Tenuta Chatham Bay

The hotel sells accommodation while it has not reopened after Hurricsne Beryl. I made a reservation and prepaid a room in November when they were claiming to reopen by Dec.15th only to have my reservation cancelled by them a couple of days before my arrival in the end of January leaving me with no place to stay in a devastated island claiming they hadn’t finished rebuilding it. Despite this, they have not refunded my booking of over 1000 USD and are ignoring messages for the refund.

A wonderful place for relaxation and quiet! The cabins are amazing, with such beautiful views, comfortable beds and a nice shower. The beach is clean and you can snorkel along the shoreline; on just on a few explorations we saw a variety of fish, eel and crabs. We also very much enjoyed the food and relaxed atmosphere, and the staff were attentive and caring. Earlier reviews have stated challenging access by boat, but we had a really nice trip from Clifton with an electrical 4x4 vehicle (last 10-15 min on a bumpy dirt road adds to the feeling of remoteness). The resort has an agreement with the Union Island Environmental Alliance (UIEA), and our driver was really nice, sharing his knowledge about the island, the forest, endemic species etc. It's 100 EC$, but very much worth it. We also ended up doing other activities (birdwatching and kayaking) with UIEA which we both very much enjoyed.

We chartered a sailboat out of Grenada and Tenuta came highly recommended as a good place for great food, safe and quiet anchorage and friendly owner so we made a stop there on the way to and from Tobago Cays. Tenuta is in the South side of Chatham Bay. Their mooring balls were very solid and the anchorage is very clean and calm. The bay looks lovely and the villas look absolutely stunning. We can tell that the staff took great care looking after the place. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed for low season (open in Nov) but the owner Antonio was super helpful and friendly. When we talked to him we learn that he is very passionate about the protection of Chatham Bay and the nature reserve around it. He is well respected in town and greeted by everyone that we met on the way. He is very involved with his resort/restaurant and sent his chefs for training in Italy. He didn't only help us with checking in/out and provisioning but also helped us fixed our rigging during his busy day which was way above and beyond. We would definitely come back and would highly recommend this lovely resort and restaurant to those who visit Union Island, Grenada or St. Vincent and the Grenadines to come experience his hospitality.
