Sugar Apple Bed and Breakfast — Hotel in Christiansted

My stay at the Sugar Apple was lovely! This was my second time in St. Croix and first time staying in Christiansted. I wanted to find a cute, safe spot for a few days of solo travel and this is where I landed. It’s a couple blocks away from the boardwalk and shops but tucked back enough where it’s peaceful and quiet. ||The management and caretakers were wonderful. I got a text the morning of my arrival with all the info I needed for self check-in. I didn’t need anything from them while I was there so my interaction was minimal but everyone I saw was incredibly friendly! ||The property is gated with smart locks so you need a code to get in either gate and then just a code to get into your room. Very smart and convenient to not have to remember/not lose a key while on vacation! ||I stayed in room 3 with two beds. There is a desk, dresser, TV, sink, mini fridge, microwave, kettle, open closet, nice bathroom with walk-in shower, and a ceiling fan. The beds were a little squeaky but not terrible. There were many pillows which was great as I like variety and to stack my pillows when I sleep. The AC unit was a little noisy but it worked perfectly so this is not a complaint, just an observation. I usually sleep with white noise and this did the trick. ||I only went to the continental breakfast on my last morning and it was pleasant. Some pastries, a couple bread options you could toast, vegan cream cheese and butter, jam, fruit and I think oatmeal. Breakfast is set out by the pool so it’s just a nice spot to start the day. ||The pool was great. It was clean, a perfect temperature, and just nice to relax after a long day at the beach. I spent an evening on a lounge chair just enjoying the weather and night sky. ||My favorite part was the tortoise garden. I spent at least 30 minutes there on my last day just wandering around, talking to the turtles, and enjoying the lush oasis-like feeling of the garden. It’s a secret tropical getaway and I could have spent all 3 days there with those turtles. ||Notes on the trip to the island- not a commentary on the Sugar Apple, I just wanted to include this. As a solo female traveler, I learned after night one that it’s best to be back at the B&B before dark (and that’s about 7 pm in July). Definitely important to pay attention to your surroundings and find the best ways to get around and feel safe. ||I also wish I would have rented a car because finding taxis was a challenge and ended up being pretty expensive. I was scared to drive on the left side of the road but will be up for the...

The room was very clean and a lot bigger than I expected. I was very comfortable and felt safe, which is a plus! There is a little kitchenette with a minfridge for keeping leftovers and a microwave to heat it up. The first young lady when I arrived was very curt upon first meeting. She did not smiled nor seem to want to be bothered but she eventually helped me find my way to the boardwalk for food. The area was a little daunting, especially if you are alone and walking at night, but I had already looked up the area so I kinda expected what I saw. The pool was just the right size and was NOT overchlorinated like a lot of hotels. There was a guest complaining about the leaves in the pool but it's centered in the middle of the hotel surrounded by a lush garden complete with mangoes and numerous tortoises, so what did she really expect (she's just a complainer). I have to rave about the friendliest person on the island, Natalie! Extremely warm and sincere as well as super helpful. This is my first solo trip, so a booklet map of the island with tours, restaurants, taxis, etc; would've been nice but I eventually found one on the dock. I did not get a chance to eat the breakfast but I saw a few people sitting out at the tables by the pool. I will stay here again, just not solo and that is only because of the walk at night. All in all, I liked this quaint little bed...
