“All inclusive - but room for improvements”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 19, 2013

We spent three nights at Divi Carina to explore the St. Croix island. Easy to find with posters at al road crossings from the airport.

Food OK, service slow - but that may be part of the all inclusive thinking: The less you serve, the more you earn?

Nice beach where there were very few people.

“A wonderful time had during our stay.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 18, 2013

Our first time in St. Croix was a winner. The water was warm, clear, and very blue. We are water enthusiasts, so the water is our focus. Lots of snorkeling right off of the resort's beach. Lots of sea life. People were very friendly and helpful. Front desk staff could not do enough to help you. I love my new nickname "Danish". :) Sean and Robert were wonderful at the activities shack and miniature golf. Loved the Mahi wraps and coconut shrimp. The many flavors of rum weren't bad either. Thank you to Chrys for the lengthly description as to flavors and favorite drinks made from them. Cane Bay and Buck Island are truly worth a visit. Would surely like to return for another stay. Maybe longer next time. Thank you to all of the staff at Divi Carina Bay Resort. Loved your "island time".

We're so happy to hear that you had a marvelous time here on St. Croix and at the Divi Carina Bay! Thank you for the sweet but power packed review of your stay with us.

We share these reviews with the staff by posting them in the employee cafeteria. However, when you mention someone by name, we highlight their names so that they would quickly see how they made a difference to your stay. There's no better way to give Sean, Robert, Krys and all the other departments mentioned in your review.

Thank you for taking the time to post this! We hope to see you again soon!

“Don't waste your money...bring a mouse trap!!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed February 15, 2013

We just returned from staying here from 2/2-2/9 the place needs complete updating and is understaffed and the servers & bartenders are overworked,unhappy and are in no mood to help(Exceptions:EC,Marlon,Scott,Curt) if it wasn't for David,Rasheem,Celina and Owen at the Pizza place this trip would have been a complete disaster! Crazy when you think about it that you have to go to a pizza place to hear music and be treated like a guest and not a nusiance!We were on an incentive trip with 7 other couples all inclusive and we all have the same stories to tell,we actually had to leave the resort twice to go to dinner to get some descent service and food ( Duggans & Blue Water Terrace were great)And as others have said EVERYTHING closes at 10 pm you can't even get a spring water never mind a beer after 10 PM unless you go to the Casino which only has entertainment on Friday & Saturday Nites.Whatever you do if you do decide to go to this place do not try the "Rock Dinner" 6 of us made reservations one night sat there for an hour with only a glass of water offered to us then we finally had enough we left and went to the pizza place to eat and get a cocktail and stories we heard from other couples were worse sitting there for 3-4 hours and then the rocks not being hot enought to cook on.Also when we arrived our room was filthy and even our maid Mary D said to us the next morning when we pointed out the hairy counter tops and bathroom floors that SHE was disgusted we tipped her well and our room was clean for the rest of the week thank you Mary!!The last thing i want to mention is that 2 couples had mice in their rooms and they were relocated in the middle of the night to different rooms.If you haven't gone to other "All Inclusive resorts" before you will probably come away thinking that your trip/resort wasn't that bad,but if you have gone to other All Inclusive resorts you will leave this place longing for that other resort you stayed at before.. BELIEVE ME....Here we come Westin Aruba!!

Notice to management: Why not try having some music during the day at the bar by the beach and not shutting that bar down at 5pm and making everyone go to the lobby for a cocktail,most of your customers I met there were from cold weather states and travel to warm climates to be outside not trapped in the lobby inside and also try giving some of your quality employees some help so they are not over worked and stressed out i mean you have 2 servers trying to serve 15 tables at lunch time and 1 bartender cover a 40 foot bar and also having to make drinks for the servers...not fair to your customers or employees!!!

Room Tip: Rooms on first floor walk out to the beach but that is where the mice were

As a resort dedicated to providing superior customer service, we are continually striving to best serve our customers. When our efforts fail to meet expectations, it is important that the matter be brought to our attention so that it may be corrected as soon as possible. Thank you for your commentary on your stay with us. It’s always a pleasure to hear when we are doing something right and when we could improve.

It behooves me to mention however that as we are located on an area of the island surrounded mostly by brush and hills we sometimes do have some wildlife visitors. As for this, we take preventive measure with respect to rodents by strategically placing boundaries as well as having regular pest control services to keep any animal out of the rooms. We encourage guests not to leave their doors open at night as most wildlife are looking for food and shelter this time of year. As far as housekeeping, this is one of the more consistent among the high ratings that we receive. All housekeepers are trained to clean the room in the same fashion and we wish that we had known of this so that we could have corrected the error of that particular housekeeper in order to maintain consistency.

We are sorry to hear that you found your stay with us to be a less than pleasurable experience and hope that you give St. Croix another chance. Your commentary and suggestions certainly were beneficial to us.

“Truly Heaven”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 14, 2013

There is no place on any Island that I've experienced that is similar to this.. The service and ambiance are unique .. It is lavish and decadent, and I stay here without guilt.. It is a true saying.. You get what you pay for..

“Family Wedding and Vacation”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 13, 2013

We had a great time. When we arrived we were very stressed due to traveling in a group of 11 that included a 3 yr old and 6 yr old. We were greeted by very friendly and helpful staff. In very short order we were checked in and enjoying a cocktail and dinner. Patti, the Event Planner did an excellent job of organizing the wedding and making sure we had everything we needed. Marlin, the server was most friendly and helpful! I would acknowledge every person that works there but I don't have their names. The 6 yr old was sick with strep and they recommended and excellent doctor who saw him right away. They were very concerned ad asked about him throughout our stay. This is a very family friendly resort!
This is an older established resort. Updating is needed but that would not hold me back from traveling and staying there again! Thank you!

Room Tip: First floor is nice if you have little ones. The beach is right outside your door.

Thank you for you warm review of your stay with us! We were all worried about your son. No one likes to be sick much less to be sick on vacation. Plus your sons were completely adorable and would strike up a conversation with a perfect stranger as if that was just the thing to do. They were a joy to chat with and find out what they did for the day.

Patti, Troy, Bernadette and their crew work very hard to make sure that they live up to their policy of "Blissful Beginnings" and do a fabulous job at meeting everyone's needs.

Thank you once again for your review. We are happy to know that so many people made a difference to your stay! We share these posts with staff members but as you've named some on here specifically, we will be highlighting their names and posting the review in the staff cafeteria so that can see how much of a difference they were in making your vacation a memorable one. See you again soon!
