We
stayed
at
the
Buccaneer
for
a
fortnight
from
30
Dec
to
13
Jan
2022
as
a
family
of
four.
We
thoroughly
enjoyed
our
stay
and
would
recommend
the
place
without
hesitation.
The
hotel
is
small,
around
16
lodgings
or
thereabouts,
so
has
a
really
quiet
and
cosy
feel
to
it.
They
take
a
lot
of
care
over
the
gardens
and
there
are
little
boards
telling
you
what
each
plant
is
etc.
We
aren’t
wildlifey
people
but
seeing
hummingbirds
by
the
pool
was
pretty
cool.
The
pool
is
a
good
size
and
warm;
it’s
great
to
have
the
option
to
go
for
a
freshwater
swim
instead
of
heading
into
the
sea.
There
was
never
any
difficulty
getting
a
lounger
by
the
pool
and
we
were
typically
the
only
ones
there.
The
hotel
has
a
gate
onto
the
beach
and
the
loungers
there
are
reserved
for
the
hotel
guests
so,
again,
there’s
always
a
lounger
and
umbrella
available.
The
strip
of
beach
is
not
massive
but
is
sheltered
and
a
perfect
size
and
excellent
for
kids,
much
more
so
than
the
adjacent
bits
of
beach.
The
sand
is
white
and
the
water
in
January
was
lovely
and
warm,
azure
and
clean.
Just
beside
the
beach
is
The
Salt
Plage
beach
bar
(by
day)
restaurant
(by
night).
It
was
a
very
handy
resource
and
happy
hour
starts
at
4:30,
just
before
the
sun
starts
to
set.
There
are
other
restaurants
within
100
yards,
Ana’s
and
Putter’s
being
the
closest.
There’s
a
wee
shop
behind
Ana’s
where
you
can
get
first
day
shopping
done.
Our
lodgings
were
by
the
pool,
ground
floor,
so
we
could
see
the
kids
in
the
pool.
They
were
clean
and
the
kitchen
had
everything
you’d
need
for
4
people.
The
fridge
freezer
and
cooker,
microwave
etc
were
spotless.
It’s
the
tropics
so
yes
there
are
a
few
mozzies
but
literally
a
few,
not
lots,
so
not
an
issue
and
reception
has
lots
of
spray
killer
and
repellent
available.
The
kids
slept
on
the
sofa
bed;
it
was
fine
for
a
9
and
11
yr
old
but
not
advised
for
older
kids.
Our
bed
was
great:
big,
comfy
and
lots
of
pillows.
Air
con
in
both
the
bedroom
at
living/
kitchen
area
worked
well
and
was
modern.
Downsides?
The
walls
are
thin
so
you
may
hear
people
next
door
arguing
but
it
wasn’t
an
issue
for
us.
Don’t
let
it
sway
you,
it’s
a
small
and
quiet
hotel
with
guests
who
are
typically
older
so
the
noise
level
is
like
a
library.
The
loudest
thing
will
be
the
birds
at
night.
We
would
return
to
the
Buccaneer
without
hesitation.
I
have
to
give
a
special
thank
you
to
the
staff.
We
got
married
while
we
were
in
Antigua
but
not
at
the
hotel.
They
were
so
friendly
and
helpful
during
our
stay,
but
when
it
came
to
our
wedding
day
they
came
out
and
took
photos
for
us
and
wished
us
well
before
we
left.
When
we
got
back
that
night
they
had
laid
out
a
lovely
display
on
our
bed
with
petals
and
wine
and
a
card
signed
by
each
of
the
staff.
It
was
so
nice
of
you
all,
thanks
guys,
you’re
stars
and
it
was
a
lovely,
kind
thing
to
do!
