The food was amazing thanks to Chef Michael,Chef Jose & the entire kitchen staff. Gilbert was so friendly at the Nasma and Godfrey. We are definitely coming back.

It was so good to be back at Turtle Bay. The NPS has done a good job of getting all the facilities up and running, and there are some new places to get drinks (recommend the lime & coconut drink) and food ( recommend the pulled pork - yummy).

Loved getting to swim in the water near the turtles. I saw one but that was because I stayed in place and didn't stay out long. My husband saw a couple more. The beach isn't as nice as some of the others because it isn't as wide and it is right up against the road. There were allot of families and children at this beach. However I ranked it so high because of the Turtles.

Caneel is closed so the only way to visit is by Sea. We rented kayak for day and stopped here for first time. Beautiful beach. Ate our lunch here. Extensive damage to buildings

Sadly closed due to the September 2017 hurricanes. I do hope they can rebuild soon. Caneel Bay is a very special place.

All of the beaches at Caneel Bay were exceptionally beautiful but Turtle Bay was our favorite! Aside from the beautiful view, it also has great snorkeling and no crowds at all. Very relaxing, quiet and gorgeous and still has food and beverage service.

Stayed at the Turtle Bay house and it was perfect to have such a beautiful beach only a few feet away from you room. The coral is beautiful, abundant sea life of all kinds. Chairs are covered by trees from the sun. No need for an umbrella. Best part is limited traffic. We kept coming back for the beauty.

Great location for swimming, snorkeling, relaxing and taking in the sea life and corals. In addition you can watch the sailboats as the pass through the channel.

Worth the ferry ride from St Thomas! Amazing! Chairs are pricy at $10 each, snorkels and such are there for rental, not sure how much they were. Bathrooms were clean. Everything you need at one location. Could stay all day, but take time to tour other locations, beautiful island wish we stayed over night!
