19 Apr 10 Meeting Destinations without Passports: St. Croix
It can be a challenge to plan a last minute meeting in an exotic location. Not every convention member has a current passport, which makes St. Croix, one of the US Virgin Islands, an ideal location for your next impromptu meeting.
The Buccaneer Hotel has four separate meetings rooms that are perfect for corporate groups. Small groups of up to 40 people find the Beach Meeting Room just the right size. The Brass Parrot room is popular for banquets and presentations and can seat 90 guests theater style. If an open air, beachfront area is more appealing, reserve The Mermaid. The casual atmosphere makes this room, which can seat 125 guests, a favorite for incentive dinners.
No Caribbean experience would be complete without a visit to the spa. The Hideaway offers reflexology, deep tissue massage, and therapeutic massage. Soothing wraps hydrate and exfoliate the skin after a long day of meetings.
There are plenty of activities available for after hours fun. The Buccaneer Resort has an 18 hole golf course, with views so beautiful it may be difficult to leave the course. Water sports including ocean kayaking and snorkeling are a favorite with resort guests.
Think outside the box and inside US territory – book your next meeting in St. Croix.
