Marriott's Frenchman's Cove

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.

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!

The landscaping was very attractive.

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! 😉

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.

Special and warm thanks to JUSTINE BELAVEK!!! She really went beyond the call of duty to help with our ALL our Hospitality needs and lots of questions of "Things to do"!!! Thank you again for assisting in ALL our travel needs.... :)

Great place
Clean
Great beach

I can’t say enough great things about Marriott’s Frenchman’s Cove!

We just returned from a week-long stay at this beautiful property, and we truly love it here. The location is fantastic, so convenient for exploring all the incredible beaches that St. Thomas has to offer.

The pool is a huge highlight for my boys, they absolutely loved the slide, and there were plenty of activities right on the property like chess and cornhole to keep them entertained. While the on-site dining options are somewhat limited, everything we had from the main restaurant was delicious. In fact, we ended up canceling some of our reservations off property just to stay and enjoy the resort even more.

The coffee/gift shop is also a great touch, offering treats and convenient grab-and-go items. It even had essentials like ear drops for my kids, which saved us a trip into town, such a lifesaver!

What really made this trip special, though, was the staff. Everyone was so wonderful, attentive, kind, and especially great with our kids. They truly made our stay memorable. I wish I could remember names, but we want to give a special shoutout to the front desk team, the activities staff, the bartenders, the security team that controls the gate, the groundkeepers that kept the resort looking beautiful and especially the pool attendant who found my husband’s phone by the hot tub!

We can’t wait to come back!

Visited during Spring Break, busy time and resort sold out. Property location is beautiful and grounds are kept neat and clean. Activities each day including an onsite shopping bazaar offered variety for both adults and children. Restaurant has good selection and when available will offer poolside service which was a bonus. Overall quiet and family oriented, would visit this property again.

we stayed here years ago .. staff had a major major attitude … hopefully that changed … slow staff .. entitled staff .. as if they were doing you a favor by serving you … never had enough towels .. not up to marriott standards .. maybe it changed by now.. hopefully it did

pretty views

Good size, clean.

Check in was horrible, but our stay was perfect. Clean room, every other day tidy service. Helpful and very friendly staff. Pool was wonderful, granddaughter loved slide. Lots of families. Restaurant was good, plenty of other choices at Westin and Bayou Haus. Shuttle service to other hotels makes it easy. Pool chairs filled up early. Fun watching cruise ships come and go. All in all wonderful stay.

To start with the positives, this hotel is very comfortable with nice rooms, decent Wi-Fi, tasty food, and a good variety of activities. The staff, especially those working by the pool restaurant, were incredible—hardworking, friendly, and approachable.

However, I would not recommend this place if you are on a budget, looking for plenty of space on the beach, or seeking a quiet environment to recharge. Food can be quite expensive—for example, changing chips to fries costs $4 USD, and a Double Stack Burger with fries is roughly $30 USD. The beach is naturally beautiful but is a small cove, so space is very limited, particularly during high season.

Overall, the hotel has many positives, but the cost, crowding, and limited beach space prevented me from fully enjoying my stay. That said, the staff genuinely try their best, and I do not dismiss their effort.

We were asked to do a timeshare tour and we went to the front desk. We overheard the front lady at the front using racial slurs behind our back….Justine is her name I would never come this time share presentation the front desk people are making racial slurs about customers behind their back. Calling me and my wife niggerI would never go there again.

Comfy beds

Booked this kind of last minute. Couldn’t believe that a week was available a month out. We have been coming to the Cove for years- but we come in March. This was an unexpected treat! Water was warmer this time of year, and things were laid back. The chairs were available until 9:00! lol. We did a St John day, a trip turtle trip with Someday, and went to Lime Out for lunch. Dinners we had Smoking Rooster, XO Bistro, Longboard and whatever the restaurant is at the Westin. Do not recommend the Westin. We had some very casual burgers and wraps and none of it was good. Everywhere else was very good. Can’t wait to return!

The staff were extremely helpful and nice. They accommodated us in all of the ways that we needed them to. The rooms were extremely clean and comfortable and the amenities provided with the resort were even better. Delicious food, amazing staff, and an awesome room/view.
