藤努塔查塔姆灣度假村

This hotel is run by thieves, literal thieves. The hotel has not reopened since the hurricane. They however continue to take reservations even though there is nothing to reserve. They charged me $1700 for a booking in February that never happened and now refuse to issue a refund. This is despite them agreeing to a free cancellation, and me having documented proof. Now I’m stuck chasing booking and credit card providers and they continue to engage in lies. I have never dealt with anything that resembles the level of scamming and lying and theft that this hotel operates on. They should be delisted from all booking sites, and their owners charged for theft and fraud, and put in jail.

I’ve written this review several times which has been taken down each time. I went into detail about my awful experience and so I’m going to cut my review short by saying the resort was not what was advertised. There was no spa and there was an upcharge on 5 out of 9 dishes of which they were out of almost everything. It was the worst experience ever. Do not stay here is my advice.

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

Chatham Bay is a special place. We were sailing the Grenadines and came in for one night. Three days later we were still there. From the time the owner, Antonio, promptly took our reservation by email to coming out himself to tie us up to one of his mooring balls, no detail was overlooked. The beach is lovely, nice saltwater pool, and most importantly nice comfy sofas and chairs in the shade to enjoy it all. The food is excellent. Hint - Although it’s not on the menu they will make you a nice West Indian curry if you ask. Tenuta is not for everyone. If you are looking for a large resort don’t come here. If you like small boutique hotels completely off the beaten path with a genuinely friendly staff, you’ll love it.

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.

We had a truly lovely time at Tenuta. It must be one of the most relaxing and enjoyable places we have ever stayed. This is partly because of the very comfortable cottage, the excellent food, the amazing location, the beautiful views of the sea, and the almost deserted beach. However, the pleasure of being there also owed a great deal to the way we were looked after. It felt as though were staying with friends who were not only working very hard on our behalf but were interested in us as people and were happy to share something of their own lives as well. It really is a wonderful, peaceful place.
