  If you don't want to eat stay here

  They were completely under staffed, didn't have hardly any food to eat except the pool bar and grill we had to eat there for 7 days straight, it was ok bar food. The breakfast buffet was horrible the food was terrible

  So happy we chose Carina Bay!

  The room was perfect with a perfect view of the ocean! Staff cleaned the room everyday on our 6 night stay! The atmosphere of the pool area was relaxing and fun, NO KIDS! The hot tub was big and beautiful, salt water, my fav. We made so many fast friends, a lot of people from the Midwest and northeast, cold places. The staff were attentive and friendly! Thank you Orlando, Gregory, Bethany, Louisa and Scotty Boom Boom!!! I wish we could remember everyone’s name of the people that took such good care of us because the service was fantastic! The front desk ladies were so courteous and helpful! The food was delicious! There was a well thought out buffet every night! We had taco night, Italian night, Caribbean night! We loved the fried plantains, cod with creamy capers, jerk chicken, yellow rice and mimosas from the east end coffee shop (before 11am). We went sailing full day at Buck island with Big Beard, ATVing at West End off Rainbow Beach and kayaked with bioluminescence on salt river, no need to get the see through kayak at night. Sargassum seaweed was cleaned daily and was a part of nature. It was also minimal. If you want a sargussum seaweed free beach.. travel to another side of the island and deal with screaming kids and paying for your drinks and food. This place is a gem and we loved our stay:)

  Very relaxing beach vacation

  Just returned from Carina Bay Boutique Resort and Casino. Nice stay and we'd return, but wouldn't say it's one of our favorites. On the plus side, the resort is not huge, so you get to know all of the staff, who are all very friendly and helpful. You also get to know many of the guests. We enjoyed just hanging by the pool spending time with our fellow travelers. Not a lot of craziness, so great time to grab a chair and read a book. The pool bar and grill was great. The scenery very beautiful. On the down side, while the beach is beautiful, it's rather rocky and is inundated by sea weed. The work hard to keep it clean, but it just continually washes ashore. The food was just ok, not bad, but their website gave me very high expectations that were not met. The resort is rather remote. Great if your just wanting a quiet time by the pool and beach, but other than the casino, there's not much in the immediate area. You'll need a car or be willing to pay pretty high cab fares to get to the rest of the island. Overall, we'd definitely consider Carina Bay again, but not one of our top Caribean destinations.

  Absolutely DO NOT stay here.

  The location was good and the weather was fantastic. And that’s the last good thing I have to say about this resort. The staff was vary mediocre and seemed untrained in the hospitality industry. The food was awful. Except for the bar - the fries and burger could pass for a meal if you’re starving. That is, when you could get them. They were “out” of all sort of menu items both at the bar and the restaurant. You had to make reservations for the restaurant. Fine, truly, that’s standard. But when we tried to make a reservation for Valentine’s Day, there was no availability. You’d think they would have mentioned that when we checked in or given a heads up that we should reserve early or that it was already full and would need to dine elsewhere….instead of the all inclusive resort. On Sunday, we asked to get a cab or taxi to go shopping. The ride was fine. But they failed to mention that nearly everything is closed in town on Sunday. We would have easily changed our plans had we known. The room was surface level “clean”. Pink mold in the bathroom. When I unfolded the “clean” bath towel, it was covered in someone’s hard. Long, black curly hair. Definitely not mine. When we flagged our door/room for housekeeping, left for the day, returned to find nothing had been touched. So my husband asked at the desk for service. Which came hours later, while we were in the room. It seemed to be common practice to leave garbage, plates and trash about. We constantly saw bags of trash in the hallway. And there was a heap of discarded what seemed to be office equipment that was never touched during our 5 day stay. While this is usually high season for the island, the resort seemed to be at half capacity. And they still seemed understaffed. We couldn’t even get fresh beach towels each day. I would absolutely not recommend this resort.

  Away from it all. Good but not great. Friendly stay and great bar tenders.

  Located on the east side of St Croix. Great if you are looking for a secluded get away. There is no store on the property so if you needed sun-tan lotion, a candy bar, Tylenol, etc., you were out of luck unless you took a taxi. Friendly staff except for the lady that seated us in the restaurant the first few evenings we were there. Edmond, night shift Manager is outstanding. Rooms were clean and very quiet except for the 12:06 shooting along the highway Thursday evening. Breakfast buffet and omelets were superb. Lunch, the food was great but the bar area to order was a little small. Need another place for lunch on the property. The evening meals were good except for the nights they had a buffet. The heaters under the trays were not lit early enough so if you are a 6 or 6:30 the hot items were not hot. The salads were nice with great dressings. If you didn't gamble the evenings need a little more entertainment. Friday evening the entertainment was superb. The mini-golf course was in shambles. The course was covered with dead grass, leaves; the water pumps were not operating; there were ants crawling all thru the holes. Overall, our stay was acceptable for the price we paid. Not sure I would return unless there were some repairs done to the property. You can expect to pay $40 plus for a round-trip taxi to town or more for an excursion.
