Room was clean, the young lady with the multicolored glasses was extremely nice!! The hotel is outdated but clean. The only issue is that I had to wait for the room I actually paid for...but they made an effort. Also the AC was leaking in the room but it was on my last day, so I was not really bothered. Yes I would return, knowing what to expect. The hotel has a nice beach and tasty wings.

1.housekeeping needs to be done daily instead of every other day.it’s the beach and who wants sand in their bed. Biggest gripe also is beach towels. There were never any clean ones. We went 4 days with the same towel. On fifth day early that morning I was requesting clean beach towels and they just kept saying they are at the laundry. Finally they brought us towels after dark. Why in the world would it take 5 days to get clean towels? 2. Stairwell behind the bar that takes you to 3 rd floor needs lights working. It was completely dark and it is a trip/ fall hazard. They also need to be clean daily. 3. This place has potential to be a 5 star resort if they would just put more work ethic into the place. Love the island and the views from the rooms are amazing.

Simple hotel, not fancy, even though it is in need of repair it was perfect for my family of 11. We reserved 4 rooms. Very clean, nice and comfortable beds. Very affordable, the beach was perfect, and the ferry was very reliable.

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.

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.

Piece of Paradise in Paradise

Hotel on the Cay in St. Croix offers a fantastic stay with friendly and accommodating staff. The convenient boat shuttle to the island ensures minimal wait times. The island's beach is well-maintained, the drinks at the bar are excellent, and the food is outstanding. Highly recommended for a great island getaway.

A great location for the price

The price needs to be considered when reviewing this hotel since the price is reasonable for the location. Yes, it is dated and a bit run down, but the apparently new owners are working on the place. The location is perfect, especially if you don’t want to rent a car, since the beach is beautiful and clean and all the amenities of town are a few quick ferry-ride minutes away. The beach bar is nice and the hotel staff were all friendly and accommodating. We hope they continue to upgrade and we hope to see great progress in the future.
