凱富飯店(St John Inn)

The management at this resort is very cold and inflexible. I tried to cancel almost two months ahead of my reservation due to a medical emergency and the manager wouldn't work with me at all. I booked through VRBO making sure I had a free cancellation. Apparently, this resort requires 2 months notice. It must have been hidden in their contract because I thought 7 weeks was plenty of notice and most cancellation policies are much less than that. They wouldn't even consider a partial refund.

The staff is great - not only did they save our vacation (from another ******* screw up) - Donna was all over our requests for the best resteraunts and getting reservations, booking adventure trips and informing us on the best beaches and how to get there--comfy clean rooms- and a friendly atmosphere you wont get at a resort - between the breakfast and happy hour you got to know everyone staying at the Inn - a great way to find out what's a good find from someone who was just there

We had an awesome stay at the St John's Inn in March 2024. Very easy to get to from the ferry dock in Cruz Bay. The manager, Donna, and the owner, David, were very accommodating and welcoming. Guests can hang out and enjoy the complimentary breakfast and Rum punch for happy hour. They have beach gear to use including coolers, beach chairs, towels and snorkeling gear. Donna can make reservations for you at the finer restaurants. They have a small pool with lovely plants and flowers around the property. Rooms 122, 116 and 115 were our favorites. It is boho chic in a cool, 400 year old building with lots of character. We will be back to visit our new friends. David and Donna will take great care of you!

The St. John Inn was a lucky choice for us for 3 days in St. John. It is, as others have noted, very close to Cruz Bay - the ferry terminal and restaurants (a 5 minute walk) but far enough away to not be bombarded by loud music from the bars well into the night. It is Caribbean funky and laid back in a good way. Such a friendly vibe, from the staff to fellow guests. The outside area encourages people to chat (or not, as you wish) at the complimentary cocktail hour and breakfast times. Our bed was comfy with high quality linens. A special shout out to Manager Lindsay! Such a welcoming, genial, & outgoing person who was beyond helpful and considerate to us! Thank you!!

This place was very cute. It had great reviews. Mostly everything was clean and everyone was friendly. I only put my feet in the pool and it was nice temperature. There was construction around us at this time but wasn’t a big deal. We could walk to everywhere from here However, me and my partner both got bedbugs bites all over our legs. Due to this I’m giving 3 stars.

We really enjoyed our stay at the St John Inn! Just did one night there, but I would definitely recommend it. We went with another couple and shared their 2-BR suite. Clean and comfortable rooms - the ACs work great. Nice little touches in the room. Even had a little private patio and hammock. Visited the pool that night after dinner and it is small, so it actually retained the heat from the day and felt comfortably heated. Didn’t partake in their complimentary happy hour or continental breakfast, but appreciated the option (didn’t know about either of those before booking). Loved that it was close enough to town to walk (and that it came with a parking spot for the night!). The staff was super friendly and accommodating. We will definitely stay here again.

Mary and I enjoyed 5 days at the St. John Inn and our hosts , Donna, Lindsay, and Dave made our stay easy, comfortable and fun. Breakfast at 8, but you can turn on the coffee when you get up, so I had some peaceful early mornings on the deck watching the hummingbirds and bananaquits feed, and listening to the roosters starting their days. Evening happy hour was a nice social event with our hosts sharing personal experiences and making recommendations for restaurants and new beaches to explore. The rum punch was a bonus, but the real treat was the leisurely conversations.

Part of the reason I am writing this review is because I left my comment on a fb post on how I thought the rooms to be overpriced. The person blocked me for my honesty. If this is the way they approach customer service, then Im glad I wont give them my business again. The patios and pool were really lovely with flora and fauna and the cutest little cats that lived there. Our room was terrible. Dismal at best. It was a dark dirty pink color with 2 very small windows. The sink had a pvc pipe that drained into the shower and it was pretty gross. I spent nearly 4k for my 12 day stay. Had I paid less I would have had no complaints. Way overpriced for what it is. I read all the reviews that were misleading. No one tells the truth about the rooms here. If you are charging this amount of money, invest in some upgrades for your guests instead of trying to take advantage.

Stayed for a very lovely and relaxing week. We were able to walk to the Inn from the ferry dock. The free breakfast and coffee was a perfect way to begin our day. Rooms are all a little different and colorful with comfortable beds and what you'd expect on an island. Staff is very friendly and helpful with our needs and questions. After breakfast, we were able to borrow a cooler, snorkle gear and beach chairs from the Inn, free of charge. Enjoyed a 1.2 mile hike to a beautiful sandy beach and saw a few deer (typical) on the trail. When we returned later that afternoon, there was a great free rum punch set up near the deck...we made friends with a number of the other guests who later joined us for dinner. A quick dip in the cute little pool was all we needed to cool off after a fantastic day. I'd recommend this place for any other couple looking for a romantic getaway, walking hand in hand to town and enjoying fantastic weather and beaches.
