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

Beautiful but not our style

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

This resort has a more old fashioned feel, but is very well maintained. Excluding the huge gap in our door gasket that made air drying things impossible. We got an upgrade as it was our honeymoon which was fun but I think actually put us further away from the beach itself, but the view was magnificent. Clifton the bellman was excellent as was Marlon in the ocean front restaurant, but besides that all other service was indifferent. Breakfast was included luckily because it was not good enough to have paid extra for and there are some wonderful breakfast places near the boardwalk closeby. I wish we had left more room in our schedule to hang out at their beautiful beach, though you had to drive to the beach from our room. I’m sure many people love the sprawling grounds but we would have preferred amenities to be closer together, especially given the sudden downpours the island is known for. We will be back to St Croix but will leave this resort to the tennis and golf players.

Unbelievable Experience

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

A magical experience in St. Croix. My wife and I took our two teenagers to the resort. First class service and facilities. The most friendly hotel staff I can recall. By the end of the week everyone knew our names. Food was phenomenal. Beautiful views from everywhere. We will be returning.

perfect for a quick getaway

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

We came here from Fort Lauderdale for Easter weekend not knowing what to expect, and I must say this resort was really fantastic! The beaches were well kept, the staff very friendly and overall the resort was well cared for and maintained. It had character, which was very nice to see. Our family got an upgrade to a fantastic beachside room for our anniversary, which was a nice touch as well. The resort is expansive, but not too big. Although we traveled on a busy weekend the Buccaneer did not feel crowded. Overall it was an outstanding experience!

Can’t wait return!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 weeks ago

We’ve had a wonderful time on two trips to the awesome Buccaneer Hotel this year, and can’t wait to return again this summer. Our highlights always include the huge breakfast buffet with Phylis, Delma and all the other amazing servers. We also enjoy the music on the terrace by world-class guitarist, Steve Katz. The Hamilton cocktail party on the terrace is a great new addition to the many activities offered at the Buccaneer. The welcome cocktail party with hotel owner, Elizabeth Armstrong, is always a favorite and Joel’s Buccaneer history and nature tour is fabulous. The beach service with Myra could not be better. Morning walks around the gorgeous property are also fantastic. And the room accommodations, amenities, and housekeeping service are all superb. In addition to the hotel’s activities and services, our family also enjoyed a horseback riding excursion with the Crucian Cowgirls through the rain forest and on the ocean shore. We particularly enjoyed the snorkeling tour with Mermaid Adventures at the spectacular Fredericksted pier and the Dorsch beach. We followed many turtles and saw rays and sea horses. There are so many wonderful places to visit, including Point Udall, the Botanical Gardens, and strolling the Christiansted boardwalk. If you are considering a trip to St. Croix, we highly recommend making the Buccaneer your home base. This wonderful family-run hotel has become our home away from home and we always thoroughly enjoy our stays there.

Overpriced and terrible service

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 weeks ago

Terrible. Slow service and rude employees throughout the resort. Everything is incredibly spread out, and getting to and from the beach/pool areas and back to your room is difficult. Also, everything on the resort is ridiculously overpriced. Food and drinks are expensive and not worth your time. The island is beautiful but don’t stay at this resort.

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.
