| Why you should go: The furthest-flung of the U.S. Virgin Islands, St. Croix is a best-of-both-worlds paradise with the beaches and culture of the Caribbean, yet fewer crowds and no passport restrictions. The secluded Carambola puts you near the north shore’s highlights, including palm-lined Cane Bay — a gateway to some of the island’s best diving — and the tide pools in Annaly Bay. What’s the big deal? We rarely come across deals in USVI. But with this exclusive offer, two guests can stay at Carambola for around $200 per night. That price includes daily breakfast, welcome bubbly and two free drinks. We’ve secured travel dates into February, but you'll score the most savings on peak December and January stays. Travelzoo tip: Hop over to Christiansted for microbrews, West Indian eats and a chance to see where Christopher Columbus made landfall at Salt River Bay National Historic Park. |
