St. Thomas Hotel Price Scale
To give you a ballpark figure to budget with, we have
devised the scale below. It is based on the price of a dou-
ble room in high season (Dec 15 to April 30). It does not
take hotel amenities into account. At other times you
can expect to pay 25% less. Inquire about special rates
as part of a travel package.
Deluxe ......................$400+
Expensive ..................$301-$400
Moderate ..................$200-$300
Inexpensive ................under $200
An 8% government tax will be added
to your rate each night.
Resorts
Set off by themselves on picturesque coves, quiet
beaches, and mountaintops overlooking the sea,
these resorts often offer all the amenities one
looks for in a vacation spot. Unlike many areas
where hotels stand side-by-side along a beach and are virtu-
ally identical, each of these resorts has its own distinctive
style. Many are set on the island's East End, closer to Red
Hook than Charlotte Amalie - although none is more than
30 minutes from town. Several East End resorts have built
condominium complexes on-property. Called villas, they in-
clude daily maid service and use of all hotel facilities.
Rentals are handled through the hotel. Other villa com-
plexes are not a part of hotels but have many of the same
amenities. Units at these complexes are handled by rental
agents.
