The snorkeling was amazing. Alot of different species, sizes and shapes. Almost at knee level. Staff were welcoming. Let us check in early because of our flight time. They gave us welcoming drinks and there was a fridge and microwave in our rooms. Complimentary snorkel, towel, and kayak. Beach and resort was not crowded because property is recovering from the hurricane.Highly recommend

I enjoyed my stay! I wish it could have been longer. The thing I wished I would have known before my stay is that you need CASH for the taxis and cabs (no Uber). Cell phone service there can be spotty, even for the locals. I had to transfer money around and had to use the ATM (thankfully they had one! :)) at the hotel. One Cab service did have paypal and I could pay him that way! Transferring money was a bit of a chore! But the beach was beautiful, people were super great!!! My flight came in late the first day and I asked if I could have food (even if it was just something heat and eat) sent up to the room since the kitchen would have long since closed, and they did! It was amazing! I loved the peace and the people. I would love to come and stay again!

This place was an awesome value for the price! We woke up to a beautiful ocean view. The private beach area was just steps from our room. Free snorkeling equipment, beach towels and kayaks were available from the front office. The restaurant on property was delicious, although the menu is limited on Tuesday and Wednesday night. The heated pool awaits each evening after an enjoyable day on the beach. If you’re interested in exploring the island, the local bus will take you across the island for just $2.25 each way and a stop is a short walk out the Sand Castle’s front door. Down across from the dock, ask Mr. Tony and his dog, Ranger, to direct you to Maggie’s Snackette for the best parrotfish. Both Ms. Thelma and Mr. Mike are the best taxi drivers. Maybe Ms. Thelma will make you banana bread too! Don’t miss on a gem of a locale.

The location was very quiet and laid back and low key on this side of the island, if that is what your looking for its perfect.. its for Middle Ages and up . The beach was beautiful the views and sunsets absolutely stunning . Snorkeling was awesome as well and the local staff and guest I met was really nice. The bed was comfortable.

They are still in construction because of the hurricane. But because if it is quiet and private. I didn't hear anything. Continental Breakfast was limited, but included local breads and juices. A bit of a cab ride from airport. But worth it.

The included breakfast was unusual at first - more like a pickup buffet for having breakfast in your room. Not much to choose from but the fresh rolls were delicious.
The hotel is perfectly situated at one of the best beaches of St. Croix, if not the best. Just step out your room, cross the pool yard and hit the sandy beach with palms and sunset view. Or just stay at the pool and bar. The room was clean, well designed and comfy. The bedside lamps had even USB ports for charging your devices. And the hotel personnel was very friendly and helpful.

The property is very old , it needs major up dating .. I stayed in room 303 at top dollar , supposed to be ocean front. The front windows did face towards the ocean, front door towards the outside wall of the next villa. No Tv in the front room where you could enjoy the ocean. The 1 tv was in the bedroom where you had no view at all , but worst of all was the old plumbing .. I had to keep all the windows open , I especially had to keep the bathroom door open . A awful wet ,mildew ,mold smell. They even had the stick up air fresheners , I later found in every room . Luckily all the windows had screens ,they are the old roll out shutter windows . Everything in the room was outdated and the facility itself .. EVERYTHING! I went for the beach and the culture , so I was out of the room every day and I only used it for the shower and sleeping.
The location was very quiet and laid back and low key on this side of the island, if that is what your looking for its perfect.. its for Middle Ages and up . The beach was beautiful the views and sunsets absolutely stunning . Snorkeling was awesome as well and the local staff and guest I met was really nice. The bed was comfortable.
