Canouan Island, one of the Grenadines islands, is home to the recently completed Trump Club Privee, a resort massive in comparison to the tiny island itself. The casino/resort is home to a magnificent 150-room hotel and one of Robb Reports’ Best of the Best Golf Courses. Never to be outdone, Donald Trump has built a European-style casino/resort on one of the smallest islands in the Caribbean; you don’t want to miss it.
Villa Monte Carlo offers intimate gaming in a wondrous Mediterranean villa perched on top of a high hill on the island. Game like James Bond on the casino’s 10 tables which offer Blackjack, Roulette, Poker and Craps. If slots are more your style, drop your coins, pull the lever and look out at the beautiful coral reef as you win your fortune.
Like everything else at the Trump Club Privee, the accommodations are top-of-the-line. Choose from a variety of room types. All offer satellite television, Internet access, plush Egyptian cotton bedding and 24-hour service. Many have sea views while others look inland to the island’s award-winning golf course. For true luxury, try the Orchestra 4 bed villa. They come with all of the above amenities as well as a patio with ocean views, four bedrooms, complimentary bathrobes, deep soaking tubs and brand-name toiletries.
Villa Monte Carlo is home to two restaurants; La Varenne serves up European gourmet dishes in a restaurant with stunning views, elite accoutrements and beautiful music. La Varenne also boasts an extensive wine list with the finest European wines and champagnes. Also on site is the Godahl Beach Bar & Grill, a slightly more laid back dining hot spot with views of the reef and ocean complimented by sumptuous local cuisine. For drinks, there’s Jambu’s Bar, where you can order up a $300 martini or you can enjoy your favorite cocktails at the pool bar.
Leisure is top-notch at the Trump Club Privee. For starters, there’s a full workout facility to keep in shape and the RafflesAmrita Spa to relax after your exercise routine. Get a massage or beauty treatment from some of the finest professionals in the world. There’s also a full range of water sports, including jet skiing and excellent sailing. There’s tennis, squash, swimming and kayaking. At to top it all off, there’s the Trump International Golf Club, a world-renowned 18-hole course where you can even golf in luxury.
Nightlife at the Trump Club Privee can be had, but it’s not your run-of-the-mill club experience. Enjoy a tasteful drinking experience at Jambu’s or catch some of the regular live music at Godahl’s Beach Bar. There’s a ballroom which regularly hosts cultural musical performances, and of course, there are those long romantic walks on the Caribbean shores.
To find the Trump Club Privee, fly into Canouan Airport via San Juan International and take a 5-minute drive to Villa Monte Carlo Casino, Raffles Resort, St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
