RESTAURANTS AND BARS

With six restaurants and three bars there’s no shortage of food and beverage options at the resort. The Aqua Terra Oceanfront Grill takes advantage of its beautiful location and climate; it was completely redesigned in 2011 and boasts a breathtaking view of Charlotte Amalie Harbor. Serving classic American fare and offering a daily breakfast buffet, Sunday brunch and dinner, it offers choices for every palate. vistas and beaches of the expansive resort.

The Adventure Center located on the premises accommodates excursions and activities like sailing, kayaking, snorkeling and their latest ‘jetrider’ tours – enough to keep everyone, families or business groups, entertained. The Frenchman’s Reef Morningstar Resort boasts its own dock, which makes heading out on these excursions a breeze.

One of the upgrades during renovation was the redesigned gym. The state of the art equipment is fabulous but there’s not a lot of machines to go around among such a large number of guests. The good news is there are walking paths throughout the resort if you want to get your exercise outdoors. A walk down to the Morning Star Beach Resort or to the Docks will give you a great workout in a beautiful and inspiring setting.

The newly designed Lazule Sea Spa is a treat for the senses. When you enter the facility you enter a serene environment with its own pool exclusively for spa guests, plus eight treatment rooms including a Vichy Shower Room and three poolside cabanas.
