The stay was good, but two things the store should have more essentials groceries and there was no elevator and I was on the bottom floor walking up and down those flights of stairs was a bit much. But otherwise everything was great!!

Blue beards is a really great place to stay. It was very comfortable and had a great view! The only compliant Inhave is that I wish I had booked it through the hotel and not hotels.com! When we checked in the hotel wasn’t aware of our reservation and we had to wait an hour for them to have our room ready.

I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by Bluebeard's. The property had character and our room was quite clean, up to date, and the view was amazing. I highly recommend staying here when visiting St. Thomas.

Pirates Pension at Bluebeard's Castle is a great location for a visit at St Thomas. Situated on a hill above Charlotte Amalie you get a great view of the cruise ships and other boats in the water which is within walking distance. It is a hill, so walking is down and up. Nice location with nice rooms. A little noisy on weekends from the restaurants at the port

Having the restaurant on the property was convenient and the food was decent. The pool and hot tub were nice, the room was clean and had everything needed. The wait staff was friendly all around. The castle was closed even though the sign said it was open daily Monday- Saturday which was disappointing.

Spectacular views!
We stayed in a one bedroom suite with a spectacular view. Apartment was very clean. Kitchen amenities were fine, although no skillet. Toured Bluebeard’s Museum which was really fun and interesting. Pool area also had spectacular views. Great location.

Overall good location with gorgeous views of the bay. Beds and pillows were i bit to firm for my taste. The room was spacious and overall clean. Except the floor was fairly dirty and the back slider had a broken lock.

Needs a facelift & attitude adjustment
The property is in rough shape. It was probably great in 1990! The bellman was rude. Everyone but the bartenders seem bothered to give service. The whole place seems like it’s ripping at the seams. Our room was comfortable enough but there were stray hairs all over the place. Gross!
The food and drinks were okay, but it’s weird that they serve everything in styrofoam and plastic.
