Hotel on the Cay

Top choice in St Croix


The hotel sits offshore on its own little island called Protestant Cay, accessible via a five-minute ferry ride (free for guests). It’s good value for the spacious rooms with full kitchenettes and bright furnishings, even if they're a bit worn. Private balconies let you take in cool breezes and sea views. Access to the island's small beach and pool is included.
