Chenay Bay Beach Resort St. Croix: 2024 best deals

Chenay Bay Beach Resort is a popular resort with 35 cottages. Book direct for best prices from $160-300 (see below). Some are sea-facing, while others have a garden view. 

The resort has re-branded under the name Bungalows on the Bay St Croix.  As of early 2024, the Chenay Bay Restaurant is serving breakfast and lunch, and food trucks have been brought in as a temporary solution. 

better than all inclusive resorts

Chenay Bay is for travelers who enjoy being around lots of other people, hanging out at a bar which can often get loud with live music, and generally looking for a resort feel.

The resort is located on the east end of the island. It’s a pretty good beach for snorkeling and renting kayaks, stand up paddle boarding and other water sports and activities. It has a grassy bottom close to shore; this makes a nice environment for starfish, conch and sea turtles but may not please everyone looking for sandy-bottom only beach.

You’ll find some good snorkeling on the right side of the bay. On the beach, you’ll find plenty of shade.  Family-wise, this is a nice beach for young children because the water is shallow and calm. There is also a children’s playset to keep the little ones entertained.

This resort has faced challenges, like a hurricane in 2017 and having its restaurant destroyed by a fire in 2016.  The resort was sold in 2020 and new management took over and is making lots of renovations and improvements.  So we hope to see this resort return to good form.

Directions to Chenay Bay Beach Resort

As you can see on the map, it’s about a 25 minute drive from Henry E. Rohlsen airport on St Croix.  You can click on this map in Google Maps and it will navigate you to the resort doors.

If you don’t use Google Maps, then follow the signs to Christiansted and then East End Road (Rt. 82). About 4 miles out of Christiansted start looking for the sign on the left. Turn left here and take that road into the parking lot at the resort. You can park your car there and the resort reception office is the first building on the left. To get to the beach, walk about 200 yards straight through the resort property.
