Point Pleasant Resort vs Club Wyndham Elysian Beach Resort – At a Glance

Category Point Pleasant Resort Club Wyndham Elysian Beach Resort
Overall Vibe Hillside villa-style resort on 15 lush acres overlooking Water Bay, with a quieter, nature-forward feel and individually decorated accommodations. Beach-resort vacation-condo atmosphere at Elysian Beach, better suited to travelers who want the sand and water to be the main focus of the stay.
Location On the East End of St. Thomas, overlooking Water Bay and the Caribbean Sea, with steep hillside terrain and a car often recommended for getting around. Set by Elysian Beach on St. Thomas, appealing to guests who want a more direct beach setting rather than a hillside resort layout.
Rooms & Suites Individually decorated guestrooms and villas with fully equipped kitchens, private balconies or patios, and a more residential island-stay feel. Vacation-condo style accommodations, a better match for travelers who want a Club Wyndham resort format close to the beach.
Dining Two on-site dining venues are listed by the resort, including a relaxed open-air waterfront option and a more upscale tropical dining experience; current names and seasonal availability should be reconfirmed. Better for guests who expect a classic resort dining setup near the beach, though travelers should confirm current restaurant and bar availability before booking.
Pools & Beach Three outdoor pools plus the resort’s private Sugar Beach cove, with swimming and snorkeling possible right off the sand. Stronger if you want the beach itself to be the central setting of the vacation rather than moving between hillside pools, paths, and viewpoints.
Kids & Family All-ages resort where children are welcome, with babysitting/child care listed; note that some balconies, patios, terraces, and hillside areas may require extra care with younger children. A practical choice for families or groups who prefer a beach-based resort environment and the familiarity of a vacation-club style property.
Price & Value Best value for travelers who will use the kitchen, private outdoor space, pools, shuttle, and quieter hillside setting as part of the vacation. Best value for guests who care less about villa seclusion and more about staying in a recognizable beach-resort setting.

Expect:

  • A relaxed open-air waterfront restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks, and island favorites

Kids & Family: All-Ages Villa Resort vs Beach-Based Group Ease

Point Pleasant Resort – Family Considerations

Point Pleasant Resort welcomes children of all ages and can work well for families who value kitchens, extra space, and a quieter setting, though the hillside layout deserves attention.

  • Children are welcome, and babysitting/child care is listed as available
  • Full kitchens help families handle snacks, simple meals, and flexible routines
  • Balconies, patios, terraces, and steep terrain may require extra caution with younger children
