US Virgin Islands
Fun, casual, family-owned Bolongo offers a full array of water sports. The rooms won’t win awards for size or decor, but who cares? You’ll be outside. 'Ocean-view' rooms are on the 2nd and 3rd floors; 'beachfront' rooms are on the 1st floor. All have sea views and private patios. The ‘value’ rooms are in a building across the street.
The location is a bit isolated; you'll need wheels to reach restaurants and attractions beyond Bolongo's beach.
