General

Is Bolongo Bay an all-inclusive resort?

Yes! Bolongo Bay Beach Resort is the original all-inclusive property in the U.S. Virgin Islands and the only all-inclusive destination in St. Thomas. Unlike large corporate all-inclusive chain resorts that many people are used to, Bolongo is a smaller, more intimate and laid back all-inclusive experience. We have one open-air restaurant that serves meals a la carte, and all drinks are included as well.

Is Bolongo Bay an adults-only resort?

Bolongo is not an adults-only resort. However, during many parts of the year (namely when school is back in session) we will not have any children here. Bolongo Bay is intimate, laid back and relaxing in many of the same ways of an adults-only, but we do not want to mislead any guests seeking a specifically adults-only retreat.

How far is Bolongo Bay Beach Resort from the airport?

Our airport is called Cyril E. King Airport with code STT. It’s 7 miles and around 15/20 minutes from the airport to Bolongo Bay Beach Resort. The airport is located on the western side of St. Thomas, and Bolongo is a small neighborhood on the southern coastline. Since you have to drive through Charlotte Amalie Harbor to get to Bolongo, days with many cruise ships in will make your ride a little longer. Sit back and enjoy the views!

What is the weather like in St. Thomas?

Weather in St. Thomas and the Virgin Islands is nearly perfect, sunny year-round, with an average temperature of 82 degrees. During the hot summertime, our famous trade winds and a shady tree are the best ways to stay cool. Water temperature is usually in the high 70s to low 80s. It gets cooler the farther out you go, making the Virgin Islands a favorite place of avid scuba divers.

Where are the best restaurants in St. Thomas to eat?

We offer exceptional dining and drinking options at Bolongo Bay. Just down the beach at Bolongo, you will find Mim’s Seafood Bistro, which is an island favorite. Frenchtown is a neighborhood in Charlotte Amalie with exceptional dining options, including places like French Quarter Bistro and Oceana. Red Hook is where you’ll find some good dining, as well as a healthy amount of nightlife. Don’t forget, you can always take the ferry to St. John for happy hour or dinner. Just make sure you make the last ferry home (usually 10pm)!

Where are the best off-property beaches?

Some popular beaches you can visit in St. Thomas include Brewer’s Bay on the west end by the University of the Virgin Islands. This is the beach you’ll see when your airplane is landing in St. Thomas.

Of course, don’t forget the world-famous Magens Bay on the northside. The northside has many other amazing beaches, such as Hull Bay and Neltjeberg, but you will need a vehicle to get to them.

How many restaurants does Bolongo Bay have?

We have one restaurant, Iggies’ Oasis Restaurant & Pool Bar, which serves delicious a-la-carte meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
