The 5 Best St Thomas Hotels

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - April 30, 2016

St. Thomas is one of the most beautiful parts of the Caribbean, the effective capital of the United States Virgin Islands, and St Thomas hotels are some of the best places to stay in all of the VI. Blessed with perfect beaches, green hills and an island-hopping lifestyle, it’s no surprise that the no-passport-required island of St Thomas is one of the Caribbean’s most-loved destinations, both for leisure travelers and passengers arriving by sea. And while you can stay anywhere from a small boutique hotel to a villa, some St. Thomas hotels are just that much better, combining the perfect marriage of convience and experience: these are our favorite St Thomas hotels.
