St John Inn

Very expensive for what it is The room wasn’t that big and the breakfast basic Very near to the ferry terminal though which is useful and handy (no taxi required)

This was our 4th stay at St John Inn since 2020. We have done one night stays and multi-night stays. This time we were there for our last night of an 18 day visit so we could have a night in Cruz Bay and be close to the ferry for departure. We had to turn in a rental car so we arrived early, around 10:00 am. Courtesy rental is just a few steps away and is our go-to for rentals after many years of visiting the island. Our room was open so the office manager for the day, Fredna, accommodated our very early check-in and even offered breakfast and helped me move bags to the room. We met the property manager, Donna, who was helping guests make reservations and helping guests plan activities, even on her “day off”. All the staff was amazing and we enjoyed a day of lounging by the pool to relax after a long trip. We stayed in the Hart Bay room (111), which is a standard room that is accessed from the office area. The room was very clean. We had a mini fridge and microwave which was perfect for preparing a light lunch to eat by the pool. We have also stayed in the Honeymoon room (120), the Cruz Bay room, and the 2 BR suite with shared bath. All the rooms are unique, but consistently decorated in a colorful, Caribbean style. They also have excellent WiFi throughout the property :).

The management at this resort is very cold and inflexible. I tried to cancel almost two months ahead of my reservation due to a medical emergency and the manager wouldn't work with me at all. I booked through VRBO making sure I had a free cancellation. Apparently, this resort requires 2 months notice. It must have been hidden in their contract because I thought 7 weeks was plenty of notice and most cancellation policies are much less than that. They wouldn't even consider a partial refund.
