Divi Carina Bay holds a niche no other resort on St. Croix occupies: adults-only (18+), all-inclusive, with a casino, on a private beach. If that combination is what you're after, there's no alternative on this island. The 2021 renovation gave the 180 rooms a Caribbean chic update — clean lines, modern bathrooms, and a design that's a step up from what the older photos showed.
The resort attracts a 50s-and-60s demographic during slower periods, couples on anniversary and milestone trips, and U.S. travelers who want a USVI destination without the passport requirement. It is not a good fit for anyone expecting the entertainment programming of a Punta Cana mega-resort, or guests who prioritize dining variety above all else — the all-inclusive food program covers four restaurants, and returning guests consistently note that options feel repetitive by day four or five.
Honest drawback: the food. Waves Marketplace handles breakfast and themed dinner buffets, Oceans Bar & Grill covers poolside lunch, and Tuscany Restaurant handles Italian dinner. The themes cycle, and repeat guests find the rotation limited. The casino's Carina Café is the only late-night food option, but it falls outside the all-inclusive package. This is the most common complaint in recent reviews.
Practically: 180 rooms across beachfront categories and hillside suites. The hillside one-bedroom suites at 827 sq ft are the best value for couples who want space. The east end location is genuinely quieter than Christiansted — a 20–30 minute drive from Henry E. Rohlsen Airport. The private 1,000-foot beach is calm and good for swimming, though water shoes are recommended due to rocks and shells near the shoreline. The casino is on-site but not integrated into the all-inclusive program — gambling is extra.
