Mariendal Vacation Packages

the resort was pretty nice but they don't provide anything you need help with. If you need anything, you either have to bring it or they will charge you for the smallest things. they wouldn't even give regular water without having to pay for a bottle or going to the bar by the pool. the staff are pretty nice. this resort is also very expensive for little things. all the money you pay for the things on the resort, you might as well pay for an all inclusive and be more relaxed there. my room balcony door was broken and didn't lock and i also didn't get the room i initially paid for. overall, if you're younger and want to have fun, i don't recommend this resort. if you're looking for just a quiet setting with nothing to do, then this resort would probably be a better option.

Not everything was operational in the apt. Lights/fans etc. but was an awesome place to stay.

Ocean view is misleading property is out of the way on top of a hill.Shuttle and taxis do not want the fare.Sole staff member was fantastic.Rooms are outdated 1960’s .

air conditioning was terrible

This was our first trip to St. Thomas so we chose a middle level place to act as a base to go exploring. It seems to be a dependable, middle of the road type accommodations. Clean and some amenities. The staff were either excellent or completely awful. We had the most issues when we attempted to use the restaurant on the premises. Service was non-existent, with people often getting up and leaving because no one would ever emerge to take their orders. Once you got the food you likely wouldn’t see a server again. I had to go hunting for my check on two occasions. On three occasions our bill had food that was not for our table and they had to adjust the bill. We also saw this happen with the pool bar. At initial check-in I was told we still owed for our stay. Luckily, I had my receipt for the full payment at the time of booking. It took some time but they did sort it out. The beach was closed due to the seaweed bloom, which is out of their control. They offered shuttles to other beaches but often there were more people waiting for the shuttles than seats available. While there weren’t major issues, it was solid but definitely not luxury or super convenient.
