Our stay at this resort was absolutely magical, with stunning beaches and a breathtaking landscape that felt like paradise. We loved the snorkeling and exploring the nearby islands, but some inconveniences, like inconsistent service and occasional room maintenance issues, kept it from being perfect. Overall, it was a beautiful getaway, and I can't wait to return.

This resort is a true slice of paradise with stunning beaches and beautiful natural surroundings. The access to beaches and snorkeling gear adds tremendous value to the stay. However, the service can be hit or miss, and the rooms, though charming, could use some updates and cleanliness improvements.

Caneel Bay Resort offers a spectacular escape into nature with breathtaking landscapes and charming wildlife. The tranquil beaches provide a perfect setting for relaxation, and the snorkeling gear included in the stay is a fantastic bonus. However, the food quality has declined and some service experiences were less than ideal. While the ambiance is paradise-like, certain aspects could use improvement.
