The Buccaneer – “Experience the Legend”A sense of time, place and family…In 2012, The Buccaneer celebrates 65 years of welcoming guests to St Croix’s finest resort. Citing the stunning beauty and unique ambiance of The Buccaneer, Islands Magazine declared The Buccaneer one of the world’s top “legendary” resorts. We are proud to be a member of Historic Hotels of America, a division of the National Trust for Historical Preservation. Gests return year after year to “Experience the Legend” at The Buccaneer.AMBIANCE: The Buccaneer is unique; the hill-top location of the Great House affords some of the most gorgeous views of Caribbean; after all, the original occupants could have chosen any site on the island they wished – they were here long before Caribbean tourism was even thought of! And what a location they chose. This property, formerly a sugar, cotton and cattle plantation, has it all…the views, the breezes, the exquisite beaches, sweeping lawns, the proximity to the town of Christiansted, a dedicated historic monument itself. The three generations of the Armstrong family that have run the historic resort since 1947 have retained its original charm and elegance, while insisting on the very highest of standards for their guests…guests who are, in a real sense, guests in the Armstrong home. Third-generation family member Elizabeth Armstrong is at the helm of the day-to-day operations and management. Elizabeth and the guest services team mingle with guests at their weekly cocktail party, and Elizabeth meets with guests weekly for a tour of the property to explain the colorful history, flora and fauna of the property.The Buccaneer’s ambiance appeals to a broad spectrum of guests from couples, honeymooners, sports enthusiasts, and families. The resort hosts many weddings of all sizes, and honeymoons are always in season at The Buccaneer. The complimentary year-round Kids’ Camp is a bonus for families seeking fun for everyone in the family. The Buccaneer has a country club atmosphere, where guests feel right at home. Guests remark at the elegant – but not stuffy- atmosphere. Generations of families come back year after year – a testament to the high standards and comfortable feeling guests enjoy at The Buccaneer.RELAXING AND SPORTSLots to do, plenty of space to do nothing.Three gorgeous beaches perfect for swimming, snorkeling on our off-shore reefs, kayaking (all included in rates), plus an 18 hole golf course with stunning views and eight tennis courts, with seasoned pros at fully-stocked pro-shops for both sports.
