Set on a hill overlooking St. Thomas Harbor on the Caribbean coast, this relaxed, colorful hotel is 16 minutes' walk from Blackbeard's Castle and 2 km from Fort Christian.

Mountain Top

The overlook is located atop St. Peter Mountain–the island’s highest point–and has a vista of Magens Bay that rivals Drake’s Seat’s due to the higher elevation, which allows for a view of even more surrounding islands, including the British Virgin Islands. Visitors will find much more than just a great view at Mountain Top, however. The attraction is a good place to purchase souvenirs, clothes, and other gift items. Mountain Top is also famous for its signature drink, the banana daiquiri, which is made with a variety of flavors of local Cruzan Rum.

Drake's Seat

St. Thomas is mountainous and offers beautiful views. The most popular lookouts are Drakes Seat and Skyline Drive Overlook. Drake’s Seat was built in 1933 by Arthur Fairchild. In those days navigating the hills of St. Thomas involved traveling by horse or foot. He thought the spot where he put Drake’s Seat was a nice place for a rest. You too can take a break and enjoy the fabulous view from the famous seat!

Magens Bay

Magens Bay Beach is known to be one of the top beaches to visit in the world, making it #6 for 2019. You will not be disappointed! Located on the North (Atlantic) side of the island, Magens Bay (Estate Zufriedenheit) features a well-protected white sand beach stretching for nearly three quarters of a mile. It is one of the most popular tourist destinations on the island, as well as a gathering place for locals. The beach sits at the head of a deep bay, the arms of which are Peterborg peninsula to the east and Tropaco Point to the west. The bay's northwest exposure means its waters are usually calm, although storms in the North Atlantic can occasionally generate large waves in the winter months. The sandy bottom means snorkeling is of limited interest, although turtles, conch, tarpon and other fish are commonly spotted. After the Scenic Tour of sightseeing at Mountain Top, Drakes Seat and the Skyline Lookout, you will visit Magens Bay Beach or any beach on island of choice. We will then pick you up from the beach at your preferred time and get you back to your final destination on time. Beach time can vary, just let your driver know. Admissions are not included in tour price. Magens Bay beach entrance fees are $5 per adult and kids under 12 are free.

Blackbeard’s Castle

We will make a stop at Blackbeard's Castle which is one of five National Historic Landmarks in the U.S. Virgin Islands. It is located in the city of Charlotte Amalie, on the island of St. Thomas. Built in 1679 by the Danes as a watchtower to protect the harbor as well as Fort Christian. Blackbeard's Castle was originally called Skytsborg (meaning protection castle). It is located at the highest point on Government Hill. Skytsborg served as a very effective vantage point for Danish soldiers to spot enemy ships. Fort Christian is at sea level, thus making it ideal for thwarting attackers with cannon fire; however, the fort itself did not provide an ideal view of incoming ships entering the harbor.
