Outdated and under remodeling but my room was Clean comfortable and friendly.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.

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.

The views, private beach, and hotel bar are incredible. The hotel is a little outdated and under a little construction but is the best place to stay while in St. Croix!

Fire alarms chirping continuously due dust from construction. Patio door didn't lock and had to be lifted to open or closed. Light bulbs burnt out leaving room poorly lit. Maintenance under staffed. No path to roll luggage requiring to lift heavy luggage up three flights of stairs. Not senior friendly.

I had asked for a ground floor room when I booked the reservation, I told them I was coming in late and would not make it to the hotel until after 11 PM, I was told that is no problem, there is always someone there. When I arrived and rode the water taxi to the hotel the office was closed the driver of the boat said there is no one there to give me a room. I said can you call somebody and have them come help. He said I am supposed to help you but I don't know how. I told him everything was supposed to be arranged and ready for my arrival, and he said that he could get the information and the key and let me in and I would have to check in with them in the morning. He tried to give me a room on the third floor that they had reserved for me but I told him I was unable to use the stairs since there was no elevator. After a long struggle we ended up with a room on the ground floor. The room was not great, everything was very chipped up. The sliding door to the balcony was trashed and there was no seal frame on the fixed glass and when you opened the door the frame fell out. The beach is nice, but it is public and it is quite often full of drunken sailors or locals. The hotel is in Mid restoration so there is construction everywhere. The people are very nice but the room Wi-Fi or TV we're not functioning, so everything was done via Cell Phone instead of having available Wi-Fi. I called every single day to have it repaired and was assured that it would be fixed. It was never fixed
