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
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.

Great stay April 2026
From check in through check out, service was outstanding. Complimentary room upgrade. Friendly and attentive. Gorgeous location. Loved the beaches, pool and grounds. Food was great, especially at The Terrace restaurant. Recommend!

A Great Week at the Buccaneer Beach House
Our family spent a week at the Beach House. It's a fantastic venue for a family getaway. While everyone had their own space, the central gathering areas around the pool and living area were perfect. The short walk to the hotel for breakfast in the morning was a great way to start each day. Whether you are spending the day on the hotel property or out exploring the island, it's hard not to have fun and special days. Thanks to the Buccaneer team for a wonderful and memorable experience.

Bring your kids.
Warm staff, good food. Best family resort I’ve been to. Lots of free activities and not far from town!

Go elsewhere.
Our room was more roadside motel than luxury resort. The resort will tell you that you should make reservations at the restaurants prior to arrival. If you have a car (and you must to go offsite) eat elsewhere. The food is average and overpriced. The food at Beauregard’s was good but also overpriced.

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.
