What is the condition of the Island Beachcomber?

Any update on point pleasant hotel please?
How about Bolongo bay resort is it open for business.
Assume nothing is open for business, It’s beyond bad in general.
thanks for the response. going somewhere else.
Need information for how a visitor can get off the island of St. Thomas to return to the US mainland. The governor mentioned in tonight’s press conference a couple cruise ships coming soon to evacuate up to 4000 people back to Florida’s east coast. Where should a person go to sign up for that.
I’m also wondering how a person should get signed up for this. Also, i was able to reserve seats on cape air for Tuesday afternoon. No guarantees if the airport will be open for sure though. I was also given some contact through the coast guard for relief shelters through the coast guard. 340-715–6825 340-715-6844 The red cross is also working with family reunification efforts if you haven’t heard anything from family
Tiffany…thanks so much for your quick reply and valuable information. I have discovered that American, Delta, and United have scheduled flights beginning Thursday, 14 Sep. I’ll look at Cape Air since you mentioned that and look how to link them to a flight out of SJU. Thanks again.
Any status of Emerald Beach Resort on Lindbergh Bay?
Repaired and open
Seeking information and photos on Water Island.
Anyone know about the “Green Iguana” hotel……it’s located just slightly below Blackbeard’s?

Any information on Emerald Beach Resort – condition after the storm, when it will be up and running?
Anyone know if the Island Beachcomber Hotel located near the airport on Lindberg Bay in St Thomas substained any major damage or if it is open?
Hi D,
I would like a status report on Island Beachcomber as well. We are/were booked in mid Jan. ’18. Hope the great staff and guests are all safe.
Any word on Estate Lindholm. As previous guests and island lovers we are concerned for all the islanders, businesses and friends we have met on St John.

This aerial video flies over Estate Lindholm just after the 2-minute mark. The main buildings appear to be standing, with roofs intact, although the nearby restaurant appears demolished. We very much enjoyed our stay there, and wish a speedy recovery for this beautiful island.

My name is Diane. I lived on St Thomas for 10 years. Raised three children who attended the VI Montessori school. I’m worried sick because my friend of 46 years is still on the Island. I’m concerned if she is ok or not. Her name is Denise Ferland. She lives st 4-6 Bonne Resolution. St Thomas US Virgin Islands. 00802. Could someone please go to her home An see if she is ok. Thank you. Mrs Diane Lieberson
I thought this website would get updated with new information about the resorts, but apparently it is not going to be updated. RCI says they haven’t heard anything from the resort.
Please give update on Island Beachcomber and Emerald Beach Resorts on Lindbergh Bay. It seems that you are not reporting on these resorts AT ALL and people need to know something about their status. If communication is up, please issue a reply of some sort. It has been dead silence for too long. Thanks
I need to get to St. Thomas on Dec. 12 to give a presentation for the rebuilding efforts and I can not find a hotel. I would need two rooms
