About the Hotel
Pirates used to be a major concern for The Buccaneer – in the 17th Century, the great house had to be hidden in thick vegetation far from the eyes of roving marauders. A Danish baron turned it into a sugar mill in the 1700s, and in 1947 the Armstrong family opened small hotel where guests – called “continentals” – would make their own drinks and help rake the beach. In the years that followed, Lauren Bacall, Michael Jackson and Johnny Carson all graced the hotel register. Recall The Buccaneer’s colorful past with bright, traditionally appointed guestrooms and a bar menu of classic cocktails – Cruzan Confusion, anyone?

Reviews for The Buccaneer
Great choice !
The Buccaneer is well managed, clean and provides a friendly environment. Rooms are spacious and well appointed. The restaurant serves very good breakfast and dinner. The bar and bartenders are top notch.

Nice but pricey
We stayed here our last night in St. Croix. It was nice. It has two private beaches... one is good for swimming and the other is more for walking the beach (it's rocky). The food and drinks were good. The room was spacious... a bed and a bathroom. We had to drive down to the beach area because everything is pretty spread out. My husband was going to play the golf course but it looked very brown. We were told that they don't water the fairways because of water issues. It was nice but a lot of money.

The Buccaneer, you'll Love it
Absolutely one of the BEST resorts in the Caribbean. Starting with being greeted upon your arrival at the entrance until your checkout the Staff is there to answer any concerns or requests. They give you the feeling that they enjoy being there, are pleasant, kind and caring. The resort has it all, beautiful landscaped grounds, excellently maintained, beaches, swinning pools, numerous restaurants (with a delicious breakfast included with your stay) and bars with high quality food and beverages for all occassions. There is a senic well maintained 18 hole golf course with a freindly, accommodating staff, tennis courts and games throughout the property. Rooms are very clean and have a design and feeling of true tropical settings. You can experience a quiet setting or enjoy the different types of entertainment from top notch lounge music to local beach festivities. As long time Caribbean residents we have visited many resorts throughout the region and our go to choice is "The Buchcanner", try it you will not be disapointed. Ken & Charmagne St Thomas, VI

A deep breath of Tropical Paradise
Gracious, beautiful and relaxing with very elegant accommodations. Wonderful food shops and entertainment plus nightly music. Treated to a performance by a top local fire dance group ending with a gin tasting founder's reception graced by Moko Jumbie Stilt dancers. Nice array of independent activity options for golf, tennis, pools and beaches and a workout space. The people were kind with a welcoming attitude quickly learning your name and out of respect you want to learn theirs. All 300+ who work there were smiling whenever they saw me. The views were stunning.

The Buccaneer in St. Croix was a place of casual elegance. We had an excellent waterfront room. The courteous staff sought to ensure our every need was met. The food was wonderful and the views are breathtaking.
