Our first trip to St Thomas and this property exceeded our expectations. Everything about the property was exceptional. First, the unit…located in the Iris building which is the tallest of the Residences buildings. The unit is on the first floor and very convenient to accessing all the amenities of The Ritz resort. It is directly behind the Coconut Cove restaurant with spectacular view from 3 balconies (each bedroom has its own balcony with lounge chairs plus a table and chairs on the balcony outside the living room).
The unit has marble floors and nicely furnished, 2 spacious bathrooms each with a stall shower and separate tub and double sinks. There is also a powder room! Galley kitchen with microwave, oven, stove, dishwasher and full size fridge. Drip coffee maker. What I didn’t expect was everything that is provided (dishwasher tabs, Tide/dryer sheets, coffee, creamers, sweeteners, dish soap and bath stuff). There are dishes, pots, pans, glasses, etc plus a myriad of small appliances you can request for free (waffle iron, crock pot, etc) and all kinds of cooking spices. The resort even has complimentary sunscreen (15 30 50 SPF) and aloe cream for when we got sunburn. There are outdoor grills and we did grill steaks one night. The Ritz pools, bars and beaches were top notch. The staff were friendly and made you feel at home. I cannot say enough amazing things about this property.
The location was also great. Very close to Red Hook & we took the ferry to St. John.
