Carambola Beach Resort

The Carambola Beach Resort is nestled in a lush tropical setting and is unsurpassed in providing guests with terrific service. Set in a valley, the golf course at this resort is unquestionably the finest in the Caribbean. The resort's 18-hole golf course is just a short ride away via complimentary shuttle. Swim, snorkel, scuba dive or splash about in the sparkling freshwater pool, surrounded by terraces, walkways and dazzling gardens of flowers. Lush greenery surrounds the meandering walkways, leading from the cottages to the pool with its Jacuzzi to the four turf tennis courts (you can pay to play on the five clay courts near the golf course), to the exercise room.

The resort offers 151 guestrooms in 27 two-story cottage-like buildings clad in cream-colored wood and pitched, red-steel roofs and surrounded by trees and dense flowering gardens. Red roofs shelter spacious cottage-style villa suites with terracotta tile floors and dark woods accent the rattan furnishings. Each room is equipped with a large stand-up shower, TV, hair dryer, iron and ironing board, and in-room safe. Nearby hammocks swing from trees at the sugar sand beach. You will find rocking chairs in every room look like they came straight from one of the old sugar plantations that thrived in St. Croix's agrarian heyday. Planter-style ceiling fans create a cooling breeze if you're a fresh air aficionado. Not all rooms are near the beach, although it's a quick stroll to the sand. A screened porch with built-in couches in every one of the rooms and spacious beachfront public patios provide perfect spots for entertaining the upscale guests you're likely to meet at this resort.
