+1 on recommendation for Emerald Beach Resort. We tried a lot of crummy hotel options on STT before/after taking a ferry to Tortola before we found EBR. Now it’s our preferred option. Affordable, decent room, good restaurant for breakfast, beautiful beach and easy 15 minute walk to airport if you have rolling luggage. Only downside is no elevator….the buildings are 3 story, so ask for the 1st or 2nd floor if that’s a problem for you.
