This is Carambola Beach Resort
We’re checking in at Carambola Beach Resort, the beachfront gem on St. Croix’s beautiful Davis Bay, And you’re invited to join us. This is one beautiful place, so we’ve included lots of photos to entice. Built in 1986, and extensively damaged in Hurricane Maria in 2017, Carambola Beach Resort has been getting a full property renovation and makeover of its villa-style suites, restaurants, pool and grounds. It’s been a long few years and while the resort has been open, it was not until now that this iconic St. Croix resort was ready for it’s close up.
This is what the Carambola Beach Resort looks like now. The resort is situated right on the beach at Davis Bay, is built on a historic sugar plantation, surrounded by rainforest, offering endless views of the Caribbean Sea and amazing sunsets.
It’s the famous coastline and gorgeous views of Davis Bay that people love so much. The breeze is glorious, and the sunsets are spectacular.
