What’s the prefferred lodging situation for St. Croix, host hotel (The Bucaneer), or are there other suitable options for stay reasonably close to the race activites? Is Condo rental an option? Budget is above the standard but below deluxe.

This was a great place that I stayed at and is resonably priced!
Good luck!
Buccaneer is the best place, IMHO. Close to the race site. On the run course. Great breakfast buffet for fueling. I really enjoyed my stay there this year.
Divi Carina (technically the host hotel; buccaneer is a sponsor, but not the host hotel) is FAR from transition, but cheaper.
King Christian is CLOSEST to transition, but not so nice as Buccaneer.
go with the Bucc, you will not be disappointed.
Second the Buc reccomendation. Accept no substitute.
Stay of the Buccaneer! Best place by FAR! - It is on the run course. If you having a real bad day on the run, you can stop at your room, drink some rum and take a nap - then finish the race. Z
