Carambola Beach Resort St. Croix, US Virgin Islands
2/10 Terrible
"This property is pretty much in shambles we were very disappointed with the entire property. Based on pictures from the website it shouldn't have been a problem to walk on the property but due to potholes and uneven walkways it was hard to walk.Room was semi clean. Had to ask for a coffee maker as there wasn't one in the room also had to ask for coffee. We arrived on a Saturday had lunch at the pool bar , went the next day and were told it had closed and would not be reopening , we were sent to the main restaurant and the staff were very rude and acted like it was an inconvenince to have to take our order that was the last straw. I called expedia and told them I wished to have my money refunded hich was done except for one night which we had to pay along with a cancellation fee(which should not have been charged as the property was mis advertised.) We also learned the property had sold and would be closing for a complete tear down/remodel the end of May none of this was listed on the website or told to us upon booking or on our arrival to the property. VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED and had to scurry to find another place. "
"I was originally in a room 3rd floor One of the ladies came and told me they were upgrading my room. They moved me to the 2nd floor with oceanfront view. However the ice machine was right outside my door and very noisy. When they upgrade when not ask the guest should not be put next to the ice machine."
"Everything about the Buccaneer was an absolute dream! The rooms, the beaches, the food and especially the staff. Everyone there and in St. Croix in general were the kindest, happiest people we have come across. They went above and beyond to make sure you had anything you needed. The water on the beaches are crystal clear and calm, the entertainment was amazing and the golf course is beautiful, full of ocean views and wildlife. It was the absolute perfect honeymoon spot, not overly busy, ocean front restaurants, and an amazing buffet breakfast every morning. We left feeling like family, and we will most definitely be back!!!"
"Leaving five stars, because I really liked this hotel, and would like to see it succeed.
My wife and I stayed here for one week from Apr. 28 to May. 5.
The hotel itself is a historic stone building. Purportedly the building has been around since the 1600s, when it was used as a company office and sleeping quarters by the Danish West India Company. The building was recently given a 17 million dollar renovation with repairs, replacements, and additions to turn it into a functional hotel. Many original pieces of the building are thankfully preserved, such as the old stone staircases.
There is a small piano bar but it was not open during our stay and only open during peak seasons.
We enjoyed the beautiful garden-walled saltwater pool, the free guest laundry, the historic feel and the walkabilty to downtown Christiansted. We found the staff friendly and helpful.
We wished there was more history immersion. It felt sparse.
The main issue we had were that the hotel is built directly across the street from "Levels" nightclub. This nightclub played music so loud that it shook our room and we could hear every single note. The nightclub did not stop and ran until 4am on friday and saturday, and 12am on sunday. Drunken patrons filled the street and were also screaming and yelling. We got almost zero sleep these nights. It was miserable. I had no idea there was a nightclub when I booked. The front desk / hotel manager did their best make it up to me for the issue and I am thankful."
