Late lunch at Rhythms. Good menu selection, ample open air seating with great ocean views. Food was flavorful. Service was a bit edgy that day as an upcoming event had the staff scurrying to get people in and out before the event. Drinks were delish and prices reasonable. Small parking lot with plenty of off road parking nearby.

Location is great, its on the beach! My wife ordered "2 all beef hotdogs on pretzel buns $9" from the menu. She was quite annoyed to receive 1 hotdog split in half and served on 2 buns!

BEAUTIFUL BEACH!!!!!! Somewhat crowded. But bartender lady wasn't very friendly or fast- she was making multiple drinks while taking my order and making my drinks too. We got the lime in the coconut and a virgin strawberry daiquiri, the lime in the coconut was good but don't get it if you want a strong drink. The virgin strawberry daiquiri was GROSS. It comes out of a machine unlike the lime in the coconut which they make in a blender. The nachos were pretty good, the chicken strips were just okay- big portions though. They were out of quite a few things.

30 more trips around the sun and Rhythms at Rainbow Beach still serves decent food at an outstanding location. The menu has a lot of options compared to the burgers from eons ago. Service was fine. Sunsets are pretty hard to beat.

Cool little beach bar with inexpensive equipment rental. They offer kayak, snorkeling gear, ski doo, beach chairs and umbrellas as well as other rental services. Staff is friendly and helpful. Owner is super friendly and works on site along side staff!

Rain was in the forecast today, but it help off for a visit to Rhythms. Even on this overcast day, the view had plenty of turquoise water. Recommended if you're in Frederiksted, St. Croix.

Fun, beautiful beach with clear blue water. They offer jet skis and paddle boards and kayaks. The food and drinks are delicious as well!

Staff was friendly interviews were great. I got the mahi tacos with french fries, the french fries were great the tacos were OK. Blueberry lemonade was amazing!

Oh, brace your taste buds for a flavor fiesta at Rhythms at Rainbow Beach! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ First off, the Grouper bites – crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, these little nuggets of joy are like a sea dance for your palate. 🕺💃 The pork loin sandwich is a sandwich wizard's masterpiece! Tender pork, a symphony of flavors, and a bun so soft, it's practically a culinary lullaby. 🎵 Pretzel bites? More like bites of pretzel paradise! Each nibble is like a soft pretzel hug that leaves you wondering how something so simple can be so insanely delicious. 🥨 Now, let's talk about the coconut shrimp – a tropical dream on a plate! Crunchy, coconutty perfection that transports you to an island getaway with every bite. 🏝️ And the calamari? It's not just calamari; it's calamari that does the tango with your taste buds. Crispy, flavorful, and downright addictive. In a nutshell, Rhythms at Rainbow Beach is a culinary symphony that deserves a standing ovation. Bravo, chef! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Stopped in after enjoying the beach. We ordered the mahi mahi bites, corn nuggets, fresh tuna sandwich and pulled pork sandwich. All were delicious! My husband loved his pork sandwich the most and I loved the tuna sandwich and mahi bites. Corn nuggets were good, just your typical nuggets. The French fries are so good too! Service was the best we had on the island. The fresh yellow fin tuna was so fresh and delicious, I'm still dreaming about it.

A place that definitely doesn't deserve even 1 star. The lady at the front was the rudest when asked for a menu. At pay time, she didn't want to split the payments it was a group of us and didn't feel comfortable in having to pay all together, but she refused to take separate payments. Food is horrible, asked for a burguer and got the first burger plus the homemade fries ... Soggy and horrible. Definitely not worth the time spent and money. We weren't part of the all white crowd they had there so maybe that made the difference as well.

Had a good experience. Always love coming here when I'm home visiting ❤️. I've been here a few times and never had an issue until this last visit . First of all let me say the staff was friendly and I felt welcome 🙏 the food was ok but not the best. We have had better here. I don't know if it has to do with repercussions of a busy high season that trickle down to our arrival. We all had different orders. Some were good, and some were not chicken tenders were blah...not very flavorful. Here is the kick to the gut. We ordered Nachos as a appetizers for the table, and we all had the same reaction as soon as we got home. We all had to use the bathroom, and we went multiple times, and it lasted well into the next day We all feel that it must have been the processed cheese that they put on top or something else in the Nachos. Either they left it out or didn't heat it up enough or something, but I thank God that we went there after we spent our day on the beach

Worth the drive, an awesome beach with a really cool Caribbean bar with classic bar food! The water is generally calm unless the wind is blowing inland but the sand is nice, water is clear and kids loved it! Easy to grab a beach chair and get your favorite adult beverage! We go there to STX twice a year and stay on the East End and always make a trip to Rhythms each time!

Amazing. Perfect location right on the beach. Enjoy some sun...hop on the jet skis...and enjoy some good food! The jerk chicken tacos were my favorite.

Why five stars ? There is nothing here . Tat stalls selling th same stuff as all the other islands … so no , not 5 stars . A lot of poverty one street back Beach to the left - $25 bucks for a chair ? So stay on the ship and don’t bother is my recommendation . Sorry !

Frederiksted Pier is a renowned dive destination. For those like me who are old enough to have gone diving at the previous pier, this version does not disappoint. Plenty of encrusting sponges on the pilings and loads of fish. More lobsters than I recall from previously. Great for both a day dive and a night dive.

One of the most picturesque places I’ve been, turtles are swimming about the pier, and we were greeted by live music and dancers

I found the taxis tours to be expensive. Lots of handicrafts and jewelry sold at booths. We spent the day back on the ship.

Cab driver charged my travel partner and I $30 bucks ($15 per person) each way to get to Cane Bay. The ride there took about 30 minutes. The ride home took 5. $60 bucks for 2 people. Can't help but think we were taken advantage of. Especially when the ride home was so short. Cane Bay was not what I was expecting, not much of a beach, but the snorkeling more than made up for it.

Great place to walk around, plenty of options for food surrounding the block, and great place to catch the sunset, even saw sea turtles 🐢

Nothing on the pier but area by the pier is very nice. Great beaches near the pier

Pretty nice pier! Nothing special, there is a nice beach about 1.5 miles away worth going to and spend the day off your cruise. 🚢

Exciting place to be. St. Croix in the US Virgin islands..... Great people. Celebrated Emancipation day 3rd July..... Adventures of the seas Cruise ship berthed here 4th July 2023 and I was here.

Pier is now closed to visitors. No walking or jumping off any more. Swam out to snorkel around the piers which was very nice. Mostly colorful sponges and corals but a few animals.

Best snorkeling place in St. Croix. We saw more than seven sea turtles and countless fishes.

We disnt have enough time here, great place to snorkle, theres a dive shop right when you get off the cruise ship. The water is amazingly clear we saw sea turtles on the pier. We went to rainbow beach, rented 2 chairs and umbrella for $30. We rented snorkle masks and flippers, not worth it off the beach you only see sand. The restaurant right there plays music and has amazing shrimp tacos, its a tiki hut style bar, super cool.

Fredericksted is a small village. The pier for snorkeling or diving is the main attraction. The village has sustained a lot of storm damage and the wear and tear of time. It's pretty run down and quiet when a cruise ship is not in port. We drove all over the island and this end does have some pretty beaches north of Fredericksted. Looks like a lot of locals enjoy this side of the island.

Nice beach with a good amount of sea glass scattered about. We saw several jet skis moored here. The parking is tight, just find a spot along the road. It's packed on weekends. The beach goes for longer than you realize so if one spot is filled up just head north.

Perfect island beach with crystal clear water and a gorgeous sunset. Bathrooms and refreshments available at Rhythms beach bar on south end of shore. Flat rocky extrusions push up on north side harboring crabs and shells. Large parking area across road on south or you can just park along road. All shoreline is public so do not feel concerned to walk north behind the cottages (you own the beach too 💪)

Great beach with beautiful calm water for snorkeling, swimming, water sports or just relaxing. Parking was easy and convenient. Beach and chair rentals are fair rates and the team offers both jet ski and non motorized sport rentals. We went midday on a Friday and it wasn’t very crowded, cruise ship or charter crowds are in and out throughout the day. The restaurant has delicious adult bevy’s at low rates and great food with rotating specials. All staff were friendly and efficient, highly recommend this beach when visiting Saint. Croix.

Nice beach area. Not really a snorkeling area. The bar/restaurant on the beach is a plus. Good food. Can rent chairs or bring your own.

So much fun to beach comb here! We were the only ones on the beach!

A must visit beach while in the Virgin Islands! We saw all kinds of fish, a starfish and enjoyed the beach! A rainbow of course appeared while we were reading!

The beach was beautiful and the sand was hot. The water was rough and very rocky(be careful!!) but it was so fun and relaxing to spend the day here off the cruise ship. It actually wasn’t that packed. The prices for the chairs were decent and you could get drinks/food and rent jet skis. The people and the dog were freindly. The restraunt next door was so packed though. You can get a ride for 10$ a person round trip from the port to the beach. Overall nice beach!

Our first time, we brought our own beach gear but you can rent everything from a little shop here also. Amazed at how much there was to see snorkeling! Wasn't too crowded, had fun listening to multiple music sources, met some nice visitors and locals as well. Parking was simple, right on the road. Felt safe and very laid back.

This is a great spot. There are a few trees with shade to setup your blanket and a lifeguard on duty. There is a restaurant right there as well, not to mention - the water is gorgeous! This was one of our favorite beaches on the island.

Fantastic and convenient beach. We went for half a day and watched the sunset. All beaches are public on the Island, but there is a fee to use the chairs and umbrellas. We paid it and it was worth it. You can snorkel, rent jet skis, play corn hole, and volleyball. Overall a wonderful day and would recommend.

I mean, it depends what you like. If you want a beach chair and a drink in your hand and the availability of renting jet skis and other water sports equipment, then may be this place is for you. unless it’s a rainy day, it will be crowded, from the parking to the beach, and that’s just not for me. There are plenty of more serene places not far away.

This is a beautiful beach, and a great place to spend the day soaking up the sun and waves! We found a nice shady spot under some trees. Great food, drinks and water views at the beach bar as well!

The gardens are really beautiful, and walking around is fun with lots of paths to take. The age of the old sugar mill and all show but have been well preserved and maintained. An abundance of gorgeous flowering plants and shrubs throughout. It's worth the drive and time spent to enjoy this historic sight. FYI- there is a charge per person/donation to enter.

Visited early July for Mango Melee celebration. The festival had great attendance and I hope they raised a lot of money to support the gardens. Renovations are in progress and the place has much potential.

Beautiful grounds amid the ruins of a plantation. The provided map gives general information about each area of the gardens but there is not much signage indicating specific species. The admission price of $10 per person is reasonable. We spent roughly two hours wandering the grounds.

This was one of my favorite spots on the island. Yeah I know the beach and ocean are out there. For 10 bucks (less if you're old or young) it's worth it. We spent 2 hours here. They claim to have 1000+ species. I believe them. Great exhibits and a well taken care of,peaceful place. A mix of old and new and some good history of the property. There are a couple small museums included on the property and a gift shop. Check it out!

As beautiful as I remember years ago! The self guided tour was so nice to just take your time and stroll.

Incredible! It was rich with history, culture and the plants were amazing. The person at the desk gave us a map and some basic history. I am not a history buff but it was fascinating. Definitely worth going.

Saw many unique plants I had never seen before. Very beautiful. There were also fruit bats you could view in a couple of the buildings. Great tour guides. The seashell room was especially cool. Air conditioned gift shop had lovely souvenirs. Saw butterflies and tiny lizards on the flowers. Enjoyed.

Really lovely place. It's small but full of runes and the history behind them. My favorite were the more densely grown gardens as they felt like you were in on a secret. Definitely a labor of love.

This is a wonderful botanical garden on the grounds of an old sugar plantation so they are both historical and botanical aspects. There is even a little seashell museum. I was lucky to be able to tagalong one of the cruise ship tours and then took my time exploring further. The staff is very friendly and helpful and I found a couple of lovely souvenirs at the gift shop.

Beautiful garden with remnants of the plantation buildings throughout. The provided map is very helpful, walking the whole garden takes probably 1-2 hours.

Great place to visit. Over 1000 different species of plants and trees. Lots of history as well. Bring a doggie treat for Marley she lives at the gardens. 🐾 They would gladly accept donations of doggie treats and food.

A lovely garden, full of flora we had never seen or experienced previously. Spring and summer will be the best chance to see most plants in bloom. Even in autumn it was a delightful walk through fragrant and picturesque grounds. Keep your eyes open for orchids everywhere! The museum store was stocked with hand crafted items from many local artists and environmentally conscious gifts. We enjoyed our visit here very much. The ruins of the sugar plantation in which the garden is built are highlighted as well. A lesson to be learned, not to repeat the cruelty and greed of colonizers and conquerors.

Beautiful oasis of flowers, history, and walking paths just off the main road. Thoughtful signage and a simple map help self guide a stroll. Astonishing to think of how colorful and varied the whole island used to be, and how vital to have some more intentionally preserved. Pro tip: use only DEET free bug spray (when there and most of the time!) to help ensure the butterflies and other essential insect life can survive.

Highly recommend going through the gardens and buying souvenirs to support them. The icing on this visit was seeing my grandparents names memorialized since they used to be board members. So many wonderful memories here.

Very nice place to visit. Beautiful flowers amidst remnants of old sugar mill. Nice gift shop.

We visited St. Croix, and only had 2 full days to see the island. First stop after the beach at Cane Bay was the botanical gardens. It was a Saturday afternoon in November. The temp was in the 90s, and it was hot and humid. Not much breeze that day. The visitor center/gift shop was very nice and the beautiful lady that gave us some history and directions for the self guided tour. Give yourself about 1.5 hours. The bathrooms and little sitting area were super nice as well

Perfect detour for childless couples who like plants or parents of misbehaving tweens who need to learn some motherforking history! We stumbled on the gardens on our way to visit a distillery. The sausage tree and orchid house were far more interesting than the Cruzan factory. Lovely staff let us in late (they close at 3).

The botanical gardens might be my favorite stop on our trip to St. Croix. There is both a ton of cool plant life to explore and a lot of history because the gardens are on an old sugar plantation. One of my favorite parts was the rainforest section, where you can go from being in a really ordinary-looking field (like you would see almost anywhere) to suddenly being inside quite a dense piece of rainforest. Admission was $10 for each adult, and we got a great map to help guide us around and give information on both plants and history. This is also a great place to see a bunch of the little lizards that seem common on the island (I think they are called anoles).

The plants are gorgeous, we had came about 6 months after Maria came through in March of 2018. We went through again today 11-1-23 and the regrowth is spectacular!!!! Definitely go on a cooler day as today was over 90 degrees!! But beautiful!!!

A good experience viewing the remnants of the sugar plantation. We opted for the self guided tour with map. Limited signs required a certain amount of looking up information about sugar manufacturing which might have been provided in the tour with a guide.

The staff are some of the nicest people I meet while in St. Croix. I received so much help in looking for my family records. Thank you to all of the lovely staff, God bless and stay safe.

I enjoyed the historical lesson while on these grounds. I am excited about bringing my children here to learn about the mill as well. Nice weekend trip. Took about an hour to walk through it all.

Museum is closed, but the grounds are open and you will likely have the place to yourself. Peaceful walk on a sunny day. The Google maps directions are dated and take you to an entrance that no longer exists. The best way to find is by looking for the sign on Centerline Rd near KISS cafe.

The architecture is beautiful although the history behind it is terrible. The museum is currently not operating. Many of the placards were missing information. A blue "tarp" adorned the roof of the main building. I would like to see the buildings and their history, both the good and bad, preserved, so that visitors may fully understand what happened during those times.

Really interesting to see the technology of the 18 hundreds. A feeling of great sadness came over me when I realized the horrors that slaves went thru to make these structures

The volunteers were both nice & knowledgeable. The history of the place is amazing, & there is a moat around the great house that you can walk in.

Accepting donations for admission as the great house is closed due to Maria. Volunteers in the office are pushy. Not much to see but enjoyed the wonderful sugar mill remains and other buildings here. Deserves to be restored!

Always enjoyable, even when it's not open. Exemplifies the history and true historical spirit of the island. Love it

Love the lady telling the story of how Whim Sugar Mill came about. She is located where you pay access to the grounds. A delicious handmade peppermint candy ok 8m and tamarind candy balls await you at Granny's house where one lady makes candy and one makes rugs out of colorful strips of cloth.
