The historic Buccaneer Beach and Golf Resort will be converting to Wyndham’s Trademark Collection. The Buccaneer is the oldest family-run resort in the Caribbean, opening as a hotel in 1947 with buildings that date to 1653, when the Knights of Malta were in St. Croix. The family-owned-and-operated resort said that the current ownership, management and staff will remain in place, but the resort will gain access to the 86 million Wyndham Rewards members via the brand’s reservation system. The resort plans to complete transition to the Trademark Collection by Wyndham over the next several months.
A member of Historic Hotels of America, the Buccaneer’s historical features include a sugar mill from the early 1700s, the Cotton House that was used in the early 1900s when cotton replaced sugar as the Virgin Islands’ primary crop and the Hamilton Wing, rumored to have been Alexander Hamilton’s home during his time on St. Croix.
