This was our second trip to this property. It's an RCI timeshare property and was built in the 60's sometime. Like most timeshares, they act like a hotel to get use of rooms that are not "bought" for a particular week. Two years ago we arranged our stay through RCI - this year we booked directly with the "hotel." On... more

We were pleasantly supprised to find Hotel on the Cay. Originaly we were booked at another hotel (it was hell on earth) and had to spend the entire night there because it was so late (but thats a whole other story). Hotel on the Cay saved us! We arrived there in the morning and paid (the exact amount in cash)... more

This place is OK - barely. If you're paying a cheap price to stay here, it's fine. I got a very cheap deal, so the accomodations and inconveniences I encountered were digestable, but if you pay any "normal" price, I strongly suggest you stay elsewhere. If you don't read anything else I say below, let me say if you are... more

Spent a week with my family at Hotel on the Cay , and we had a very enjoyable relaxing vacation. The hotel has a great location, and amazing sunsets. We snorkeled right off the hotel's beach. The accomodations are basic, but clean and comfortable. The staff were very helpful, and friendly. We will return to Hotel on the Cay . more

I have stayed at HOTC two times with my sister. It is not a five star hotel and if that is what you are expecting, you will be disappointed. The rooms are ok. They are not great, but ours have always been clean and the air conditioning has always worked. The water is lukewarm usually. But, one of the best... more

Hotel on the cay is a substandard hotel. The best part of my stay was the beach and blueberry pancakes at the local restaurant on the island. The sheets were hard and irritating to my skin. The bathroom had crumbling tile behind the toilet. The air conditioner was broken and released an extremely foul odor during the night which would... more

there is NOTHING I can recommend about this hotel. The rooms are completely run down (at least 25% of the doors to the rooms were open with some sort of construction in progress), there is NO hot water (morning or night) Our sliding glass door was broken (one side of the frame was actually caved-in) The beach is disgusting (full... more

We spent a very enjoyable week at HOTC. We have a friend who has a time share at the hotel and we were to use his unit for a week. We did not get that exact unit due to a scheduling mixup and were place in a similar unit. Neither the rooms or the grounds are kept up very well,... more

I think the other reviewers who rated this property must have been on drugs! This place doesn't even warrant a one star rating! NO ONE should book it based on their website (TOTALLY MISLEADING) or the other reviewers. I checked in on August 26, 2006 at 5 pm and checked out at 5:30 pm on that same day. Once upon... more

For what you pay, you get a lot. The rest (most) of the other reviews are accurate about HOTC. Staff is friendly, hotel is old but in great location. If you're a diver, this is a place to stay. Dive Experience will even pick you up at the HOTC dock if you ask. St. Croix is a different type of... more
