We stayed in 8A, a lower-level Oceanview unit for a week.
- Beautiful view of the ocean / steps away from snorkeling, which is very good at the resort. We also snorkeled at Trunk Bay, Hawksnest, Honeymoon/Salomon Bay, and also in St. Thomas and we thought the snorkeling was best at Gallows Point. I don't think you can get a better snorkeling experience unless you rent a car and drive further out, or take a boat trip out somewhere. Do recommend renting a jeep for at least a day. We relied on taxis but it's inconvienent to go further than the popular beaches closer to Cruz Bay.
- Unit is well furnished. Sounds like most units have been renovated lately. Kitchen is very nice. We cooked most breakfast and some lunch. Food is expensive and dining option is somewhat limited given the size of the island. We took advantage of the nice amenities. Bathroom was huge and bedroom was also nice. TVs in both the living room and the bedroom. Also had a DVD player and radio/IPOD dock.
- We booked oceanview because we read some prior TA reviews about noise levels if you stay in the Harborview rooms. We only heard some music from the Beach Bar nearby on one night, and you will hear some noise during the day from the ferry/ships docking at Cruz bay. View is also beautiful so you can't go wrong with Harborview or Oceanview.
- Very quiet/intimate settings. No kids. A great place for couples.
- Location is great. Very close to cruz bay/close to ferry and all of the restaurants/bars. It's less than a 5 minute walk.
- Restaurants : Fishtrap, LimeInn had decent seafood. Liked the Beach Bar - good bar food and friendly atmosphere. Uncle Joe's BBQ is a good place to take-out chicken/ribs. We didn't get to try ZoZo's, which is the restaurant at Gallows Point. It is a bit more expensive, but the place was packed every night we were there.
- We definitely would return to Gallows Point. You can also check out the Westin, if you want the big resort experience and have kids. Caneel Bay is also very nice, but more expensive.
