The stay was good, but two things the store should have more essentials groceries and there was no elevator and I was on the bottom floor walking up and down those flights of stairs was a bit much. But otherwise everything was great!!

Blue beards is a really great place to stay. It was very comfortable and had a great view! The only compliant Inhave is that I wish I had booked it through the hotel and not hotels.com! When we checked in the hotel wasn’t aware of our reservation and we had to wait an hour for them to have our room ready.

Needs a facelift & attitude adjustment
The property is in rough shape. It was probably great in 1990! The bellman was rude. Everyone but the bartenders seem bothered to give service. The whole place seems like it’s ripping at the seams. Our room was comfortable enough but there were stray hairs all over the place. Gross!
The food and drinks were okay, but it’s weird that they serve everything in styrofoam and plastic.

No room service no house keeping steep hills to climb. Great restaurant, front desk needs customer service training.

OK property, bad attitude
The property is fine. A bit further from beautiful beaches but I knew that before arriving. However, the customer service is absolutely terrible. The front desk person is extremely rude, difficult to work with, and unfriendly. Other than enjoying the nice news of Havensight, my stay was average. With the attitude, I am for sure not going to come back nor recommend this place to anyone.

The Villa was huge with stunning views of the harbour, updated interior. Decor was perfect and very comfortable. Everything worked great. Huge Shower. Well equipped kitchen. This resort is on a very steep slope and roads and parking lots have potholes and rough old macadam. But that didn't bother me. Food was very good at the restaurant and very nice wait staff. I only stayed 2 days after a sailing trip. I would stay again.

It’s beautiful! We have a great view of the harbor in our porch. The restaurant serves great food. The server is helpful. The pool is nice. If you need to get a taxi before 7 am, you need to plan ahead.

I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by Bluebeard's. The property had character and our room was quite clean, up to date, and the view was amazing. I highly recommend staying here when visiting St. Thomas.

Pirates Pension at Bluebeard's Castle is a great location for a visit at St Thomas. Situated on a hill above Charlotte Amalie you get a great view of the cruise ships and other boats in the water which is within walking distance. It is a hill, so walking is down and up. Nice location with nice rooms. A little noisy on weekends from the restaurants at the port

Beautiful location. Rooms in great condition and comfortable. Difficulties with transportation. The property is located up a hill and sidewalks are limited walking to town. Taxis are not always available specially on the days there are cruise ships in the bay. The staff at the restaurant, luggage storage is great. The front desk , on the other hand, is nort very cordial.
