Inexpensive
The Frederiksted, a 40-room hotel small enough to operate
as an inn, is your best bet in this quiet town. Rooms with
double- or king-sized beds are furnished in island style,
which means colorful fabrics and rattan. Rooms are
air-conditioned and most have a harbor view. They have re-
frigerators and cable TV. Breakfast is served at the poolside
patio and so are cocktails and soft drinks. The hotel is near
the dock, several restaurants and shops. They will provide
free transportation to nearby beaches.
SANDCASTLE ON THE BEACH

Moderate
The 16-unit Sandcastle resort is on a secluded beach, one
mile south of Frederiksted. It is a 15-minute walk to town.
All the units have been tastefully decorated, have kitchens
and are air-conditioned. Most have balconies that face the
sea. New arrivals are greeted with a bottle of rum and flow-
ers, and the atmosphere is congenial, with many guests re-
turning annually. The grounds are spotless and well
maintained. There is a freshwater pool and a hot tub. The
Beach Bar & Café
serves lunch and dinner, as well as a
great Sunday brunch. Lunch offerings are burgers and
sandwiches, but dinner fare is gourmet, with pastas, fish
and homemade desserts.
