A fine hotel, The Buccaneer has been an island tradition
since the Armstrong family opened it in 1948, with 11 rooms.
Constructed around buildings that date to 1653, the original
manor's thick walls and graceful arches are still visible in
the French Wing. The Armstrongs have renovated and ex-
panded the property over the years and it has grown into a
self-contained resort with 150 rooms on 300 acres, three
beaches, an 18-hole golf course, eight tennis courts, a fitness
center/health spa and shopping arcade.
Because the resort has been built in stages, there are several
types of accommodations and rates vary. Deluxe oceanfront
rooms span the area above the beaches. These rooms have
sitting areas with large picture windows and spacious pa-
tios. Deluxe ocean-view rooms also have spacious patios and
they are set in the main building and on the hillside. Family
cottages and suites have a master bedroom and a sitting
area that converts for sleeping at night. A small number of
standard and superior rooms in the main building face the
mountains and golf course. Slightly smaller than the other
accommodations, they are moderate in price. All rooms have
full baths, air-conditioners and ceiling fans, cable TVs, hair
dryers and irons and ironing boards.
The grounds and all the facilities are well maintained and
the service provided is what one expects at first-class hotels.
The golf course (18 holes) covers 6,423 acres and is a par 71.
There is a pro shop and club rentals are available, as are
carts. There are greens fees even for guests. Guests also pay
a modest fee to play tennis. There are two freshwater pools,
but most guests head to one of three beach strips. Cutlass
Cove Beach has a full watersports center where windsurfing
