Gallows Point Resort

We must have done a poor research job in advance, because we were blown away by this place upon actually stepping foot in it: These are suites, small villas with a kitchen, living room, patio, and a huge bathroom. Comfort is jacked up to the max, and it seems like every unit has some sort of killer water view. Each place is super clean, the sleep is great, the AC is modern, and aesthetic is gorgeous, and the staff is helpful and friendly. The only downside is no room service, but other than that, choose here to stay.

My husband and I were at Gallows point last month for our honeymoon and absolutely loved every second of our stay! Staff was extremely attentive, the maids did a great job! Even if we left the room for one hour for breakfast we would return to a clean, fully stocked villa. The location is prime, everything is walkable which is fantastic. I would say the only downside is how rocky the grounds are so it isn’t exactly «beach able». We will be back– hopefully sooner than later!!!

We stayed in unit 15c, which is right by the waters edge and it also offers a spectacular view of the pool. (which is really cool at night, when it’s lit up) The staff was so nice and accommodating! There is daily maid service, an on-​site restaurant, snorkeling, and all rooms have A/​C and a full kitchen. You are just minutes from all the shopping and restaurants that Cruz Bay has to offer. It’s breathtakingly beautiful!!!

What a spot! Best ever relax and listen to the water. Walk 50 yards to the best snorkeling. This is the best resort on St John

Awesome.
Beautiful rooms, breath-​taking views and superb location. The pool & beach aren’t big, but rather fill a few free hrs between excursions well. The restaurant, too, was a mellow respite from the busier (if still fairly chill) Cruz Bay. But they do all the little things well — room service, convenience store, lend beach chairs /​towels, concierge, etc.

I am right now sitting in a gallows point harbor side unit to the tune of about $ 600 a night… it is about 8 pm… And, like every night I have been here, I have to endure THE LOUD LOUD PA BLASTED MUSIC FROM THE BARS ON CRUZ BAY. $ 600 a night to be in a college dorm… It is abject bullshit to pay that kind of heat to be basically in a dorm w ridiculous noise from bars. If you are an owner reading this, not only should u be ashamed, I hope it scares the piss out of u to know people won’t blindly fork over TONS of cash for this shit… $ 600 A night to not even hear the TV in unit due to racket from bars!!¡! Save your money,… $ 600 a night for this ??? BULLSHIT¡!!¡ SAVE UR MONEY… THIS IS HORSESHIT

Had an amazing stay here. EVERYTHING was perfect. The views were amazing, the room spacious, clean, and cozy. The kitchen was stocked and had new appliances (food shopping in STT for the win). The bathroom was gorgeous with a massive shower. The living room was open and comfortable. The pool and hot tub had great views (though really, you’re on STJ, you should be out at a beach somewhere). Oh and the topper was that it was a quick and easy walk into Cruz Bay for dinner at night, no drive required. All in all, this place trumps the Westin in every way and we are SO staying here again. Well worth the cost.

You really couldn’t ask for a better location in Cruz Bay than Gallow’s Point Resort! You’re a 5 minute walk from everything in town, and still right on the water. The convenience of having a fully stocked kitchen was great, and the condo was spacious and up to date! The grounds were gorgeous and well maintained. We even tried the on site restaurant, ZoZo’s, and it was great as well! (although a bit pricey) If you book here, let it be known that Units 1 – 8 are on the beach, while the rest face the bay.

We stayed here on our honeymoon in the beginning of October 2013.
Pros:
–beautiful condo
–stunning views
–nice snorkeling right outside the resort
–the gifts and gourmet shop on property that will book excursions for you
–friendly staff
–proximity to downtown Cruz Bay and the beach bars
–cute kittens running around on property
Cons:
–we went in the off season which we loved for many reasons, however the restaurant Zozo’s was closed as they are moving to Caneel Bay. So unfortunately there was no restaurant or bar on property. Not such a big deal as we spent most of our time at the beach bars on the harbor.
–laundry facilities — need new machines :)
–if you book a harbor view room (which we loved!) be aware that the ferry is very loud and runs late, plus the beach bars are open late and on the weekends loud music playing. But its really all part of the experience!
Thanks for a great experience!

We stayed here last fourth of July. I’m just now getting around to finally reviewing. I’m lazy, I know.
This place is AMAZING! Best hotel on the island.
Had the hotel taxi waiting for us when we got off ferry. Driver was very nice, even hauled our luggage to our suite. We stayed in the ocean view upper. Most Gorgeous views ever. So neat to watch the iguanas eating in the trees from our balcony.
Room was great, Downstairs had a kitchen so you can make breakfast one morning if you want, which is what we did. Bought some breakfast stuff at the little shop on site. You can buy eggs by the each which is super convenient. Upstairs had a gorgeous view of the ocean as well.
You can snorkel right off of the resort. So pretty. Staff was always nice and accommodating. We watched fireworks from the picnic area, literally could feel them in your face. Was A-​Mazing! Restaurant that is located upstairs from the office was wonderful.
The hotel isn’t too far from the downtown area either. Just a walk down the hill and around a bend. We will definitely stay there again!

As the ferry was pulling into Cruz Bay, we were really impressed to see Gallows Point taxi waiting for our arrival. The representative from the resort was very nice and helpful. He loaded our luggage into the ‘open air’ taxi and we were on our way to the resort. After our 3 minute taxi ride, we were greeted by other resort reps and also given a very delicious Rum Punch cocktail, of course made with the Caribbeans’ famous Cruzan Rum. Check-​in took all about 2 minutes and we were off to our room. We reserved an ‘Upper Harbor View’ room (Unit 13C) and it was fantastic! Full size kitchen, dining area, awesome balcony with gorgeous harbor views, living area, 2 TVs with satellite, upstairs loft bedroom with king size bed and two bathrooms. Maid service was awesome and cleaned our villa everyday no matter what time we left the premises. The grounds are beautifully groomed and you’ll find your occasional lizard and cat from time to time. The pool was nice, but barely ever used it! There was great snorkeling just off the point, some of the best that we had that weekend!
The little general store, Every Ting, was great. The staff was very helpful with all of our needs! They do just about everything (now I know where they get the name) you would ever need on St. John, from restaurant reservations to gear rental. Every Ting is truly an asset to this resort!
The restaurant on site, Zozo’s, was excellent. The service was amazing and the food was very flavorful. We both had the Caribbean Lobster entrée and would definitely order it again! There are also other restaurants within walking distances that make the resort very convenient. We had a rental Jeep, but usually walked to the Cruz Bay village.
All in all, this was an amazing five-​day vacation! We would definitely come back again, and refer Gallows Point to all of our family and friends! Thank you for an incredible time!

We have always remarked on this resort as the ferry approaches St. John from St. Thomas. We decided to give it a try for the two of us on this visit and were very happy with the overall experience. The layout of the unit was comfortable, the grounds nicely landscaped and well maintained, the location on the island convenient and the staff friendly and accommodating. There is surprisingly good snorkeling to the north of the dock. ZoZo’s is right upstairs and most of the great dining options on St. John are within walking distance. Our only suggestion, given the costs of staying at Gallow’s Point, would be more comfortable sofas/​chairs in the main living area and better TVs/​electronics, particularly given how (relatively) inexpensive these items have become of late. (Since I’m being picky, I would have preferred the Starbucks over the generic coffee throughout the week). Gallow’s Point is an excellent option for staying in Cruz Bay on St. John.

Charming resort right next to Cruz Bay in St. John. The staff here was very friendly and made sure our stay was top notch. The grounds were clean with all sorts of animals roaming. A nice a little beach area and snorkel platform.
I definitely would recommend staying here if you check out St. John.

This is as good as it gets. Located next to Cruz Bay on St. John’s, in the US Virgin Islands, this resort is utterly quiet, utterly gorgeous, and located a short walk from some of the most rewarding morning, afternoon, evening, and night life on the planet.
There is something charmingly rustic and laid back about all the Virgin Islands. Island time, charming old buildings, and easy going people all over the place.
Gallows Point is a haven where you can fully enjoy all the beauty of the island life and culture in a setting of absolute luxury. Your hot water will work. The power will never go out. The landscaping and flora are, themselves, a feature attraction — much of the lush plantlife inside the resort is imported and carefully documented.
The pool faces the tip of the point, where you can sit in a hot tub with a (plastic, please) glass of wine and watch the sailboats pass beneath the sunset.
The rooms are actually condos. People buy them and, when they are not on the Island, let the Gallows Point association run the empties as hotel rooms. This way, everybody wins. Especially you!
