The headline:
Escape Island Glitz in St. Croix
Instead of megawatt developments and celeb-chef outposts, find historic hotels and a homegrown food scene in the largest, but most laid-back, of the U.S. Virgin Islands.
What they wrote:
"Settle into an idyllic, country-club-like atmosphere at The Buccaneer . . . a 340-acre resort with an arsenal of amenities, including a new spa, a private dock, and an eighteen-hole golf course overlooking the ocean. Dominated by a pink seventeenth-century Great House, the property has received a glossy makeover thanks to a $5 million renovation completed in January."

Greetings to All Our Guests . . . Past & Future,
As the season changes and we head into summer, we remember that there is no "off" season at The Buccaneer. We have seasons for different reasons. Summer is the season for families, brought together for reunions, weddings and getaways, even honeymoons for new families of two. Small groups of good friends arrive for fun and island adventure. No matter the agenda, our boutique-sized 138 rooms, our 340 expansive acres, and the personal attention of a caring and professional staff, makes all our guests feel that The Buccaneer belongs to them alone!
We hope to welcome you in the near future,
Management and staff at The Buccaneer

 Spirited Heirlooms
Cocktail hour at the Buccaneer bar is so much more than having a drink. Magnificent, commanding views of the Caribbean Sea and the pretty town of Christiansted sets spirits soaring (and pouring!) and inspires a few happy guests to declare, "Jump-up-and-kiss-me"!
 | | Georgia O'Keeffe's |
Preparing for our 65th anniversary, we found a charming cocktail brochure from the 60s featuring, among many vintage cocktails, Jump-up-and-kiss-me, the island name for the pansy. The pansy is much-praised in poetry, music and painting, and in this much-imitated cocktail we created a few generations ago. The recipe does not include a pansy, but does pay homage to the flower's beauty, As we near our 65th anniversary in 2012, we can't wait to share more heirlooms with you!
Jump-up-and-kiss-me
1 oz Galliano
1 oz Cruzan light rum
1/4 oz apricot brandy
1 oz pineapple juice
1/2 oz frothee (kudos to whomever finds it!)
1/4 oz. lemon juice
Put into blender with a little ice, and serve in a large brandy glass.

Definition of a carefree family getaway?
Two Connecting Oceanfront Rooms.
Free Kids Club.
A Car for the Whole Stay.
For nearly 65 years, we have welcomed families and helped them create memorable experiences. This summer, we will welcome reunions of families, many who began as couples who honeymooned with us decades ago! We've been privileged to watch children grow up, marry (sometimes at The Buccaneer) and have families of their own.
Because of our history and our special distinction of being a family-run resort since 1947, we know what's essential for families. The essentials are combined in the new 2011 Summer Family Vacation package. Offered until August 31, it includes two connecting oceanfront rooms, free kids club every day, and a car for the entire stay.
 | | A sunset sail for the family is included in our new summer family package. |
PLUS! A sunset sail; introduction to SCUBA lesson; breakfast buffet each morning, and welcome cocktail party at the Sugar Mill with steel drums and Mocko Jumbie stilt walkers (Tuesdays).
For two adults and up to four children under 18, the rates are $2,753 for four nights; $3,441 for five nights; $4,130 for six nights and $4,818 for seven nights.
