Top Caneel Bay Beach Hotel Reviews

St John Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We can’t wait to come back"

Cruz Bay Boutique Hotel

8/10 Good

"This is the second time that we've stayed here. It's small but very good! There's a continental breakfast that we ate every morning. There is parking in front, ONLY to drop off your bags. There are CABS of a sort, that will take you around the island. They are open-sided cabs that pick up several people at a time. There is air-conditioning and fans that help keep you comfortable in the heat and humidity. We would stay here again."

The Westin St. John Resort Villas

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was amazing! It will always be my go to when I come to visit."

Seabreeze Cottage with private pool and sunset view

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at Seabreeze Cottage was perfect! It was our first time on St. John, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. The grounds are gorgeous and beautifully maintained, with amazing island views. The two cottages and villa are within a private gated area, with beautiful flowers, trees, and a cobblestone path that provides plenty of privacy.The cottage itself was beautiful and thoughtfully stocked with everything we could need. The kitchen had everything for cooking, drinks, and coffee, and the hosts provided maps and a binder with helpful information about restaurants, taxis, and island etiquette. The bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom had everything from shampoo and conditioner to a hair dryer, curling iron, Q-tips, and laundry detergent. The washer/dryer and shower were also great.The screened porch was one of our favorite features. The windows open completely, making it the perfect spot for breakfast while enjoying the Caribbean breeze. The pool lights up at night, and the backup generator meant a power outage across the island didn’t affect us at all.The beach amenities were incredible. Beach towels, a large beach bag, reef safe sunscreen, after sun cream, snorkeling gear and so much more. The cottage is also conveniently located, making it easy to explore the island while still feeling like you’re tucked away in your own private little getaway.We had an amazing stay and will absolutely be back to Seabreeze Cottage!"

Seascape Villa with private pool in Cruz Bay

10/10 Excellent

Villa Island Paradise

10/10 Excellent

"View was amazing . Unit itself was very unique"

Searenity Villa in Cruz Bay with private pool and sunset view

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and absolutely loved it. Great location and very close to Cruz Bay with all the bars and restaurants. Check in process was a breeze and felt very safe with the gated entrance. The villa has absolutely everything you would need! Beach towels, chairs, cooler, etc. The only downside was that only the bedrooms had AC and the rest of the house got pretty warm at times. Other than that, can’t say enough great things! Host was very helpful and responsive throughout our stay."

Inn at Tamarind Court

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay! Room was spotless and had everything we needed. The Inn is close to Shopping/grocery stores/ restaurants. Because it’s so close to everything, you will hear traffic noise. Other reviews mentioned hearing Roosters crowing - you will hear them and dogs barking. The dogs you hear mostly come from across the street at the St. john Animal Center. This worked out well for us as dog lovers:) The center looks for volunteer dog walkers so we walked dogs four times during our stay:) Staff super friendly and helpful. We loved our room. Beaches are close too! Highly recommend."
