I stayed at the hotel for a week and liked it very much. The rooms are in pretty good shape, the maid service is very good not to forget the security - there are surveilance cameras, security during the night and a guard at the gate from the main road.

The hotel is in a closed area near elegant villas overlooking the beach and marina. It is small enough not to have all the hoopla of a big resort but still have a nice pool, a beutiful beach and restaurant/bar that seem to be popular among the hip crowd on the island.

We've been back for almost 2 months and still can't decide what was the best part of our stay at Tamarind Reef. Was it the people? Was it the beauty of the resort or the beauty of the whole island? Was it the snorkelling..the food...the drinks...the comfort. I guess it was just everything. We will be back!

we stayed at the tamarind for 10 days & had a great time. the deep end bar is the place to be; you get to meet a lot of locals like woody, lou, & laurie & the staff there will take great care of you. say hi to char for us, kenna, jane, jennifer & colleen, & especially lisa, the chef, who made us some fabulous meals & even cooked what we asked for. the prices are very reasonable; the red snapper that lisa prepared was awesome & only $14.00. the little beach was clean & jerry at the beach shack will take good care of your snorkling needs & has a great swim suit collection as well. and ladies, be sure to ask about the mermaid t-shirt & how to get one!! =) our entire experience was very positive & we felt safe the entire time as well. roy, the night watchman is a fun guy to visit with if you stay up to close down the bar & he is a great dj too so if you're there when he's playing you will have a blast. be sure to call 007 for your taxi service, he's awesome, & if you want to rent a car for a day or so to get around we'd recommend it but you don't need one the whole time; taxis were 3.50 per person to most places. we visited the buccaneer because we were in st croix for a wedding there & it is beautiful but don't try to go barefoot or shirtless as there is a dress code. the locals at the deep end told us they call it the "Buck-a-minute" & we found that to be true. at the tamarind it is more relaxed & laid back, which we liked. the galleon is very nice & close by & we would recommend the snorkling at buck island,(we went on the Big Beard catamaran) & the st croix brew pub on the boardwalk in christiansted. rumrunners was good, too. we did some scuba & had a good time w/ the folks at dive experience. it's a nice little shop & they take good care of you. be sure to pick up a crucian hook bracelet at sonya's or the carribean bracelet shop & take some flavored rum home w/ you, too. you get 6 bottles per person. have fun. carol & len

Very nice spot, Quiet and secluded with a small beach with some snorkeling. We stayed here for one night prior to moving over to another property for the rest of the week. Very friendly staff, rooms were a litttle pricey for a quaint little inn. The Galeon restaurant at Green Cay Marina next door is very nice as well. Gerry who runs the snorkel equipment/T shirt shack on the beach is quite a character. An Island note: If you venture out to any of the secluded coves or beaches particularly on the west side by Frederiksted do not take anything of value and check with people who are familiar with the Island. My wallet, camera, car keys and personal items were stolen off the beach while we were snorkeling in butler bay within clear view of them.
