Cruz Bay Boutique Hotel

My wife and I found this to be a wonderful, small hotel in a prime location. The rooms are very clean with strong AC and powerful shower. Denise, the owner, and her staff of Victoria and Teri were friendly and very accommodating to my wife and I - could not be nicer. They offer a complimentary "continental" breakfast in the lobby that was a perfect way to start each day - nothing fancy, but who goes to St. John for the breakfast? Each morning we would sit on the nicely appointed, flowered veranda on our floor that overlooked the street and catch the gentle morning breezes, while sipping our coffee. They also provide beach chairs, towels and a good sun screen (which is mandatory). it is such an easy walk to everywhere, including the best restaurants in St. John and the ferry is a few minutes away and a comfortable walk. We loved this little "gem" and will definitely be returning in the future.

We spent the first part of our honeymoon at Cruz Bay Boutique Hotel. It was one of the best decisions of our trip! Denise was so welcoming from the moment we arrived. She gave great recommendations on where to eat, where to hike and which beaches to go to. We loved grabbing coffee in the morning and sitting in the shared outdoor patio space. The room was perfect and had everything we needed. We hope to be back for future trips! -Sarah and Josiah

Dates of Stay: 2/19/25 - 2/22/25. Finished up our week long trip with 3 nights here. Denise was incredibly welcoming as we checked in. Has 2 spots to park your car for dropping your luggage off so don’t stress out about that if using a car. If you pair this place up with Courtesy car rentals then park your car there and stay here, it’s the best of both worlds as having a car is the way to go on STJ. Rooms had great air conditioning and a comfortable bed which is all we needed as we were outside exploring most of the day. Coffee in morning, muffins, oatmeal which was clutch for our early wake up times when we wanted to get up and go. I’d use them again in the future. One of the more affordable places on STJ where you’re getting good value for your $. The location is 10/10. It is so easy to get anywhere from here too. Thanks again!

Cruz Bay Boutique Hotel is a fabulous in-town hotel when visiting St. John. The rooms are clean and comfortable with plenty of outdoor lounge space to enjoy the warm weather. Restaurants, shops, bars and even a few beaches are a short walk from their front door. The owners, Denise and David, are an awesome resource for tips and recommendations for the whole island of St. John. The hotel provides beach chairs, coolers and ice for guest's day trips to the island's beautiful beaches. Breakfast is conveniently provided every morning. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Boutique Hotel and will book again when we return to St. John.

Bob and I always love staying at Cruz Bay Boutique Hotel. Comfy rooms, great coffee and breakfast in the morning, fabulous location, lovely porch area for hanging out. Homey and authentic. Smiling faces! Our favorite place to stay in town.

We love Cruz Bay Boutique Hotel and have stayed there many times. Comfortable rooms, great coffee and breakfast in the morning, lovely outdoor common area for hanging out. The location couldn’t be better!

“Wow… I’ve found my new home in the USVI! The hospitality from the owners, staff, and even the neighboring restaurants was nothing short of incredible—genuine and caring are truly the best words to describe it. The atmosphere was charming, peaceful, and welcoming, making it the perfect escape. I’m already counting down the days until I can return!”

This is a cute, charming boutique hotel! The location is wonderful and the rooms are extremely clean. The staff and owners take pride in their hotel and were so helpful in telling us the good restaurants and the great beaches. Next time I’m in St. John I will stay here again.

Great location, friendly staff and a comfortable room! I was also very happy they had back up solar and a redundancy generator for the power outages. 10/10 will be back. Thanks from Rex and Brady!

You can't beat this convenient location -- a five-minute walk from the ferry, taxi stand, beach, and many local restaurants. Denise is a wonderful, welcoming host and gave great local recommendations. The hotel itself is cute, clean, and has a nice balcony overlooking the street.

Absolutely wonderful place to stay if you are exploring Saint Johns. The location is an easy walk from the ferry-even with your luggage. The hotel is beautifully kept with lush tropical foliage. Each room is comfortably furnished and unique from the others. The patio gathering location is a little oasis and a great way to pass an evening with other guests. The owners are terrific. Highly recommended!

We loved this place! It's centrally located and walking distance to all the beaches and restaurants. Plus they were very accommodating with our rocky schedule. We would definitely stay here again next time we go back. Thanks!!

Fantastic location and wonderful hosts. The room is very comfortable, and the location cannot be beaten -- less than 5 minute walk from the Cruz Bay ferry. The morning breakfast is small but helps in getting the day started. Strongly recommended.

Beatiful, cozy, clean hotel right in downtown Cruz Bay. Safe and secure. Walking distance to everything downtown. Hosts are wonderful.

Had a fabulous time in St John. Dave and Denise from the hotel are really nice people who make you feel wanted and valued. They have expanded the hotel and will soon have additional rooms. Up to 15 I think. Location is ideal right in the heart of Cruz Bay within a short walk to top notch dining and laid back public transportation to St John's beautiful beaches. Highly recommend this place to anyone coming to Paradise.

What a wonderful place in the heart of Love City! Denise and David are wonderful hosts who make you feel like family. The outdoor terrace is a wonderful space for pre-dinner cocktails. The rooms are appointed in true St. Johnian style with just what you need and no more. Offering beach chairs and towels, as well as coolers and ice---all you need for your beach adventure!

I can't say enough great things about this hotel! The staff is absolutely wonderful and so accommodating. Having breakfast ready for you every morning is an added bonus and chatting with the staff, getting recommendations on local things just added to the experience. the location is PERFECT for all things in Cruz Bay and the rooms are cute and clean. I would recommend this hotel to any of my friends and family and plan to stay again on my next visit to the islands!

So happy we stayed here. Denise and David were awesome and so helpful! We came in for a wedding and it was the perfect location. Room 8 was super clean and even had a little balcony. Totally recommend this hotel!

This is the place to be! We stayed here during the July 4th Carnival so it was kinda loud (although they send you an email about it, if it's carnival week or any event happening around the time of your stay), but Cruz Bay Boutique Hotel is right next to everything! There's a restaurant downstairs, across the street, and the breakfast food is great! It's also close to Mangoose Junction (shopping place that is absolutely beautiful) and it's literally a street from the dock! Not to mention that we were welcomed by Victoria, who was just the friendliest person ever! The bathroom is very clean and the AC works great, the bed is super comfortable too! I recommend this place to anyone who is visiting St. John! The room is very quaint and chic. It's fabulous! STAY HERE! :)

Missed the barge back to St. Thomas one night on vacation. We were lucky enough to find this little charm! We called very last minute, also a little lost - and David, one of the owners, helped us navigate our way down to the hotel. There was only one room left - the penthouse apartment, lucky us. Very modern and clean, equipped with a full kitchen, living room, bathroom, and separate bedroom. (Hint: there are board games in the tv drawer thing. We didn't see it until we were leaving) There is a laundry room and breakfast is served in the morning. It's a minute away from the port and down the street from the shops and restaurants in Cruz Bay. There's also a pizzeria and another restaurant downstairs, I believe it was West Indian cuisine. Also parking nearby. Ours was a very short stay but it was very comfortable! Thank you to the owners for being so welcoming! I would love to come back. And not on accident this time! :)

The Cruz Bay Boutique hotel is absolutely amazing. Denise, David, Kathy, Oneyda Ada and Melissa are all incredible! They welcomed my family with open arms and a genuine kindness. We stayed here for my wedding and everyone make me feel so special! They have a beautiful patio where you can enjoy your coffee and complimentary breakfast in the morning and the rooms are just gorgeous. Everything is spectacularly clean and decorated so cute and beachy. I will definitely be staying here again. If you are looking for excellent service, a great place to stay and the most kind people you have met then this is the place for you!

We had a great stay at Cruz Bay Boutique Hotel (Sun 12/13/15-Thurs 12/17/15). After doing a lot of research both on Yelp and Trip Advisor, it seemed to be the best option for my friend and I for a number of reasons: location, price and service. I'm happy to say that it delivered on all of these and more. Location: the hotel is walking distance from the ferry (yes even with luggage). Not only that but every day we walked to the taxis which are parked outside of the ferry and went off to a new destination. Super convenient. Taxi rides ranged from $5-7 pp to get to the major beaches. The downtown area is also great to walk to dinner/shopping. Because this is where all of the action is. No need to rent a vehicle if you stay here (or if you want to there are rentals on each side of the hotel). Price: There are in season and off season prices which for STJ seemed to be very reasonable compared to other resorts of a similar grade level. Service: Truly outstanding and often the thing that most influences your enjoyment of a vacation. Victoria greeted us and was often at the front desk during our stay. She was enthusiastic about the island and provided outstanding recommendations all of which contributed to our wonderful stay. I saw that she was mentioned in other reviews which makes me happy because she was so sweet and helpful. One day she made us reservation to Extra Virgin Bistro (see that 5 star review) and left a nice handwritten note in my room with all of the details. There are people who go to work and do their jobs and others who go above and beyond. THANK YOU VICTORIA! We also had the pleasure of meeting David the owner and his mom Kathy - both wonderful and welcoming too. On our last day, we left early for a morning swim. When we got back, Kathy had left breakfast/coffee out late for us just in case we wanted something. She was so lovely and sweet. Other details that might be helpful: -The rooms are clean and modestly appointed. I found that I had everything I needed/wanted. The decor is simple and modern. Bed was comfortable. There is an A/C unit and TV in the room. Shower head is nice, shower itself is small (which was fine). There is a mini frig that they stock with bottled water (thank you!). There are beach towels in your room and you're given soap along with a small shampoo and conditioner (no tissues, so you may want to bring your own). There is a supply of sunscreen and bug spray for all guests to use located in a common area ( you may want to buy your own of both so that you're covered while at the beach). Breakfast includes some fresh fruit (apples, bananas), oatmeal, coffee cakes, yogurt, coffee/tea. -WIFI is free The rooms are small and ideal for one person (unless you're coming as a couple) as there's one double bed. I don't recall if two single beds is an option, you'd have to check their website. There is a penthouse option which holds more people. It was nice because my friend and I got our own rooms. There is a rack to hang clothes as well as a small dresser. -Hotel is located on second floor so you will bring your suitcases up (and they will help you with that too). My recommendation is don't bring too much as you don't need much. If there's something you have forgotten, there is a little mini mart store a short walk up the street. Finally another thing I loved about staying here was the story of the owners who married on the island and bought the hotel. I enjoyed supporting a resident rather than a big chain. Long story short, I'm glad we stayed here and appreciate the warm hospitality. STJ is truly a special place with special people.

Love this place. The owners are helpful and caring and what they do. My stay was great, room comfortable and the location can't be beat as you can walk to every place in town. And if you need a car there are car rental places on either side. A gem!!!
