St Thomas’ Top All-Inclusive Is a Legendary, Family-Owned Beach Resort  

By: Alexander Britell - October 24, 2024

It isn’t just the best all-inclusive resort in St Thomas. It’s the only all-inclusive resort in St Thomas. But the family-owned Bolongo Bay Beach Resort is far more than just a food and beverage package. It’s one of the Caribbean’s most legendary places to stay. Period. 

The hotel, which is celebrating its 50th birthday this year, is set on a beautiful stretch of white-sand beach on the southeastern coast of the island, with 65 rooms all perched right over the sand in an intimate, charming setting. 

It’s the sort of place you come back to year after year, where where you bring your family back again and again, as travelers have been doing so for years, drawn to things like the “snorkel booze hunt” and the three-story Oasis restaurant and bar. 

We’ve stayed at the resort countless times, and it remains one of our favorite places in the Caribbean — it’s one of those unique stops in the region that’s a must for any Caribbean aficionado. Just mention the name “Bolongo” and any frequent Caribbean traveler’s eyes will light up. There’s just something special about it, about the way the Doumeng family has stewarded it over all these years.

Even better? Bolongo just launched a new program that gives you a 15 percent discount if you travel to the property now through Dec. 23. After that? You can still get 10 percent off your stay. 

You just need to book your vacation before the end of January.
