Harbormaster Room FAQs
What does the Harbormaster Room actually look out over?
The room’s private balcony faces Christiansted Harbor, taking in the boats moored offshore and the water that wraps around the cay. It’s the same harbor that draws visitors to the property’s beach, which sits right on the water and is the only beach located in downtown Christiansted, so the view has a genuine sense of place rather than a generic water outlook.
Is there a balcony, and what's it like to use?
Yes, the room has its own private balcony overlooking the harbor, a good spot for morning coffee or watching the boats before heading down to the beach. There’s no plunge pool or swim-out attached to this category, but the balcony gives you a private outdoor perch right at the water’s edge.
What should I expect from the bathroom?
The private bathroom is fitted with a shower only rather than a tub, along with towels, soap, shampoo and toilet paper provided. A hair dryer is available on request, and the tile flooring throughout keeps the space cool and easy to maintain in the island climate.
How does the Harbormaster Room compare to other categories at the hotel?
As one of the more compact harbor-view rooms at Hotel on the Cay, the Harbormaster keeps the focus on the private balcony and water outlook rather than extra square footage. Guests wanting a larger footprint or a different configuration can look at other categories on the property, though this room delivers the same ferry-connected access to the beach and restaurant that every category shares.
What's included when I book this room category?
Booking the Harbormaster Room includes free WiFi, once-per-stay housekeeping, and access to the hotel’s complimentary ferry service that runs guests between the Christiansted boardwalk and the cay. It also connects you to the on-site Harbormaster restaurant’s al fresco dining, the hotel’s harbor beach, and arranged water activities like snorkeling, kayaking and sailing.
Is this room better suited to couples, families or a longer stay?
With its single king bed and 290 sq. ft. footprint, the room suits couples especially well, though it can accommodate up to four guests with a rollaway bed added for a surcharge. Families are welcome at Hotel on the Cay at any age, with guests 17 and over charged as adults, making it workable for a family with one older child or teen.
How close is the room to the beach and the restaurant?
Because Hotel on the Cay sits entirely on its own small islet, the beach, restaurant and bar are all just steps from your room rather than a drive or long walk away. The property is reached by a short complimentary ferry ride of just a couple of minutes from the Christiansted waterfront, so once you’re on the cay everything is close at hand.
Is one side of the hotel quieter than the other?
Rooms positioned nearer the Harbormaster restaurant and Beach Bar may pick up more evening activity, including the weekly all-you-can-eat beach barbecue with live steel band and stilt-dancer entertainment. Rooms further along the exterior corridors tend to offer a calmer, more harbor-facing outlook for guests who prefer quiet evenings.
What should I know before booking that isn't obvious from the room description?
Worth noting is that the hotel’s outdoor pool is currently closed, so plan on the harbor beach for swimming during your stay. The property is also undergoing phased renovation work, and since the hotel is accessible only by boat, it’s a good idea to let the front desk know your expected arrival time so the ferry schedule works smoothly for you.
