We had a wonderful "babymoon" stay at the Buoy House property and enjoyed the various dining options available on-site and from the sister property adjacent (Westin). The service team of the Buoy House was clearly dedicated to customer needs and comfort. We were impressed by and very comfortable with our room, and satisfied with the overall value. My wife and I would return to the Buoy House with our soon-to-be family another time, as we were encouraged by its boutique and tranquil atmosphere while still being family friendly.

Awesome time at the Buoy Haus. Rooms were clean, beach and amenities were top tier. Restaurants were convenient and food was good, especially breakfast at Salt Shack. Pool was the highlight, Wendy and his crew are the best in the business. Cannot say enough good things, hope to be back soon.

Bouy Haus is a fantastic resort for a quiet vacation away from the crowds. It has its own private beach and infinity pool, and non-motorized water activities. The rooms are nicely appointed and maintained well. We stayed in the ocean front room in first floor which was just a few steps from the beach. The two restaurants on site have good offering but limited vegetarian or vegan options. The beach front location more than make up for the average service which is still above par by island standards. Neighboring Westin has good food options. Very happy with the stay overall.

A MUST EXPERIENCE!!! To truly believe it!
The staff at Bouy Haus is the absolute best! They go above and beyond to assure your stay is the absolute best! I hope I’m spelling their names correctly, Kalique, Mica, Christina and all the other staff are superb. No matter the time, day or moment a pleasant smile and hello is the least you will receive while passing any of the by. I didn’t want to leave…

My husband and I were seeking a quick getaway for the 4th of July weekend, and the Buoy Haus Resort in St. Thomas was exactly what we needed. This lovely resort seamlessly combines luxury with a laid-back atmosphere. Every aspect of Buoy Haus exudes relaxation, from the stunning ocean views to the cozy yet stylish rooms. The pool and beach bar are like paradise. The staff is exceptional, always making jokes or offering a delightful drink. The last time we visited was 17 years ago when the hotel was called the Morningside Beach Resort, and what a fantastic renovation it is. The front desk was attentive; when I mentioned where our room was 17 years ago, they arranged for us to stay in the exact same location in the same building. It's all about the details.

Peaceful, beautiful views, so relaxing, wonderful stuff reflection. My only small small caveat which is worth .3 stars was that there was no accommodation or customer service for military veterans for my experience. Everything else was exceptional and exceeded my expectations, especially considering rebooked the day before we flew due to change vacation plans.

This this a very modern and clean resort, which shares amenities with the adjacent Westin Resort. The views and ocean are spectacular at this resort. Everything is expensive, but was expected. Take a short trip downtown to eat affordable and feel the local vibe and get snacks at the local market. The locals; however, are not friendly, except for resort employees. Hotel staff were exceptionally nice and accommodating. Our pool attendant, Jamal went over and above for us and we know he will succeed greatly with his personality and work ethics. If you like a dark room to sleep, late don’t get ocean view. 🌙
