We had to leave early because of bed bugs. The bites were so bad it ruined our entire vacation. The hotel manager tried to blame it on bugs on the beach but if the bites were not there when we went to sleep but were there when we woke up, it can only be one thing. Also, the rooms are run down and the dishes in the cupboard were very dirty. The staff working there were all very nice so I feel bad leaving this review.

Chenay Bay is making a comeback! This place is ideal as a "base of operations' for travelers who like to explore, but is less well suited for those who prefer an 'all inclusive' type of stay. There are repairs and updates going on everywhere, from large to small. The pool is operational, and the restaurant should be again soon. The property recently changed hands, and now has an energetic and capable General Manager with the financial backing to make it all happen. Since it's been a few years of deferred maintenance, there is much to be done, so it will take some time and require patience on the part of guests. It's not all up and running yet, but getting there. If they can keep up the pace of repairs and renovations, the property should be in good condition by peak season.

Forget diamond in the rough, this is still a lump of coal. But it has sooooo much potential If anyone cared. The porch is 2x4 and has one chair. The kitchenette has a small microwave and mini fridge. Table setting for ONE. No table. The restaurant and bar are closed. You are entitled to one bag of half melted ice. When I went to grab on of those brochures about the island the woman looked at me like I was stealing a painting. I arrived to a stains toile with feces remains in it. Ewe. Just clean. Maintain. And built upon the great piece of property to have. Please. This place has so much potential.

Reading most of the reviews for this resort is really what's misleading. All considered, Chenay Bay was very accommodating and a great place for all in my party. For those interested in only staying at a resort and doing nothing else, they may be somewhat disappointed in the lack of activities compared to some of the higher priced facilities. However, considering the resort is still rebuilding after 2 hurricanes and a devastating fire, I believe no one should realistically expect anything better. My unit had a wonderfully kept pool right off the front porch and a private sandy white beach just beyond the pool. We came to St. Croix to enjoy the entire island, The owner and staff at Chenay Bay were amazingly nice, welcoming people. I'd stay here every year if a cottage was

This resort looks nothing like this in person. It’s the equivalent of a 400 pound, 62 year old woman posing as a hot 18 year old. I have never stayed anywhere where the facilities are so poorly maintained as to put into question your own safety. Save your money and patience and go elsewhere.

We booked this via timeshare - which indicated the exact same information as is listed on the "official" website for Chenay Bay Resort. However, upon arrival we learned the website has not been updated for years. Although the location is quiet and the beach is fine - the resort does not have a working pool. The restaurant burnt down a few years ago (so I was told). The resort does not have kayaks, paddleboards, or even beach chairs. And the rooms are quite dated. So, be aware that the pictures and statements on the website are innaccurate. This place has so much potential - it would be great to see it under ownership that leads it to reaching that potential.

The cottage we stayed in had roaches and ants. The bedding was not washed. The tiles in the bathroom was full of scum and the faucets were not connected properly. The plunger and the toilet bowl brush were stored in plastic bags. The towels were old with stains on them. The jetted tub had rust around the port holes. There was mold on the beams in the ceiling in the front room. The air was damp and the pages in our book dampened. The furniture was old and worn and needed steam cleaning or replacement. The pool was under construction but there was nothing preventing someone from falling into the empty hole which is a huge safety hazard. The pots and pans were old and had food stains on them and the cutting board had old food in the grooves. The dishwashing liquid was watered down

I've been a timeshare owner since 1991 and this is the worst resort that I have ever stayed at. The resort has potential, it just need more time and money spent to bring it up to a level where people feel comfortable staying there. A cockroach was laying in the middle of the floor, dirty dishes in the oven, broken blinds, inoperable lights...one person was running the entire resort which is crazy! She tried her best to keep up but it is too much for her.
