This summer was my second vacation to St Thomas. Last year I stayed at the Wyndham at Sugar Bay. I thought this year I would try something a little different. When I was booking my trip online this year Bolongo Bays resort photos really caught my eye. Upon arriving and checking in I was very dissapointed with this place. It did look sort of like ...
absolutly the worst hotel we ever stayed at- the service, location. beach and resturant was not worth a dime. the rooms were smeely and we were told to carry our own bags up one flight- do not beleive ther ads or aaa rating
I loved the stay at Bolongo Bay. We took our honeymoon there for 8 days. It was off season so there weren't too many people around. The staff was very friendly, personal and attentive, especially in the gift shop. It was a cozy little spot away from all the noise. The restaurants had great food and the barmaids could whip up anything you can ...
I recently stayed here with a group of people for a destination wedding. The beach was so rocky you couldn't even think about walking in the water without watersocks. The hotel was dirty, service was poor, and the electricity went out three different days. When the electricity was out, the water didn't work, so we couldn't flush the ...

DON'T STAY AT BOLONGO BAY!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/14/07
I read several online opinions prior to booking my reservation at BB and decided to visit the property as an “all-inclusive” customer. Upon arrival, I was certainly expecting to be greeted by all of the “wonderful and nice staff” that I had read about in the advertisements and from other online reviews. The front desk staff was tolerable, but ...

Needs TLC!!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/01/06
Just came back. (07/01/06) This place needs some work! Shrubs, plants in needs of some attention. The lobby needs some paint and up-dating. Come out of the 70's!!!. This place is not exactly cheap so you expect some kind tropical flavor. Pool is small. Couldn't find the other ones. The beach is ROCKY & there IS SEAWEED. I called ...

I'm going back!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/16/06
After reading the reviews other individuals wrote, I guess it is truly too each its own! I personally did not want to stay at a cold ritzy hotel. I chose Bolongo Bay for the more personalized comforts and was not disappointed. I was married on the beach and spent the rest of my honeymoon there. The staff at Bolongo was the friendliest I have ever ...

I can`t go back again............
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/19/06
Let me begin by saying I love St. Thomas. I felt this way since setting foot on the island in 1976. However, remember the beauty of a rose, it`s great to look at it but don`t try to touch it for it will be sure to make you bleed. Things that attracted me when I was in my twenties and thirties mostly don`t do the same things for me in my fifties.I ...

funky & fun
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/26/05
just stayed there for a second time in july 2005. the rooms have been touched up since my last visit in 2002, but if it's the furnishings you're looking for, stay elsewhere. what makes bolongo special is the caring attitude of the staff & managers...and the food. it's great for a small family.

Stay somewhere else
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/20/05
We went from the Morning Star resort to this place to be with other family. That was a mistake. The hotel is old and dilapidated. They must be taking all that lodging money and pumping it into the owner's personal lodging. There were lots of reviews about how great the staff was, but they didn't strike me as overly friendly.
