Mandarin Oriental, Canouan

We have lived all over the world and traveled a lot in the areas we have lived... the week we spent here stands out to each and every member of our family. And we can't wait to go back. For my husband and I, what differentiated the MO Canouan was the service. Phenomenal team, exceptionally trained to anticipate your every need in the most natural and unobtrusive way possible. Our unassuming family, much in need of some quiet R&R when we arrived, felt completely cared for here. We were beyond impressed. The kids, aged 7 and 8 at the time, loved everything about Canouan. What they continue to mention (and write about at school!) is the "turtle farm", which hosts rescued baby sea turtles that you can handle, snorkeling near deserted cays, and just the overall family experience and bonding. They went to a cooking class one day and adored it! I can't say enough good things about our experience. It was perfect for a busy family to just chill for a week, immediately post-relocation/stress. Thank you again to the amazing team and hotel! (NB we went in 8/23, but the earliest date I could select in the drop-down was 9/23)

The level of professionalism here is truly outstanding. Every interaction, from check-in to check-out, was handled with efficiency and grace. The staff are clearly well-trained and take pride in their work, which shows in the flawless execution of their duties. Yet despite this high level of professionalism, there's also a warmth and friendliness that makes you feel genuinely welcomed.

If you're looking for a place to unwind and recharge, look no further! This place is like a little slice of paradise. The grounds are gorgeous - I spent hours just wandering around and taking it all in. The wellness classes were top-notch (yoga at sunrise? Yes please!), and the spa treatments were heavenly. Food was healthy an

Our family vacation was made extra special by our stay at this hotel. The kids were thrilled with the pool and the game room, while we parents appreciated the spacious rooms and the helpful concierge who guided us to family-friendly attractions. The hotel restaurant even had a great children's menu, which was a lifesaver after long days of sightseeing. It's not easy to find a place that caters to both adults and children, but this hotel nailed it.

yo listen up fam, this spot is straight fire! 🔥 no cap, from the second we rolled up it was nothing but good vibes. the staff? cooler than a polar bear's toenails. our room? cleaner than my grandma's kitchen (and that's saying something). the food? chef's kiss, my dudes. and don't even get me started on the pool situation - absolute paradise! bottom line, if you're not staying here, you're doing

This was our third stay in Canouan and our first time under Mandarin Oriental management. Our family had a fantastic time, and this remains one of the best-kept secrets in the Caribbean. Mandarin has lifted the quality of accommodation, food, and service to an entirely new level as this beautiful island deserver. Definitely a place to keep coming back to.

The family holiday over Christmas break was truly magical. Canouan is a true gem. Kids club was expansive. The resort was full, yet there was no crowd. Rooms are a bit dated but overall beautiful. Staff and management friendly and attentive - true to Mandarin style.

This is far and away the most beautiful resort we have ever visited. The rooms are beyond spectacular and the views are sublime. It is very remote so you do have to get on well with your companion! Every one of the staff are there to make your stay perfect and nothing is too much trouble. All you have to do is message your Concierge and the job is done! Food at breakfast and lunch was excellent and we ate a couple of times at the Lagoon Cafe in the evening, which was also very good (if empty) This is a stunning location and perfect if you need to just “flop”. Stand out Staff wise were Gideon, who gave us a fantastic tour of the island and our two delightful Concierges….Iola and Kia. Highly recommend ,

We have just spent a blissful 10 nights at this spectacular hotel. The staff look after you so well and are a pleasure to be around. So helpful and always smiling. Nothing is too much trouble. The hotel is a footprint of the wonderful Sandy Lane in Barbados, also one of our favourite hotels. Same decor and furnishings . The food in all the restaurants was outstanding with lovely fresh tropical foods from the Island. I’ve never felt so well looked after and relaxed from a holiday. The hotel and Island was quiet as it was November time but I understand festive holidays and Easter are very busy but we actually enjoyed the peacefulness. We will definitely return to this very special Island and Hotel.
