  "A more apt comparison"
  "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 mo..."re about the spectacular location then it is about the hotel. The rooms are pleasant but largely uninspired--but who plans on spending a lot of time in the room in a wonderful place like this? Service is friendly, helpful and well-intentioned, but not always consistent and not world-class. The most amazing thing about Caneel Bay is not only that you are in one of the most beautiful places in the world, but it is semi-private. There is a huge amount of space both in and out of the water that is basically reserved for a very limited number of guests. It is not like the Ahwahnee gives one private access to Yosemite hiking trails, but Caneel Bay does give what feels like semi-private access... " More >

  "Picture Perfect"
  "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. Lovel..."y with a huge private deck and just steps away from Scott Beach and our favorite snorkel spot. We had planned on exploring the island but we were so contented we never went off property. Thanks so much to all of the Caneel Bay family! " More >

  "Came exhausted, left restored"
  "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 recommendat..."ion as she had gone solo on several occasions. I didn't want to think about anything but relaxing and checking out from my daily pressures. When I arrived and was driven around the property to my room and noticed the deer just laying about on groomed lawns, I was sort of surprised. I came to understand that I was at a very special place, one that completely pampered me in a top notch way, but at the same time was an extraordinary nature preserve. The beaches are amazing. The breakfast buffet a great way to start an active day. The staff was perfect; attentive but not in my face. I would go back in a heartbeat and felt it was worth every penny. " More >
