  The St. John Inn - affordable, accomodating and a great place to stay in town!

  The St. John is one of the best places to stay on the island that you can actually afford! The accomodations were clean and comfortable, and the proximity to town was a big selling point, especially if you are travelling with children. The staff is kind, courteous, and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. Definitely will be our "go to" hotel for all our future visits!

  Perfect Island Reset at St. John Inn 🌺🍹

  After a nightmare Airbnb stay, we moved to the St. John Inn on St. John—and it completely turned our trip around. This brightly colored boutique hotel has so much charm and every perk you could ask for. We were welcomed with complimentary rum punch, which we enjoyed overlooking the ocean surrounded by vibrant pink flowers—such a perfect first impression. Our room was clean, comfortable, and inviting. The amenities really stood out: everything you’d need for the beach was included—Tommy Bahama chairs, coolers, towels, sunscreen, sun hats, and even an ice machine. It made beach days effortless. Breakfast was included, and the hosts were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, offering great recommendations for food and fun around the island. We absolutely loved staying here—and chances are, you will too.

  Not What We Expected

  We stayed at the St. John Inn for five nights in March, 2026. Bottom line: this was not the right option for us, but less discerning travelers, or those who are budget conscious, may find this a viable option. Pros: Good location, less than five minutes walk from the ferry terminal. The owners are readily available and have a wealth of information for guests. Our room was clean. A basic breakfast and an afternoon "happy hour" with rum punch are included. Free parking is available on site. Cons: The towels, furnishings and decor, were rather tired and worn. The mattress, in particular, was in need of replacement. The breakfast is basic: granola, breads, a basket of apples, coffee, instant oatmeal. No juices, no hot items. Multiple times during our stay we observed chickens (which roam free on the island) pecking their way through the coffee cups and condiments where breakfast is served which was a bit off-putting. And lastly, with taxes, our five night stay came in at just over $400 per night. While that's not expensive by STJ standards, it felt high given the cons listed above.

  Warm welcome, thoughtful amenities and comfortable rooms

  This was our second stay at the St John Inn. Before leaving today, we booked our next stay. That says it all. We very much enjoy the laid back vibe at the St John Inn and also very much appreciate the hospitality: Free parking, free use of beach chairs and coolers, rum punch every evening , comfortable rooms with ac and great conversation. The Inn is a short walk from the center of Cruz Bay and Mongoose Junction - a perfect location. Also a quick walk to coffee shops and two grocery stores. Dave and Karen - thanks for being such great hosts. See you in March.

  Not fancy but very homey

  Wonderful stay at the St John Inn. Comfortable, clean and quiet rooms with a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Not fancy but staff were super friendly and happy to help with anything you need. We rented a jeep and explored the island's beaches every day so didn't feel the need to spend extra money on a fancy hotel. Great location, easy walk to restaurants and bars. Thanks, Michael, for being such a nice host!
