"Just a five-minute boat ride from St. Vincent, Young Island is both a private resort and the first in the Grenadine islands chain. Here, you’ll find a small, white-sand beach facing the channel that separates the island from the mainland. It’s technically for hotel guests only, but go for lunch at the very good beachside restaurant and bring your bathing suit—the resort won’t mind if you take a quick dip after your meal."

"Cast barely 600 feet from the island of St. Vincent, 13-acre Young Island couldn't feel farther from civilization. Twenty-nine cottages, all furnished with retro-Bohemian flair—lots of bamboo, wicker, and rattan, plus outdoor garden shower—have water views through deep tropical foliage. A swim-up Coconut Bar, just offshore is a fun excuse for midday tipples (try the Coconut Delight with local red rum). Saturdays are BBQ nights with a live steel band. Know that not all rooms have A/C, relying instead on large walls of louvered blinds, and none have televisions or telephones. Budget to add on lunch and dinner for an additional $150 per night above your room rate. Our top tips? A two-night tour of the Grenadines on a fully crewed yacht and a round of tennis atop the island with 360-degree views."

I just returned from a weeks stay at Young Island Resort. St. Vincent had been on my radar for more than 30 years. Young Island Resort did not disappoint! I loved everything about it. My cottage, the food, the amazing hospitality from each and every staff member, the huge pool and the beach. The beach area is on the smaller size but 100% adequate. The lush landscape is meticulously maintained and I now have a new favorite cocktail, a Tequila Sour. Next resy will be a 2 week stay!

A nice and peaceful visit-the journey on the boat taxi made it a beautiful start. I arrived there Saturday morning and stayed about one and a half hours. You have to make a reservation with the island for the day trips. However, they are usually fully booked. I recommend taking a boat taxi, pretty affordable. You may not get on the island boat without a reservation--so boat taxi is your option. DIRECTIONS: go to the area where Mangoz Restaurant and Bar is. You will see a small entrance between 2 buildings, with a security guard. ASK FOR KEVIN, he operates the boat taxi and is very reliable. You may have to wait 5 minutes if he is dropping someone off on Young Island. You will enjoy the island, you can snorkel too. The island bar has great drinks, but some day trippers took their own. The rum punch at the bar was quenching! The bartender was beautiful and kind and hospitable.

You may only be 200 metres from St Vincent but you feel like you are in a world of your own . If you want boxy homogenised living this is not the place for you . If you want true Caribbean style and character then it is the place for you . The staff were friendly efficient and a true credit to the resort . The food is totally delicious .. I looked forward to dinner every night (first night excluded as I had no idea at that point ) even though I had no idea what would be on the menu . The beach may be on the small side but there were enough sun beds and space to have a degree of privacy . The pool has the most beautiful setting and divided into two halves by way of its design , a deeper half and a shallower which was about 4ft deep . For me the best hotel pool I have ever swum in. I know others have mentioned the loud music on Friday and Saturday from across the water … it is loud but not enough to keep us awake and did it spoil our enjoyment .. definitely not. I don’t drink alcohol but their non-alcoholic cocktail list had more than enough choices for me and the bar staff were very friendly . Would I recommend Young Island Resort … absolutely .

My husband and I have just been to the Young Island resort restaurant and we were give such a warm welcome. The restaurant was excellent from the superb lunch menu to the view from the seating area. All the staff treated us with courtesy and made this such a pleasant dining experience. We would not hesitate to go back or recommend this restaurant. The staff on the water taxi were also polite and caring. Thank you.

We had a super week at Young Island Resort. Loved our cottage, the beach, gardens, wildlife (tree frogs at night), and the always friendly and helpful staff.||We especially wanted to send our thanks again to the General Manager, Bianca, for all her help when the first hop of our flight home was cancelled - and British Airways was no help at all. Bianca spent her entire evening in finding and booking an alternative flight for us so that we made our planned second hop. It was very much appreciated. Thank you!

The only reason it wasn’t a 5 was because of sound across the bay Friday and Saturday nights - all night long. I couldn’t hear hear the sound of ocean. Still was worth every penny! We enjoyed the simple life of small and beautiful cottage Island life. The people are wonderful. Everyday and night our room was perfect. The food is excellent. I couldn’t hear see great sunsets and sunrises. Loved the outdoor shower also. So much character.

Location is good but we didn’t feel very welcome. Bartender looked put out when we asked for a menu, tables weren’t clean, menu only in USD not the local currency like everywhere else. We had planned to stay for food but felt so awkward and uncomfortable we left after one drink. Main island is so much better and people are much more friendly.

Spent a few hours there after a stop off a Cruise. Needs more bar staff when Cruise ships arrive. One staff member was totally overwhelmed by people wanting drinks etc., at the one bar Owners lost themselves a lot of money. Extra staff, extra drinks to the ounters, extra money in the till. Common sense.
