Arawak Bay the Inn at Salt River

NOT a boutique hotel! I can only recommend it as semi adequate accommodations for scuba diving. If you are not on St. Croix for diving, DO NOT STAY HERE because you WILL regret it! Piss poor excuse for a swimming pool and not near anything, including a beach You cannot safely walk anywhere due to narrow no sidewalk roads and will need to drive everywhere. Forget hanging out by the pool because its small, ugly and uninviting. Avoid Avoid! Also, the maid kept making the bed with bedspread under the sheet. Even though we reversed it, the next day she put it back to bedspread under sheet. Other members of our group had same experience. When we mentioned it to front desk, the woman said, "We make all the beds that way."

I called earlier on arrival day and talked to the proprietor about arriving by ten pm. All seemed ok. Then we arrived and could not get in. They had NOT sent the code. I used the red phone that was supposed to connect with office people. It rang but I could not connect with anyone. Our phones were useless because of poor cell service. We waited. After an hour we drove to find another hotel, and cell phones COULD work, and finally connected with proprietor. Only to find out wifi codes not listed. Had to call again on that. Midnight, we were settled. Good breakfast, though.

We stayed a week and really enjoyed it. Staff was friendly as were other guests. Location lets you get to anywhere on the Island and especially Cane Bay. Modest accomodations but everything you need at a very reasonable price. Super clean and well maintained. The complimentary hot breakfast was a great way to start the day. Ocean view from the balcony was inspiring.
