Where to Stay on St. Croix
Pick your pleasure when it comes to a place to stay on St. Croix. Accommodations range from a luxurious resort on the grounds of an 18th-century sugar plantation to a tiny bed-and-breakfast where sugar birds perch on your breakfast table — and just about everything in between. You'll find full amenities like golf, tennis, spas and a choice of restaurants at several large resort hotels, and one is home to the U.S. Virgin Islands' only casino.
Midsize or small oceanfront properties often feature fine restaurants on-site. Boutique hotels in the two towns and scattered throughout the island are loaded with personality and creature comforts. And if you want to stay longer, you'll find an excellent selection of short-term rental properties, including beachside cottages, stylish condos and rambling residences with pools.
The following are some of the many options for hanging your hat (and your flippers) while vacationing in St. Croix.
