Caneel Bay Resort on St. John in the USVI

Caneel Bay’s 166 guest rooms are replete with natural touches like native stone, hand-made furniture, and wood.

Yet they all air-conditioned and equipped with a mini-bar, in-room safe, beach towels, coffeemaker, bathrobes, complimentary rum, and bottled water. Telephone pavilions scattered throughout the grounds provide access to the front desk.

The rooms include Courtside rooms, located near the tennis courts and fitness center; Garden View Rooms on ground level; and Ocean View Rooms, with spectacular views of the beach. Honeymooners will appreciate the Beach Front Rooms, which are located right on the beach.

But the most desirable place to stay is Cottage 7, spacious accommodations that were built as Laurance Rockefeller’s private estate house and are still used by the family. It contains a large bedroom, a luxurious bathroom, and a private patio with spectacular views of the Caribbean Sea.
