Caneel Bay, 1953 On-StJohn.com reader Ben sends us his vintage Caneel Bay brochure, this one from 1953. (Click to see larger.) Winter rates started at $200 per week. That included service of “a native maid/cook.” “The bedroom, where you are apt to sleep under blankets. Your maid attends to everything…from cleaning and cooking to placing fresh flowers in vases.” 3 Responses to “Caneel Bay, 1953”Leave a Reply |
