The hotel although marked as a 5 star resort felt more like a 3 star resort. The grounds were beautiful but the hotel itself is old. The rooms were comfortable but the bathroom had a musty smell and there were tons of mosquitos!!! The food at the hotel was like dinner food, salty and super expensive. Overall I was expecting more from this location based on the reviews.

Excellent vacation headquarters
The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The accommodations were lovely. Free coffee in the room and free breakfast every day. The food was good. Beaches clean. Lots of other activities such as volleyball and golf. My only complaint was that the snorkeling at this site wasn't very exciting. Much better at Buck Island (a trip was arranged by the staff).

Great family vacation
This was our second time staying at this hotel. The first time the experience was great but this second time around we really enjoyed the hotels amenities. We were upgraded to one of their villas closed to the beach. It was a big surprise and nice perk. The room is spacious and beds are comfortable.

Business/Pleasure in St. Croix
I would recommend the Buccaneer to anyone who can afford to step it up a notch. View was fantastic, clear water, good snorkeling right off the hotel beach front. Staff were a friendly as they could be and seemed genuinely glad we were there. Gated entry makes it more secure. Fine dining is pricey as expected at a resort like this, but oh so good! We were there in the low season, so it wasn't so crowded, which to us was a plus. Room AC could have been upgraded to compensate for the warm temps, we just turned up the ceiling fan to compensate. Needed a few more days of relaxation to take advantage of the golf course and jogging trail on property, but maybe next time. Thumbs up!

Take the Buck Island all day snorkeling and lunch tour. Picks up and drops off right at the Buccaneer hotel dock. Crystal clear water, fun boat crew. (Don't forget the "Rum Punch".

Romantic beach getaway
My boyfriend and I stayed for 9 nights and would go back. The Buccaneer is about a 7 minute drive to Christiansted and about a 7 - 12 minute drive to the east end where there are more restaurants. If you want to spend your days on the beach there are 3 to choose from. They provide free use of kayaks, floaties, and snorkel gear. The staff is warm, helpful, and friendly. Our biggest complaint was the food. Lunch selections at The Mermaid were ok enough but dinner at the Terrace was always disappointing. Everything sounded really good but the execution was lacking. The full breakfast buffet that is included was definitely good enough - decent variety. The spa is small but provided good services. The golf course is beautiful. If you're looking for a very mellow, quiet, romantic vacation, this is the place. If you're looking for more action and nightlife, St. Thomas would be more suitable.

Harvey's - local, island food. open for lunch only. warm, friendly staff, excellent food. Kim's - also local, island food. lunch and dinner. VERY SLOW service but if you're prepared for that, the food is really good. Duggan's Reef - good, casual food, specializing in spiny lobster.

Great Vacation
Had a great time, enjoyed the facility, people and room. Had an issue with the a/c part way through my stay - the maintance folks had it corrected within 30 mins. My only complaint, the rules for the pools should be enforced. Children were running, jumping and diving into the pool while adults were trying to swim. When brought to the parents attention, who by the way were not watching their children, they just ignored us who made mention.

Harvey's for great local cuisine and friendly service. Kim's for a stiff rum and coke (it came in a pint glass) and good food, service is really slow.
