Caneel Bay Resort

Beautiful and relaxing. The grounds are vast and lovely to stroll around but there are shuttles to take you where you want to go. Each group of rooms has pretty much a private beach. Never had more than 3 people out snorkeling with us. Very peaceful and private. They also clean/rake the beaches twice a day to keep them at their best. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The best part was having the beach 10 steps away from our patio and watching the mongoose darting around all over the place. The only con about the whole resort was the price of food in the restaurants. Even a bottle of water was outrageous. We weren't able to leave the resort but they do have a taxi stand where you can get a ride into town or private ferry to take you back and forth to St Thomas. Aside from the expensive food, this place just can't be beat! All gear/water activities included. Just have a plan for meals/drinks and enjoy this fantastic resort!

Amazing place! Caneel Bay resort ranks as one of my favorite places on Earth. The location is breathtaking. The vibe is relaxing and yet decadent. The staff could not be more accommodating! It is worth the extra cost to stay in a beachfront room. My husband and I woke up each morning to our own private beach where we snorkeled and relaxed our day away. I'm looking forward to my next visit!!!

Caneel Bay Resort is a fine hotel and a wonderful place to spend your vacation. The resort is still under contract negotiations to resume operations, but in the mean time I felt like I would share my experience. The concierge was wonderful with helping me find things to do around St. John. The transportation from the airport was easy with their ferry ride directly from St. Thomas. The hotel is a very expensive and be prepared to pay fees you did not expect. But all and all the hotel is beautiful with stunning views and upscale accommodations.
