Day 6: Bye bye Grande Bay~Hello Caneel Bay!!
We really enjoyed our 5 night stay at Grande Bay and loved being able to walk all over Cruz Bay.
But this trip was full of *firsts* and something I've always wanted to do is stay at *Caneel Bay~
* After checking the 5 star pricing, it looked like 1 night at Caneel would have to do. So, the Grande Bay van took us over to the taxi stand and we were on our way~~~~~~~
We kinda got there super early but happily hung out on *Caneel Bay Beach* until our room was ready at noon.
I love this blurry shot of the cruise ship group looking down at us because I remember standing up there just like them 10 years ago and couldn't believe my eyes . . . breathtaking beauty~
Our room was ready and a golf cart took us up the hill to the garden view suites that looked over the pool and tennis courts. It was also close to the bus stop that can take you all over the property.
We settled in, grabbed our snorkel gear and took the bus to check out the property. So beautiful and much, much bigger than I imagined!
Our first stop was *Scott Beach.* WOW
We snorkeled straight out and to the right and the underwater aquarium was quite impressive! Big elk horn coral too! In the back of my mind I wanted to check out other beaches but there was some kind of magnetic, mesmerizing beach shield that kept us there to soak up all the beauty. It was late in the day when we finally pulled ourselves away only because we didn't have lunch and were downright hungry! We caught the bus back, cleaned up and headed to the Caneel Beach Grill for the sunset and dinner.
Delicious dish in paradise!
We returned to our room relaxed and ready to do it all again tomorrow on our last full day!
