It is nice to be able to walk in the foot steps of Laurance Rockefeller while at the same time enoy the breath taking views from the property and the secluded beach.
What I wish I
could change:
It is a 40 min drive to the island's Casino at the Divi Carina bay, but part of the attraction of this propety is being isolated. You will probably want to get a car for some of the time to see the island.
Why YOU should
go:
If you are looking for a beautifiul beach, amazing views and want to play some golf, this is paradise. Perfect for couples.
Tucked on 28 acres at the far reaches of St. Croix's north shore, Carambola Beach Resort at Davis Bay was created to celebrate the unspoiled beauty of the Caribbean by Laurance Rockefeller in 1986.

The Carambola Beach Resort is nestled in a lush tropical setting and is unsurpassed in providing guests with terrific service. The resort's 18-hole golf course is just a short ride away via complimentary shuttle. Set in a valley, the golf course at this resort is unquestionably the finest in the Caribbean.

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 rich mahongany furnishings. Each room is equipped with a large stand-up shower, TV with cable, hair dryer, iron and ironing board, and in-room safe. In addition to all room amenities, Luxury Suites are also equipped with refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, stove, dishwasher, flat-screen plasma TV with cable.
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.
