It is not really fair to rate this at all. Hurricane Irma had damaged it and it was closed when we climbed the "99 steps" and beyond. Even so the views were amazing as was the glimpses of the tower that dates to the 1600s. It appears the site is still closed, I"m sure due to the Hurricanes of 2018. I hope the tower is not too damaged and that they can open once again.

Went here as part of a tour excursion on a cruise. Interesting. Not sure how tied to pirates the area is but the tower is very cool to climb and the they was great! All the way through the tour the guides were very knowledgeable about the buildings and their. History. They have a pool there that you can use if you want to.

Really loved view from the top of the castle and the backstory on Black Beard and the materials the castle is made out of. Loved the self-guided tours through the different houses and the Rum Tasting Tour is excellent. 70 different types of rum you can try, some available in the U.S. some limited to the Virgin Islands some available only in surrounding like Trinidad and Tobago, and Barbados. I myself was able to get through 32 rums before the liquor took over, you can really taste and feel the difference between the Sweet stuff and the very well aged rum. I will definitely make sure this tour is on my list the next time I come to St. Thomas.

Probably one of the best things you can visit while you're here. $15 to get into the lot, and the panorama you can get at the top of the tower is worth it. The price also includes access to the historical buildings on the west side of 99-steps as well, which they don't tell you. The only room for improvement they have would just be increasing the quality of the guided tours, and of course letting you know what everything you're paying for includes.

Best attraction in the island! $10 per adult and children free! They even have free wifi. The property has several houses and you will need to walk a lot of stairs, but if you're not going back up, all you need to do is let gravity do the work (we had a rental car we needed to go back to, so I felt the anger of the "99 steps"🙂). The view at the top of the tower is beautiful and a must-see (see pic attached). Even though it is a self-guided tour, each stop included a friendly employee that explained part of the history of what we were seeing. There's the tower, a few houses, and three pools you can even use! There's also some gardens and a statue of the "Three Queens of the Virgin Islands" (you'll need to visit to know the full story!) Definitely got our money's worth and would go every time I'd go back again!

Fun tour, definitely great for kids. Staff were the perfect blend of fun and informative. Enough information to be interesting without boring younger audiences.

Great views, you can soak in the pools and have a drink. We did the combo tour and got to taste 25+ types of rums...the pool was perfect to sober up. Lots of history as well!

Joanna White is a local artist with some amazing prints and paintings.

Been hear many times ..it's a must see

Certainly worth the visit to see the 2nd oldest Synagogue in the hemisphere. Sand floors are amazing. Only about 2 blocks off the beat and path of the main shops. Free to go in and take photos. Even if you not Jewish it's worth the trip if you appreciate such things.

One of the oldest synagogues in the Western Hemisphere. Definitely worth a visit. There is no admission fee, but they do accept donations.

Pretty awesome place. The second oldest Synagogue in the western hemisphere! The Synagogue floor is covered with sand. You'd think it's because the of the tropical location but actually it's just to make the service quite. The guide your is amazing. They are open for tourists again since the October 2020. Must see.

Pretty cool synagogue. We had a private tour that lasted about 20 minutes. It was free and informative. Worth the quick trip to see it.

Step back in time, not only when the chosen people were being persecuted by the nazies, but even further back as a surging nation gathering to worship the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

What a beautiful synagogue!! It was worth the trip up the steep hill. We went in because we were hot and tired and this was one of the few places on our self-guided historic walking tour that allowed you to go in. Inside we found a beautiful facility filled with so much history. There's a museum with lots of information and photos that tell the synagogue's story. The rabbi was there and actually greeted us and answered questions. The sand floor and why it has a sand floor was fascinating information. We stayed for quite awhile to take it all in.

I talked to the warden in my visit right after it opened at 9:30 am (on Dec. 27, 2023). The formal tour requires a minimum of 4 when there was only me. So, I was not really given a formal tour though the nice warden talked with me quite a bit on and off. But it seemed to me that he was worried about the security of the Congregation, presumably due to what had happened in Israel and Gaza. He told me quite a few things. When I asked him whether the sand on the floor was really symbolic for the Exodus of Egypt, he said that there might be 5 stories which are all true, including the fact that the sand wouldn't create much noise when the fishermen stepped in with their heavy boots 😀

Supporting and Selling all types of Fruits Plants Coconut Food etc. Come down on Saturday early. I like the Peas Soup Delicious.

Nice selection of local produce and fresh fish. Very nice people!

This market only open on a Saturday. I bought some local dishes and provisions. It has what you want there. Also they have fresh fish selling. We bought some and freezed it and bought it back to the States

A posh market in very cute small bylanes very well maintained and beautiful. Loved wandering around and finding hidden restaurants.

Had a lot of fun at the event that was hosted there.

What an amazing historical site. If you live here or are just visiting, head down to the market on Saturday morning. Feel free to ask the local vendors about their locally grown items. They are proud of their products and are happy to talk to you about their items. Try a new fruit or veggie. You won't regret the visit. Also, cash only.

I've always through that this market square was a great deal for fresh produce and especially fish. You have go early though in order to get any seafood (like the crack of dawn) to get the best pick of what they have. And just like vendors plaza if you want to try to negotiate for what you want they are open to that as well. This is at the end of the main shopping to be had on Main Street and if you are looking for a farmers market this is one of the closest things that you will find in town that resembles that. There are a few sketchy roads further past this market square which is why this place got one star less.
