Excellent place to stay, central to everything with very friendly staff. Not a "resort" destination by any means, but for flexibility and comfortable though not opulent accommodations, it THE place for people drawn to the sea, and the old and partially rebuilt town of Christiansted where there are many ruins of a former sugar cane economy that beg for restoration... more

We were on a budget and as other hotels in St Croix were ridiculoursly expensive, we decided to try hotel Caravelle. This stay ruined our entire Virgin island trip. Thank goodness we booked only one night. The hotel is dingy, ugly and in need of major repairs. The hallways were dirty. The door to the rooms were keyed and looked... more

We returned from the Caravelle in June. We've been at the Caravelle 3 times in 2007. We've been staying there every year since 1985. Our service is always great. The Caravelle staff are the best. The Caravelle is not the Carambola. It is what it is, a budget hotel. A pleasant good evening and a thank you goes very far.... more

After months of research, my best fried & I decided to stay at Hotel Caravelle while in St. Croix. Check in took forever! On the night we noticed that there was water dripping from the ceiling. When we called the front desk, we were told that maintenance wouldn't be back until the morning. With no other alternative, we put a... more

Terrible experience. Tough to go up to third floor with 40 lbs of luggage. Room dirty. No sprinkler system and only exit is outside stairway. All rooms have ashtrays. Loud and noisy. Could not get room temp below 80 degrees during the day. Mold apprears to be present in air vents. Would not return. Good price but like a Motel... more

Although not overly impressed with it's ambiance, the Caravelle was both clean & comfortable. Also, the Staff were kind and considerate; perhaps my first encounter with the casual or laid-back approach of Caribbean people. The next morning, the issue of ambiance took a back seat to that of location, as I set out to explore the immediate area via foot.... more

We were very pleased that we chose Hotel Caravelle. Having just surfed the internet, and not knowing St. Croix at all, we took a chance and booked this hotel online. We couldn't believe the location. It is located right on the boardwalk. The room was clean with a gorgeous view of the pool/ocean. There is a restaurant connected to the... more

The positive side to Hotel Caravelle is the location. It is right on the boardwalk, within easy walking distance to restaurants and shops. The hotel itself left a lot to be desired. Think "Motel 6 with repair problems" and you've got the Caravelle. Our bathroom had obvious water damage on the ceiling that was covered over with duct tape. (Wish... more

I do not enjoy panning a hotel but I believe a warning to others is in order. My husband and I have stayed in many hotels on many islands, so we are not novices. We returned, 2 days ago, from a week at the Hotel Caravelle. We will not return to this hotel. I'll start with the pluses.... the rooms... more
