Have been to St Croix twice in the past 3 years, stayed at the HOTC both times. We are staying there again with 3 other couples from last year, again next month. It is a little dated, but appears to have a serious renovation plan constantly taking place for the whole facility, and the improvements are obvious. Most of the... More

This was our first trip to St Croix. The HOTC was recommended by some friends who had stayed there previously. It definitly was not a 4 or 5 star accommodation, but is was very enjoyable. It does need some work but it is right on the ocean and anyone with ocean side experience knows maintenance is a constant. The staff... More

A nice day trip to the beach. The water was beautiful, the drinks were good and the food was very yummy. A nice relaxing day on the beach, a nice time swimming. A nice day out and the rum punch had some punch!

I've been going to St. Croix for more than 30 years. Since the first time my wife and I stayed at Hotel on the Cay, we haven't stayed anywhere else. A few years ago, the hotel had some pretty major problems with maintenance, but in the last couple of years a lot of work has been done on the property... More

We have been vacationing in St. Croix for many years and prefer this island over the "tourist traps". St. Croix is less crowded yet offers many things to do and see - if that is what you're looking for. Having stayed in a variety of hotels on the island, we have found the Hotel of the Cay to be the... More

It was our first trip to St. Croix and what a disappointment it was. It's such an amazingly beautiful place but the people are amongst the most rude I've seen and I've traveled the world. Unfortunately this did not stop at the hotel. From the time we checked in till check out the staff at this hotel was simply disgusting... More

Hello Wil R, Thank you for the review. The readers of Trip Advisor appreciate candid responses. However those that are misleading and inaccurate, such as yours, greatly diminish the reputation of the contributor. It is noteworthy to point out that your review of the Harbormaster Restaurant is not in the proper location. As they are operated independent of the hotel,... More

This is the only beach in Christiansted, so it is the best Hotel choice, in my opinion. It is as others have stated, a three star, that could use some sprucing up, but they are constantly working on it. It is clean and staff are friendly, the beach is very well kept and never too crowed. The 2 minute ferry... More

Wow looks like a room from a horror movie and the door would not lock. So we move at another room... More

Imagine a hotel, on its own sandy cay, with rooms that have balconies overlooking the water. Now imagine a hotel that balances out isolation with a 4 minute ferry to the town of Christiansted. Why this hotel receives bad reviews and why the cost to stay here is not double what it is currently is a mystery to me. My... More
