We traveled from Midwest United States to STX for a quick get away without our kids.  St. Croix felt tropical & remote... just the break we needed from our busy lives back home.  We stayed 2 nights at King Christian Hotel.  The hotel has been recently remodeled with aesthetically pleasing decor donning chic, vintage, & modern vibes.  I, personally, loved all the tropical colors & ornate tiled flooring giving the hotel a very boutique feel.  The front desk staff welcomed us warmly with complimentary rum punch cocktails at check-in.  The pool was clean & refreshing and conveniently opens up to the bar at El Leon should you like to enjoy cocktails by the pool.  Every morning, the housekeeping staff paused to greet us "good morning" & wished us well on our daily adventures.  We took advantage of the hotel being located right on the Christiansted Boardwalk.  The boardwalk overlooks the Christiansted Harbor with close proximity of many restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, & historical sites all within walking distance of the hotel.  Adjacent to King Christian is El Leon restaurant, where you can enjoy scratch-made meals prepared with fresh ingredients.  Breakers Roar Tiki Bar, also attached to the hotel, offers craft cocktails served in unique Tiki inspired vessels.  We visited the Tiki bar 2x while staying at King Christian with Saturday night being our favorite bar experience listening to Caribbean style Karaoke with DJ DeeDee.  Visit the Tiki Bar early for Happy Hour drink special!  

A few things to know before your visit:  
The hotel doesn't offer parking; however, there is free parking just a couple blocks away (the front desk can direct you where to park).  You can temporaily park right outside the hotel entrance to unload your bags while the front desk will hold them upon your return from parking your car.  

There is a water ferry you can board right outside the hotel that runs about every 15-30min shuttling guests to The Hotel on the Cay.  From the Boardwalk, you can see The Hotel on the Cay located on a small island in the Christiansted harbor.  The hotel has a restaurant/bar & beach you can enjoy.  We were told you can get good food, drinks, & listen to live music on Sundays.  This is a great place to watch the sunset while staying in Christiansted!

Outside of the Boardwalk area, Christiansted is a bit depressed & worn down after taking a beating from back to back hurricanes Irma & Maria years ago.  We felt safe walking around town during the day, but we stayed close to the hotel & Boardwalk at night as there are dark alleyways & vacant storefronts around town.  St. Croix is not known for "glitz & glamor", but if you're into history, Danish architecture, touring old sugar mills, Cruzan Rum, scuba/snorkeling a national reef, & plenty of adventure, then plan a trip to STX!  If you are looking for 5 star resort accommodations & commercialized amenities, then you may want to venture to a different island other than St. Croix.  We had a fabulous time on STX & made memories to last a lifetime, but everyone enjoys an island vacation for different reasons.

Quick Get-Away without the Kids!

My wife and I arrived at this hotel around midnight the first day of our stay. Exhausted we went straight to bed. As we walked in the door we did notice a musty smell and being a GC I knew it was mold. We woke up the next morning to bugs all over the floor of our room. I looked up inside the AC unit and sure enough there was the presence of mold. The staff didn't do anything about it. The pool was closed 2 out of the 5 days we were there. Breakers Roar tiki bar closed. Mexican restaurant that was supposed to be open for lunch. closed. The coffee place this hotel owns, the staff is incredibly rude. I tried to tip the girl one time and laid money down and coughed and said excuse me and made me put the money in her hands then rolled her eyes and put it in the jar. Mind you this is our 10 year anniversary trip. Upon checkout I paid what was supposed to be my balance less the $500 deposit they took weeks prior and when I looked at my AMEX. When I looked yesterday I had the deposit charge from weeks ago and two more charges from the 25th one of the total stay $1,300 and then they were in the process of charging me another $500 that was pending. I contacted the hotel and they said they would refund me $500 but they're obviously hitting me for another $500 as we speak. When I addressed this, I got no response. This is predatory billing and fraud. Just because they need a CC for a hotel stay doesn't give them the permission to charge it randomly and at will. You can't stay here it's going to be the worst week or days of your life. I'm still fighting to get my money back. If you have deposits rethink your stay, cancel them. The elevator doesn't work and we had to lug all our luggage up 3 flights of stairs. The pictures online, the Insta is pretty. The experience is not. You literally cannot stay here. Off to go dispute charges due to predatory billing. Bring bug spray if you choose to stay and damp rid and bottle of Clorox.

You simply can't come here

If, like me, you like to drink water when you get hot, then this is not the hotel for you.  If, like me, you like to have a cup of coffee when you wake up in the morning, then this is not the hotel for you.  If, like me, you like to sit on your balcony at the end of the day and have a drink, then this is not the place for you.  
The hotel tells you not to drink the water.  Two bottles are provided in your mini fridge, but when I went down to the front desk on my second night and asked for more, I was told the hotel provides two free bottles upon arrival.  After that you have to buy it.  BUT, they don't sell water at the front desk.  I told her that I needed to take my meds in the morning, and she just shrugged.  I ended up going in to the bar at El Leon and told the bartender my sad tale.  She gave me two bottles of water and charged me 4$ each.
The room has an ice bucket, but no glasses.  No coffee maker.
When we arrived at 3 pm, our room was not ready.  The front desk called the maid and asked her to hurry up and finish it.  Unfortunately, she didn't change the towels and when I finished showering the next morning, my towel had makeup on it.
The elevator was not working all the while we were there so dragging your suitcase up two to three flights can be tricky.
During the day, some sort of construction was going on and a very loud machine (generator?) ran from early morning until end of work day.  It made it hard to relax around the pool.
Location is excellent, rooms are beautiful, view from the balcony is incredible, but everything else was very disappointing considering the price we paid.
Would we go back?  Nope.

NOT WHAT IT'S CRACKED UP TO BE.....

Hotel was in a perfect location although finding nearby parking was a nightmare (not exclusive to this hotel). Staff was friendly, pool was beautiful, and the food connected to and nearby was outstanding. I would definitely stay here again.

Excellent Stay

Wonderful hotel, we had a room overlooking the bay, Great sunsets from our balcony. The staff was very friendly and helpful. If we return to St Croix, this will definitely be the place we will stay at again. 

Wonderful Hotel in St Croix

Nicely renovated. Room was small-ish and overall pretty basic (shampoo, body wash,  conditioner,  hairdryer, no in room coffee maker), but the balcony was a great extension of the room.  No immediate beach access but the short, free ferry ride across to the Hotel on the Cay Beach is worth a trip (Beach, beach bar and good snorkeling). Housekeeping staff was warm and friendly,  front desk was always attended.  Location can't be beat for easy access to Carribean Sea Adventures, multiple diving shops, shopping and many food options on the Boardwalk. We rented a car and were able to find free parking nearby everyday-  although occasionally  this required a little more patience and searching. 

Location, location, location

Absolutely in love with our stay at King Christian, room was wonderful with a comfortable bed and super trendy decor. We had a lovely balcony with a great view and it was quiet despite being “downtown”. Black out curtains were wonderful and air condition worked perfectly. Staff was welcoming and helpful and even was able to get us last minute reservations! The location is convenient and the affiliated restaurants are wonderful as well. This is definitely a wonderful place to stay!

Trendy, Clean, Convenient Location

I have been coming weekly on business for a few months. Rooms have been renovated. Staff is friendly and they recently opened a great mexican restaurant. On thw waterfront close to restaurants and bars

Great choice

The King Christian Hotel, restaurants, creamery, and bar are very nice, convenient, and the staff are very friendly.  My favorite is the Breakers Roar Tiki Bar, a themed bar that has so much to look at while you enjoy one of their tasty cocktails.  Joslyn, the hotel manager, had top notch customer service and was kind enough to give us a tour.  The area is being revitalized and it is exciting to see all the new additions when we come back, which we definitely will be returning.  Thank you everyone at the King Christian for making our stay so much more enjoyable.

Wonderful stay!

Rooms, beds and the personnel were awesome. The restaurant was just delicious. Close to the boardwalk and all the good night life. It was a business trip but will bring my family next time.Definitely will come back again soon.
