I've just returned from my second trip to Caneel Bay in six months. I would go once a month if I could! When I'm there, I feel like I'm a guest at a good friend's estate. All of my needs are met, but more importantly, I have an opportunity to relax, unwind and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. I've sailed around... more

Just returned from our third trip to Caneel in the last 2 years. Once again, we had a wonderful, relaxing time. This trip our room was on Scott's beach. It was a bit smaller than the other rooms we've stayed in at Caneel, but it was comfortable and perfectly situated to make everything only a short walk away. We enjoyed... more

Just returned from 5 days at Caneel. Caneel is beautiful, peaceful, and has decent food and service. The rooms are very comfortable and spacious, just don’t expect 5-star luxury. I would not pay full-season prices, but off-season bargains were well worth it in my opinion. I wouldn’t pay more for beachfront rooms – my oceanview room had an amazing view,... more

My wife, daughter, and I went to Caneel Bay mainly check it out as a wedding destination as well as relax and enjoy the beach and water. The scenery on the island and resort are breathtaking with some of the most beautiful beaches you'll ever see, and Caneel Bay has seven of them. The grounds are also beautiful and well... more

As many have posted before this is a resort you will either love or just not get. Having traveled all over the world this may be my new favorite place but you have to go knowing what to expect. It is beautiful, calm, quiet, relaxing and simply (simple) amazing. Don't go expecting the typical - expect tropical splendor. Let me... more

We recently got married at Caneel Bay, in ST John (Aug 3, 09) and it was an amazing experience. We didn't want a big wedding, we wanted an easy, fun, comfortable event and what the wedding coordinator did for us was the most beautiful and tasteful wedding ever. Vera Payne and Ruben Alvarez have been so nice and helpful during... more

The Caneel Bay experience has everything to do with what you are looking for in a vaca. I have been visiting the island and the resort for 30 years and I think the place is a jewel, but it is not for everybody and not for every stage of life. I have been all over the world and I think... more

My husband and I went to Caneel Bay last month (July 09). We thought this VI vacation would compare to our wonderful experience at Peter Island two years ago. We were grossly disappointed and feel we were misled since Rosewood Hotels and Resorts touts Caneel Bay as a luxury resort. Our experience was far from luxurious…it was downright horrible. The... more

5 days stay at this resort was really unpleasant. I dismissed the negative reviews I read beforehand as folks who were high maintenance, or had expectations of the Taj Majal - simply not the case. Bad lodging, food & service are not subjective experiences (at least not in this extreme case). We had very modest expectations and were still disappointed.... more
