Our History
Mrs. Rita Thompson, member of the Thompson Jones family, was born in Jonesville, a community near the island of Roatan of which her family are considered as founders. In the year of 1967 she founded the "Posada del Bucanero", a small hotel located in French Harbour, Roatan, which had four bedrooms, a bathroom and a family room. It is the first hotel to be opened on the island.
The Bucanero can be considered an important historical reference point in the development not only of French Harbour, but also of Roatan and the Bay Islands.
In its period of greatest splendor, El Bucanero was visited by personalities from the national and international level such as former heads of state of Honduras General Juan Alberto Melgar Castro and Policarpo Paz Garcia, and England’s Prince Philip.
In the present time, after years of extensive renovations, "The Buccaneer" has been restored and it has reopened its doors to the public in August 2016. The original wooden architecture has been is preserved, but adaptations to suit the needs of a modern and sophisticated community have been added. It has ceased to be hotel and has become a Resort Centre where visitors can enjoy a promenade that transmits peace and tranquility between the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean Sea.
