My wife and I stayed a week and had the opportunity to get to all four corners of the island. It was worth getting a rental car. We feel fortunate to have "blindly" selected Divi Carina Bay for our stay. They boast the largest Casino on St. Croix and had several activities available daily. The food was good and had some variety. Drinks were generous. There was a little bit of seaweed on the beach but they made a point of cleaning it up daily. All in all a relaxing vacation. As for the rest of the Island: Christianstead has the best daily shopping. The Boardwalk is nice w/ a lot of history at the fort at the end. The purple Papaya is the biggest souvenir shop we found and plenty of waterfront drinks and dining. Fredrickstead is where the Cruise Ships come in. Second best shopping area. A little better when there's a ship at the pier. There's also another Fort in town. I'd recommend the Ruff Night Bar for a cold one. It's a hole in the wall that doubles as a dog rescue. The pier is only accessible to the public when the cruise ships are out, but there are a lot of tide pools nearby. Other P.o.I., Point Udal? the Eastern most point in the U.S. The Rain Forest was OK and the beer drinking pigs were fun, but the roads up there are pretty rough, and that's compared to pot holes every few hundred yards for the rest of the island. I'd pass on the Lighthouse in the Northwest corner, it's basically a one story warehouse, Gecko's, Deer, Pelicans, and ferret-like Mongoose a plenty. ENJOY
