“Great spot - unpretenious, clean, comfortable, great value, great owners”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 March 2009

Just spent 8 days at Cane Bay Reef from March 5th thru 13th and loved every minute. Great location directly on ocean. This is NOT a inclusive, sterile, all inclusive chain resort. If you want that---then dont go there. It is a small, clean, comfy accommodations. Unpretenious and affordable. I was in "Coconut" unit, and its a furnished 1 bedroom condo with full kitchen. The new owners, Jim, Sita and Michelle, told me that the property was slightly damaged by hurricane Omar, and the pool sprung a slow leak....but was being patched and cleaned everyday I was there. There was property maintenance of painting, (two units were being painted and refurbished) landscaping and constant housekeeping, trash pick up every morning, so I don't know why there are any negative comments here. No rodents or any other problems either.
The location is perfect with WIFI, but cell phone (sprint) wont work...but just go up road a half mile and there is a signal. It is 5 minutes from carambola Resort where I had business, 20 minutes from Christiansted and 40 minutes to Frederiksted, again all commutable. Country store up road, but "food center" is only 15 minutes away so you can get provisions and stock up. The restaurant on site (dinner happy hour only) is good with best sunsets and fun local crowd. Great lobster on Sundays! Cane Bay is also an award winning Texas Draw Poker facility with friendly games at night 3 nights a a week.
I used Olympic Rent a car who picked me up at airport and took me back.
I loved this place and will return because I have business on st croix every 8 weeks.
Try flying to San Juan, then take seaplane-seashuttle Seaborne to St. Croix. It was cheaper than a direct flight.

“RIp off- don't do it!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 March 2009

Not sure how old the photos on their website are- but they are highly inaccurate! Our room was filthy, the stove was missing one element completely and the rest of it was black. The windows were inoperable and screens just leaning in place. The deck had soft spots where you would poke thru from rot. The pool is non functional. The chairs were broken. There is no beach on the property- it's directly on the coral reefs/rocks. Stains were on the furniture, towels, and bedding. The fold out couch came with 2 moldy pillows that had no covers. We left immediately and are still trying to recover the deposit. Someone else posted a review that stated the place is one step above homeless- they're right on the money. What a nightmare!!!

“terrible, stay away”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 November 2008

the place was horrible. we stayed in the penthouse sweet which was a higher rate. the ac didn't work, the windows would not close completely, the door did not lock, the lights quit working, and there were ants everywhere. if you left a drink on the counter for 5 minutes ants were all over it. the owners weren't very nelpful either. they said we will fix it tomorrow and never did. the place is nasty. there is not a beach there either. it is about 1/4 mile down the road. do not waste your money staying here. the price may sound good, but it will ruin your vacation. stay away!!!!

“Been coming here 10 years-disagree with negative reviews”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 August 2008

people found this review helpful

My wife and I have been coming here for 10 years. Just now leaving after a week stay (with 31 yr old son) and will be returning later tSeptember for another week. The inflammatory negative posts here are way off the mark given the change of property owners. If it was as bad as portrayed, I wouldn't stay here year after year past 10 years sometimes in consecutive months. New owners, father, mother and daughter, are in process of upgrading physical aspects including resurfacing the fresh water pool. If you want a resort/all inclusive and are a clean freak like "monk" on TV-dont go here. If you are a watersports enthusiast who likes a very clean, but freshly painted rustic rooms, all kitchen suites for cooking, unpretentious people, locals and good food (food themes nightly) and like to lounge around in shorts and flip flops, come here. They even have WIFI, a Humphrey Bogart themed down home outdoor bar "Bogeys" with the best sunsets. Award winning texas draw poker nights too. Stay in rooms named coconut, pointsetia and alleanda or the room below coconut.

“One step above being homeless”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 June 2008

Do NOT stay here, you will want to commit suicide within one hour of your arrival. There were armies of rats running around outside the dumpster, there was a terrible smell coming from the restaurant/bar that just hung around 24/7. The windows were so dirty you could barely see out of them. There were bugs and cockroaches in the kitchen. There was dirty sanitary napkins lying under the bathroom cabinets. Basically it reminded me of a Whore House in the Phillipines and was actually more disguisting! The patio furniture was rotted and so was the railings. The doors did not lock and the place smelled like the bathroom door on a shrimp boat. No lie. Do NOT waste your money on this hotel.. It is a JOKE.
