Just back from a week at Greenwood Beach Resort on Cat Island, and I have to say, this hidden gem was a perfect Caribbean escape for us—miles of untouched beach, turquoise waters, perfect temperatures of both air and water. The peaceful, laid-back atmosphere made it an ideal place to unwind. Pauline and Antoine are incredible hosts; low key, and thoughtful, in a relaxed way , they are on task to help guests feel welcomed and at home. Wonderful staff all around. Whether you’re looking to socialize in the inviting common areas or find your own quiet spot to relax, they’ve created a space that feels both intimate and open. The other guests were a pleasure to connect with; people were around if we were interested to visit, yet at times we were the only people in sight in the water or on the beach. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the freshwater pool so nice to swim in or lounge around. The WiFi in the main lodge works well for those who need to stay connected,. Snorkeling with Antoine was a pleasure, he knew just which reef would be full of beautiful fish, and had the prefect gear for us. —Sean the chef is an excellent cook and baker. He's so warm, and funny, a pleasure to be around. The restaurant is a treat, serving delicious meals with fantastic service, known for miles around.

We had the best meal here. Wonderful service and delicious food. Chef Sean greeted us on arrival and is so personable. We had amazing fresh fish wonderfully prepared. Gorgeous location with a beautiful Long Beach. A don’t miss spot on Cat Island!

Greenwood Beach Resort is a star on Cat Island. Why? Antoine and Pauline provide a welcome respite from the mad-dash world. We dined here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and found the food enormously tasty and satisfying. The two gracious hosts transmitted their magic through music, magic tricks, and lovely European hospitality. On the shelves of the common room, you will find books and games to while away the time. We love Greenwood!

If you are looking for a name brand hotel, then this experience may not be for you. If you are looking for a beautiful beach, delicious and healthy food, clean rooms and the most wonderful of hosts, then look no further than Greenwood. We just got back from nine days here and enjoyed every second of our stay. Everyone, including those who served us, was so kind and accommodating to us. BTW, add one more star if you are into kite surfing, snorkel trips or getting your certification to dive. Antoine and Pauline have a passion for these activities and it shows in their expertise Dinners were made even more entertaining by Antoine and his card tricks. There was actually live music on the Friday night from Antoine and a guest as well. There is some snorkeling on the beach a little off to the right. Some parrot fish, yellow fin tuna and red snappers were seen. Being that the both of us lead very busy lives, we were content with just relaxing on the beach and doing our snorkeling on site. It was a plus for us not to have a tv in the room. Internet was only available within proximity to the restaurant. What was particularly striking about Greenwood was the number of repeat guests that we encountered. A few were making their fifth or sixth trip here. The outstanding features of Greenwood surely make a return trip quite understandable!!

We have returned to Greenwood 6 times! It’s like going home! Antoine, Pauline and the hard working dedicated staff do crazy stuff to make it a one of a kind experience.

We have returned to Greenwood 6 times! It’s like going home! Antoine, Pauline and the hard working dedicated staff do crazy stuff to make it a one of a kind experience. Tableside magic tricks, diving instructions, boat/ snorkeling trips, kitesurfing instructions, great and healthy food, honor bar, biking, music and more. We love being with them and they attract an international crowd who always become friends over the classy dining experience. They are so warm and accommodating! It’s on the beach that tops them all. It’s remote but that’s what makes it a beach wilderness for people who love the great outdoors.

We visited Greenwood Resort numerous times during our Cat Island trip. Beach is beautiful and would highly recommend booking a snorkeling trip with them. The owners Pauline and Antwon were very friendly and went out of their way to be helpful with information about the island. Relaxing place for lunch...

We visited Greenwood Resort numerous times during our Cat Island trip. Beach is beautiful and would highly recommend booking a snorkeling trip with them. The owners Pauline and Antwon were very friendly and went out of their way to be helpful with information about the island. Relaxing place for lunch but dinner there is special with Antwon doing card and magic tricks. We did a special request for lobster one night and were pleasantly surprised they were able to get it for us. Definitely our favorite place to visit on the island!

My husband and I were visiting Cat Island staying at a friends home but came to Greenwood for dinner. Excellent food and service. The entertainment was incredible. You cannot go to Cat Island and not stop there! Call in advance for dinner.

June 2025 - We enjoyed 10 terrific days of perfect weather, delicious meals, long beach walks and relaxing times at Greenwood Beach Resort! The managers, Pauline and Antoine, are the most energetic, hospitable people we’ve met. Other staff, Cornette and Stephenie, also made us feel at home. The grounds are very well maintained and the resort provides al fresco dining on a covered patio with a picturesque ocean view and light ocean breezes. Our bedroom was spacious with a king size bed. The food at Greenwood is reasonably priced and prepared to order. Chef Sean, a fantastic Irish chef, left due to family emergency part way through our stay. Pauline stepped up to bat and prepared equally delicious, well-presented meals for us. We were spoiled with homemade desserts including lemon meringue pie, coconut crème brulee, Isle Flottante and apple crumble. Antoine is also a talented magician and entertained the guests with his magic tricks.

My fiancé and I stayed at Greenwood for a week and it was a beautiful serene Paradise. Pauline and Antoine are one of the most gracious hosts we have ever encountered and Chef Sean was extremely accommodating and kept us laughing and full of tasty dishes all week long. Be sure to eat there on a Friday night so as to not miss Antoine’s karaoke and guitar jam session!

Are you looking for a magnificent large resort on hundreds of acres of impeccably manicured gardens? How about 5 swimming pools and a water park to boost? And, what about 30 odd restaurants so that you never need to eat in the same place twice? If this sounds like paradise…...

Are you looking for a magnificent large resort on hundreds of acres of impeccably manicured gardens? How about 5 swimming pools and a water park to boost? And, what about 30 odd restaurants so that you never need to eat in the same place twice? If this sounds like paradise… then don’t come to Greenwood, this is not the place for you! But… if you’re the person who thrives on the small, intimate, personal resorts, well then, Greenwood IS the place for you! From the minute you land on Cat Island, you realize you’re in a special place. Joyann, is right there to pick you up in her taxi van. She then suggests a stop at one of the few grocery stores to pick up a bottle (or 2…or 3) of wine and maybe a few snacks. It’s a 45 minute drive along a bumpy road to get to Greenwood, but as soon as you arrive and meet Pauline, you realize you’ve found a hidden gem off the beaten path. Pauline and Antoine, are the owners, and run the resort and the dive centre. They are so kind and welcoming, and at once you feel like you are part of the Greenwood family. The place is very peaceful, relaxed, rustic, and very clean. Shaun, is the chef, and we felt so lucky to be able to enjoy his cuisine. There is a menu, but we simply preferred to ask Shaun to prepare us whatever he had available… and we certainly had no regrets! The bar is well stocked and runs on an honour system. The wine you picked up, on your way from the airport can be kept in the fridge for a simple $10 corkage fee. No one seems to abuse the system, and again, everything is just friendly, and relaxed. It was unfortunate for us in that we hit a spell of bad weather, and although we had planned on three days of diving, we weren’t able to get a single dive in. As unfortunate as it was, Pauline earned our respect in that she didn’t even try to go out; it was a flat NO. We were considering extending our stay to try and get diving in, and to her credit, given our itinerary, she discouraged us from doing that, realizing that if we stayed we could still be disappointed. Although we couldn’t dive, we had a wonderful time, regardless. A passion of Antoine’s, besides diving and kite surfing, is magic! He loves surprising his guests with a touch of magic, just when you least expect it! So along with being entertained by Antoine’s tricks, we relaxed, caught up on reading, played games, swam in the sea, and enjoyed some great conversation with the other very interesting guests. The resort is very small, so you get to know the other guests, who are also there to be off the beaten path. We look forwards to our next visit. Thank you Pauline, Antoine and Shaun for a really special few days!

We didn’t stay at Greenwood, but discovered the restaurant. Pauline and Antoine were very hospital and friendly. Chef Sean was not only an amazing Chef, but also so personable. Had brunch and dinner multiple times. Food was delicious and service incredible. Highly recommend.
