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.
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.
