a little info was requested by the OP on carambola, so...

i have been to St. Croix a couple of times, though never stayed at Carambola (though been driving through a couple of times.) Carambola has always been the most expensive and secluded area on st. croix. tickets to USVI are pretty cheap year round. the place has its own beach and from what i heard from the locals, all the rooms are very nice. if you look on the site's webpage, you will see a big mountain that overlooks the place. there is a mountain road up there (i suggest renting a jeep wrangler from any of the major chains at the airport) and it has one of the greatest views with carambola below and the whole island in the distance. if you do rent a vehicle, please note that they are american style cars but drive on the english side (ie your passengers pass each other rather than the drivers). simple rule: 'tight lefts, wide rights.) the island can be a bit sketchy in the two towns, but if you aren't falling down drunk, you shouldn't have any problems. there is a casino on the island if you like to gamble, you can drink alcohol prettymuch anywhere you go, including walking on the streets. carambola has the nicest golf on the island, but if you are a hacker like me, you can find some cheap ones too. i wish i could really tell you more about the actual Carambola, but again, i never stayed there because it really was luxurious. i will say though, if you are looking for entertainment and nightlife, i would suggest St. Thomas. but if you want a chill time, great outdoors, etc...st. croix is your way to go.

PS...they make a rum called Cruzan on the island (really good but cheap) and they make a 20yr old sipping rum for dirt cheap too. there is a beer (non-alcoholic) drinking pig in the rainforest and great diving. the deepest drop in the ocean closest to land in all the world is found off st. croix. and it is the most eastern point in the united states. (i would suggest packing a backpack and hoofing it down to the actual rocky coast than staying up at the 'tourist photo area'...

hopefully this helps...
