Marriott's Frenchman's Cove Reviews & Ratings

This is my family's home away from home. The resort is beautiful the condos are georgeous and each room has a view of the ocean. There is plenty to see and do on the island. Everyone on the island is friendly and welcoming. We visit two times a year. Let me know if you need any recomendations, I would be glad to help.

The most beautiful timeshare I have ever stayed at! Beds that you just sink into. Ocean view from all units. Plenty of space, well laid out. Great location!

This resort, although still under construction, is absolutely gorgeous. It sits at a perfect spot on the island. With its own private beach, as well as complete access to the other Marriott properties, it has the best of both worlds. The view of the cruise ships coming in and out of port is breath- taking! The villas are large and comfortable. Loved it!

St. Thomas is clearly the center of action for the Virgin Islands. Frenchman's Cove is located close to shopping and the island was easy for us to navigate. The resort is under construction still, but we were not bothered by it in any meaningful way. The beach at the Cove is not easily accessible for swimming because of a reef, but nice to walk along. There is talk of Marriott trying to remove the reef, but that seems unlikely to happen anytime soon. The pool and children's program were excellent.

Frenchman's Reef hotel is adjacent to the property and is a full-service hotel with all the amenities one would expect from a large Marriott (restaurants, tour desk, pools, etc.) Morningstar is a part of the property and has a great beach which is available to Cove owners/renters and is an easy walk or there is free shuttle transportation.

The villas are nicely equipped in typical Marriott fashion with an island theme. Our villa had a beautiful view of Charlotte Amalie and the harbor area and the units have balconies with tables to enjoy the view.

World-class beaches are a short drive or taxi away. Megan's Bay, the most popular, was beautiful but crowded. We found several other beaches close by that were essentially as nice and practically deserted. The snorkeling is some of the best we've seen and great snorkeling is to be had from many beaches without the need for a tour or any cost incurred.

Although the taxis are everywhere, we enjoyed the freedom of having our own vehicle. A rental car was easy to get, as long as you don't mind driving on the left side of the road. St. John's is a beautiful, quaint island which is a quick ferry away, and Tortola and Virgin Gorda are easily accessible. The shopping district is about two miles away, and is the shopping is plentiful, but crowded when the cruise ships are in.

All-in-all, a wonderful experience and it is hard to imagine someone being disappointed in any significant way with the property or the area.

Excellent resort. Friendly staff and wide variety of activities at resort. In addition, multitude of amenities at adjacent Marriott hotel and beach resort. Central and convenient access to nearby St. Johns and British Virgin Islands. Breathtaking views from large windows and balconies facing harbor and islands. Sunset directly accross from the resort for spectacular sunsets. Spacious well furnished rooms. Would recommend very strongly.

I was there in April and am very happy that I purchased a platinum 3 bedroom unit. I was dissapointed about the beach as the pictures made it look like a beach you could just run into and play with the kids. The coral reef does not make that possible. However, if you are want to snorkel right from your resort, then it is great. There is a safe opening to the left of the old dock which I heard is going to be restored. Once that is completed, you will be able to jump off the end and play on a water tramp. Just passing on what I was told by the GM. I would give 5 stars if the beach was better. Do not let that stop you from buying as you can always go next door if you want to play in the waves.

Just visited the resort and it is amazing! The fitness center with steam and sauna just opened as well as the pool grill with 3 large TVs. The rooms are spacious and well decorated. Only 2 buildings are open so the pool and beach were never crowded. In addition, the Marriott hotel nearby had excellent facilities with shuttle service from the Cove.

I really don't know what these people are saying about the beach. St. thomas was just wonderful. The facilities are excellent, the staff was just great and the list can go on. This is just a place you have to experience for yourselves. I would do it all over again!!!!:)

Beautiful location and Villa's. However there is no actual beach access(there is a Dead Coral reef blocking the beach)

The pool in nice, most ammenities ar at the Marriot Reef--next door but not accessable with out taking the hotel shuttle)

I stayed at the hotel and it was one of the greatest places I have ever stayed at. The resort development looks great and the first face looks amazing. Anyone going to this resort will have A 5 STAR Experience.

I have not visited Frenchman's Cove personally, but my best friend loves St. Thomas and says it is a fabulous vacation destination. As a Marriott Vacation Club owner, I can safely guarantee this timeshare resort is top notch. The best destination is always a timeshare.

The resort is beautiful, but we would never come back here. Everything is way overpriced. There is a lot of price gouging going on. None of the restaurants are close so unless you rent a car, you're forced to eat at the hotel restaurants. A dozen eggs is $12 at the marketplace. If you're looking to go to the Caribbean, go to Aruba. The people in Aruba are much friendlier, and there is no price gouging.
