“We had a great time!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 March 2005
4
people found this review helpful

I recommend this hotel.

The owner, Gus, is wonderful. We did not meet his wife, as she was out of town, but she is a native of the island. Gus is from St. Lucia. The property is right on the water and beautifully landscaped. Room was very clean.

The construction is fairly new (four years old, I believe) and in good shape. Although the accommodation was not inexpensive ($135 US), it is far less expensive than other places on the island (Raffles Resort and Tamarind Beach Hotel).

If you are going to Canouan, you should stay here!

But, if like the other reviewer, you are upset when little bottles of shampoo do not come with the room, perhaps you would be happier elsewhere.

Other independent hotels and guest houses seem to have been taken over by employees of the Trump Villas and the Raffles Resort. The Ocean View seems to be one of two establishments (the other is the Crystal Apartments) that has not rented their units long-term to resort/villa employees. (Although one of the Crystal Apartments is inhabited by such a person).

“Worst hotel experience”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2005

people found this review helpful

Our family stayed at the Ocean View Resort for two nights in the month of August for a family wedding held on the grounds.
The brochure mailed out to us differs greatly from the actual rooms. The headboard was FALLING off the wall as was the "night stand" between the beds. The locks on the doors did not work, and the bathroom was very dated and full of mildew due to the lack of ventalation. When the toliet became clogged, sevice brought a plunger and expected us to plunge the toliet. When asked for additional towels, it took 2 1/2 hours! Alarm clock, hairdryer, and tolietries are not provided. Stay elsewhere!

“A Reasonable alternative Moorings Sailors”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 July 2004

people found this review helpful

This place is an excellent and affordable alternative for lodging in Charlestown Bay , the main port of Canouan.
It is located right on the beach with a great view and adjacent to the Moorings with nightly rates half of the price of the other main alternative for charterers who must spend the night waiting to catch their early morning American Airlines flight.
Gus and his wife are delightful people and give this place the personal touch we were hoping for at the end of our sail. The rooms were clean and simple and nice.
The have a small boutique and internet access and helped us with our transportation. A small turtle farm is near the ocean on the property.
The island itself is undergoing huge changes with the Trump organization transformation of the two main resorts on the small island of 1500 residents.
This place keep the local flavor alive.
