This property is unique as it is on its own separate island (cay) off of St.Croix. Access is by a small ferry that is quite efficient in its pick up and drop off services. The guest check in experience was great and the host was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. There is a small gift shop onsite that has a few essentials. The beach is at your footsteps and a great bar and restaurant (grill) on the property as well. The rooms are clean and accommodating and does have all the advertised amenities (including iron and ironing board). The Wi-Fi situation leaves a lot to be desired and often drops in and out. Can you watch Tik Tok? Yes. Can you watch a movie? NO!!! Can you make WhatsApp or FaceTime call? Yes, BUT it will buffer and reconnect OFTEN! WiFi aside it’s worth a try if you are game to have a unique experience. Fun fact there are iguanas on the cay 🙂

Location was nice. But many lights were out making it unsafe to see as we arrived in the evening after dark. Staff was not helpful and even seemed bothered when asked simple questions as to who we see to show our room key so we can get the complimentary lounge chairs at the beach. Water taxi drivers were all very nice and courteous. Staff at the onsite grill was great also. Had a great view of a scaffold directly outside our balcony that didn't get used the entire 4 days we were there. Limited help, limited maintenance. This place has lots of potential but sadly falls short.

Simple hotel, not fancy, even though it is in need of repair it was perfect for my family of 11. We reserved 4 rooms. Very clean, nice and comfortable beds. Very affordable, the beach was perfect, and the ferry was very reliable.

T treated my family to a short weekend stay at the Kay and it was lovely. The beach was beautiful and the bar alive with guest. The room was spacious enough to enjoy the beach weekend and had the basic essentials for our short stay. However, the old-empty water fountain & pool outside were eye sores, obstructing out view of the beach. But overall the beach was beautiful and for a short family stay the price was not too bad.

We stayed one night at Hotel on the Cay so we could catch the sunrise at point udall. The property is under renovation so the pool was closed. They are working on remodeling guests rooms also. They only food was at a beach bbq shack but the food was very good. Not many guests so it was very quiet and we had an Amazing view of ocean. A complementary water taxi takes you from town to the hotel. It is very close to all the bars, restaurants and night life. We would go back and stay again.

A perfect place if you need to relax, we had such a great time! The hotel is undergoing some major renovations, so don't expect luxuries but our bed was comfortable, the room and bathroom were clean. The beach was steps down from our room and not crowded! And the view from our balcony - priceless. We didn't really care for a glamorous hotel with a pool (didn't matter that it was closed), we wanted a beautiful beach, do some snorkeling and unwind. And this is what we had.

Could be premier if they took care of the property

Long and short, time AC didn't work and Wi-Fi is either constantly disconnecting or unusably slow. There was construction materials around the front entrance and the pool was closed. If there was another hotel on the cay, this one would be closed if it remained in this condition. Now the good. Beautiful water view and 30 seconds from the beach. A short ferry ride to the board walk which is free for cay guest. Excellent if you don't mind a hot room with no Internet service with a beautiful view and access to the beach.

The property has tremendous potential but needs updating and a coat of paint. Everyone was really nice and the ride across the water was short and smooth. Fortunately repairs were underway and hopefully the next time we go it will be in much better condition.
