Fodor's Expert Review Renaissance St. Croix Carambola Beach Resort and Spa

Editor's Note: This property is currently undergoing renovations.

We like this resort's stellar beachfront setting and peaceful ambience. The rooms are lovely, with attractive palm-theme accessories that match the resort's atmosphere. All have terra-cotta floors, ceramic lamps, mahogany ceilings and furnishings, and rocking chairs. Each has a patio and a huge bathroom (shower only). Lushly planted walkways connect the rooms and the hotel's restaurants and pool.
