HOTEL . . .
Seventy percent of the traditional accommodation options Territory-wide have been impacted. However,
properties such as THE BUCCANEER on St. Croix (which opened for leisure guests on November 1), as well as
some smaller properties, private villas, Airbnb vacation rentals and yacht charters are providing accommodations
for travelers. Other hotels that are also open and welcoming leisure guests include:
ST. CROIX
CLUB COMANCHE | CARAVELLE HOTEL & CASINO | SAND CASTLE ON THE BEACH | HOTEL ON THE CAY
ST JOHN
GALLOWS POINT | ESTATE LINDHOLM | SEA SHORE ALLURE
ST. THOMAS
MARGARITAVILLE | EMERALD BEACH | POINT PLEASANT ,
A number of hotels and resorts plan to reopen in phases beginning in the spring of 2018 through winter 2019.
The inventory for major hotels on St. Thomas and St. John is limited at this time; however, a number of the
smaller properties on St. Croix are open and welcoming leisure visitors.

welcomed the return of cruise passengers
after the September hurricanes. Ships are
calling on both St. Thomas and St. Croix.
In January, St. Thomas will return to 100
percent of its pre-storm cruise schedule.
