BLUEBEARD'S CASTLE- The untold story
For years and years, Bluebeard's Castle was the jewel of St. Thomas. Beautiful views. Magnificent location. Exciting nightlife. Activities galore. Then something happened.............the story is too long to place here but to sum it up in a few short words- the resort was left to fend for itself. Timeshare owners were betrayed by those they had trusted with their maintenance fees. It ultimately led to an ugly fight and a standoff.
In the end, the resort suffered. It suffered from poor reviews. It suffered due to lack of maintenance. It suffered due to many factors. The days of glory seemed to be far removed........
Fortunately, through its dedicated volunteer Boards, lawsuits were settled and now the rebuilding has started. A rebirth of the once, great resort is underway. Don't believe it? Check out the weekly reports posted on this site. If that is not enough for you, please go to the amenities page or resort pictures page to see pictures of the refurbished rooms.
It will take the resort years to change the viewpoint that exists out there in internet land. Many reviews are not kind and rightfully so. These people, be it timeshare owners who traded into the resort or one time island visitors, did not understand the background and the dynamics that led to the condition of the resort thus they cannot be blamed. That will change and is changing. WHY? Because any Bluebeard's Castle timeshare owner knows that this resort is a second home. A place where you meet with friends and make new ones. A place to relax and watch a cruise ship sail away into the sunset. Or to watch the cars drive around downtown. A place to visit great beaches and still be on US territories. A location that is a direct flight or short connecting flight from places like Boston, New York, Chicago, and other frozen east coast and midwest towns.
Bluebeard's Castle is back and will continue to become the jewel of the island once again. Not an owner? That is too bad because owners at Bluebeard's Castle know where it is at and it is right here!
