Caneel Bay, a Rosewood Resort, offers 166 guestrooms without televisions, telephones, radios, or clocks in one- and two-story widely scattered buildings. (Telephones are available in the main building and are sprinkled around the property, and guests can borrow cellular telephones.) Made of concrete or stone and wood, earthtoned lodging buildings are designed to blend into the landscape. They have flat roofs for a low profile and are flanked by dense gardens.

Rooms feature large windows and include balconies or ground-floor terraces with cushioned wrought-iron patio furniture, including lounge chairs, chairs, and cocktail tables. Room size, construction, and decor vary, because rooms are designed to be unique. All rooms include wood, rattan, and bamboo furniture, fabrics of muted colors, terrazzo or tile floors with straw-mat area rugs, tile vanities, and wood louvers that can be opened to tradewind breezes supplemented by ceiling fans as a cooling alternative to rooms' air conditioners.

Rooms feature signature Rosewood Beds consisting of extra-thick, custom-made mattresses, Egyptian-cotton Italian-made sheets (including double-twisted, satin-finish top sheet), and down/feather pillows. Thick towels including bathsheets provide additional comfort. In-room beach towels and umbrellas provide convenience.

Complimentary amenities consist of a bottle of champagne, a large bottle of water, a keychain flashlight, Lady Primrose toiletries, and straw slippers for guests to take home. Smoking is not permitted indoors.

Ocean-view rooms are in one- and two-story buildings either set back from the water or spread around a rocky point. Tennis Garden rooms are in one-story buildings with ready access to the resort's 11 tennis courts. Also in one-story buildings, courtside rooms are located nearest the tennis courts and fitness center.
