The signature resort in the island of St Croix is joining Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, Caribbean Journal has learned. 

The historic Buccaneer Beach and Golf Resort will be converting to Wyndham’s Trademark Collection, the company confirmed this week.

It’s home to a total of 130 rooms and suites, along with the top golf course in the US Virgin Islands.
