In January, 2009, I spent nine nights at this condo located at the Elysian Resort.
For those who are unfamiliar with St. Thomas, the Elysian is on the East End of the island. This particular portion of the island is also home to the Ritz Carlton resort and tends to be both quiet and safe. The Elysian has a nice gym (keep in mind, however, it costs $40/wk to use) and also an amazing pool (which, in my opinion, is one of the best on the island).
If you want to be near the ferries to the island of St. John and restaurants on the East End, this is an ideal location. While it is a bit of a drive into Charlotte Amalie, it only takes around 20 to 35 minutes.
As for the unit itself, I think the owner has done a good job of providing a comfortable place to stay at an affordable price. The room is fairly spacious, well-stocked with beach towels, and has a beautiful view of the beach and pool. The room itself is fairly standard: a four post king bed; cable TV; fairly spacious mini fridge; coffee maker; microwave; hairdryer; iron, etc. I have stayed at the Wyndham, Best Western, and a Mahogany Run condo. This unit is equal to, or better than, those rooms. However, if you are expecting Ritz or Marriott standards, this is not as fancy as those places.
Overall, I would highly recommend this unit to a couple or a single person traveling to the islands.
