This property could be a goldmine. A hotel on its own island! Come on now! However, this is not the case and property is in desperate need of a whole renovation. Personally, I feel it should be demolished and rebuilt. Staff was very nice. BBQ food was very good along with bar. Unfortunately, because of how run down and dumpy the entire property is, we immediately checked out next day. If owner ever decides to rebuild or do a major overhaul of property, we would consider going back. However, if it stays like this, NEVER AGAIN! It is a real shame. We were really looking forward to staying there.

It's location is like a Beach Resort, but cheaper. I enjoyed the Karaoke Night on Tuesday. The Beach is not crowded and the sand was fun to walk on. I got one fresh coconut that fell from its tree near where I was sitting and the "Handyman" Mr. Oscar, helped to cracked it open; I enjoyed the coconut milk and the flesh. The room was clean with supplies of coffee/pot, cutleries, iron/board, air dryer, etc. But the Bed was too soft and sinking a little bit. I didn't complain because my room was on Ocean View and I thought to change might put me out of the View.

The room is very outdated. The iguanas are like stray cats as soon as you open the balcony door, two iguanas were already sitting out there, looking at us on the brick and then when we stepped out onto the balcony three more Iguanas popped out from the bushes and two rushed us on the deck waiting for food. That was so we just first got in the room. I had called the front desk to see if we can get in the room but she said all the third floor was booked so we had to stay in that room. We just didn’t go on the balcony anymore. Even when we opened the curtain they would come to the balcony or watch you from the bricks waiting for us to give them something if we close the curtains for a couple hours they would eventually leave, but we made a game out of it.

What I liked, beach, convenient ferry rides, & very spacious. The room we were given shouldn't have been given to anyone in its condition. Thats why i rates the staff a 3, the work that needs to be done is blatantly obvious. While I could have complained upon check in, we didn't. We were exhausted, and figured, if this is what they gave us, the odds of a better unit probably didn't exist. I did let the front desk know upon check out.

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.
