We love Hotel on the Cay. It is the most wonderful place to vacation. The hotel is undergoing renovations so you will need to set that aside because you’re not in the room much anyways.

Room was clean, the young lady with the multicolored glasses was extremely nice!! The hotel is outdated but clean. The only issue is that I had to wait for the room I actually paid for...but they made an effort. Also the AC was leaking in the room but it was on my last day, so I was not really bothered. Yes I would return, knowing what to expect. The hotel has a nice beach and tasty wings.

Property is going through major renovations and repairs, but all the construction takes a backseat to all the beauty surrounding this island in the harbor. The staff was wonderful. Everyone was very welcoming and friendly.

Simple hotel, not fancy, even though it is in need of repair it was perfect for my family of 11. We reserved 4 rooms. Very clean, nice and comfortable beds. Very affordable, the beach was perfect, and the ferry was very reliable.

T treated my family to a short weekend stay at the Kay and it was lovely. The beach was beautiful and the bar alive with guest. The room was spacious enough to enjoy the beach weekend and had the basic essentials for our short stay. However, the old-empty water fountain & pool outside were eye sores, obstructing out view of the beach. But overall the beach was beautiful and for a short family stay the price was not too bad.

This hotel doesn't offer anything complimentary other than a beach chair (I also got a free umbrella due to my week stay. Not sure if it was a special deal). My second time staying here. I picked it because its on the BEAUTIFUL Protestant Cay. Theres a great beach bar and grill. I will say I'm disappointed with the cleanliness. Dust and debris in 2 rooms before I got to the 3rd room that I ended up staying in. Disgusting dusty wicker chairs. Such a shame. They are doing construction which attributes to the dust and dirt. The King Christian hotel seems much nicer ans ypu still have the same access to everutbing on the strip amd to the beach.

A perfect place if you need to relax, we had such a great time! The hotel is undergoing some major renovations, so don't expect luxuries but our bed was comfortable, the room and bathroom were clean. The beach was steps down from our room and not crowded! And the view from our balcony - priceless. We didn't really care for a glamorous hotel with a pool (didn't matter that it was closed), we wanted a beautiful beach, do some snorkeling and unwind. And this is what we had.
