As a former employee of the original Caneel Bay, I witnessed firsthand the incredible and irrevocable impacts this resort had on the island, the local residents, the resort’s vacationers, and it’s daily visitors. Caneel and the amazing people who worked there set a completely different standard… one I have never seen matched anywhere on this earth - nor duplicated. Caneel enabled so much more than employment or a vacation destination, it breathed life into St. John and the residents…and it fostered community - a true community. Caneel also stood for things that no government then or today legitimately has any authority over. To ignore any of that and to refuse or block the proper rebuilding of Caneel is in a word, criminal. I fully support rebuilding Caneel exactly as it was originally constructed and in doing so now!
Kim supported: Rebuild Caneel Bay Resort and Return the Land to the People of St. JohnMy wife and I came to Caneel bay 20 years ago for our honeymoon. The experience in disconnecting was such a unique experience and allowed us to connect in ways we wouldn't have otherwise. I would love to be able to come back with our whole family to show them the magic of the property and the island.
Andrew supported: Rebuild Caneel Bay Resort and Return the Land to the People of St. JohnHad my honeymoon here. 5 star all the way. What I loved most is that it was not a high-rise hotel. There was nothing on the property that stole away the natural beauty of the land. Private, quiet, spectacular food and beaches. It often felt like we were the only one's there with what seemed like our own private beach outside our villa. The best snorkeling in my life ever was just steps outside the villa door. Such a shame if this one of kind spectacular resort is never seen again. It is exactly what the island of St John needs right now.
debra supported: Rebuild Caneel Bay Resort and Return the Land to the People of St. JohnWe have vacationed there 10 years ago, and we still talk about it. It was one of our most favorite places on the earth. We traveled all over the world. Caneel Bay is still on top of our list for revisit. Please rebuild it for St. John and local community.
Anna supported: Rebuild Caneel Bay Resort and Return the Land to the People of St. JohnOur family has vacationed at Caneel Bay a number of times and it is truly a magical place. We have so many wonderful memories -- the beauty, the turtles and other gorgeous fish we experienced while snorkeling, and the wonderful ambience.
Heather supported: Rebuild Caneel Bay Resort and Return the Land to the People of St. Johnmy husband I and honeymooned at Caneel Bay and have tried return many times since the hurricanes in 2017. We sincerely hope that it will reopen. It’s truly a magical place.
Kacie supported: Rebuild Caneel Bay Resort and Return the Land to the People of St. JohnI was married on the beaches of Caneel Bay in 2014. It was by far the most beautiful and breathtaking place I could have ever imagined exchanging our vows. I would love to go back and relive that moment and spend time surrounded by the warmth of the people, the grandeur of the resort, and the beauty of the grounds. It is truly magically.
Kimberly supported: Rebuild Caneel Bay Resort and Return the Land to the People of St. JohnI am now 72 years old. My first trip to Caneel was a graduation trip from high school in 1971. Through the years I’ve returned at least five times, maybe more. My heart was broken after the hurricane took her but the worst was the inability of those in charge to restore this very special place. I have spent the years since then hoping to return but at my age and health issues it has now become impossible. So now it’s too late for me but not for others. My wish is that politics steps aside and this wonderful place is again rebuilt and made accessible to those who will undoubtedly fall in love with her too. I salute the efforts to bring her back. On several trips I’d visited with a wonderful man and dear friend of my aunt and uncle when they lived on St Croix, Noble Samuel. He was an important figure in the islands many years ago. I wonder what he’d think. Probably just shake his head.
Mary supported: Rebuild Caneel Bay Resort and Return the Land to the People of St. JohnMy wife and I had our honey moon at Caneel Bay resort. And we would love to see EHI rebuild Caneel Bay to its formal state, better if they can. We have always wanted to take our two daughters back to show them how beautiful Caneel Bay is in the future.
Haotian supported: Rebuild Caneel Bay Resort and Return the Land to the People of St. JohnIn the mid 1960s, I worked at Caneel Bay resort. At the time, St John had 2000 natives and 200 white people, the latter of whom had all the high paying jobs at Caneel Bay except for one dear native. The native islanders were meeting quietly to discuss how change this job situation on THEIR island. How nice that 60 years later this may actually occur.
