St Croix Hotels, Resorts, and Accommodations

St Croix Hotels: What sort of place should you choose?

You'll encounter a wide array of choices in accommodations on St Croix. There are several high-end luxury resorts and a number of small and medium sized hotels and inns.

You'll also find a wide selection of condominium resorts, as well as private vacation homes and villas. You can even stay at a campground!

So how do you choose?

Start by deciding what areas and attractions on St Croix you'll want to explore. Of course, your budget is also something you need to consider.

If you're staying for more than a few days, you may want to consider staying in a couple of different St Croix hotels on different parts of the island.

Of course, your personal taste is also important. Do you prefer the large size and array of activities at a big resort? Or the intimate, homey setting of a small inn?

Do you prefer to be in the heart of town, or right on the beach? Or maybe the "home away from home" convenience of a rental condo or villa?

Note: All rates quoted are for the high-season; low-season rates will be about 60% to 75% of high rates. Remember to add 8% hotel tax and (in most cases) a 10% service charge to the rates.
