Mandarin Oriental, Canouan

Beautiful and Remote Location: The resort is situated in a pristine, secluded area of the Caribbean, offering breathtaking views of both the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean. Guests appreciated the tranquil and private atmosphere, ideal for relaxation and unwinding.

The resort was helpful in making island airplane transfers from Barbados. The rooms are nice a large with great porches and views. They greet you by name and remember your preferences. I want to give a shout out to so many great staff like Landy, Feiona, and Jada who did so many thoughtful things. I know I’m forgetting lots of others. We are both vegetarians and the chef at Lagoon created special meals for us that were not on the menu that were AMAZING. The service at all the restaurants was outstanding. Also several managers stopped by to touch base. The main beach at the hotel was battling the seaweed coming in which is becoming a common problem all over the Caribbean. We were able to get a few days of good beach weather and clear water. We did the hike up Mount Royal with Erasto. He is so full of energy and made the hike fun safe and enjoyable. He was always checking on us at the pool and beach frequently to see if we needed more towels or drinks. Above and beyond. The only thing I think I that needs improvement was the room cleaning. It was kind of inconsistent in the quality. The toilet was dirty upon arrival and few other things I found not clean . The turn down service did a great job. The resort itself is very clean. I love that they do not use plastic bottles. I had minimum contact with the butler. I would at least expect a a daily check in by text see if I needed anything. We often just ended up making our own arrangements with front desk staff or to find out info about the resort. It was the easier option. We also took the Island tour with Gideon. So informative. The greatest thing about this hotel is that it is staffed mostly by the local community.

Beautiful hotel with exceptional grounds. Very private. Butler service was fantastic. Staff at the beach especially were phenomenal with our little one. Great kids club. The only downside was breakfast service where there was consistant mistakes made in what we ordered and billing. Also reception staff were not friendly at all. Overall, a really lovely stay. Highly recommend.
