Travelers seeking all-inclusive resorts often prioritize value and convenience, but sacrificing local charm for a one-size-fits-all package means missing out on the vibrant local culture and boutique luxury that define an unforgettable Caribbean getaway. The Pink Palm Hotel in downtown St. Thomas offers a unique and intimate experience that outshines all-inclusive resorts by combining charming amenities, authentic local flavor, modern tropical design, and flexible exploration.
Unique Decor
The Pink Palm Hotel’s vibrant boutique decor blends Art Deco elegance with tropical flair, featuring playful pinks, lush greens, and unique touches like rattan swings and terrazzo flooring. Each room is thoughtfully designed to showcase stunning views of Charlotte Amalie’s harbor or lush gardens, creating an inviting and memorable atmosphere. This distinctive style helped earn our property recognition as one of the 22 best hotels in the world by National Geographic Traveler magazine.
Our contemporary Caribbean style blends vibrant color palettes and chic furnishings with lush, curated gardens, creating an intimate atmosphere that chain resorts often lack.
Personalized & Unique Activities

Prime Downtown Location and Local Exploration
Nestled in the historic heart of St Thomas, our guests are steps away from duty-free shopping, local eateries, art galleries, and ferry terminals to nearby islands – experiences all-inclusive guests miss when confined to resort grounds. You’ll love exploring the local, authentic Caribbean cuisine and culture, from sampling fresh seafood at waterfront cafés to discovering hidden beach bars.
Exclusive On-Property Experiences
Pool Parties and Social Events
Lounge by the outdoor pool or hot tub set high on the hillside overlooking the harbor, then join lively pool-deck gatherings featuring signature cocktails and live DJs – an energizing alternative to standard pool bars found at larger resorts. Our Resort Day Pass is especially popular with island travelers seeking a trendy social experience with an upscale vibe.
Romantic Experiences for Couples
Awarded Best USVI Hotel for Couples by Forbes, our hotel offers bespoke romance packages – including in-room champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries, private sunset deck ceremonies, and couples’ massages overlooking the bay – that far exceed standard spa and drink packages at many all-inclusive properties.
Flexibility Over Fixed Menus
All-inclusive resorts bundle meals and drinks into one rate but limit guests to on-site restaurants and set menus. At The Pink Palm, dining is entirely à la carte: enjoy gourmet breakfasts in bed, candlelit dinners at the hotel’s in-house bar-restaurant, or venture out to sample Charlotte Amalie’s diverse culinary scene, from street-side roti shops to upscale farm-to-table bistros.
Pet-Friendly Luxury
Unlike most adults-only or all-inclusive properties, The Pink Palm welcomes well-behaved dogs under 50 pounds in designated rooms – complete with pet-friendly amenities – so you never have to choose between a luxury escape and traveling with your canine companion. And if you’re lucky, you may just get to meet Diego, the property owners’ pup.
Authentic Island Immersion
All-inclusive resorts say they offer “everything included”, but typically at the expense of genuine island engagement. The Pink Palm celebrates local artistry, music, and community – hosting weekly steel-pan performances, collaborating with nearby mixologists on custom cocktail menus, and offering guided walking tours of historic Charlotte Amalie.
Choosing The Pink Palm Hotel means trading the homogenized predictability of an all-inclusive stay for a vibrant, tailored Caribbean escape that reflects your unique interests. With boutique design, downtown access, exclusive experiences, and a pet-friendly adults-only setting, The Pink Palm exceeds all-inclusive expectations – delivering luxury that’s as unique as the island itself.
