This 12-acre resort is located on Pelican Beach in a residen-
tial suburb, just three miles north of Christiansted.
Pelican Beach Hotel occupied this spot until 1986 when
Wally and Robbie Bregman, a dynamic couple, bought it and
molded it into a chic resort. Hurricane Hugo forced the
Bregmans to sell the hotel but the new management team
has maintained the casually elegant style.

Though the owners are gay, the hotel
draws both gay and straight guests.
The beach is lined with towering palms, and hammocks are
strung between many of them. There is a fine reef just off-
shore and the hotel has a good-sized, oddly shaped pool, as
well as tennis courts.
The 40 rooms are in two bi-level buildings along the beach.
They are large, with a king-sized bed or two double beds and
bold floral prints and cane furniture. Rooms, all with ter-
races or patios, face the beach. There are four penthouse
suites as well.
The poolside restaurant serves all three meals and, while
the menu is limited, it focuses on fresh fish, grilled meats
and Caribbean specialties. Local bands play at the Carib-
bean barbecue buffet and there is live entertainment several
nights a week.
