St. Croix, US Virgin Islands - Charming Caribbean Hotel, on the waterfront in the heart of the Christiansted historic and shopping district. Time seems to stand-still here.
Ceiling fans whirl slowly.
The air smells sweetly of hibiscus and mango and coconut. A smiling, white- jacketed waiter leisurely skips across a shady veranda. Palm trees seem to wave welcome. Brightly-painted fishing boats creak comfortably against a weathered dock. In the harbor, a frisky porpoise frolics.
