Point Pleasant Resort has announced it will be having its grand re-opening on Dec. 17, now that hurricane repairs are completed and there is a sparkling new property to show for it.
The resort will be under new management headed by Jahmed Mills, who grew up on St. Thomas and was educated at the University of the Virgin Islands (Bachelor of Arts in Accounting and Financial Management, MBA in Business Management).
He began his career in the hotel industry at Frenchman’s Reef and comes to Point Pleasant after serving since 2016 as the general manager of French Leave Resort on the island of Eleuthera in the Bahamas.
In his position at French Leave Resort, a boutique property and member a of Marriott’s Autograph Collection, Mills was responsible for all aspects of hotel operations. The resort and Mills’ leadership were honored this year by being nominated for a prestigious Conde Nast Reader’s Choice Award for ‘Best Resort.’
Mills’ goal is to bring the same extraordinary level of personal service to every guest at Point Pleasant Resort to ensure that each one’s St. Thomas experience is an unforgettable one.
“As anyone who has been to Point Pleasant knows, we have million-dollar views at every turn and great spaces for events. Mirador (the former Agave restaurant space) and Shoreline Bar and Grille (the former Fungi’s space) have all been renovated and will offer outstanding food and service — and our million-dollar views — for meetings, receptions and weddings. For outdoor weddings and receptions, we also will be offering our intimate gazebo and our pool, both of which offer panoramic down-island views.”
Point Pleasant Resort is offering a pre-opening locals rate until Dec. 17 while the finishing touches are being made. As Mills said, “We want our local friends and neighbors to come to the resort and invite their friends and families as well. We are ready now to show them some “one love” service at our unique, romantic and friendly 4-star property.
