Carina Bay Boutique Resort & Casino vs Club Comanche Hotel, St. Croix – At a Glance

Category Carina Bay Boutique Resort & Casino Club Comanche Hotel, St. Croix
Overall Vibe Adults-only all-inclusive beachfront resort on St. Croix’s East End, with a relaxed resort pace and on-site casino energy for 21+ guests. Historic in-town hotel feel in Christiansted, better suited to travelers who want a walkable base and a less resort-driven stay.
Location Secluded East End setting at 5025 Estate Turner Hole, near Christiansted but removed enough that taxis or a rental car matter. In Christiansted, making it the more convenient choice for travelers who prefer town access over a remote beach-resort setting.
Rooms & Suites Resort accommodations for adults 18+, with the appeal centered on the all-inclusive setup, beach, pools, and on-site activities. Hotel-style rooms in a smaller town property, best for guests who plan to spend more time exploring than staying on resort grounds.
Dining All-inclusive dining and drinks at on-site restaurants and bars, with options like Italian, buffet-style meals, poolside bites, coffee, and terrace dining. Better for travelers comfortable using Christiansted as their dining base rather than relying on a full resort dining program.
Pools & Beach Two freshwater pools, including one directly on the beach, plus on-site non-motorized water sports when conditions allow. More of an in-town hotel stay than a beach-and-pool resort experience, so beach time is less built into the property.
Kids & Family Adults-only 18+ resort with no family sections or kids’ amenities; the casino is 21+ with valid ID required. A better practical fit than Carina Bay for travelers not specifically seeking an adults-only all-inclusive resort environment.
Price & Value Best value when you’ll use the included dining, drinks, pools, activities, beach setting, Wi-Fi, parking, and resort facilities. Best value when you want a simpler town-based stay and would rather pay separately for meals, outings, and island exploration.

Rooms & Suites: Adults-Only Resort Stay vs In-Town Hotel Base

  • Adults-only 18+ environment throughout the resort
  • Best for couples and adult friends who want a beach-resort stay

Dining & Drinks: Built-In All-Inclusive vs Independent Christiansted Dining

Carina Bay Boutique Resort & Casino – Restaurants & Bars

Dining at Carina Bay is one of the main reasons to choose it, since the all-inclusive plan covers food and drinks at on-site restaurants and bars, with some exclusions.

Expect:

  • Bars including the lobby bar and poolside service, with the casino bar/restaurant separate from the all-inclusive plan
  • A more self-contained dining experience for adults who want fewer off-property plans

  • More convenient for town time than for a secluded beachfront resort feel
  • Best for guests who prioritize location over resort-style beach amenities

If you want the vacation to revolve around pools, beach, and included resort activities, Carina Bay is the stronger choice.

Kids & Family: Adults-Only Resort vs More General Hotel Stay
