Just wanted to write you a quick note to say thanks for everything. We had a blast, it was the best decision we’ve made in awhile, to come to St Croix. And we’re really glad we chose the Hibiscus to stay at - perfect spot for our “Getaway”, and did we need it. Jon was truly exhausted, and it was great to just lay in the hammocks and just relax and forget about everything! The weather was great and the folks there couldn’t have been friendlier. Lucinda at the desk was a doll, she asked us every morning if we wanted fresh beach towels. I’ve tried duplicating Sarah’s exotic drinks since we got back, but you know, they just don’t taste the same without that St Croix island ambience! Thanks again for everything, we’ll certainly make plans to come back next year! Pam and Jon |
Hi Marc, Glad to hear you’re still at Hibiscus and working to improve an already great place to stay. Liz and I were your guests last year in February. We own a condo next door to your place but stayed with you as our unit was actually rented! Liz and I hope to someday get to spend more time at our actual condo and become “neighbors” but until then, we’ll be sure to stay with Hibiscus if our unit isn’t available. One of the great things about Coral Princess is how close it is to Hibiscus, with your fantastic beach and the wonderful H2O. We’ve been visiting STX for 10 years and find your place to be among the best on the island. H2O has great food, a great view of a beautiful beach, and wonderful staff to bring it all together. We’re actually like family when we get down there, everyone knows us so well. It’s also been a great location for getting out to explore the island, quick and easy to and from the airport. Our room was fine but the great view draws you outside and we don’t spend a lot of time inside. With the beach, shady palms, and blue water just steps away, why resist diving in. We always find the Hibiscus staff to be friendly and helpful, and the facilities well cared for. Until we can finally move in down the road we’ll consider Hibiscus our home away from home. Talk to you soon and see you in Feb 09! Robin and Liz |
Hi Marc, I wanted to drop a few lines to thank you for a wonderful stay. This was a very relaxing place and your personal touch of offering to take me by a store for beverages was a thoughtful and much appreciated touch. I really enjoyed Elizabeth’s at H2O as well and had three breakfasts and three dinners in this casual but delicious restaurant on your premises. Your hospitality and quick email turnaround will definitely have me recommending the Hibiscus if anyone I know is headed that way. Best regards, your very relaxed guest Theresa |
| Guest Comments August 2008 “Friendly staff, Great food, Excellent Service” My husband and I had a great experience staying at the Hibiscus Beach Hotel. The entire staff was so friendly and very helpful. What a great room, right beside the ocean, where we could hear the sound of the waves, even at night. The weather was even perfect every day. Their restaurant H2O has an excellent menu, really good food. Our overall experience was excellent. We would definately visit St Croix again and stay at the Hibiscus Beach Hotel. GB |
For our first visit to St Croix, we stayed at Hibiscus Beach Resort. Our room was just steps from the beautiful white sand beach, and from the room's balcony, the refreshing breeze coming in from the ocean was as soothing as the sounds of the gentle waves hitting the nearby shore. The food at the onsite restaurant, Elizabeth's at H2O, was a culinary delight. Hibiscus is ideally located on the north side of St Croix only a short drive from Christiansted. With Hibiscus and St Croix, we feel like we have found our perfect rest and relaxation location to get away from it all, take it easy, and enjoy the beauty that it affords. We are looking forward to our next visit. Richard and Patty, Dallas |
We have only been back home a short while and already we miss the Hibiscus and St Croix! We’ve stayed at a couple of other hotels on St Croix in the past, but I’m certain that we’ll be staying at the Hibiscus from now on. I have not stopped thinking about our vacation. Despite the fact that the weather is getting warmer here in Pennsylvania, the sun will never feel quite as wonderful as it does when we’re on St Croix, and the view will never be as beautiful as it is from our room at Hibiscus! Best regards til we see you again! Jim and Margie |
| I recently stayed at your lovely little establishment and I had to write you a letter about my visit. Let me say that I was pleasantly surprised. I am an avid Trip Advisor reader and although I take some reviews with a grain of salt, especially the very negative ones, I still like to be cautious. I think what convinced me was actually speaking to your Director of Operations Marc before I ever decided to go ahead and make the reservations. It’s a shame that more people who have positive experiences don’t take the time to write about them. I definitely had a positive experience. I’m glad I made my choice for my husband and I to stay at the Hibiscus. The island itself is unlike the other US Virgin Islands, St Croix has a charm all its own. A relaxed comfortable beach, great tours, pleasant LOW KEY shopping villages and some really great restaurants. Especially H2O, the hotel restaurant. We had a phenomenal dinner three times. The service was really good for an island. I’ve been to others where it’s very slow. It was a very welcoming experience. The hotel was different than what we normally stay in. We usually do a Radisson or Westin or a bigger chain property. St Croix does not have that. Hibiscus has all the charm of a large property, though, without the attitude. It’s definitely more “boutique” and you can tell. And when I say that, it’s a good thing. It has the “feel” of a very casual & relaxed, comfortable boutique type establishment. Your front desk staff was very personable. Even the maintenance guy Jorge climbed a tree and cut a coconut for us – thank him again for us! The beach, the island, the people all treated us wonderfully. I don’t want to make it sound like I’m SO particular, but I’m just saying that I was pleasantly pleased. For a small property, it has a charm and warmth. We felt very comfortable and we will be back. All the best for continued success! Judith C. |

| LOTS OF THANKS & BIG HELLO'S TO THE HIBISCUS STAFF Wednesday, October 14, 2009 Marc - We are back home here and shivering since the night we got off the plane !! Gerry & I cannot thank you and the staff at Hibiscus - Gary, Lucinda, Rashima, & Sarah - for everything that they did for us !! And, don't worry about the renovations. We were able to see, first hand, as guests all the good things that are happening at Hibiscus. John & Michelle have great thoughts about keeping the place attractive to every and all guests. Kudos to them, too !! Crossing my fingers that Gerry has a job by next year so that we can come and fully enjoy all the fruits of your labor to update Hibiscus. Somehow, we will make it there !! Again, thank you for your kind thoughts and see you next year !!! |
10-9-09. Must compliment the service. Have to say your bartenders are great. Was a joy to watch them in action... helpful, informative, & unique. From your happy patrons, Larry & Joan 10.10.09 |
Hello, all! I wanted to drop you all a line to say hello and to thank you so much for our wonderful stay at the Hibiscus. The resort was just beautiful and the staff couldn't have been more wonderful! I was apprehensive at first because in my experience a hotel room never looks in person like it looks in the brochure. Not the case with the Hibiscus! When we opened the door i saw exactly what I was expecting to see plus some! The room was so warm and inviting and comfortable! And the view was out of this world! I've always been one to sleep in, but I couldn't wait to wake up every morning to step out on our patio and watch the ocean while enjoying a great cup of coffee. I wanted you all to know that we ate at many different restaurants while we were on St. Croix and can say without hesitation that Elizabeth's H2O was by far one of the best. The food and service were phenomenal! In fact everything in St. Croix was phenomenal. Leaving our last day was a deeply emotional experience. We felt like we were leaving pieces of ourselves behind. We've been back in "the real world" for a month now and still desperately miss everything about St. Croix. Don't be surprised to see us there on a permanent basis in the not so distant future! Oh, and please tell Lucinda the Turners say hello! And I hope she found lots of fun stuff to do on her vacation with her granddaughter and has a great trip! I've included some links to my photo albums posted on my Facebook account. Please feel free to check them out and even add me as a friend! One more time, thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts for helping make our vacation so very very special. Trent & Mary Beth |
Dear Marc, My daughters had a great time and were able to do all that they set out to do. Rachel hopes to come back again. It was really nice of you to take them into town and save them a taxi expense for that trip. They had a great flight home - no bad weather and no delays. Got all of our pics developed and have relived our trip over and over already. I'm sure we'll look at them many more times and yearn to be back on that beautiful island. Well, guess this is it. Again, if we're ever back to St. Croix you will see us again. We really liked Hibiscus and all the staff. Thanks for everything. Tammy W. |
Hello Marc: Just wanted to send a note to say we had a wonderful time while at Hibiscus. Your staff is wonderful and took good care of us. Hope your restaurant remodel continues to going well. M. Kamin |
Hey Marc, yes, it's OK if you use my comments on your website. I feel the personal service there was not what we would have received at a larger resort. The small, comfortable look on the web page is what made us decide to come to Hibiscus. We aren't the kind of people who are into the marble, huge columns, fancy dining halls, etc. that we were finding on the other hotel sites - and believe me, we DID check every single hotel's web site to find exactly what we wanted. I will also post some good comments on TripAdvisor and Travelocity. I had also read comments on these sites so I would imagine others would also. May you have a wonderful prosperous tourist season this year. Thanks again. Tammy W. |
Email from Denise L. i just wanted to say thank you for a wonderful time. shawn and i stayed there a couple weeks ago and everyone was super. we absolutely loved our time there. the staff was very nice and hospitable. we loved our room. the view was beautiful. thank you again for such a wonderful time. we would definitely come back! |
| Card sent to us Aug 4, 2009: Dear Marc and wonderful Staff, Just a card to thank all of you for our stay there at the Hibiscus. I still dream about our stay there in St Croix. It was you and your staff that made our vacation perfect. I got some wonderful pictures of the Hibiscus Beach and our room. We have told all our friends, teachers and friends at the YMCA where Rene and I attend, about the Hibiscus. Every night Renee and I sat out on the beach and every night we wish we were still there in St Croix. (We are headed to Canada now, so take care and God Bless.) Greg & Jill – Greenwood, IN |
Marc, thanks so much for all the wonderful staff you have. You all were so helpful, friendly, courteous and delightful to be around. Angela in the restaurant started our day off right every morning. And no matter which young lady was in the office at any given time, they all went out of their way to make our trip enjoyable. The maid service was wonderful - it was always nice to come into a relaxing - the color scheme quite tranquil - just a totally relaxing experience. You should be proud of all Hibiscus has to offer. Hope to be able to visit again sometime down the road. Thanks again. Tammy W. PS - our daughters are eagerly awaiting their arrival on Sunday! |
Tuesday, July 14, 2009 Dear Marc, Just wanted to drop you a line and thank you again for the fabulous time we had at the resort. Your helpfulness and warmth truly enhanced our experience and made us feel at home. The same is true for all the staff in the resort and at Elizabeth's. The experience was unforgettable. Also, the wedding turned out beautifully! We viewed the DVD after coming home and were very pleased. Have a wonderful day, and we hope to see you again soon in St. Croix. Yours truly, Ann and Brian |
| Friday, July 3, 2009 Thanks Mark, I was going to send you and your staff a little thank-you note from Jackie& I - we enjoyed every phase of our trip and Jackie was very much impressed with your rooms---you staff was always most courteous and we enjoyed every minute and hoping to come back - Thanks again for helping make a great trip for us --- You might ask for your island leaders to work on the road to Point Udall --- btw, 107 in Dallas yesterday--enjoy your weather and life—Buddy |
Hi Hibiscus, just getting around to emailing. I attached a picture so you can remember who we are. Just wanted to let you all know, we had a wonderful time. It was our first trip to St. Croix. We loved everything about our trip, we did not have one unfavorable thing to say about it. We will definitely return to St. Croix and to the Hibiscus Resort. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Thanks for a very memorable vacation. Richard and Donna H. - Kansas Thanks for taking pictures of us – you can use it on your website if you like. All the ones you took of us turned out really good. We appreciated you taking them for us. We had such a good time and relaxing vacation that when we get to take another vacation I'm sure you will see us. Talk to you later and hope all of you are doing well. Donna |
Hey Marc, We made it back to St. Louis. We really enjoyed meeting you and your staff. Everyone was just amazing! We had so much fun at your resort that we want to come back again. How do we add a comment to your web page? We have so many wonderful things we would like to say. Also, attached is a picture of our wedding at the resort. Jack & Jamie For our comments, we’d like to say: Hibiscus Beach Resort was a wonderful place to stay. The view from our room was breath taking. The staff was very helpful and friendly, attending to every request or question we had no matter how large or small . We would like to thank the staff for their outstanding service. Marc, thank you for all of your help with our accommodations, they were perfect. Lucy, Gorgie, Shelia, Shawn and Ozzie, thanks for making us feel at home and sharing some local traditions with us. We send a special thank you to Marcia who always greeted us with her uplifting smile and attitude. She was a tremendous help with our wedding and was always there to take care of anything we needed. What a wonderful staff and a great place to stay. We will come back! Jack & Jamie H. |
54 AM Email from a guest: comments = My wife and I stayed there just recently and we just wanted to tell you what a fantasic time we had. Everyone was so friendly and helpful going out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. We will recommend you to everyone. Thank you so very much for your island hospotality. S Raybuck |
Marc, I wanted to write you and tell you how much we enjoyed our stay. I must say that I am hesitant to put anything either on Expedia or on tripadvisor for fear that it would turn the place into a stuffy snobby joint.... just joking. But seriously, I do fear that it would keep you booked forever and make it impossible to make a reservation in the future - again joking. I will definately write something on expedia and on tripadvisor and include pictures. After all those websites are what led me to the Hibiscus in the first place. But it was my phone call to Lucinda about the resort and the Island that sealed the deal. We did get out and explore the Island. We did the Big Beard Buck Island 1/2 day and the TanTan 1/2 day - both of them were fabulous. TanTan gave us a good look at the Island. I was going to rent a car but the whole left side of the road and drinking didn't seem like a good idea. Went to Christiansted a few times and Ate dinner in town a couple of nights .... You have an amazing hotel. Everyone went out of their way to make sure that Keri and I had a great time. It was difficult to leave everyday to explore the Island but even more difficult to leave for good - we will definately be back - SOON!!! The staff at Elizabeth's were amazing as well. Luke, Travis, JJ, Sarah, Sheila, Elizabeth etc were awesome. (we did spend a lot of time at the bar :)). Please compliment John and Michelle for me and thank them for having such an amazing place. In fact I completely forgot that we didn't have any water pressure for the first two nights and a broken shower door - which by the way was fixed promptly... We actually didn't even care. The view from our room was perfect. I could sit in the chair drink a beer and see the water perfectly. The grounds were awesome - such a variety of plants ... I took lots of pictures. I will definately write something about the hotel and a more appropriate thanks later.... I have been so dang busy since I have been back - which was the reason for the quick thanks before weeks and month's go by. Thank you!!! G.G. |
To: "Marc at Hibiscus" Thursday, June 4, 2009, 12:43 PM It's always a pleasure to help in anyway a place and the people one chooses to share a small but very very valuable and precious part of their lives with. Without you and the rest of everyone there we would not choose to return to stx year after year. We have limited funds and limited time. We could spend it anywhere in the world - but choose to spend it there. If "there" was not doing well and the people working there were not making a decent income- my vacations would not be as great as they are. It's a 2 way fence. The happiest I can make you all - pays dividends in happiness for me! Always a pleasure. Kristi |
visitors from Estonia and other Eastern European countries this past year. This is an Email Thank You from one of them. Thursday, May 14, 2009, 12:03 AM Hello Marc. I am Rita, remember? How are you now? We are fine back in our country now. At last I send our photos to you. We remember with Marika our nice trip to your island and thank you for kind and friendly Hibiscus Beach Hotel.

Thak you so much. Rita and Marika. |
Email from newlywed after visit: I just wanted to send you a quick note to tell you how much we enjoyed our stay last week. I'm finding it hard to refocus here in North Carolina. Lucinda was awesome! I have some photos from our wedding if you would like to see them and Rob and I are okay with your posting them to your website. Thanks again and I'm jealous that you live in St. Croix. Mary R. (formerly Mary B.) |
I can't say enough nice things about my stay at Hibiscus Beach Resort. It is not a fancy over-priced hotel, but it has a quaintness that appeals to my tastes completely. From the buildings which reminded me of my childhood beach stays in Ocean City, Maryland to the outgoing and welcoming personalities of its employees, I felt relaxed immediately. I went with a larger group in February for a wedding. I think we had 19 of the rooms. We took over an area of H2O every day beginning at breakfast and at any point during the day some of our group was there, eating, drinking, playing board games or just relaxing. We were never rushed to leave or asked to move along. During the stay, I planned a small catered bridal shower with Jason, the owner of H2O for the bride. He was wonderful to work with, and provided great food and a nice meeting room within my budget. One of Jason's wait staff, Luke (the group "claimed" as OUR personal attendant) was always attentive and helpful. He worked the bar during the wedding and we dragged him on to the dance floor at least once along with other patrons of the resort and H20. The operations director, Marc, was on top of anything that needed attention even the wedding details and on several occasions we chatted with the owner, John. You'd never get this type of attention at any chain hotel. The Four Seasons it is not, but it is clean, comfy and friendly! If you are more impressed by superficial things than getting great customer service, spend more of your bucks on an overpriced room. |
Marc “. . . our trip was amazing. We did alot of exploring on our own. Pretty much covered all of the coastal areas we could and drove through the mountains, rain forest,... just breathtaking and scary at times! I'd do it again tomorrow!!!! We got to snorkel, just hang out, and ohhh the rum punch! St. Croix is a wonderful place. I know we'll be back. Trying to talk John into "retiring" there, we'll see. Thanks for everything, Take Care, and I guess I don't have to say Keep Warm,... You're in Paradise! Sincerely, Lori Ann G. |
Monday, March 9, 2009, 12:16 PM Marc- My wife and I recently stayed for a week at your resort ( Feb 14-22) and would like to complement you and the staff for making our visit so enjoyable. This was the fourth consecutive year we have visited St. Croix but our first time at Hibiscus. We both wished we had discovered it earlier. The room was great, the beach was great, and the service was great. The restaurant staff and bartenders were top notch, fun, and entertaining. The food was also quite good. The wings were outstanding and the whole fried snapper I had one night was fantastic. We will definitely be returning on our next visit. Thanks again for a great time. Art & Penny B. |
From: Kimberly F. Friday, April 17, 2009 We had an absolute laid back blast vacation there at Hibiscus! We now are suffering from a huge vacation hangover and wonder how long that will last. I wouldn’t consider any other place in the Caribbean other than St. Croix. Our first night H2O introduction was great and will remember that forever or until the next time we pass through. I was wondering if the entertainment, D J Mak is a regular there and if so, I would like to send him a T-Shirt VIA the Hibiscus address. If so let me know and I will get it out in the mail and for you doing the leg work, I will make sure there is an xtra one in the package for yourself. Again Ed AND I miss that atmosphere and are hoping we get over our hangover by July. Regards Kim & Ed F. |
Hi Marc My family and stayed at the Hibiscus this Easter (2009).I just wanted to let you and others know how much we enjoyed St. Croix and staying at the Hibiscus. Myself (Craig), Lynne, Kirsten and Dana enjoyed every aspect of our stay at the Hibiscus. The discount you gave us so we could have two seperate bedrooms was FANTASTIC! Since we are in our 40's and 50's, it was great you could give the teenagers (Kirsten and Dana) their own seperate bedroom. I can't thank you enough for that! The personal attention made our stay perfect. I don't know about the other hotels on the island, but I don't see how they could compete with you. The rooms were big, clean and had a gorgeous view just a few feet from the beach. Having the free snorkel gear to snorkel right our front our front door was an extra that was greatly appreciated. I HIGHLY recommend anyone going to St. Croix to stay at the Hibiscus. As matter of fact, the two teenage girls want to go back this Christmas. If we can find the time, we will be back again at the Hibiscus!!! Thanks again for making our trip a vacation of a lifetime. The trip was made as a high school graduation gift for the girls, but I believe it was a gift to all of us, thanks to the great customer service and accomadations fomr the Hibiscus Resort! Craig, Lynne, Kirsten and Dana Jackson, MO |
| Tuesday, August 18, 2009 Hi Marc, Thanks for emailing to see if we got off alright early Saturday morning. We did - thank you very much! We were able to get a good nights sleep as well, no problem! We had a great stay at your hotel, i would definitely recommend it to others heading to St. Croix! You have a real gem on your staff too, Marcia...absolutely wonderful lady! Take care! Lynn |
Email from Connie T. Marc, Thank you for the wonderful break. To tell you the truth, it was my first trip back to the island since I lost my husband very unexpectedly recently and I was very nervous about it. We had never stayed at the Hibiscus, so that was a help. You and your resort were the biggest help, though. The sunshine was therapeutic as was the gorgeous location. If I can find another bargain, I will be back next year. If there are no bargains, I may have to make a deal with the devil to get back! I am serious, as is my sister, about moving down. When my younger son graduates next year, I am free to move about the country! Thanks again for the salve for my soul! Connie |
My wife and our 6 year old daughter recently had a pleasant stay at Hibiscus Beach Resort. If you’re looking for a no-frills getaway in an idyllic location, this might be the place for you. I wasn’t sure if this would be the best place for us, with a child, but it turned out to be great. There was another hotel that had children’s activities every day but was considerably more expensive. It turned out at Hibiscus that there were plenty of young children around for my daughter to play with, as the owners have two small children and the Jason and Elizabeth, the operators of the restaurant, Elizabeth’s at H2O, also have a young son, and they hung out at the pool and the beach, and so it worked out really good. And that gave my wife and I some time to relax on the beach and have our own time together. The beach is a great beach. Sometimes the waves were strong for swimming, but it didn’t make it impossible to do. The entire ocean from Hibiscus on down has a protective reef that affords some great snorkeling, but again it depends on how strong the waves are. The rooms are comfortable. The staff is friendly and helpful. We rented a car and drove all over the island and got some fantastic photos; the views along the coastal roads are unbelievable and the color of the water is amazing. Truly tropical. It was just the type of place (and island) that we were looking for. We didn’t want a lot of “touristy shopping” because we had a child with us. And St Croix doesn’t have all that. There is a small tourist shopping area in the old town area near the boardwalk, but they’re not trying to hawk their goods everywhere. It’s very laid back and casual. If you’re wanting to be pampered, I wouldn’t say that Hibiscus or St Croix is the place. But if you’re looking for a nice, comfortable, clean, reasonably priced place, and if you want to wear your sandals and a tank top all day every day, then this is where you should go! Thanks Hibiscus! |
Marc, Just wanted to let you know what a great time we had during our stay at the Hibiscus. Our two rooms couldn't have been in a better spot and were just where we wanted them to be. We enjoyed our coffee every morning with that spectacular view! It was just what we had hoped for. I also wanted to thank you and the staff who were always so friendly and helpful. We wouldn't stay anywhere else and hope to return there again sometime next winter. Sincerely, The Bouchard family |

| Date: Friday, December 11, 2009, 4:47 PM comments = Just wanted to say thank you for our recent stay at your hotel. Everything was great, and please give a thank you to our housekeeper, who did a fantastic job cleaning every single day. Most of all a great big thank you to Marsha, who was there always to make us laugh and smile as she answered our many questions and was so helpful. She is a great asset to the guests, and we wouldn't have had such a good time without her! Thank you again, and hopefully we can come back again. Rayna and Jerry |
