We were looking for a hotel for one night after we got off our cruise ship in St. Thomas. Finding the Green Iguana on the internet turned out to be serendipity. It was perfect! Cute, quaint, quiet and all the amenities you could ask for....and a view of the harbor that was spectacular.
The location was perfect...close to the famous "99 steps" which lead you easily to the downtown mecca of shops and restaurants.
The best thing about the Green Iguana, though, were our hosts Gwen and John. The night we stayed we were the only guests there so after sitting with Gwen and John in their comfy place talking, we ended up going to a local spot for dinner with John. The Green House is frequented by locals and was the ideal spot to soak up the real flavor of Charlotte Amalie.
I only wish that we'd had more time to sit on our balcony and absorb the view below.
Highly recommend the Green Iguana. Thanks, Gwen and John for your hospitality.

Room tip: We loved H2...Gwen said it was her favorite.

My husband and I were in St. Thomas on business with a fairly tight agenda. We picked the Green Iguana because it had been recommended by the company we were dealing with. I was somewhat apprehensive because the price made me question the quality of the room, service and location. Should not have worried -- the property is a short walk from downtown, the view was GORGEOUS and the facilities were that quirky but comfortable boutique style we look for in a hotel.

Since we were that anomaly -- people in the islands for business -- timing was critical for us. When we first arrived, John helped us meet our first appointment without having to wait for a bus or taxi and Gwen handled scheduling our taxis to and from the airport (we flew to Puerto Rico one day).

When we finished our business and had a day to just enjoy, Gwen and John gave advice on where to eat, what to see and just generally how to make the most of our one day in paradise. Overall, they went out of their way to make this a wonderful interlude in addition to a very successful business venture.

The only negative (and this is a slight one), was that there are a LOT of roosters and dogs in the town below us. Turning on the air conditioner just before going to sleep and shutting the windows (which we wanted to do anyway as it was a little hot for us), took care of the occasional crow and/or bark.

We were on our way to a week of sailing in the BVIs and spent the night at the Green Iguana in Charlotte Amalie. It was a very clean and pleasant room and was well supplied with everything we could need including TV, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, dishes, iron, hair dryer, toilettries and an abundance of towels. John and Gwen were very friendly and helpful. There was a beautiful view of the harbor from our balcony and we got to see the iguana in the tree right in front of our room the next morning. The rooms in the other section of the hotel might have had an even better view. We walked down the 99 steps to meet friends downtown and then back up again after dinner. It felt like a very safe neighborhood.

Room tip: We had room H1 which was very nice but part of our view was blocked by the other section of the hotel so I'm thinking those rooms might have a better view. I will try to remember to come back and add some photos.

We are happy you had "the iguana" as part of your morning view! He CAN be shy from time to time! While all our rooms have the same great view, some angles are better than others! Next trip, try Guest Room H2! The view is breathtaking!

You may think what in the world have I done upon getting to the hotel but that is all of St. Thomas (left side of road and crowd...yikes). The Green Iguana is in a great location, close to the "99 steps" walking distance to downtown and beside the Blackbeard's Castle which the tour there was great, you get a tour discount by staying at Green Iguana. Lovely atmosphere. Great people John & Gwen go above and beyond and clean rooms. We stayed in room A2 overlooking the beautiful waters and islands and above was the peak of the mountains. Some of the best hosts we have stayed with thank you John & Gwen!!! We don't want to go back home to VA....we want vacation all the time.

Room tip: A2 was great! Plus you get a kitchen very helpful for just leftovers, cooking, or need a snack at night.

We went to St. Thomas for our honeymoon and we stayed at The Green Iguana Hotel. My husband and I had a wonderful time and we loved our room (A-2). Located in Charlotte Amalie within walking distance of shops and main part of town. We had a beautiful view from our balcony. Very clean and comfortable. Managers John and Gwen are great and very helpful. We would stay here again and recommend them to everyone.
