We love hearing the words, "Oh, no. I've got this one," so naturally our interest was peaked by Caneel Bay's "We've Got It Covered" offer, the first all-inclusive package of its kind for the St. John resort.

For the month of September, $595 per night will get you a room, daily buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner at the resort's restaurants; round trip airport transfers; poured beverages, which yes, includes alcohol; and gratuities, taxes and service charges, all included.

Plus, you'll still get all of Caneel Bay's existing complimentary services, like a welcome bottle of island rum and use of sailboats, kayaks, windsurfing and snorkeling gear, as well as access to the fitness center and pool.

All in all, not a bad deal on a place with rates that start at $395 and that previous guests simply love, based on their reviews. And with those $600 stimulus checks in the mail, you can let the government pick up the tab on this one. However, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Models are not included.

Turns out Caneel Resort shared the spotlight with Marisa Miller on the cover of Sports Illustrated's 2008 Swimsuit Issue, released today. Fashion photographer Raphael Mazzucco shot the cover back in October of 2007 when he and a bevvy of swimsuit models shacked up in Cottage #7 -- the original quarters of founder Laurence Rockefeller and still the resort's most requested accommodation -- for a twelve day shoot.

The St. John, U.S.V.I., which already boasts seven white-sand beaches, and Rockefeller roots, can now claim to be a SI cover resort.

Over on Jaunted, they have details on all the 2008 SI swimsuit shoot locations, mapped of course.
