Detailed Reviews
No lounge chairs or tables at the pool. Junk all around the property. There is not a bar or a restaurant here. They put out a “ breakfast buffet” in the mornings which was eggs to order on a grill and a couple other things. Makeshift bar set up on a folding table. People are super nice but this place needs a lot of work to say the least. Pictures are very deceiving on the website. Rooms were run down but the view was awesome. Very low pressure in the shower and it drained slowly over a couple hours. Bed was comfy. Tiny coffee pot was dirty and the fridge was rusty on the outside. Stray cats make your porch theirs so don’t leave your door open because they will come in. This place has so much potential but it would take a fortune to get it up to par.

Odd booking. Started in one cottage moved to much better unit. Units need serious deep cleaning. Kitchen, 1 bowl lol. New refrigerator freezes food. Pool clean, infinity and hot tub gone.
No notice of events on premise. No continental nor any breakfast.
Staff friendly and helpful but struggling without a system and management. Great location, beach is beautiful.

Wow, the location is amazing and so relaxing! There is some disorganization in booking due to changed ownership but new owners are trying hard. Our first cottages were horrible, not what we booked but they moved us to a nice upgrade. Pool needs work but it is VERY nice. Bar is the best ever, entertainment and fun. The food!! If you are not big on fancy but love lush grounds, not fighting for beach chairs and amazing views then this is your place!

The cottage we stayed in had roaches and ants. The bedding was not washed. The tiles in the bathroom was full of scum and the faucets were not connected properly. The plunger and the toilet bowl brush were stored in plastic bags. The towels were old with stains on them. The jetted tub had rust around the port holes. There was mold on the beams in the ceiling in the front room. The air was damp and the pages in our book dampened. The furniture was old and worn and needed steam cleaning or replacement. The pool was under construction but there was nothing preventing someone from falling into the empty hole which is a huge safety hazard. The pots and pans were old and had food stains on them and the cutting board had old food in the grooves. The dishwashing liquid was watered down and the cleaning sponge was old and had been used. The outlet was open in the bedroom with no face plate. The closet door was missing so in order to have light, you had to manually screw the light bulb in and out. One of the chairs on the porch had a broken leg so only one of us could sit down.
This resort is not recommended at this time. Maybe if they do a complete overhaul in the near future it can be reconsidered but not now. Staying there was like camping indoors.

Reading most of the reviews for this resort is really what's misleading. All considered, Chenay Bay was very accommodating and a great place for all in my party. For those interested in only staying at a resort and doing nothing else, they may be somewhat disappointed in the lack of activities compared to some of the higher priced facilities. However, considering the resort is still rebuilding after 2 hurricanes and a devastating fire, I believe no one should realistically expect anything better. My unit had a wonderfully kept pool right off the front porch and a private sandy white beach just beyond the pool. We came to St. Croix to enjoy the entire island, The owner and staff at Chenay Bay were amazingly nice, welcoming people. I'd stay here every year if a cottage was available.

Electrical hazards, tripping hazards, pictures of resort must have been taken years prior. Locals overrun the pool, the facilities beach and use the chairs and grills, etc. We were the only "vacationers" there at the time. 3 cottages used by maintenance (who did nothing), and housekeeping and their families. Pool disgusting, dock broken apart, kayaks thrown into trees, mongoose and stray cats and dogs on property. Parking lot looked like a car junkyard. No staff on site, finally saw a "maintenance man" on our last day and he repaired a rotten wood step up to unit. I have taken dozens of pictures to post. A true nightmare. Gave us a bad taste of the whole island of St. Croix. No internet or television worked. Workers for starting up refinery housed here.

We booked this via timeshare - which indicated the exact same information as is listed on the "official" website for Chenay Bay Resort. However, upon arrival we learned the website has not been updated for years. Although the location is quiet and the beach is fine - the resort does not have a working pool. The restaurant burnt down a few years ago (so I was told). The resort does not have kayaks, paddleboards, or even beach chairs. And the rooms are quite dated. So, be aware that the pictures and statements on the website are innaccurate. This place has so much potential - it would be great to see it under ownership that leads it to reaching that potential.

We booked this property based on the reviews. Not sure where those folks at but it couldn’t have been here. We woke up three days in a row to no hot water. Had to go hunt down the handy man Tyson, who was awesome, to get the hot water running again. Any time we needed clean towels or toiletries we had to go to the office and wait from them to bring what we requested, they didn’t have any soap the final day. We were there seven days and the bungalow WAS NOT CLEANED ONCE! Seriously?!?! The bar was fun. The food was really good but a limited menu. I realize the owners say it is a work in progress but the bungalows are disappointing and should not be rented until renovated. There is a lack of functional kayaks compared to the number of people who wanted to use them. If we could have found a vacancy somewhere else on the island, we would have left. We will not be returning and have already suggested to a few friends planning on a trip to St. Croix to not book here.

I've been a timeshare owner since 1991 and this is the worst resort that I have ever stayed at. The resort has potential, it just need more time and money spent to bring it up to a level where people feel comfortable staying there. A cockroach was laying in the middle of the floor, dirty dishes in the oven, broken blinds, inoperable lights...one person was running the entire resort which is crazy! She tried her best to keep up but it is too much for her.

I've stayed at Cheney Bay 7 times since 2016, and it is finally beginning to live up to its potential. I stayed in March 2022, with our last stay in June 2021. It has long needed a lot of work, and it finally getting the attention that it needs. While there is still much to do, this property manger John McCoy is making dramatic improvements. Many of the cabins have been renovated, lounge chairs have been added at the pool and the beach, The pool is open. The grounds are better landscaped. The restaurant is also functional, providing free breakfast for guests and lunch, but no dinner. They brought in a food truck to serve as the restaurant until it's fully online. Food at both breakfast and lunch were very good. The location is great, with a beautiful bay and great snorkeling. It's not a Sandals style resort, but is a perfect base for explorers. You'll find a small kitchen with fridge, microwave, coffee maker, but no stove or oven.

You might call them and explain. They were very accommodating. However it is a walk from the car to the unit
Yes, the units are air conditioned and very comfortable.
Hi Leslie,
It's not an all-inclusive. As far as I know St Croix has only one or maybe two all-inclusive resorts. Cheney is a great base of operations if you like to explore, but if you plan to stay in one place all week you might get bored. I only ate one snack from the restaurant so I didn't rate it. The owner's grandson is running the bar and his buddy is running the kitchen, so it's a small operation, but super friendly. The quesadillas we had were good, and what I saw on other's plates looked good. They have a little bit of everything on the menu $10-$20, omelettes, pancakes, sandwiches, burgers, and a couple of dinners. So it, too, is a bit limited for a full week, so you're better off exploring the island by rental car and sampling some of the many great options. Click on my profile for a good range. Have fun!
They will do your laundry fold it put back in your room for $10
