Top 10 St. Thomas Island Resorts: Frenchman's Reef and Morning Star Marriott Beach Resort

Palm fronds graze the light pink walls as the sun reflects off the white roof and illuminates the golden beach sand and clear turquoise waters. You keep closing and opening your eyes to make sure it’s not a mirage. But it’s true – you have arrived at our No. 1 St. Thomas Island resort!

Frenchman’s Reef and Morning Star Marriott Beach Resort is situated on the southern tip of St. Thomas and overlooks the bustling Charlotte Amalie Harbor. With 479 hotel rooms, Frenchman’s Reef is the largest Caribbean vacation resort in the U.S. Virgin Islands. That doesn’t mean you’ll get lost in the crowd, though. Frenchman’s Reef is dedicated to simultaneously providing individualized service and ample privacy. While sipping your morning coffee, looking out over the Caribbean Sea – and read your newspaper that was delivered to your room that morning.

After a day waterskiing, snorkeling or SCUBA diving, return to a room that mirrors the aquatic landscape outside. Tropical flowers against teal accent the sunny yellow walls. Or, take a break from the beach scene and relax in a room with colorfully patterned carpet, classic mahogany doors that lead to the open-air terrace and a plush red couch.
