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.

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.

Could be premier if they took care of the property

Long and short, time AC didn't work and Wi-Fi is either constantly disconnecting or unusably slow. There was construction materials around the front entrance and the pool was closed. If there was another hotel on the cay, this one would be closed if it remained in this condition. Now the good. Beautiful water view and 30 seconds from the beach. A short ferry ride to the board walk which is free for cay guest. Excellent if you don't mind a hot room with no Internet service with a beautiful view and access to the beach.

We were not notified that the pool was not operating. The entire outside of property is run down. There is no elevator and no one to help with bags. We were on the 3rd floor. Our balcony door did not shut properly and rattled loudly in the wind. The room was spacious, clean, good shower. Beach and beach bar are spectacular. The quick water taxi was easy to navigate.
