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?

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

The resort was an exceptional experience for our family. Every day we spent time lounging in the pool and snorkeling in the lagoon steps away from our bungalow. The staff across the resort provided exceptional welcoming hospitality and the food at the multiple restaurants was delicious. A special thanks to Kenny, the Golf Pro, who is a fun character and a seasoned professional. He went above and beyond welcoming us, getting us set up with the newest rental clubs and with tips on how to play this very authentic paradise course. Golfing on his manicured and picturesque island course will be a beautiful core memory for my 11 year old son.

Our Happy Place - Never Disappoints!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 weeks ago

From the seamless reservation process to the warm welcome at check-in, this hotel gets everything right. The staff are outstanding – friendly, professional, and always willing to go the extra mile. Special shoutouts to Alberga, Nadia, Phyllis, Delma, Kathleen, Doris, Francis, Marcia, Martina, Edith, Mayra, Allissa, Lea, Dion, and many others who made our stay extra special. The views at this resort are spectacular, the beaches are spotless and inviting, and the food is wonderful. The breakfast buffet alone is worth the trip! Every visit feels like coming home, and it truly never disappoints. Our absolute go-to destination and the best hotel experience we’ve ever had.

I'd Give More Than 5 Stars If Trip Advisor Allowed It.

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 weeks ago

We can't say enough wonderful things about The Buccaneer and our entire trip! Everyone was so hospitable and wonderful to be around, and the beaches are amazing! The resort is very clean and sits on top of a beautiful cliff overlooking the water. Everything from golfing on the resort to our trip to Buck Island for snorkeling was pure joy. We can not wait to come back!!

RIPPED OFF BY BOOKING DIRECT

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

DO NOT EVER BOOK DIRECT WHEN I MADE THIS RESERVATION THE BOOKING.COM RATE WAS $300 PLUS $98 for room, tax and surcharge when I checked in they had charged me the $399.49 plus $57.43 for room tax and $59.92 for a surcharge for a total of $516.84 That is an extra $118.84 a day times for three days four total of $356.52 When I spoke to Chadanice in the Reservations department of 1 check out. They said they cannot do anything. We should’ve booked through another website What Hotel tells you that it is better for you to use another booking platform instead of directly booking through the hotel I have been 20 years in my business doing Dolphin Safari Charters in Key West, Florida and never ever ever. Do you tell somebody that it is cheaper to book through another platform then through you directly they should have matched that price that is all I’m asking for. Absolutely disgusted and feeling ripped off, which is not what you want for a customer

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.
