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

I'd have to say that I agree with all the positive aspects mentioned in previous reviews. This was a nice little hotel! Again, it isn't the ritz, or even a holiday inn express, but it is very clean and when the air conditioner has been on for a while, the room is great. I was a little leery at first,... More

Stayed at the HOTC with friends for 10 days. Its a very laid back spot. Quiet, Friendly Staff. Clean. The setting is nice, with plenty of nice palm trees, and vegetation. Great views off the sea from the peak, and from most rooms. Some rooms are better than others, with the beach view rooms being the best in my opinion.... More

This hotel was better than we expected based on other reviews. We stayed for 1 week and had a blast. The location of the hotel is great, and only a 90 sec. boat ride to the town of Christiansted for all your shopping and eating. The room was basic but had everything we needed including a coffee maker, microwave, toaster... More

In March 2006, our extended family gathered at Hotel on the Cay for 10 days. This hotel came with some pretty bad reviews so we were quite nervous to stay there. First off, we did not have any issues with water, temperature or lack there of. Rooms were ok. Our first one had an ant problem and a railing on... More

Great location, but the hotel is a dump. The view from our window included a trashy, old cement pad and garbage. Trade winds blasted through the room making incredible noise. I was SO upset to be stuck there a week. The front desk was not at all helpful in putting us in a room with a decent view even though... More

Loved the peace and tranquility of HOTC. The hotel is old and could use some extensive remodeling, but being on the secluded beach more than made up for the old rooms. Hotel staff was friendly and helpful. Housekeeping did good job keeping our room clean. My biggest complaint is not about the hotel but about the people using the beach... More

I loved Hotel on the Cay for the location. The building was a bit run down, but we spent all our time outdoors anyway. For us the hotel was fine and the location was super. I've visited 30 different countries and multiple locations in each country and I rate St. Croix as the most relaxing vacation I've ever had, mostly... More

Hey, this is the US Virgin Islands, mon! We stayed the week before Christmas on a scuba trip. The dive shop, Dive Experience, was fabulous. Hotel on the Cay is cute, had no hot water (tepid at best) and on a couple of mornings had no water at all ("the main was broken"). Room chambermaids were fabulous, but the attached... More
