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 The hotel is a little outdated and under a little construction but is the best place to stay while in St. Croix!

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

Outdated and under remodeling but my room was Clean comfortable and friendly.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

Been staying here for 20 years. The best place on the island in my opinion.
Loved the private beach feel and riding the water taxi was fun. The place definitely felt safe. The sheets were bad but otherwise our stay was great.

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.
This place should be condemmed; it is a Roach Motel; how you can even put this on your site for people to go to is beyond me; I wouldnt let me dog stay there. We got into the room, and immediately left

We love Hotel on the Cay. It is the most wonderful place to vacation. The hotel is undergoing renovations so you will need to set that aside because you’re not in the room much anyways.
