AMENITIES & SERVICES
|
|
What to expect: Family owned and operated since it opened as an 11-room inn in 1948, The Buccaneer occupies 340 hilly acres between a large lagoon and the Caribbean Sea and attracts families, romantic couples, and older adults. Many guests come year after year, passing down loyalty to succeeding generations. Long-time staff members greet repeat visitors like family. Peace and quiet reign. Guests dress for dinner. Parts of the resort's Great House (main building) date to the 1650s, when a tobacco and indigo plantation was established on the site. The Great House was intentionally positioned slightly behind a hilltop to conceal it from pirates. As a boy, Alexander Hamilton lived there. So did St. Croix's first Danish governor. An 18th-century stone sugar mill, popular for weddings, serves as the site for a complimentary cocktail party each Tuesday. Amenity highlights: The resort features three beaches, including centrally located, 120-yard-long Mermaid Beach. Grotto Beach, 0.25 miles long with a close-in reef creating a calm-water area for children, provides good snorkeling on one end. Accessible only by walking path, 120-yard-long Whistle Beach offers tranquil, secluded swimming and sunbathing. A large, freeform pool is located adjacent to Grotto Beach. Insider tip: Low-cost shuttle service is available to Christiansted 3 miles away, with van service beginning in the morning and the last returning in early evening.
