The hotel seamlessly merges modern amenities with touches of St. Croix’s heritage, making every corner photo-worthy.

Rooms Designed for Relaxation

Each room at The Fred is uniquely designed, offering its own personality while ensuring top-notch comfort. During our stay, we enjoyed the James suite, an oceanfront haven that featured a plush king-size bed, a private balcony, and elegant decorations that reflected the island’s natural beauty. The suite’s amenities, including a mini fridge stocked with complimentary drinks and a secure safe for valuables, added to the convenience and luxury.

What truly stood out was the attention to detail—from the soft linens to the locally inspired decor, every element was carefully curated to enhance the guest experience. Waking up to the sound of gentle waves and the scent of sea breeze was the perfect way to start each day.

The Fred Restaurant, located near the pool and bar area, offers a delightful menu featuring local flavors with a modern twist. Whether you’re in the mood for a casual lunch or a fine dining experience, the restaurant’s culinary offerings are sure to impress.

We indulged in chicken nachos and fish tempura as appetizers, each bite bursting with fresh, vibrant flavors. For the main course, the Fred Burger and tacos were standout choices during lunch, while the grilled salmon and red snapper stole the show at dinner. The restaurant’s relaxed ambiance, paired with the attentive service, made every meal a highlight of our stay.

The beachfront location allows for easy access to swimming, sunbathing, and water sports.

If you’re up for exploring, the hotel’s proximity to Frederiksted’s historic landmarks, local shops, and lively markets adds an extra layer of adventure to your trip.

Spent a week here in January 2025. This is a quaint hotel in a great location with respect to Frederiksted, great beaches, dining and hiking. We didn't need to rent a car as most things were walking distance. We took taxis a few times to go to Christiansted and hiking on the other end of the island.Our room was clean with tremendous views of the water.The staff were mostly friendly and helpful. We learned that if you show a bit of interest in them, they are extremely friendly and helpful.We ate 4 or 5 meals at the restaurant and every one was fantastic. The service was good but not fast but this is the pace you find in the Caribbean. The bar is a fun atmosphere with entertainment 4 or 5 days/nights a week. All the entertainment we saw was quite good.

This is a review of the on site restaurant beyond terrible service … gave it a try twice … so incredibly disappointing!!!! If it had a negative star that would be more appropriate!

We recently stayed at The Fred Hotel for 4 days and 3 nights, and we absolutely loved it. Our room was the James, an oceanfront suite. The room featured a very comfortable king-size bed, a safe for storing our electronics and passports, and unique, tasteful decorations throughout the suite. The mini living room area included a private balcony, perfect for sitting outside to enjoy the fresh air and stunning scenery. There was also a mini fridge stocked with complimentary drinks.We had the chance to try some delicious food for lunch and dinner at The Fred Restaurant, conveniently located next to the bar and pool area and just a short walk from our room. My personal favorite appetizers were the chicken nachos at lunch and the fish tempura during dinner. For lunch, I highly recommend The Fred Burger or the tacos, and for dinner, the grilled salmon or red snapper are must-tries.The staff was fantastic, but I want to give a special thank you to Krystal and Chelsea, who attentively catered to all of our requests. If you’re planning a trip to St. Croix, Virgin Islands, I highly recommend considering The Fred Hotel for its comfort, excellent service, and relaxing atmosphere.Thank you again for such a wonderful experience—it was our first time visiting St. Croix, and it couldn’t have been better.

I hate to leave a bad review, but my experience at The Fred during festival was pretty bad. Was “greeted” so rudely at the front desk that it was almost comical. The very pregnant clerk did not smile or say a single word to me other than “sign here.” I live on island so I KNOW this isn’t how we treat people here. I hate that to be anyone’s first impression of stx. I arrive to my room, ready to go change/wash/hit the parade and alas - no towels! I had to use my scarf to dry my hands. I try calling the front desk multiple times, no answer. I walk down there and explain that I have no towels. She replies “I know. They will bring you some”. I probe for a when/how and get nothing. So I head to the parade as-is. Room has no closet, just a hook on the wall with hangers. There was no lotion or sunblock or bath mat. TV didn’t work. The corner of the bed was so sharp that I have a huge bruise on my leg now, days later. Feels like the level of service/room features you’d get at a 1-2 star hotel. WiFi code was illegible (no one was at the front desk when I tried to get help with this) and I couldn’t get solid service in my room so trying to connect with friends for the festivities was more stressful than needed. I also could hear everything in other rooms and outside of my room - making sleep tricky.On the plus side, the views are lovely, the hotel ambiance and room itself were nice and AC was icy cool. The bathroom was huge and nice. The location of the hotel is also great for being able to walk to events in Fsted during festival. For the price point and rude service, I would not recommend and do not plan to stay again but maybe if you bring your own towels and get a good price, it is worth a look? Maybe my expectations were too high but I was taken aback by the basics this hotel was lacking.

The location and the views are amazing, however staff (bartenders) were not happy and spent time arguing about the workload and who was doing what. One even threatened to walk out. They ignored patrons, not at all welcoming or friendly even after a respectable tip. Very unfortunate. In addition, the deck outside has trash from the night before and only a couple of chaise lounges.

I stayed at The Fred for several days recently again and it's my go-to resort without a doubt. The staff is amazing - food is great - and atmosphere is just what anyone looking to unwind deserves. There is always lots to do in the area - shopping, golf, different food options, water sports, beach bars, and more. Highly recommended - I will be back soon!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Fred! From the beautiful views, luxurious pool and hot tub, lively bar scene, spacious rooms, relaxing spa, and rainfall shower, the Fred has it all! The entertainment from the Moko Jumbies and fire dancers was a cool bonus! Would come back!

We spent the last four nights at the Fred. Food and drinks were delicious. The room had a powerful AC unit which is critical for us to be comfortable. The bathroom was spacious. The staff was super helpful and responsive. They even helped us set up a boat tour of nearby beaches and snorkeling sites. We will be back. Thank you!
