To experience the natural beauty of St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands on a budget but without a tent or eco-lodge, the Inn at Tamarind Court is an ideal choice. This small hotel is a five-minute walk from the center of Cruz Bay and all it has to offer.
Location is the key to this cozy hotel's appeal. While professional shoppers will want to hit the towns of St. Thomas, a short walk will expose some unique duty-free shops nearby. Dining and drinking establishments range from laid-back to lively and are a quick stroll away. For those who consider a beach a necessity for an authentic Caribbean vacation, shuttles that deliver guests around the island to its many stunning beaches are within walking distance. The ferryboat dock and numerous water excursions can be reached on foot as well. Of course, one of the main draws of St. John is its natural beauty, preserved by the National Park status of much of its land. Different types of tours are available to experience this pristine tropical environment.
Five styles of accommodations make up the 20 total rooms at the inn. Standard rooms come with either a queen bed or two twin beds. An apartment includes a private bedroom, living room and kitchenette. The Grande Suite provides a private bedroom, two cable TVs, small refrigerator and sitting area. Six single rooms with twin beds are housed in a hostel-like building with two full bathrooms shared among them. All units come with air conditioning and cable TV, but no phones. In addition to serving award-winning meals and tasty tropical drinks, the Courtyard Restaurant and Bar serves as the focal point for social life at the hotel. A popular spot with locals, the restaurant features one of the best breakfasts on the island and each night a guest chef dishes out creative cuisine.
To avoid the expense of the luxury hotels without “roughing it” under the stars at an eco-property, budget-conscious holiday travelers will find the Inn at Tamarind Court a clean and convenient location with suitable amenities.
