Hotels in St. Croix - Top 10

Planning a trip to St. Croix, and trying to find out which are the best hotels in St. Croix? This post will examine and rank for you the top 10 hotels in St. Croix based on reviews.

St. Croix is the largest of the U.S. Virgin Islands, the others being St. Thomas and St. John. St. Croix is not as well known or traveled as the other islands. Charlotte Amalie being the capitol an cruise ship stop ensure an abundance of tourism for St. Thomas that St. Croix doesn't enjoy. Unless of course you want to go somewhere where there are less tourists and no hoards being dumped on the shores by cruise ships. This gives St. Croix a more remote and quieter pace.



The island of St. Croix has two distinct climates as the east end of the island is very dry with not a whole lot of vegetation, whereas the west end is very lush and tropical. Similar to Maui in that the west side of Haleakala is dry and the east side is wet. It is very interesting how such small islands can have such a variable climate.

Here on this blog post as I said, I will be ranking the top 10 hotels in St. Croix. I use several review sources to provide a complete picture of how travelers have rated these hotels. I then merge the rankings together giving more weight to the hotels with more reviews to produce a very accurate ranking of the hotels in St. Croix.

There are the top 10 hotels in St. Croix. The Arawak Bay Hotel is actually a B&B but is run like a hotel and so I put it on the list as it was so highly rated. If you prefer sticking to a traditional resort hotel, the Palms at Pelican Cove or the Buccaneer would be the top choices. The hotels in St. Croix tend to be more affordable than some other Caribbean islands.

When compared to some other islands like Jamaica or Dominican Republic, St. Croix is not full of resorts to choose from. This is rather curious as the island is great, it could be restrained from developing too much due to a lack of fresh water. With no mountains to provide fresh water run-off, most of the local drinking water comes from a desalination plant.
