Our fresh water pools (there are three!) are the perfect stop any time of day. We have found the Cliffside Pool to be very popular with our guests for an early morning dip - it is quiet and one is able to watch the ships as they enter and leave the ports in Charlotte Amalie. This gorgeous pool is also a lovely place to watch the sun set while reclining on the padded teak lounge chairs. A bit further up the hill, surrounded by lush tropical plantings, is the Regatta Pointe Pool. It is the quietest of the three pools and provides a fantastic view of the Caribbean Sea.
Our Oceanfront Pool - just 6 steps from the sand!
The freshwater Oceanfront Pool is a favorite because of its' proximity to the beach (6 steps!) and to your personal Paradise. Tables, chairs, and umbrellas create a fun site for lunch or snacks when you wish to leave the sand behind. This pool is also conveniently located near one of two coin-operated laundry areas at Watergate Villas East, allowing you to do your laundry and lounge poolside at the same time!
Three great restaurants are a stroll away. Mim's Seaside Bistro is located beachfront here at Watergate Villas East. People come from all over St. Thomas to dine at this lovely oceanside location. Especially popular for her all-you-can-eat shrimp nights, Mim is nearly always onsite checking the quality of the service and food - Caribbean lobster, filet mignon, etc. A short walk down the pavered path and you reach Iggie's Beach Bar & Grill. Iggie's is known for its' weekly Caribbean Night (seasonal). Walk on over and enjoy watching the moko jumbies dance, the glass walker, and the fire-eating man! Iggie's also features all-you-can-eat crab nights and other themed dining experiences. Families are always welcome. And, should you choose to spend some quality time at the bar, it's a short walk home to your own Paradise! The Lobster Grille is located in the center of the Bolongo Bay Beach Resort, with views of the sea. For those desiring a more upscale dining experience, the Lobster Grille will meet your needs throughout the day. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
