The Ritz-Carlton Destination Club, St. Thomas - 2 Bedroom Suite

Nice Resort, a little disappointed as it could have been better

Overall the resort is nice, the 2 bedroom unit was adequate for 4 adults and 2 small children, if older kids, the space may feel a little cramped. Be sure you complete your due diligence to be fully informed about the resort, not only the progress of the resort and the amenities, but use and access to the existing beach and the water at the Club. Find out now before you go; do a simple Google search or make a call. When we arrived, the beach was inundated with Sargassum Seaweed, to the extreme where you could not access the water from the beach, at times, the seaweed was 6 to 8 INCHES Thick and 4 to 6 FEET in Depth and smells like rotten eggs (I would love to share some photos if I could), I would not recommend swimming, walking or wadding through this. This vast amount of seaweed limits you to the use of the pool only. The beach at the Ritz Carlton Hotel next door is in much better shape; unfortunately it is closed until the hotel re-opens hopefully in a few months, but it is nicer and in much better condition than the Club. For us, the inability to use the beach required us to leave the resort each day to visit other beaches in St Thomas and St John; something we were not anticipating doing as much as we did, initially we were only planning a 1 day snorkel trip that left from the Club. We prefer the beach, not the pool; which is a big negative for us as it defeats the purpose of going on a beach vacation, especially in the summertime when we have a nice pool here in the backyard. The St. John beaches are beautiful, worth the trip. If you simply enjoy relaxing and lounging by the pool, then you may be content. The people all around are very friendly. Recovery from the 2 Major Hurricanes of 2017 is still moving along nicely; just depends on where you go. Final note on the seaweed, when we were leaving, the Club did finally bring in some new equipment to aid in the removal of the seaweed, but unfortunately for us, it was too late.”

Very enjoyable trip

We had a very nice week at our two bedroom condo. The unit was nice but definitely a resort-type layout in that the living room and kitchen were both small and the utensils provided are just the basics. That said, the bedroom and patio were quite spacious which is where people spend their time anyway. The residence side of the property was nicer than the hotel side (in our opinion) and much quieter too. I could see finding a chair on the hotel side tough but it wasn't an issue on the owner side. The food was only mediocre yet still at Ritz prices so we often took taxis into Red Hook and just found places there. That was enjoyable but cost $40 RT so plan on spending money on cabs. It's just the way the VIrgin Islands are (same on St. John) and we had no issue with it. We really liked the location and preferred going into Red Hook vs the larger town of Charlotte Amalie. Much quainter and easy to navigate. Overall, it was a solid unit and we liked it a lot. Workout facility was nice as was Zest, their coffee/yogurt shop. Had Lattees each morning. Thx for sharing with our family and we hope to return some day. ”

Excellent stay at the Ritz Carlton Club St. Thomas

The Ritz Carlton Hotel and Club are right down the road from both of our St.Thomas villas so the stay was very convenient. The Club and Hotel are beautiful. We had a great time. Lots of pools for the kids and two beautiful beaches. Weather was great!”

Fantastic property with wonderful staff

Can't speak more highly of the Ritz Club St Thomas. Beautiful, relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable. Looking forward to our return in January!”

Amazing relaxing place

We enjoyed a very relaxing and wonderful vacation in St Thomas at the Ritz Carlton. The property is elegant, clean, beautifull and updated. It has two large balconies overlooking the bay/ocean. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The resort is high class and we would recommend it. The beaches are realy good Andy & Javier”

Everything You Would Expect

This property has a very similar look and feel to other Ritz-Carlton properties across the world. The service, views, and lush landscaping throughout the property were all fantastic. The residences side of the property has it's own pool and spas and then you can easily walk over to the hotel side with additional amenities such as the infinity pool overlooking the ocean. We couldn't have asked for a better Memorial Day weekend! Thanks so much! Jarrett & Michelle”

Comfortable elegance

We stayed in this property during the week of Christmas, 2015. The property is elegant, clean, and updated. The staff is friendly and attentive. The unit is WONDERFUL. We were told that it is the nicest unit in the whole property, and have no reason to doubt this. Located on the top floor, it has high ceilings, and two large balconies overlooking the bay/ocean. We were able to use the facilities at the adjacent RC hotel, including daily use (for a fee) of all the waterspouts including snorkeling and sailing. This is a great place to spend your week.”

Amazing vacation

We enjoyed an amazing vacation in St Thomas. The property was beautiful, the staff was very accommodating and the weather was exceptional. We will definitely go back again and again. Thank you!”

Awesome family vacation

The staff treated us wonderfully, and everything was first rate. We went sailing and saw sea turtles, snorkeled, swam, and generally had a very full week. Food is probably 2-3x what you'd expect to pay in the states, but it was all delicious. Bring a sweater for the room though - its heavily air conditioned. ”

Great Property
