The hotel was very nice. (undergoing daily spruce up and painting while we were there). The staff was helpful and pleasant. The rooms were clean and all of the appliances were in working order. The boat taxi was always available for a quick ride to town. We never waited more that 3 minutes for the ride.I would go back and... More

We came to St Croix and we smitten by the thought of a private island. In deed this is a prized location with the only beach in the area but the hotel needs major updating. Our room had fist sized holes in the drywall and thick mold growing on the 2 a/c vents. The bathroom had tiles missing and mold.... More

Hotel on the Cay is nothing fancy or upscale. If you need that go somewhere else. BUT, it is our fav because we like laid back style. The private beach is fantastic and always feel safe being on our own island. The ferry ride is never a problem. Very easy access to shopping, restaurants etc. More

We just returned from a week at Hotel on the Cay and, in spite of glitches here and there, found it quite enjoyable. This hotel is a diamond in the rough - there is so much potential for greatness. Clearly there is a lot of transition going on. Members of our family made reservations (3 suites, 3 rooms, and the... More

The beach and location are great, which helps make up for some of the problems. The staff were pleasant if not terribly efficient. Reservation was messed up, causing us to move next day; we had to beg for towels and toilet paper; promised 'free wifi throughout the hotel' was not working till our third day, then actually only in lobby...

How many hotels have their own private island? This place is awesome! A beautifully landscaped island with a beach and a bar/restaurant, nice pool, a fantastic watersports center, and a ferry to take you across beautiful Christiansted Harbor to shop, eat out, or drink any time. The staff is friendly and knowledgable. A little gift shop with some groceries is... More

We loved HOTC! Yes, it was a little outdated, a bit run, down but so is almost everything in the Caribbean. It was clean, convenient, centrally located but still not right in the middle of everything - you can get away when you need to. The ferry that runs back and forth takes a minute or two, and will show... More

The location is UNBEATABLE. Unfortunately the hotel itself is horribly outdated. The good: location, beach, beach side drink service, pool. The room prices are reasonable, and the kitchen in the room allows you to make some food and store drinks in the fridge. The bad: outdated rooms (we stayed in #203).The decor is from the 80s, the doors to the... More

We just returned from St. Croix two days ago from our wedding trip. The Hotel on the Cay was great for us and our group of 36! The hotel is aged, but there is much work planned over the next year. We loved the convenience of being right across the harbor from Christiansted with lots of shopping, restaurants and night... More
