“Loved the seclusion”

We booked the "luxury" room, which we found out was in the new/renovated construction. The room was beautiful, with bamboo floors, blue tile, and a large balcony that was just steps from the water. Get accustomed to "island time" right away, because here, it gets done when it gets done, and not a moment sooner! But that's the point of vacation, right? While service is slow and the grille/coffee shop is rarely open, the poolside/beach bar seemed to be always open, albiet service is slow. But time doesn't matter in this beautiful setting. The food is fantastic, and very reasonably priced. Having travelled to many destinations, from New York, to Vegas, to Chicago, to London, I was quite stunned that the prices here were so reasonable, considering the location.

The beach: sand beach, but small, with sea grass close to the shore for most of the stretch. Water and currents too rough for good snorkeling. Take a buck island tour to get the best of that. Hammocks span palm trees, making for fantasy moments, taking in the sun and shade or the moonlight.

The toys: while someone was always on staff at the rental hut, we found that not much was functional. None of the sunfish sailboats were operable, nor were any of the wind surfing equipment, so we couldn't take advantage of those lessons or tours. You could rent a sit on top kayak if you wanted, but that was about it. Snorkel gear and scuba tours are available from the onsite dive shop.

The pool and hot tub: mostly cloudy and not inviting looking. But the bar and deck overlooking the sea were worth the trip.

The casino: definately not a vegas type casino. No penny slots, and the slots they had were older, three reel, single line play. Staff was friendly, if addressed directly, but all seemed to be a largely shy or subdued people. Mood was generally upbeat, but mostly from the patrons and not the staff.

Hotel staff: thorough, friendly when addressed directly, calm.

Overall, a wonderful stay, and exactly what I was looking for after a year of the corporate bustle. Rent a car to explore, and getting used to driving on the left side only takes a few minutes. Drive slowly, as the roads are largely unmarked and narrow, but the views are breathtaking and fulfilling. It was wonderful to visit this island and explore all of it, without the surf shops and tourists and airplanes pulling obnoxious banners over the beaches. A true island paradise, and Divi a wonderful home base.

“A 3-star hotel at best”

Three night stay last month. Room clean but in need of paint -- and tile in shower in poor shape. Very difficult to get service at the outdoor bar ~ tried to order dinner twice(at the bar) and no wait staff visible for 1/2 hour. I finally walked into kitchen to find someone. Room service quite speedy, however. No shops or restaurants within walking distance from the hotel.

“Loved It!”

2/2 found this review helpful

We have just returned from a week vacation in St. Croix and stayed at the Divi Carina Resort from 2/19-2/25. The resort is on the eatern tip of the island and it is very secluded especially during the winter break travel. Our room was facing the beautiful caribbean ocean and a view ot the breathtaking mountainside.
The entire stay was very relaxing despite having problem with our luggage in San Juan. We were treated with very friendly and very couteous staff especially the hardworking crew at the Dockside Cafe. I just have to mention Kevin Jackson (GM) for being a good hearted person. The food were very good and served in large portions. The beach were to die for , white sandy beach overlooking the blue caribbean ocean in a quiet relaxing atmosphere. Don't forget to bring a lot of suntan lotion since the sun is too hot just like in Hawaii. We have chosen this resort compare to other places for a real get away besides some bad reviews and guess what? Having to enjoy your entire vacation with at the Divi Carina Resort with your family is PRICELESS!

3/4 found this review helpful

Arrived at the hotel at 8pm ,got to our room and walked out to the balcony overlooking the beach and said to my wife "wow this is great" .Until the next morning when we went for breakfast .Breakfast is normally buffet style but you can order ala carte ,we decided to order ala carte asked for cofee with my breakfast and waited like 20 minutes ,waitress never came back so we asked another waitress for coffee and finally got it ,breakfast came 15 minutes later cold. Later in the morning I saw another waitress and told her the service was horrible she in turn told the manager and the manager came to see me and squashed the bill. Two days later at the other restaurant we also waited 20 minutes to get waited on and at both locations it was not that busy. The hotel is very far away from other restaurants so your pretty much stuck at eating at these two places unless you rent a car . Also they advertise a coffee shop which is never opened. The beach was clean but the water was pretty rough all week the pool water was pretty cloudy the hot tub was full of sand .Would not go to this Hotel again

2/3 found this review helpful

We stayed at Divi 3/11 - 10/11 in one of the villas (found a great bargin on ebay) and had a brilliant time..the staff was friendly at reception even though we got there quite late in the evening and the people who worked in the resturant was excellent..the villa was clean and tidy...and i loved the beach..the only complaint i had was that there was too much of a climb to get to the villa's but other than that...it was all good...will visit again
