I can’t wait to see the hotel finished and restored. We have been coming there for over 20 yrs. My ex-husband is from St.Croix, we know how beautiful the property use to be. The staff were friendly, courteous, and helpful. We love the beach.

The hotel stay was pretty awesome. Taking the ferry back and forth to the main island was fun and very convenient! The guys in the boat shop on the hotel property were my hero’s and so helpful with tour info and any questions we had. The staff was so friendly and helpful. The only thing I could complain about is the hotel is still renovating so there was quite a bit of construction mess and noise but it was not really a bother. The snorkeling around the hotel was fantastic!!!

Outdated and under remodeling but my room was Clean comfortable and friendly. The beach, beach bar and rolling smoke are fantastic. I look forward to going back when the construction is over. The kitchenette was a must have for my grandkids in the morning. I sure hope they don’t get rid of it.

This small island was convenient with just a short ferry ride to the boardwalk in town. The property is an older property with its own beach. The beach was a bit rocky under the water but it was very nice to relax on the beach. Some of the staff when you check in are not that attentive and dont bother trying to check in early as you will have to wait until 3 pm. The property is under renovation and should be beautiful when done. It was fine for a 1 night stay

Rooms are advertised as having air conditioning but over our week there, we had to be moved between three rooms due to the AC not working. Very frustrating not to mention hot. The staff is hit or miss at the front desk. They could definitely learn people skills better. Housekeeping and the bar employees were great.

2/10 Poor

The beach is wonderful. We frequent St. Croix, yearly. And I always wanted to give this place a chance. We did not have bath towels or beach towels available to us for our stay. How are you supposed to even take a shower? And they just expected us to be OK with it. That is a simple necessity. The TV did not work in the room, which would’ve been helpful to relax our children at night. I would go back just to experience the bar, but I would never stay at the hotel again.
