Relaxing , Beautiful and Laid-Back Island Resort

The Chenay Bay resort was a wonderful escape from the hustle and bustle of our large westcoast hometown. The grounds were clean and inviting. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful. The individual cabana rooms were very comfortable and cozy (plenty of room). Having the kitchenette and studio-sized room and ammeneties was great. We never felt like we were in a large crowded resort. The on site restaurant was unfortunately closed for the majority of our stay, but we were able to find a wide variety of delicious fare in town.

Sweetly sublime

Our escapade to this oasis of bungaloes was a sweet respite from the ordinary everyday chain resort/hotel. Friendly people, relaxed atmosphere, and a very comfortable little beach were just what we needed.

Friendly, Basic, nice amenities, beach just OK

The staff were great and friendly. Dining on site could be a little more varied, but there are other good nearby dining options. Complementary kayak and snorkels were amazing - we kayaked out to the island (behind it) in the bay and snorkeled by ourselves - lots of beautiful coral, clear water and explored the island a little. The pool and hot tub were great too - clean and modern. The scent of jasmine was intoxicating. The cabins are spacious and all you'd need - the fridge and kitchenette were a nice bonus. The mattresses could have been more comfortable and the linens a bit more upscale, but all in all, a great spot. The only downside was swimming at the beach. It's so shallow and in September, when we went, the water was choked with seaweed/algae. But all the beaches on St. Croix are publically accessible, so a short trip to another beach is recommended.

St Croix RIP

It looks like St Croix used to be a nice place. Now the coral reefs are almost all dead, erosion from uncontrolled construction has made the water milky and cloudy, so even if the reefs had not died you would not see much anyway. The streets are dirty with garbage strewn about. Don't bother with the attractions like the Christopher Columbus' Landing spot - there is just a pile of garbage dumped on the beach and no interpretive signage or museum. When we tried to follow the road using ghe park Service signs neading to a columbus landing center, we fnd a locked fence and behind ita dilapidated old concrete block house and no access, and almost got stuck in the mud from a broken sewage pipe. the old sugar refinery was abandoned and falling down. The Cruzan Rum distillery makes no atempt to hide the yeast sludge they pour directly into the ocean, increasing eutrophication. When we tried to go snorkeling in one place, Fredidrickstead, where we heard the was a little residual living coral reef and few fish, we got there and me t a couple who had just returned form swimming and fond that their rental car had been broeken into and all of their belongings, wallets, eye glasses etc, had been stolen. We left before we became victims. Christenstead looks like a crime waiting to happen - dark and dingy - so we did not bother to spend much time there. Overall , we recommend you find another island that has not become a poster child for over exploitation and has not learned the word, "sustainable." they have killed the goose that laid the golden egg and turned this paradise into a cesspool.

Best place for seclusion, R&R and pets...5 answers

Would love to travel to St. Croix, but would love to bring my 2 furry best friends as well - is there anything to accommodate this?? Are the hotels pet friendly? How would this work if I were to purchase a deal as far as air fare goes? You should create some deals with PetAir :)

We do not have information regarding resorts that may be pet friendly as most countries require the animals to get shots and be quarantined upon arrival.

MariaCC

do yourself a favor and leave them at home. They won't appreciate the relaxing time and you won't either.

travelingmason

As far as pets go, I would not bring them as there are many biting bugs and mosquitoes that might harm the animals. I would suggest leaving your animals at home safe and bug free.

No pets allowed at Chenay Bay, but I think they will find a place for a pet somewhere else.

St. Croix is the largest and most rustic of the United States Virgin Islands. The beaches of St. Croix are beautiful, plentiful, and open to the public; and the marine life and shoreline drop off are a draw for interested divers.

Chenay Bay Beach Resort

Chenay Bay Beach Resort is located on the best sand beach on the north shore of St. Croix, and is nestled on a green hillside overlooking the blue Caribbean Sea. Chenay Bay, named after a French sea Captain, is protected by Green Cay National Wildlife Preserve, a small island a mile off the shore. The quiet natural environment is further enhanced by the lush tropical landscape.

Families are their specialty at Chenay Bay. The casual, beachfront atmosphere and cottage-style rooms with kitchenettes are just what families are looking for. Gravel paths lead to the nearby shore, where you'll find a large L-shaped pool, a protected beach, picnic area, and a casual restaurant and bar.

Complimentary snorkeling, kayaks, sunfish sailboats, floating mats, beach toys, playground, volleyball and tennis are available for guests. Beach hammocks, a hot tub and the big blue pool serve those who just want to relax. Nearby are numerous beaches, scuba diving, golf, parasailing, horseback riding, and sailing.

A shuttle service runs between the resort and Christiansted so you can shop and visit the quaint Dutch town, or schedule a tour or rent a car and do some island exploring on your own.

Kayak over to Green Cay, a small island nature preserve right in front of Chenay Bay's beach, or snorkel around the Cay and see coral formations, schools of juvenile fish and resident turtles.

A car rental is definitely recommended for exploring the island and having easy access to local restaurants and shops.

DINING:

THE ISLAND HOUSE - This beachfront restaurant, overlooking the Caribbean Sea, serves Continental and Caribbean-style cuisine daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
