Oct. 1, 2010 - PRLog -- Renaissance Hotels has opened the latest gem in its global portfolio, the 157-room Renaissance St. Croix Carambola Beach Resort & Spa in the U.S. Virgin Islands, under a franchise agreement with JS Carambola, LLP. The Renaissance St. Croix Carambola Beach Resort & Spa opened on October 1, 2010.

Situated on a secluded stretch of white sand beach along the north shore of the largest U.S. Virgin Island, the Renaissance St. Croix Carambola Beach Resort & Spa was originally constructed in 1986 by Laurance Rockefeller as a lodge-style beach retreat for his family.  The Caribbean resort celebrates an attachment to nature and the unspoiled beauty of St. Croix, which boasts gentle grasslands, lush tropical rainforests and gorgeous beaches.

Rates at the Renaissance St. Croix Carambola Beach Resort & Spa begin at $249 USD per night.

The stunning Renaissance St. Croix Carambola Beach Resort & Spa features classic Caribbean style. The 157 spacious guestrooms feature wooden accents, comfortable furniture and sweeping views of the tropical island.  Amenities at this St. Croix hotel include luxurious bedding, flat-screen televisions, and private, screened-in porches with cushioned seating.


“This resort is a fantastic addition to the Renaissance Hotels portfolio and adds to the brand’s growing distribution in the Caribbean,” said Andrew Houghton, area vice president for Marriott International in the Caribbean.  “The hotel offers guests a beautifully serene setting and the top notch accommodations and service for which the Renaissance brand is known.”

The Renaissance St. Croix Carambola Beach Resort & Spa offers guests a variety of dining options. Breakfast is served at Saman restaurant and can be enjoyed indoors or on the outdoor terrace. Beach- and pool-goers can order light fare for lunch and dinner at the Flamboyant Pool Bar, and Mahogany restaurant offers continental cuisine combined with Caribbean ingredients to create delicious and unique entrees for dinner.
