This place is remote relative to other parts of the island. To say that it's picturesque is an understatement! The Hotel is in an excellent location for snorkeling and scuba diving (shore diving to literally any depth without the requirement of a boat) and is at the trailhead of the most popular hike on the island to the Annaly Bay tidal pools. Notably, Carambola’s beach has been featured in multiple films, including the famous “Looking good Billy-Ray, feeling good Lewis” scene from the Eddie Murphy movie Trading Places, as well as the 1977 version of The Island of Dr. Moreau. Jessica in the dive shop was very helpful.

Pretty disappointing experience. Tho a beautiful location the beach is too rough to swim in, in 4 days our room was not cleaned. Service was friendly but poor. When we arrived at check-in time at 4 we had to wait 90 minutes to get into our room. The clerk just shrugged, said they were running behind and gave us a very limited drink coupon. The bar restaurant is limited and the tattered menus send a signal…. And disappointed the only breakfast option was a $32 buffet. Rooms are nice with lovely balconies but nice views are easy to come by here.

We had high expectations, expecting a real resort experience. However, carambola offered resort prices coupled with the best western experience. Our room had many issues so they moved us to a new room. Needless to say the second wrong also had issues. To their credit, they gave us a $200 food credit. The pool was great and we enjoyed it very much. There was a short walk to the beach but it had very limited chairs and umbrellas. The dining experience was ok, it was understaffed but the food was good. All-in-all, I’d say if you get an amazing deal and lower your expectations to a 2.5 rating, this would be a great place to stay at.

This is my second year in a row going! Great hotel with a very caring staff! The beach is to die for, and the snorkeling is great! A slice of paradise I recommend you visit.

We went there to check the beach and have lunch, the person on the entrance was very busy talking with other employees and was zero friendly to explain where to park and how access the beach - we arrived 10:40 and lunch starts at 11. - we parked outside and walked to the beach. Beach was ok, no calm as I was expecting but, beautiful place. We decided to move to another place…

I purchased a package to the Carambola Beach Resort. We had the trip of a lifetime. Carambola was everything I had hoped it would be... exotically beautiful, complete with all the amenities we wished for and staffed with caring and committed people we can't wait to see again soon. Upon our return home we immediately went online and booked another Carambola Beach Resort in 2005.

My wife and I returned from our trip to The Carambola Resort on St. Croix about two weeks ago, and we haven't stopped dreaming of it since. The property was terrific, the food was excellent, and the hotel employees were gracious and helpful. Our room was right on the beach... the surf lulled us to sleep each evening and gently woke us in the morning. A wonderful getaway...
