The staff was friendly but uninformed. We miss our original check in date due to transportation issues. We informed the front desk that we would arrive the next morning. The front desk attendant was unaware of our late check-in. We received our keys a proceeded to this dilapidated facility. The little island was. Cute but the state of the property was worse than terrible. We should have been informed that the property was under that kind of renovation. It needs a whole new overhaul. And the state of the pull out bed was a negative star. We also were not informed that we needed a number to call to get the ferry back to the hotel after midnight. My sister were stuck off property until a local man saw my sister in distress and called someone who called someone. Meanwhile I walked around that entire property and there was no one. Not the ferry driver, not security, not anyone on that property that I could see and the front desk was closed. Worse stay ever and I've been traveling for 40+ years. Two thumbs down.

Property is going through major renovations and repairs, but all the construction takes a backseat to all the beauty surrounding this island in the harbor. The staff was wonderful. Everyone was very welcoming and friendly.

This hotel doesn't offer anything complimentary other than a beach chair (I also got a free umbrella due to my week stay. Not sure if it was a special deal). My second time staying here. I picked it because its on the BEAUTIFUL Protestant Cay. Theres a great beach bar and grill. I will say I'm disappointed with the cleanliness. Dust and debris in 2 rooms before I got to the 3rd room that I ended up staying in. Disgusting dusty wicker chairs. Such a shame. They are doing construction which attributes to the dust and dirt. The King Christian hotel seems much nicer ans ypu still have the same access to everutbing on the strip amd to the beach.

This property is unique as it is on its own separate island (cay) off of St.Croix. Access is by a small ferry that is quite efficient in its pick up and drop off services. The guest check in experience was great and the host was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. There is a small gift shop onsite that has a few essentials. The beach is at your footsteps and a great bar and restaurant (grill) on the property as well. The rooms are clean and accommodating and does have all the advertised amenities (including iron and ironing board). The Wi-Fi situation leaves a lot to be desired and often drops in and out. Can you watch Tik Tok? Yes. Can you watch a movie? NO!!! Can you make WhatsApp or FaceTime call? Yes, BUT it will buffer and reconnect OFTEN! WiFi aside it’s worth a try if you are game to have a unique experience. Fun fact there are iguanas on the cay 🙂

Location was nice. But many lights were out making it unsafe to see as we arrived in the evening after dark. Staff was not helpful and even seemed bothered when asked simple questions as to who we see to show our room key so we can get the complimentary lounge chairs at the beach. Water taxi drivers were all very nice and courteous. Staff at the onsite grill was great also. Had a great view of a scaffold directly outside our balcony that didn't get used the entire 4 days we were there. Limited help, limited maintenance. This place has lots of potential but sadly falls short.

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.

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.
