I love it great experience
Don, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

T treated my family to a short weekend stay at the Kay and it was lovely. The beach was beautiful and the bar alive with guest. The room was spacious enough to enjoy the beach weekend and had the basic essentials for our short stay. However, the old-empty water fountain & pool outside were eye sores, obstructing out view of the beach. But overall the beach was beautiful and for a short family stay the price was not too bad.

Amazing location. Island views. Really nice beach.

Amazing location. Really nice beach. Careful on your balcony. Our handrail was in dangerous condition. Staff was friendly.

Best view than any other hotel on the beach!

A perfect place if you need to relax, we had such a great time! The hotel is undergoing some major renovations, so don't expect luxuries but our bed was comfortable, the room and bathroom were clean. The beach was steps down from our room and not crowded! And the view from our balcony - priceless. We didn't really care for a glamorous hotel with a pool (didn't matter that it was closed), we wanted a beautiful beach, do some snorkeling and unwind. And this is what we had.

We stayed one night at Hotel on the Cay so we could catch the sunrise at point udall. The property is under renovation so the pool was closed. They are working on remodeling guests rooms also. They only food was at a beach bbq shack but the food was very good. Not many guests so it was very quiet and we had an Amazing view of ocean. A complementary water taxi takes you from town to the hotel. It is very close to all the bars, restaurants and night life. We would go back and stay again.

Had a great week in st Croix! The hotel on the cay was exactly as described in the reviews. Beautiful beach with beach bar and an excellent location next to the Christiansted boardwalk! The hotel is in disrepair and poorly maintained, which is why the nighty rates are low. If you can live with your room having issues (our AC went down), then it’s a great location at a discount.

Being on the cay was very unique. Property could use some love but friendly staff made up for that. Water taxi was always fast and easy. Enjoyed our stay

As is the case with most of the Caribbean, Hotel on the Cay has been battered by hurricanes. However, if you love the beach, are not fussy and do not need ADA amenities, it is perfect. They do a great job of keeping the rooms clean and take good care of guests with charming island hospitality.
