Deluxe Beachfront Resorts and Caribbean Vacation in St. Croix

For a secluded island getaway, visit Divi Carina Bay Beach Resort in St. Croix. The island is laid-back with a strong Dutch influence and unique colorful architecture.

Divia Carina Bay Beach Resort offers so much to do, too! The resort is home to the US Virgin Island's very first casino on St. Croix with unlimited entertainment and world-class gaming. Also, visitors of St. Croix will enjoy amenities, such as an onsite scuba diving center, watersports and much more!

If this sounds good to you, then the fact that Divi Carina Bay Beach Resort was recently nominated as one of the Caribbean's Best Large Hotels by Caribbean Travel and Live Magazine will further entice you to book now for your Caribbean vacation.
