We have just returned from a heavenly week down in Canouan. We were staying at the Tamarind Beach Hotel, the more intimate resort on the island. All of the people working at the hotel could not have been friendlier, more welcoming, and helpful. We took advantage of some of the activities offered -- such as an island tour by a... More

Both Tamarind and Raffles share the same owners. All staff members are very courteous and genuinely friendly. They will try their best to get you anything you wish for on the island. The management team is Italian and they freely interact with the guests, giving a warm homely feeling. The menus definitely reflect an Italian nature. The food is unique,... More

Prior to visiting the Caribbean, you are always told that the 'people are warm and friendly,' but most times, that is not the case. (as a citizen and resident of the Caribbean, I can tell you this for a fact since a lot has changed over the years.) At Tamarind we met the most kind, well-mannered and 'down to earth'... More

Canouan is one of the most beautiful islands in the Caribbean. In fact, it has a bit of a South Pacific feel to it that is missing in other parts of the region.

The standard rooms were a bit smaller than we expected from the pictures on the web site so we upgraded to a suite, which... More

We spent four nights at this hotel earlier this month - and were seeking a quiet haven in order to chill out after being in Barbados for the cricket. The hotel is situated on a lovely beach of white sand and is right on the water's edge - and the ocean is warm, turqoise and inviting! There are no pebbly... More

I just returned from an incredible 4 days at the Tamarind Beach Hotel in Canouan Island. The hotel had just what I was looking for.....a beautiful beach, great food and an amazing staff. The island is only 5 square miles but there was lots to do to keep busy. We took a day trip via catamaran to the Tobago Cayes... More
