When I got the package I was thinking that the Resort was close to the airport but I have a big trouble when me and my daughters got to Saint Thomas and we have to take a sea plane to get to this other island and I have to pay more money to get there I was very disappointed.

We were going to stay one night before moving onto our condo and our flight was cancelled due to weather. Contacted Expedia to get a refund and they called the hotel which denied the refund. I have trip insurance but that’s just dirty business in my opinion when it comes to customer service because this was uncontrollable on my part.

First off , everyone was very nice ! They just have a lot to figure out ! Restaurant has a Vermonter breakfast and Dinner is just bar food ! No real cocktail list either! Garbage around on property but our room was very clean! Just very outdated resort! It was in such a great quiet area but it had no swimmable beach! I did not know this when booked . We felt very safe here but our room was not super private. Loved hearing the waves in our room and the entertainment. Right when we got in our room , the cleaning products they use burned my eyes ! Had to open doors for about fifteen minutes to air it out! Very little pressure in shower and very small bathroom ! We loved Lala though who took good care of us!😉

The resort is beautiful, but the restaurant & pool areas were constantly dirty. The table cloths were deplorable and the chairs and floors are dirty. It appears like no one cleans these areas daily. No toothpaste was provided and there was no where to purchase it on the premises.

The only reason i didn't give 5 stars was the fact that i needed to go to another beach because the access to the beach at the resort was not safe to swim in due to rocks. Everything else was fantastic.

Beautiful views and clean room. Room service was efficient and tidy. Restaurant on premises was convenient and offered breakfast included with room rate (actually $20pp food credit, with most menu items approx $20pp). Lunch and dinner was limited menu and slow service—not a big problem if you’re enjoying the ocean views and breezes. On site tennis courts were serviceable and provided a nice recreation. Hotel is very convenient 5min walk to Green Cay Marina. Room walls are thin so be prepared to hear your neighbors conversations.

The rooms are located within sixty feet of the ocean with beautiful sites and sounds right outside your back door. There are sitting areas throughout the resort to enjoy with above average dining and drinks available onsite with a friendly staff. The facility is a bit dated but worked perfectly considering the amount of travel we did exploring the island.

Staff was rude and didn’t understand the property. One worker followed me back to the parking area to move my car (after 9 hours of traveling) on a golf cart. She didn’t offer me a ride but snarked at me that I didn’t have to move quicker for her. She was the one cleaning my room I later learned. Tried to find the laundry facility but no one who worked there had any clue where it was. People that worked there also didn’t know the gym code. It was an awful experience due to staff.

This was my second stay in St Criox. Last time I stayed at another place. Tamarind Reef resort was lovely. The room was very cute. The view from the patio was incredible. They give you a $20 per person credit for breakfast at the adjacent restaurant. The food and service was great. Our coffee maker wasn’t working so the very nice housekeeping lady brought her personal coffee pot to our room. She said we’re in paradise and should enjoy ourselves and not to worry about her coffee. So kind. The bar has all kinds of events. The beach is really rocky. You should plan a trip to the west side of the island if you want calmer less rocky beaches. Regardless the view from the rooms patio was phenomenal, staff was great, room was nice and clean, food was good, location was great

From the moment I was checking in there was a problem. The front desk person said they would only accommodate me from 2 nights although I paid for 4 nights. She said the management would call Expedia and they would probably have to move me to a new hotel. (Super inconvenient) she said they would call me to let me know. The next day I returned to the front office and the front desk person said that all was good with my reservation. I received a call the following day asking why my belongings were still in the room. (WTH) I had to leave the beach where I received the call to straighten things out at the resort. The manager accommodated us however it left a super bad impression on my stay in St. Croix. Never again will I stay at the resort and probably not come back to St. Croix.

The staff was friendly and accommodating; however if you arrive on a Thurs or Friday you must make reservations at the hotels restaurants. Both on the grounds. They did not tell us that and it was uncomfortable(encounter to be denied seating) as the area is very dark to drive with winding hillside roads. Think about visiting an unknown area and having to search for dinning with an 81 year old individual! Let people know. In addition to that the breakfast cook(burnt pancakes everyday). No bueno!

Thank you for taking the time to write a review and sharing you experience. We are sorry to hear that the restaurant was not able to accommodate you on those nights. We would have loved to be made aware of the burnt pancakes while you were here so it could have been addressed on day one with the restaurant manager. Nevertheless we will still address it on your behalf. We hope you do keep us in mind for any future trips to St. Croix.

Good value for the money. The rooms were clean and maintained well. The restaurant and bar staff are excellent and accommodating. This is not an all inclusive but the prices were not out of control. We went to the Buccaneer for golf and lunch and didn’t see why it was almost 500$ more per night then the Tamirand. Great time!

All the staff were wonderful, friendly. After just a day we felt like we'd been there before. Having the sea just off our patio was amazing. The room was always cleaned promptly and well done. They even found a coffee pot for us so we could have coffee every morning on the patio. The restaurant, The Deep End, was great. Food always good. Bingo night was a blast. Prices reasonable. Overall, our experience was relaxed and very enjoyable.

Second time at this property. This time the service was much improved - awesome in fact. The rooms all have a fabulous view over the water. The restaurant breakfast was great. But there were a few niggles. The music at the restaurant each night was incredibly loud - I could hear the throbbing beat in our room. But the entertainment finished promptly at 9pm so we just went out for dinner each night. And the noise from the guests upstairs at 5am on two mornings - I don't know if they were elephants or the floors were very thin - was overwhelming. I stay in a lot of hotels and have not been unable to sleep because of noise upstairs. The restaurant offers a theme night each night - reminded me of a cruise ship which I think appeals a lot to folks. We had the Expedia VIP which meant $10 was taken off the breakfast per guest. Breakfast was GREAT by the way - who can beat the view and the food was excellent. However some days they only took $10 off for the two of us and others $20 ($10 each - which is how they explained it at check-in). I'm thinking some folks hadn't read the memo but we didn't kick up a fuss. Everyone on staff there was so nice and friendly. And again, eating breakfast with that view? Hard to beat. If we find ourselves there again, we're asking for upstairs room even though the ones downstairs have kitchens and were a kind Expedia upgrade. And in the block as far from the restaurant as possible just to enjoy some tranquil quiet.

Just to start off, this was our first trip to St. Croix. We read lots of reviews about the hotels on the island. We set out with goals in mind and tried to pick a property that met or was easily attainable with nearby attractions. Our goals: Beach Front Rooms, Golfing, Spa, nearby food, in room kitchen, entertainment. Rental car was easy right at the airport. Let me say, spend the money and rent a car. You will be happy you did. There’s a lot to do and taxis are hard to get. On our drive to the resort we passed a grocery store (Plaza Extra East) and I would recommend using it. Anything you need is in store and they give you vouchers for gas. check in was really easy. Staff was friendly. Not wanting to cook after a long day we headed down to the bar/pool (Deep end) area to check menus and grab a cocktail. Upon arriving the place was packed, but not uncomfortably. Plenty of staff, and friendly. Food was delicious, I think we ate there 6 meals total. Prices were reasonable and every night they have entertainment. Of the nights we went down there we saw: fire dancers, learned to salsa dance, played disco bingo with cash prizes, had a limbo competition, and some good bands and dj’s. The buildings look dated but everything on the island looks the same. Room was spacious and clean. Has kitchenette and safe in room. I highly recommend Tammarind if you enjoy relaxation and modest fun. Not a party resort. It was everything we wanted. Just booked again!
