Besides the roaches, the place was AMAZING. Drinks were great, food was filling. The property was under construction, but still very beautiful. The roaches really killed the vibe though. They seem to enjoy the bathroom and the curtains the most even though they are also present in the kitchenette. I think an exterminator would do them good. The staff were very helpful and very friendly. Otherwise we had a great time. Would have been 5 stars if we didn’t have to deal with roaches in our room. Easy fix.

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!!!

The room was great, except we should have asked for a room on the first floor, as the stairs left us out of breath. Checking in was a breeze, front desk staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The beach chairs and the ferry are at no charge to guests of the hotel, that was a nice surprise. They are renovating rooms and improving the amenities. The beach is perfect. Rolling Smoke BBQ on the beach is on point, delicious!!!! Bar staff is always top notch when I visit! All in all, a great stay and I was pleasantly surprised at the room amenities and ocean view.

We stayed eight nights and it was okay. I was shocked by the fact that guests have to pay twenty dollars a day to use an umbrella on the beach, and you only get one free lounger, your travel partner will have to pony up 15 bucks. No coffee maker in any of the rooms. Our sliding glass door to the balcony was broken, and we only had WiFi in our room for about 5 minutes the entire time. The pictures are very inaccurate, the place is in shambles from hurricane damage and it’s a bit depressing when you’re trying to enjoy a vacation. I read that there was construction/renovation happening, but I wasn’t expecting such disarray. On the plus side, it was fun taking the ferry into town and checking out the shops and restaurants. The staff is great and Joan at the front desk was very kind and helpful.

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.
