We did four days in STT before our charter at an AirBNB near Compass Point. I did not stay at Secret Harbor but did a couple of dives thru the dive shop there, Aqua Action. After diving we hung out at the beach and beach bar and it was fantastic. Chuck W.

Although I personally prefer staying in Charlotte Amalie (love taking-in the town, historic architecture, etc.), I can highly recommend Secret Harbor if you are looking for beach resort atmosphere. Nice rooms with kitchenette. Good restaurant/bar on-site. Great swimming and decent snorkeling, steps from your room.
