Young island is a beautiful resort with cozy cottages and excellent dining. BUT, the ocean water between Young Island and the mainland of St. Vincent has sewage contamination from boats and beach front hotels dumping their septic into that area. Several cases of Giardia, ear infections, and other illnesses have occurred from persons swimming in the water. Since the Governed... More

This is a great place to really wind down. When you first reach the Island you are greeted by Bianca, the General Manager, and with a fruit punch in hand. It is quiet, beautiful place where you can hear the gentle waves of crystal clear water reaching the shore next to your cabana. The rooms are excellent, the hospitality is... More

Great hotel for a romantic / beach vacation. Not recommend if staying for business (because of convenience of transportation). Hotel is located in an island about a 5 minute ferry boat drive our of St Vincent (main island). Hotel offers great service and food. If you want to be isolated, it is great if you want to stay on the... More

Young Island holds a very special place in our hearts. We've been there twice--once on our honeymoon, and now again, 33 and 1/3 years later. (If you recognize that number as the speed of vinyl, then you'll appreciate how long it's been between visits.) Would we be taking chances with irreplaceable memories by trying to revisit the past? Would we... More

Just as Chrisbaz said, Young Island second time around was even better. We too were on our second visit in 2 years and found Young Island to be everything we remembered and more. Words just cannot express how you feel when you step of that boat onto the jetty and taste your first rum punch in 12 months. Greeted by... More

We visited Young Island for the second time and if anything it was even better. I wrote an extensive review a year ago on Trip Advisor – and most other reviews give you more detail - so I will just list my main points: - the food is varied and top quality – outstanding; - Young Island is ‘mature’ in...

This is a great place to stay. Why stop in crowded Barbados when with a bit more effort and a couple of hours hassle with LIAT you could be here. Relax and chill out. Thanks to Bianca and all the team for a super stay.

Gosh you wouldn't think you could get through a five course meal in a little over an hour! I have never had such a quick meal. It was almost as if the choices were ready on plates in the kitchen, already to be whipped out speedily to waiting diners. The five course menu has two choices for each course. All... More

I recently visited for 5 days on a business trip. This continues to be a great resort. Staff were even more attentive, internet now available for most of the cottages, music from across the water nonexistent, food continues to be excellent. Overall no complaints, would highly recommend the meal plan. Breakfast and dinner are great. Remember if you would like... More
