In other words, there are some great options to choose from on this fascinating, culturally rich destination.

The Buccaneer in St Croix.

The Buccaneer Beach & Golf Resort Born as an 11-room guest house in 1947, the Buccaneer has grown into a timeless symbol of hospitality on St. Croix. Having recently joined the Trademark Collection by Wyndham, but family owned for more than 70 years, the landmark resort has a pink Colonial style Great House on a hillside overlooking an 18-hole championship golf course and a variety of lodging, dining, and entertainment venues. For a classically elegant vacation, there’s nothing like a stay at the Buccaneer.
