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.

It’s an adventure to get here but is so worth it. We came from Carriacou for 3 nights. Travelled over on the MV Pride ( Union to Carriacou and back on Mondays and Fridays), good crossing which took about an hour, Mario the captain looked after immigration for us. We were met by Roseman with his electric ATV to drive us to Chatham Bay, takes about 20 mins and the final part down to the bay is very off road but Roseman knows what he’s doing. Tenuta is beautifully set on this lovely beach. Only 4 cabins which are stylish and comfortable with air conditioning. Bar and restaurant are very good, lots of cocktails, beer, wine and genuine spirits (rather than the dodgy local ones). They have a pizza oven - yummy pizzas, as well as fish, steaks, chicken etc. Antonio, Ivana and the team run a really professional and friendly place here. Thanks to Lissia and Jeri-Lee for looking after us so well. There is snorkelling directly off the beach, kayaks and paddle board also available to use. There are a couple of beach bars/ restaurants at the other end of the beach if you want a change of scene. Boats moor in the bay and they come ashore in the evening. Highly recommend Tenuta and Chatham Bay

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.

This is an absolutely stunning, small resort with just 4 cottages, of which we took 3 for our family of six (youngest 14). They are super comfortable with excellent air con and quality beds so we all slept really well. We opted for the all inclusive package which was well worth it. Food, cocktails and wine were all excellent. Chatham Bay itself is beautiful with some great walks for those who don't mind a bit of a climb. There was lots of nature to see too. There is a small team of very hard working, friendly people who made us feel very welcome. One of the days, Iwona kindly organised a boat trip for us (with Damo) to Mayreau and Happy Island. Great value and well worth doing. We would love to go back sometime soon.

If you want glitz and entertainment this is not the place for you. If you are seeking privacy, tranquility, excellent food and drinks and quality accommodation, then you will love it at Tenuta Chatham Bay. Arrival is by water taxi which adds to the sense of adventure. There are four separate cottage bedrooms with huge comfy beds and bathrooms. All have verandas overlooking the bay. The bar area is a great place to just sit and watch the yachts that come and go in the bay, and to enjoy local cocktails or sample Antonio’s excellent Sicilian wine selection. Dining is reliant on locally caught fish, vegetables and we had a top quality steak one night - or enjoy the spectacle of Antonio’s home made wood fired pizzas from his specially imported oven. If you’re feeling in need of exercise, you can take a gentle stroll along the bay to one of several rum shacks on the beach. Then take a tip in the sea or float in the hotel’s infinity pool. Three days wasn’t enough at this special place where you can truly switch off, we will be back.

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.
