Marriott's Frenchman's Cove

High quality and good value

Excellent location with great views overlooking Charlotte Amalie harbor. 5 minute drive to downtown and 2 minutes to the Westin resort. Atmosphere is family oriented but also great for adults. Beach is small but gently sloping and very swimmable. Bring water shoes as there are a few rocks close to shore. Rooms are spacious, clean and quiet. Beds are typical Marriott high quality. Kitchens are fully equipped. Market is nicely stocked. Check in was seamless. Parking near our unit. Must take three elevators to the beach due to the vertical site layout but this is not a problem. Overall typical Marriott high quality and good value.

The Cove- impeccable!

Always clean and beautiful! Marvin does an incredible job in the mornings getting the beach ready and is so friendly to talk to. We also love Carmen and enjoy talking to her. The grounds are kept so nice and we always feel welcomed back. I think the entertainment and events during the day should be less room charge and more like it used to be but we enjoy our time there and LOVE the steel drum band and Kareoke night!

See above. I would not recommend this place.

The landscaping was very attractive.

Cons Parking was limited. Housekeeping only comes by on set days and if you need ANYTHING on other days you are charged a fee. Our room has a view of the roof of the next building. A bright light was outside our patio so enjoying the night was bothersome. The beach is rocky and has a sign warning people of potential harm from it.

Perfect destination

50 years ago we stayed at Frenchman’s Reef for our Honeymoon and decided we should return for our 50th! We were not disappointed. The rebuilt Frenchman’s Reef Westin by Marriott offered the same breathtaking views and customer service. The concierge was lovely to work with and staff members were helpful and kind hearted. The Edge pool and bar/restaurant was great, as was Luna Mar for dinner. It won’t be 50 more years pass without returning this time! 😉

Great Hotel

Family of 4 with 2 college age boys and booked a 2 bedroom. It was quite spacious and wonderful views from the 5th floor on the top building (St John’s Bldg). The kitchen had a microwave, coffee pot, oven, dish washer, full size fridge and a stove. They also had gas grills for you to use. Getting to the beach did take 3 elevators but once you got there the views were great. Beach was smallish but private and we spent most of the time there. They have 3 floating mats anchored in the cove. Snorkeling just to the right of the hotel had some nice coral with a number of fish there. The pool overlooks the beach. It was not crowded and I appreciated not having to get up real early to get a good seat. Didn’t interact with staff all that much but when I did they were very friendly. I would certainly go back and stay there again.
