Pros- scrub Island is absolutely stunning. They recently renovated the entire property after the two hurricanes in September 2018. Everything is top notch Quality and they did not skimp on anything! My friends and I visited the second day after their grand reopen from the hurricane. Our experience was priceless as there might have been 10 guest on the entire Island,....so yes, it was like owning your own private island! My friends and I visited during 10/2018. The staff was very friendly and nice five stars!!

Cons- The property was still under construction in some areas, loud construction noises were unavoidable. Forget sleeping in and enjoying your peaceful morning coffee with picture perfect views. The workers arrived on the island by speed boat early AM and would holler amongst each other every morning. They were scattered all over the property gawking at guest, not a great feeling. Their fitness center is unacceptable. Some workers would sit in there and rest during lunch / breaks, they tracked they’re filthy work boots throughout the fitness center, and interruptions every couple of minutes with their personal use of guest water machine. Food was limited in the restaurants, Understanding.

*NOTE!!!! Travel to Scrub Island was a painfully horrifying experience I will never forget. Depending on weekdays / weekends The ferry can shut down which allows only one transporting to all the surrounding islands. If you are traveling from St Thomas, you must buy a ferry ticket to Road Town ( $160 per person round trip with luggage fees ) There are two ferry location in St Thomas, Charlotte Amalie and Red hook. Both ferry take you there, however, they are backwards island people,..... they can tell you seats are available until they are suddenly not for whatever reason ( surprised sudden changes ). Charlotte Amalie is a smaller ferry terminal then Red hook and limited to departure time. If you miss the ferry at Charlotte Amalie, you can head over to Redhook,... another 45 mins and a taxi fare. You then wait for the next available ferry to Road Town which is a nice but long 2hrs. Next, debark at road town Ferry terminal and clear their customs ( filling out detailed custom form to the officers liking), again, strange way of island business. Then, scrub island has a gentlemen waiting to transport you to scrub island dock. If you are not in the window of the pick up time, you will have to catch a taxi ride ( 45 mins, $60 for 2 ). Lastly, arrive at scrub Island dock, scrub island staff situated you in speed boat and gets you to Pier. I just felt terrible for family with small children. On the way back is not much better. If you have a flight to catch, make sure you get correct ferry departure schedule. They change their schedules without notice and resort employees were wrong in our case. We had to charter a private boat for 4 people back to St. John’s, get off with passports, and clear customs. Then get back on and head to Red Hook ferry dock which cost almost $800, that’s without another $ 80 taxi fare to resort. This would be worth it if you are staying a week on Scrub with out the above nuisances. We were there for two days,.... I would NEVER make this commute for two days again.
