Looking to get away from it all on a beach vacation in July. I'm a single girl (30's) planning a trip by myself, to St Thomas, for a few days of relaxing, sunbathing, fruity cocktails and a good book, but need some help choosing the right hotel.

A little bit of "life" would be nice - some laid-back restaurants and bars, but mostly, I want to be sure that it's safe for someone travelling alone...and I'm not really looking for a Sandals/Hedonism resort type of place.

The few hotels that have caught my eye are the Marriott Frenchman's Reef, the Ritz Carlton (is it worth the extra $$?) and Secret Harbor.

Any recommendations would be really helpful!

Thanks!

I would suggest Sapphire Beach Resort.

Anyone go to the Marriott Frenchman's Reef resort recently? I am thinking of having a family reunion there?
