The Virgin Islands are an unusual set of islands surrounded by some of the best waters in the Caribbean for sailing, fishing, snorkeling, and diving. This nautical paradise is dotted with hotels of all shapes and sizes. From quaint bed-and-breakfasts located in relative seclusion, to high-capacity mega-resorts with plenty of amenities, you are sure to find something that suits your style.

Resorts

The islands are, of course, divided into two distinct groups; the British and the U.S. have each laid claim to their set of islands. This means you'll find many different accommodation styles spread across the territories. Those looking for a bit more action may wish to try St. Thomas or St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands, while those looking for a place to get away from it all might be better suited to a stay among the British Islands.

Resorts on the British islands offer high-quality accommodations nestled in beautiful secluded settings. These are perfect for couples on romantic getaways who want to step into a new world. Business travelers, however, should take special care to find out if amenities such as internet access are available at the resort or hotel they choose.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Virgin Islands offer plenty of upscale options along with some that are a little farther from the beaten path. One resort on St. Croix even offers vacationers a degree in marine ecology from the University of St. Croix. This university is non-accredited, and the degree requires a three night stay and two tours of St. Croix—an interesting way to spend a resort vacation.

Hotels, Inns, and Guesthouses

Hotels and inns are affordable and popular accommodation options that range from not-so-upscale hotels to tiny inns and quaint bed-and-breakfasts. There are plenty to choose from throughout both the British and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Even the out-of-the-way St. John has a few. But don't be caught off guard in the British Virgin Islands—not every hotel accepts credit cards as a method of payment.

Guesthouses are another unique accommodation option. But what a guesthouse looks like varies not just from country to country within the Caribbean, or from island to island among the Virgin Islands, but also from one part of town to the next. There's no real way to know what to expect when you arrive at your guesthouse unless you have seen photos or spoken to someone who has stayed there. You will always find something a little different when you arrive at a Virgin Islands guesthouse.

A Variety of Exciting Options

The Virgin Islands' diversity allows visitors to have not just the relaxing, tropical exprience they expect, but enough exciting options to keep all kinds of travelers occupied. The type of vacation you have depends upon the style of lodging you choose, and its location.

The Virgin Islands boast some beautiful all-inclusive resorts, which may suit your style better than the traditional lodgings on this list. Resorts like these are often big mega-complexes that have the potential to offer you all the amenities of a traditional luxury suite, for a one-time package-deal price.

Guests who travel with their children find the Virgin Islands to be an ideal destination for their family vacations. Many resorts across all islands have family-oriented amenities that will keep your kids happy, and other conveniences like on-site and nearby dining that make bringing the whole family a breeze.
