Long walk from hotel
If you want to see the island get a rental it is cheaper than a taxi. Also, don't take a taxi to this hotel it is a 2 minute walk.

Couple getaway
The location of the Best Western Carib Beach Resort was excellent-a quick ride by taxi to locations and a quick walk to the airport. The staff was very helpful and friendly. They would call for the shuttle to the Best Western sister resort and also call a taxi for us. The room was cleaned each day for us unless we chose otherwise. The bartenders, Daniel & Espirit were awesome!!! We really had a great time hanging out at the bar meeting new people & enjoying the best drinks. We used the shuttle to go across to the sister location and use the beach (very nice beach). The pool looked really cool although we didn't use it. The only negative thing I could say is that the bath water never really got warm. Out of the 7 nights we stayed I only really had one really warm shower, but we were at the beach. Had I have had my children with me this would've been a major problem.

Great close to airport
The first great thing was that the hotel was so close to the airport there was no need for a taxi, also there was no rushing on the return flight home as it was a quick walk (approx 5 min). Although the hotel was near perfect the beach and food were adequate but nothing special. That part is a wash because the free shuttle to the Emerald Beach gave you the beach and great food. Most of our down time was spent at the Emerald Beach resort as far as food and the beach. the hotel is also close to Atlantic Coast seafood which is a good deal fro the money and the food is great along with the wait staff. The hotel was clean and the rooms were kept very clean and had a nice view. All in all a great place to stay.

Money-saving tip:
Short walk from hotel
Take the dollar taxis into town, easily accessed by the end of the airport and just across the street and a short walk. Standard taxis are $6.00 to town, and the dollar taxis can pretty much take you to where you want to go. The only are on the main roads which is not big deal. We only took two taxis, one to coral world and one to Sapphire beach in a week. There was no need to rent a car. Not a good place to drive, terrain is very hilly and some trucks need two lanes. Horn means they are in your lane!

Anniversary trip with parents
The hotel was very good for my wife and I. My parents were celebrating their 50th anniversary in St. Thomas and my wife and I joined them. We needed a hotel that was more reasonably priced than where my parents stayed and the Carib Beach resort worked out well. Our room was clean and even though it wasn't fancy, it met all our needs. No beach but not a far walk (or they had a shuttle to a sister property)

Use the jitney system for travel around the island. Most locations are a $1 cost. They can get you to the local places to eat.

Convenient location
Location near the airport was great, but the staff was inconsistent . Had to take a shuttle to get to the sister hotel for food, but the shuttles only ran on the hour and they were rigid on this even when 12 of us needed a lift to the other hotel. Room was comfortable and clean and I had a great view even in a garden room. If looking for a great value this is good hotel.

Airport Hotel with Good Value
We stayed only one night and chose this hotel for it's location which was right next to the airport. Literally it is a 5 minutes walk up an incline from the arrival lounge, so no need for a taxi. The room is small, but the a/c worked fine and there was a small flat screen TV attached to the wall facing the bed (hubbie was happy). Internet was free in the lobby and the staff was nice. Our stay was too short to comment further, but we did accidentally leave our laptop charger in the room. We called the next day and they found it and saved it for us to retrieve. All in all good value.

Acceptable but not great
The room was clean and very average. The grounds were okay. The pool small and nothing really ever seemed open. We used the free shuttle to the Emerald Beach sister resort and enjoyed their grounds and beach much better. We had a nice view from our balcony. I think the price was decent for what we got. Also we walked to and from airport since it's so incredibly close. I highly recommend walking instead of getting a cab.
