The room and bath were dirty. There were such strong dog urine and feces odors that I had to leave the balcony door open the entire time we were there so as to prevent getting a migraine. The bed was uncomfortable, and the sheets did not cover the bare mattress. The furniture was old and worn. I'm fairly sure the walls had not been painted in 50 years nor cleaned in as many. My fiance, who loves to "get into the culture" loved it; I could hardly wait to leave.

I went to the Courtyard Marriott July 2008. It was the best hotel I have been to in a long time. The staff is great especially the manager Mr. Arroyo, he is very accomadating and tends to your needs.
The hotel was very clean and the staff were very nice and helpful from the doormen to the managers and the restaurants are great, If you stay here you must eat at Salsa Restaurant, the buffet will be the best Puerto Rican Cuisine you can ever eat.
The beach is great and so are the pools even though they should get cleaned every other day.
This is a great hotel for business people,families and couples.
One more thing thats great in this hotel is that there is nightly live entertainment that everyone enjoys, and if like casinos this is your place to stay.

Celebrated my 70th birthday with my family. Total 11 people ranging from 2 to 70.
Accomadations great
Staff wonderfull
House Mgr Arlene Connell - most accomadating
Only complaint is food, but didn't seem like there was any great food on island
Except for that would most highly recomend

I stayed at happy bay villa with 4 friends, we were looking for relax and, indeed, we found it at an incredible house that offered us everything for getting the most out of it for ou relaxation. Futhermore, incredible views and an outstanding beach at hand.

One need to appreciate the context of what St. John is all about.... its preserved forest and natural environment. One stays at a place like Harmony Studios in Maho.... spend time snorkeling.... (where are all the Angels?????) I had been to Maho twice before this trip in the mid '80s.... snorkeled in three feet of water and fish...Angels abound.... This year, sad to say, the Angels no longer abound...tragic, I must say!!!!! My daughter was thrilled to see schools of tiny fishes, but not angels. Still, I must say, the waters from above and under... is incredible in the Virgin Islands!!!!!!
A one morning tour of the entire St. John Island is a must .... to see the diversified terrain of this island. The different water shores, the harbors and coves and the marinas.... the views of the mountainsides.... the beauty of the preserved areas compared to over-developed sections..... The awareness to what this island is, is very crucial because the 'preserve' status makes what St.John USVI all about!!!!!!!
I cannot see St John losing its potable water.... what happened???????
