50/50, like anywhere - pros and cons!

Advantages: Pool, Staff, turndown and beds.
Disadvantages: Beach, room, shower (not power)

Pros... The pool was nice and the staff overall was helpful (you always get the occasional staff member that could care less about your stay and that one person always seems to be the one you remember most unfortunately) The guys at the pool and the waitstaff at Bleuwater and Great Bay Lounge were especially nice. The view of St. John is beautiful The turndown service was always a nice touch with dimmed lights, music and chocolates on the pillow ...
...week. Cons... The beach is tiny. We typically like a long beach that you can walk on each day. It really doesn't exist on St. Thomas though. The room was nice but it didn't wow us. The shower was very average (nothing special), but beyond that it was clean. The food on the resort is rediculously expensive. You become jaded to the prices after a day or so. The resort charges a daily "resort fee" of $55 which I think is absurd. I know most resorts ...

Review of The Ritz Carlton, St Thomas

great place to relax in peace and quiet

Advantages: small and quaint
Disadvantages: limited cell phone

I agree with Frommer's and others description of this property. My wife and I have been coming here for 10 years. Just now leaving after a week stay (with 31 yr old son) and will be returning later this august for another week. The negative posts at other review sites are off the mark given the change of property owners. If it was as bad as portrayed, I wouldn't stay here year after year sometimes in consecutive months. New owners are in process ...
...you want a resort, all inclusive and are a clean freak like "monk" on TV-dont go here. If you are a watersports enthusiast who likes a very clean, but rustic rooms, unpretentious people, locals and good food (food themes nightly) and lounge around in shorts and flip flops, come here. Best sunsets. Award winning texas draw poker nights too. Stay in rooms named coconut, pointsetia and alleanda. ...
