Category Sand Castle on the Beach Club St. Croix Beach & Tennis Resort by Antilles Resorts

Location On Veterans Shore Drive in Frederiksted, St. Croix, set directly on the beach just south of town. A St. Croix beach resort option under Antilles Resorts, better suited to travelers comparing a resort-condo style stay.
Rooms & Suites Individually decorated guestrooms with kitchenettes or full kitchens, air conditioning, ceiling fans, hair dryers, and in-room coffee. Best considered if you prefer the feel of a resort residence or condo-style stay rather than a small adults-only boutique hotel.
