  Had a great time at Bolongo Bay - only have one suggestion!

  We just returned from Bolongo Bay Beach Resort! I have so many GREAT things to say about this place! The food was SUPERB, the accomodations were nice, the staff was SO friendly and welcoming. We were looking for a small resort, and this was the perfect size. We took our kids and grandkids, so there were 11 in our party. The grandkids are ages 4 to 14, and there was something for all of them. They kayaked and swam and snorkeled until they were exhausted. I loved watching them swim up to the bar in the pool and get milkshakes! I highly recommend the swim with turtles excursion, and also going into St. John to visit the stunning beaches! I only have one suggestion for the resort. There was a lot of pushback from the hostesses when we expected to sit together at meals. (We had reservations) They definitely did not want to seat us together, and there was no reason for it. My husband has been in foodservice for decades, and understands pacing the kitchen so it doesn't get behind. This was not that. They would seat us at 2 different tables about 3 feet from each other, all of us ordering at the same time, and refused to put the tables together or allow us to do it except for maybe 2 meals. That may not seem like a big deal, but we don't live in the same place as our family, and we came to intentionally spend time together. We would go off on our own doing different activities during the day, and wanted to have our meals together to laugh and talk and share our experiences. That's what vacation is for - connection with the people you love. I would DEFINITELY go back, but only the expectation upfront that we would have our meals together as a family. That is really important to me. If they can fix this, I would absolutely give them 5 stars.

  We got the all-inclusive stay and that was the best decision hands down. The resort is beautiful, and Iggies bar and grille was delicious. We only left to go try the banana daiquiris at mountain top. Everything else you could want, Bolongo Bay has. Swimming with turtles? Absolutely amazing and the crew and captain were amazing and hilarious. The staff at the resort treats you like family. Everything was amazing. I know people say the rooms are outdated and the bathroom is small, but honestly we weren’t in our room that much. And if you’re only going to a resort for the room… that’s lame. Our room had a balcony right next to igges so every night we could sit out and watch the ocean and still enjoy that night’s entertainment. We will 100% come back and recommend it to everyone we know. The all inclusive is the best way to go, you get breakfast, lunch, four course dinner with a bottle of wine every night, and all the drinks you could want. Seriously we probably drank our total cost of the all inclusive. Just stay here, its amazing.

  Great all inclusive in St. Thomas

  My wife and I went here with our two boys (12 and 13). The resort was lovely. The food was outstanding. Staff was friendly. Everything we had was delicious and there was a wide variety of options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The beach was a little small, but nice and they had some snorkeling gear, paddle boards, kayaks and corn hole on the beach. They had music every night at dinner.

  A quaint and family friendly all inclusive resort!

  My family had a wonderful time at Bolongo Bay Beach Resort! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel like we were right at home in paradise. We soaked up every minute—between the pool, the beach, and the delicious food, there was never a dull moment. One of the absolute highlights was the catamaran excursion to Buck Island, where we got to snorkel and swim with turtles—truly an unforgettable experience! Our stay wasn’t long, but it was packed with fun, relaxation, and memory-making.
