By: Alexander Britell - February 16, 2022

A pair of prominent hotels in St Thomas will begin welcoming guests this summer, Caribbean Journal has learned. 

One is a reconstruction of the 384-room Frenchman’s Reef Marriott Resort; the other, the new Noni Beach, a St Thomas Resort; the latter is a re-imagination of the former Morningstar Beach Resort. 

The new-look Frenchman’s Reef will have six eateries and lounges; three oceanfront pools; 72,000 square feet of event space and a 2,000-square-foot private dock.

The combined rebuild is a $300 million project, which recently restarted earlier this year.

“We look forward to welcoming you back to the new Frenchman’s Reef and Noni Beach,” Lorenz said in a statement to guests. 

The return of both resorts, located in one of St Thomas’ signature settings, will be a further boost for the US Virgin Islands, a destination that has seen sizzling tourism growth amid the pandemic.
