"We had a lovely stay! You have to be ready for somewhat rugged conditions as it's open air - think "glamping" - in the treehouse accommodations and so you are with the elements and animals somewhat. (We had a cute frog in our shower!) But we loved it! Would definitely stay again as we felt away from it all and able to fully relax. "
"Overall great experience - super nice property, ocean view, short walk to the beach, 2 pools. Our only complaint was that our room (The Hansen, a king suite room) was right next to the staff laundry room. The door was always open and we’d have to be careful opening our door, and staff would often be talking and hanging out right outside our door. Another thing was even during slow season (mid-August) we had a scare one night where parking was full, but luckily after driving around town for 5 mins someone had just left. So the parking isn’t really “reserved” it’s shared with day pass/restaurant guests as well. "
"Highly recommend Gallows Point! Great location to Cruz Bay and rooms had everything we needed and bed was very comfortable. Very impressed with the daily cleaning service as well. Pool area is beautiful with stunning views! "
"My wife and I enjoyed the stay, our room, the staff and would be happy to stay there again. Parking is limited and accessibility is for able bodied people. We typically walked to restaurants.
Our bed was comfortable, the AC unit kept the room comfortable.
The breakfast was breads, cereals, coffee, milk, juice.
The Inn does a pretty good job of taking care of the place, they just don't have the ability to take care of places in the neighborhood, which are a bit run-down. It is an island community, so it is a relaxed environment."
"Location, location, location. We were able to stay at this beautiful village hotel for our entire week and didn't find it necessary to have a personal car to eat, relax, shop, meet excursion watercraft or entertain ourselves. We did hop on a taxi for five of the days to visit a different amazingly gorgeous bay/beach each day. Everything else was within walking distance and/or within the village facilities. This trip was for an anniversary celebration and the hotel was a comfortable respite and clean sanctuary with the greatest beach view we've ever seen in our travels. The owners have carved out a beautiful natural spot in the midst of the abundant flora and fauna on that amazing piece of Earth."
"Great location. Very clean. Nice staff. My only suggestion would be to call ahead and see if the restaurant is open. It was closed while we were there for dinner and we had checked out the menu before we arrived and we’re looking forward to eating there. "
"Check-in and check-out were super simple. Office staff communicates by text upon flight arrival and drops a pin for easy navigation. St John roads are an adventure all by themself, so the pin really helps.
We stayed in Guave and the view was stunning. From the spacious balcony you can see all of BVI as well Coral Bay and the east end of St. John.
The unit is very nicely decorated and in good shape. The spacious kitchen has a surprising number of appliances, gadgets and even some common spices and condiments which really nice.
The grounds are well kept as in the awesome infinity pool, though the property is a fairly steep hill and there are 54 steps between the upper units and the pool, and a few dozen more down to the rarely staffed office. The ladies are quick to respond to texts or calls though.
There is a market just down the (very steep) hill, but the 20 minute drive into Cruz bay is well worth it (better still, stop by their market before heading to the mountain top). Their markets are better stocked and about 30% cheaper.
If you want a peaceful retreat away from crowded family resort life and the best view on the island, Calichi is the place to be."
