The view from the room was the best part, waking up and hearing the water was mesmerizing. This place could use some updating but the accommodations were doable for 1 night.

I like that's a little island away from everything but the beach ⛱️ is just steps away from your room.I love my view of the water and Gallows bay.I like the fact that they evacuated us safely before the storm into a waiting hotel. I didn't like that the sliding door does not securely close, it's weather worn.

Hotel on the Cay in St. Croix offers a fantastic stay with friendly and accommodating staff. The convenient boat shuttle to the island ensures minimal wait times. The island's beach is well-maintained, the drinks at the bar are excellent, and the food is outstanding. Highly recommended for a great island getaway.

Such a unique experience! Catching a little feery boat off of the Christiansted boardwalk to travel over to Protestant Cay. The beach is small bit beautiful, and perfect for relaxing and swimming and snorkeling with the kids. Clean rooms with efficiency kitchens but no extra frills. We came with the intention of being out on the beach except to shower and sleep. Small outdoor bar, small BBQ cookout stand. Staff were kind, respectful, and helpful. No other dining options. We took the ferry back to the boardwalk in the evenings to get dinner. Perfect for a low-key stay for 2 nights before heading to the northern coast of the island. Make sure you arrive by ferry before 8pm to check-in/get room keys, as the office closes at 8pm.

The people working there were Great...but the property is in need of MAJOR work. Looking out of our room there was a beautiful view of the beach and ocean which was ruined by the GREEN pool and the smell of the stagnant water....and I mean smell. The sliding doors needed to be closed all the time because of the smell. I must say that the bathroom was clean and they supplied many clean towels for both the bathroom and beach. Whoever owns the place is just getting by without any input/improvements. I must give a compliment to the air-conditioning...it was awesome. The water pressure in the shower was non-existent and the water was barely warm. The location was great and the shuttle back and forth to the boardwalk was also very good...one of the captains(Jason) of the shuttle was absolutely awesome and he went out of his way to help and answer any questions to make your stay/time be more enjoyable. The owner(s) need to make improvements to the resort....because what they charged to stay there for 10 days was NOT worth it.

This property is falsely advertised on your site. The hotel is literally falling apart from the tiles, railing, sidewalks, motes, pool and bar. Standing water in the motes surrounding the lobby was disgusting. There was no parking on site, guests had to ferry out to the hotel after struggling to find parking in town. The pool has been closed for years, so the website pictures are very old and misleading. There was very low water pressure in the shower which made it difficult to get clean. A dropped, dirty sock was laying on the sidewalk outside the office for days before it was picked up. Poor guest services. Expedia and Hotel on the Cay need to update the pictures of the hotel so potential guests’ vacations are ruined . Will not trust Expedia again.
