Had a great week in st Croix! The hotel on the cay was exactly as described in the reviews. Beautiful beach with beach bar and an excellent location next to the Christiansted boardwalk! The hotel is in disrepair and poorly maintained, which is why the nighty rates are low. If you can live with your room having issues (our AC went down), then it’s a great location at a discount.

Long and short, time AC didn't work and Wi-Fi is either constantly disconnecting or unusably slow. There was construction materials around the front entrance and the pool was closed. If there was another hotel on the cay, this one would be closed if it remained in this condition. Now the good. Beautiful water view and 30 seconds from the beach. A short ferry ride to the board walk which is free for cay guest. Excellent if you don't mind a hot room with no Internet service with a beautiful view and access to the beach.

As is the case with most of the Caribbean, Hotel on the Cay has been battered by hurricanes. However, if you love the beach, are not fussy and do not need ADA amenities, it is perfect. They do a great job of keeping the rooms clean and take good care of guests with charming island hospitality.

The staff was great. The property was very sad and needs to be upgraded badly. The potential is there but it was unfortunate.

We were not notified that the pool was not operating. The entire outside of property is run down. There is no elevator and no one to help with bags. We were on the 3rd floor. Our balcony door did not shut properly and rattled loudly in the wind.
The room was spacious, clean, good shower. Beach and beach bar are spectacular. The quick water taxi was easy to navigate.
