Safety First: The Mermaid Restaurant is currently open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Reservations are highly recommended for dinner due to capacity restrictions.

Deals, discounts, and vacation packages: The Buccaneer is currently taking reservations. And for those who’d prefer to dream a little while longer before taking a trip to the tropics, the resort is offering discounts of 10 to 15% off all room categories for travel between April 16 and December 19, 2021. The Buccaneer has long specialized in destination weddings, and it’s seeing an increase in demand for small ceremonies. For those romantics who haven’t planned a wedding because they haven’t yet declared their intentions, The Buccaneer also offers a “Pop the Question” package .
Entry requirements for U.S. citizens: No passport required to visit St. Croix, and no need for a COVID test before returning from a vacation to the island. Unlike most other Caribbean destinations, which fall under new COVID-19 travel requirements issued by the Centers for Disease Control, St. Croix is part of a U.S. territory and therefore considered domestic travel. Visitors must submit an approved negative COVID test result and get cleared to travel to the USVI prior to arrival on St. Croix, but no test result is required by the CDC for visitors to return to the U.S. mainland. All visitors do, however, need to abide by their own state’s regulations regarding the return from any sort of travel. Visitors age 5 and older must go to www.USVItravelportal.com to receive certification before traveling to St. Croix.
