Concierge.com's insider take:
There are few U.S.V.I. beach resorts where you can gaze out on the deep blue expanse with no islands on the horizon. That edge-of-the-world solitude is what makes Carambola popular with couples and solo travelers seeking a true escape. Tucked away on St. Croix's northwestern coast, the resort has 156 rooms spread among 26 two-story buildings, with mahogany and rattan furniture, plantation-style ceiling fans, louvered doors, and screened-in sitting rooms. Your cell phone won't work, but that just adds to the "check in, check out" feeling here. Plus, there's plenty to keep you busy: a sprawling sandy beach, tennis courts, three restaurants, on-site dive shop (where you can book excursions in nearby Cane Bay), and access to a nearby Robert Trent Jones–designed 18-hole golf course, by far the island's best. The hotel's location, 30 to 40 minutes from Christiansted and Frederiksted, makes cabs impractical, so consider renting a car.
