We stayed at Caneel 11 years ago and only spent 3 nights. This time we were able to spend 6 and really got a true sense of this wonderful island and the people who live here. I can't say enough about how nice the staff is at Caneel. I could never get tired of good morning and good evening greetings... More

My husband and I honeymooned here 5/1/13-5/9/13 and it was easily the trip of a lifetime for us both. Within an hour of arriving at Caneel Bay we struggled to find words to describe it all. Caneel makes your arrival (and departure) extremely easy - everything is coordinated for you. Our bags were taken at the Caneel Bay lounge at... More

We had an amazing stay at Caneel Bay. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, food was spectacular, all of the 7 beaches offered great snorkeling, bed was super comfortable and the room clean and well appointed. Too, the tennis facility was great. We stayed in 7E and it was over-the-top. Lovely with a huge private deck and just... More

I hadn't been to St John in 7 yrs and in the past have rented private villas or stayed at the Westin; mostly with friends, colleagues or family members. I'd always rented a jeep to get around the island but the driving on St John can be challenging, so, I chose Caneel based on a friend's recommendation as she had... More

I’ve seen reviews on this site that compare Caneel Bay to fine hotels. I don’t think that this is the best comparison. I would compare it to the best National Park Hotels, such as the Ahwahnee in Yosemite. The prices are similar (off-season) and the motivations are also similar. Caneel Bay is more about the spectacular location then it is... More

We stayed at Caneel Bay for four nights for our honeymoon and it's truly paradise. Having been to St. John before, I knew it was going to be beautiful but Caneel Bay exceeded our expectations. The beaches and grounds are truly spectactular. I love that this is such a natural place and isn't overbuilt or overcrowded. Even though the resort... More

If you have done any research before you go, you will know that Caneel does not have full marble bathrooms and all of the creature comforts that you will get at the Ritz or Four Seasons. That's not why you go to Caneel. It's all about the atmosphere. Is it rustic? Yes. But don't think that rustic means you are... More

I don't know that I will ever want o try a new place. My husband and I both truly can relax here. the... More
