If you need to inquire about prices this is not the vacation for you. The resort is very expensive and private. A price to pay for tranquillity and island beauty. The resort is 2000 acres featuring 2 beaches and one secluded by the 12th hole.( For those who like adventure) Main beach poolside the other beach is by the spa with comp water toys.

Arrived by Jet 30 mins from BGI and 7 min van ride to the resort.
Mgr cocktail is Sat Evening and the Sister hotel has live music on Sat and happy hour on Wed 2 for 1.
Suites are caribbean style ,Request hillside for the view
Our room was worn and needs tlc

Restaurants La Piazza favorite then Godahl's , Jambu and La Varenne( was ok not great).
Breakfast fresh juices, omelettes and waffle station, aasort fruit, meats, cheese, breads and etc.....
.
Fitness well equiped, enjoyed classess and morning and evening walks. For those who like adventure a steep climb to the top of the islands peak is worth the view. Not an easy hike and wear pants. For those who are early birds catch the sunrise by Amrita. A great way to start the day.

Spa What can one say aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh..

Overall the holiday was much enjoyed and would return. The grounds are beautiful, the resort is exclusive, soft sand turquosie sea (seaweed in spots) A caribbean paradise...

For photos go to youtube and search canouan .....

Key points.....
Great Golf, nice views & setting (after 3 room changes), unbelievable Amrita Spa facility (even though the staff needs more training and orientation), Godhal BBQ was an experience, plenty of turtles, individual carts (even though dirty) are a nice touch.

Hardly any boats for excursion available, no availabilty for neither the advertized Hike nor walks, rude Watersport Attendants (never saw a person in charge & only sleeping staff members), Beach Service is not existing and towels etc had to be arranged ($$$), many defects in our suite with insufficent follow throughs & repairs, Airline crews with their own drinks on the beach, where sent to the sister proberty (Tamarint Hotel) even when it was closed completly....

Bottom line: An average stay in a potentially nice resort; Service needs to be improved considering the low occupancy!!!!

We have been there in the beginning of September and it was overall an amazing stay even if the weather is not the best at this time of the year. The island is very pretty and especially as there haven’t been so many other guests it was really nice. There are two different beaches and you can also relax at the Pool or what we did once: going out on a boat to Tobago Cays (one of the sets of The Pirates of the Caribbean movie) with Phil & Nicola. They are just amzing, I can recommend this trip to everyone.

Our room was nice too, very nice furnished and very spacious with a huge patio. Unfortunately there are too many mosquitos in the evening but as we didn’t used it so much it was not a big problem.

Overall the service is very good and very personal. First of all Jennifer from Guest services was taken very well care of us, she was so helpful and nice and she seems to be everywhere!
I can also recommend Jambus restaurant, which is the main restaurant over there. The manager Santana was just outstanding and very focused in details. After two days he knew exactly about our preferences and he made things happen before we even enunciated them.

The french restaurant la Varonne was not as good as expected. We have been two other Michelin star restaurants and compared to them it was dissapointing. The food is not so special and very flat. The portions have been ridiculous small, not properly cooked and for the amount of many just a shame. The service was good as in all other areas of the resort.
Once in a week there is a BBQ at the beach, which is also really nice.

There are so many other things you can do, Golf, snorkeling, Tennis......we never felt bored. Of course this place is not an entertainment destination, because outside the resort is not much to do, but if you are looking for a relaxing vacation you should definitely go there. We have never been so relaxed before........

Stayed there just recently and found it rather concerning on how such rates are justified. The place is great but we found that the service leaves a lot to desire by all means. We understood from their staff that some of the key managers left which left them demoralized which showed. They seem to be open and willing to deliver; we did find some joy talking to them.

We had several problems with our stay and also felt that the handling - including the top line - was inappropriate and not passionate enough; we have approached the Reception several times but unfortunatly were not contacted by the Hotel Manager as we had requested. We stopped asking and continued our stay as much as possible, bothering about those things is not what we want on our much needed vacation.

Anway, if you are looking for a quiet place this is the one to travel to - especially in August when there are not too many others traveling. The prices are high and make you feel out of place even though you have enough.

Bottom line is that it is not enough to have a great setting...management needs to be more on the ball and keen to handling unwelcomed critisism.
