Buccaneer

For our first visit to St. Croix, this former sugar mill site was a wonderful place to stay. An airport shuttle delivered us to the front door and we enjoyed three days without worrying about where to go, where to eat or how to get to the beach. The resort has three beautiful beaches, with different characteristics, so something for everyone. The breakfast buffet included was also varied and the option to order a special made it hard to leave hungry, even for the pickiest eater. The fresh air dining area was lovely, even if you were not hungry. It was also the site for nightly music, a relaxing and fun way to chill at the end of the day. Other meals were hit or miss, with service sometimes painfully slow even by island time standards, and food that was acceptable but should have been much more for the price. But after three days, it was time to see more of the island! We were able to have a car delivered to the resort, and enjoyed many more activities with the competent and personable aid at the concierge. Remember to stay left! A comfortable room at the end of each day made for a sweet stay and a memorable vacation.

My husband and I spent a wonderful week at the Buccaneer - such a charming and historical inn! We mentioned it was our 30th anniversary and they graciously upgraded us to a superior room right next to the sugar mill. We had the most comfortable king bed I have ever slept in, and a balcony that overlooked the tennis courts and the ocean. One of our favorite things was the lovely gourmet breakfast that we enjoyed each morning that opened up to an amazing view of the island and ocean! I even took a private watercolor class overlooking this view at our restaurant. It was a steep walk down to the beach, but you could request assistance down in a golf cart if needed. Everyone was very accommodating, and we definitely hope to return!

My husband and I decided to go to the Buccaneer for our one year anniversary. The hotel was absolutely beautiful. We even saw humming birds and their native bird on their grounds. Their already included breakfast was wonderful (you can even have then make you an omlette). That is if you can bypass the fresh fruit, pancakes, fresh juices, pastries, assortment of breads and bacon just for starters. The staff was always smiling and went out of their way to help us. You get free snorkling gear here while at other hotels you have to pay for each piece (and towels). This hotel beautiful! They also provide a welcoming party one day a week which include steel drums, dancers free food and alcohol. Try to eat your other meals off premises they are very expensive here and there is so much, good food to try on the island. We made a lot of friends. Oh you must try the rum raisin ice cream downtown!

Staff is excellent and location is hard to beat. Food choices are good
