Hi everyone,
I need a place for 1 night in St.Thomas or St. John 6/20 for 2 adults and 3 kids. The problem I'm having is most hotel have a limit of 4 per room. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Funny,that seemed to be a problem for us to!Maho Camps and Cinnamon Bay Camps would not allow my family of 5 to stay there. {In one cottage.}Samuel Cottages welcomed us with open arms,but they are just a few that will.Samuel Cottages is around $100.00 a night-not too bad!Parafins...

Thanks Tom, I was trying to figure out which one could fit in the luggage.
Parafin-Thanks,where is Samuel cottages and do they rent for just one night?

Secret Harbour in STT has two bedroom suites and will take five. It's very nice and right on the beach.

Hey Traveler - was wondering where you've been! Can't really recommend anything, I looked at Mafolie on STT because when we were there for dinner it looked like a nice play to stay, but you'd have to get 2 rooms...still not a bad price. Good luck!

I've had this same problem for years.

The Marriott Frenchman's Reef is a big hotel and they don't ask how many people are staying in the room. Think this works fine as long as you don't mind being a little crowded.

Gallows Point allows 5 in a room but you do have to pay for each person.

Thanks for all the suggestions but we booked the "Best Western Emerald Beach". The Website states a max of 4 per room but gives you an option of a rollaway, so I call the 1800 number and they said it is a max of 5. The price was $219 plus $25 for the rollaway which is much cheaper than the $500 for Secret Harbour and the kids get to go to the beach and pool as soon as we grab our luggage.

Martini girl- How have you been? I've been at Soccer games, baseball games, cheerleading competions, Tennis and speed camp for football for my 3 kids plus working extra to pay for all the St. John trips. I'll be around alittle more now that it's starting to slow down and my trip is getting closer.

Sorry I didn't reply sooner.Samuel cottages is just up the street from the old Texaco station.You can walk to it from the ferry dock{I think it's about a block}They may let you rent for one night if there's a opening-they have 3 cottages.Parafins

I have three inside pictures of Samuel Cottage number 3. Have stayed there a few times. Clean, but simple, but inexpensive. Drop me a note if you'd like me to send them.

Thanks parafin & steveh but when I emailed Samuel Cottages they were booked so I went with Emerald Beach.
