Very clean environment beautiful gardens. Food and service in restaurants also very good.
Excellent place for vacationing.

Amazing resort, but…
We were there February 18 to 25. The resort is beautiful, amenities are good, beach is fantastic, view from oceanfront room is fabulous. Food was not the best we had in another resorts, but was more or less okey, service was good.The important negative points: 1) room has strong smell of mold. Several other visitors of the resort confirmed the same. 2) be aware of stomach virus there. Both my husband and me got sick last day of our vacation and know other people who got sick too. The reviews fro[... read more]m month ago mentioned the same, so this problem is ongoing for some time. These two negatives are the reason we can not recommend this hotel unfortunately

4* hotel
Stayed at diamond club walkout (DC)
The perks for DC at this Royalton are not the same as others. They do not have a dedicated lounge. It is the check-in area with a small bar and food. The DC building is located a distance from the buffet, the lobby bar, the café, the Italian restaurant, the French restaurant, the Indian restaurant, and the water sports.
You do receive premium liquor, robes and slippers, and a larger room. The dedicated beach has plenty of loungers, so there is no issue reg[... read more]arding reserving. 95% shaded.
There are three bars located on the beach near the DC area one bar located centrally on the beach.
No issue regarding reservations at the restaurants I had a man walk up to the restaurant at 7:15 asking if there was a 730 availability and he was granted The buffet is quite lacking in all areas, but they hired a new food and beverage manager three months ago, so it should be on the rise soon there is a small restaurant located on the beach beside DC called nibbles open for everyone for lunch usually a barbeque chicken, pork hamburgers, etc. nibbles is only open in the evening for DC guests
The water is Crystal clear. Unfortunately, the red flag is out most days. There are large rock formations everywhere on the beach. They have two dedicated areas where you can swim without rocks, but they are very small areas. I saw quite a few skinned knees. The staff is really friendly, but they are extremely slow. Most places definitely island time. I don’t usually mind slow service except when you’ve asked for coffee three times, you’ve finished your breakfast and your coffee arrives.
( DC Italian breakfast buffet )
Grenada is beautiful and safe and so is the resort!

A quiet resort
The staff provided outstanding service, always a broad smile, friendly and helpful.
It is a great venue for pure relaxation.
I would have appreciated more variety of fruit and fish on the buffet.
I would recommend the Royalton to friends and family.
Grenada a beautiful island.

Excellent resort
A very nice hotel, very clean, the grounds are beautiful with so many different flowers, the staff very helpful and polite always ready to when you need them. We had a wonderful time. One area that needs a lot of improvement is dining, both in food and service. Food is not the best, lacks in variety, quantity and preparation. Buffet is always the same no variety at all and very tasteless, quiet often run out of things (like shrimp, butter, fruit...) and if you went a little later there will only[... read more] be what others did not want because they were out of most of the food. Even though the staff was very nice they were very slow, something they would bring my coffee after I was done my breakfast. Things like these that made a bit unpleasant. A Carte Restaurant there was a wait of hours even though the restaurant had plenty of empty tables but we were told that that was for the diamond clients, we talk to the manager and he made the reservation for us. One thing that I was surprised is that I would have to pay extra (US$120.00) for a steak if I wanted one. When I go all inclusive I never had to pay for anything.

Really Nice Trip
We stayed at the Royalton in Grenada January 21-28 with 2 other couples, all in the 52-68 range. We had one hillside room, an oceanfront room and one couple stayed in the Diamond Club. The resort was a Rex when my husband and I were there last about 11 years ago with young children - this trip was all adult. Firstly, the ride from the airport is the best - literally 2 minutes from the airport.
Don't worry, you don't notice the planes during your stay! Next, the property of this resort is [... read more]beautiful. I can see that Royalton has added a lot of additional vegetation and flowering plants, which is constantly maintained. The beachfront is very long with worn reefs along much of it, so to swim, you need to find the areas where it is safer to enter. There is also a lot of palms and other trees along much of the beach so there is a lot of shade, and the chairs have cushions on them, so are very comfortable. Towels are plenty and there is no silly sign out of towels and they are always available. The waves can be strong, so care needs to be taken getting in and out of the water, particularly if you are navigating near the large rocks/coral areas. The views are stunning with visibility to the main town and cruise ships to the right of the resort and the temperature of the water was amazing. Vendors do come to the beach and are very kind and respectful. We bought a few things as we always want to support the locals where we can.
The rooms are nicer than before as they have been upgraded. The TV and AC were a bit temperamental to figure out at times, but we managed. The toilets flush like an airplane toilet (funny!) and the shower has a rain shower component above which was very nice. No complaints about the room, other than our ocean front room was at the end of the building with a partially obstructed view. We didn't have the energy to change rooms but would ask for a different location if we went back. We tipped the cleaning staff daily. The face and floor towels were not always replaced, nor the 2 beers in the fridge.
Food is never our primary reason for travel - we want to have safe, tasty choices and like to try local fare. Like any all inclusive, the food was varied and good enough for a week. We were all able to choose food at the buffet or restaurants that was good, but nothing really blew us away. Except maybe the desserts. In our experience, most resorts do not have desserts worth the calories. However, the desserts in the buffet were delicious - hats off to the pastry chef! On an island that makes chocolate, these might have been the best desserts, but tough competition with the other cakes and squares. YUM! No one in our group had any gastro issues at all. The specialty restaurants were fine. The 2 indoor restaurants, the French and Indian, were heavily air conditioned so take layers! It was freezing!
The staff are very helpful and nice, and again, there were no incidents that would make me think otherwise. There are several bars and everyone was happy with the drinks, etc. We didn't see a lot of the entertainment. There is a lot going on with water aerobics at the pools, yoga, etc. The night with the steel band was our favourite - they really got into it and the joy and energy was palpable. Can't say much about the other nights as we typically sat near a bar talking and saw lots of others playing games.
We did 2 day trips. One day we rented a catamaran for the day from Grenadines Sailing Escapade and the person's name was Magali. It was a 42' cat which we shared with the 6 of us plus two crew. We had a beautiful day going along the coast, doing some snorkeling and sight seeing. The chef was not available so the resort supplied wraps and sandwiches through the Diamond Club couple, and we took extra fruit and snacks from the morning buffet and grabbed some beers. The boat had a big cooler. It was a bit rough so the water wasn't super clear when we did the sculpture garden snorkel, but we still spotted many of the sculptures - maybe look at a map of the area to figure out where to find them better than we did lol!
We also did a day tour of the island with Tom from the Royalton beach. He is very funny and knowledgeable about the island's history and resources. We saw a lot of things I don't think the typical tours would do and many things that they would. It was a full day and everyone seemed to have a good time. The van wasn't new and the AC took a while to be felt, but it felt authentic. Note - the roads are narrow and the driving is crazy. Tom is a "driver" and actually made us feel safe with his amazing capabilities. I do not think I would rent a car and explore as the island is mountainous with many blind curves and we did see a couple of accidents along the way in the morning. I'd leave it to the experts! We saw A LOT during the day and I'm sure when we see our friends again, we'll be sharing some of the stories from that day!
All in all, a wonderful, relaxing week on a beautiful island at a pretty resort with nice people. Just what you want from a vacation south during winter.

Royalton Grenada Resort and Spa Review
This is a wonderful resort. It is small but has everything that you need. The food in the 4 restaurants were very good and the portion sizes were appropriate. I didn't find the Italian restaurant to have as many options that I would have expected but it was still good. The buffet had a good variety for breakfast. We only went there on the night we arrived due to our plane being delayed by 2.5 hours and it was good.
We enjoyed both the pools and the beach which were kept clean.
Over[... read more]all the place was clean and although there was a few spots where the rain water came in, they were on top of fixing it.
The entertainment was somewhat lacking but that is ok. I didn't go there for the night life. However, I really did enjoy the silent party and fire night.
But what makes this place is the customer service and the manager Yuvi. Everyone was genuinely friendly and Yuvi was always going around checking that everything was going ok. He remembered faces and offered to help with anything you might need.

Amazing Resort
The resort was beautiful only a short distance from the airport. The staff was so friendly. The rooms were so fresh and clean the butler service was so worth it. The restaurants were all a 10. The beach and the pools were beautiful. We will be going back 100%.

Excellent service
This was a very nice resort. The beach views were amazing; the grounds were well cared for, and the staff overall were very friendly and cared that they provided great service. The manager Yuvi checked in regularly to ensure guests were satisfied - he is a very hard working man! The food was delicious at the a la carte restaurants. The excursions provided from the resort were great value and there were lots of options. That made it easy to plan time away for exploring. I really enjoyed the cafe [... read more]that had lots of specialty coffee drinks and ice cream. Overall this is a great resort and I would definitely recommend it. We were not disappointed.

Friendly resort
Great beach with lots of shade. Buffet lacked selection. Al a carte restaurants were excellent. Staff was very friendly and helpful,Unfortunately by front desk needed to be called several times for towels , soap, and stocking the bar in the room. Otherwise I would have given a 5 star.

Quiet Resort to relax
The resort itself was well kept.
The rooms were nice and cleaned regularly by housekeeping.
The room fridge bar had very minimal alcoholic options (only beer)
There was also not a wide selection of food at the buffet and had a lot of the same foods repeated daily
The entertainment was low and not lively.

Wonderful Resort
This is a great resort. The service was excellent. The GM, Audrey was always on hand with a warm welcoming smile. The food and beverage manager, Yuvi, was obliging and worked hard to ensure guests were happy. Resort is clean clean clean!
No problem finding lounge chairs at the beach and pool any time of day.
Sunwing was also excellent.

Royalton Grenada delivers!
My husband and I chose Grenada and the Royalton to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary and had a great time! Beautiful resort, beautiful beach, beautiful island! We were very happy with our ocean front room and appreciated the celebratory touches added upon our arrival. We enjoyed the facilities, including all restaurants and the variety of delicious food with lots of activities onsite and friendly service. Only thing to caution for the beach is that in certain sections of the water, there we[... read more]re patches of sea urchins to be aware of. It would be helpful if these were marked/identified with some signage (water shoes recommended). Best area of the beach to avoid this is on the side of the resort just past the Italian restaurant and chill pool - splendid stretch, no sea urchins there! Other than that, only other thing to improve on is better daily replenishment of the in-room snacks and drinks in the fridge. Overall though, we had a lovely time and would go back!

A Trip to Paradise
From the moment that we touched down in Granada, my daughter and I were whisked through customs and an Air Canada representative was on the spot to arrange transportation to our hotel. The Royalton Granada Resort and Spa is a treasure. Tired from travel we were quickly and efficiently installed in our accommodations. The room was spacious, blessedly cool and well stocked with supplies. The grounds were beautiful and lush. Personnel of every description made themselves available to assist us[... read more] should we require. Programs like aqua-fit, and volleyball were there for those interested. The pool and bar area was pristine and the beach area for swimming was free of any debris. The restaurants were plenty with lots of choices. It was lovely seeing guests dressed for dinner. The food was plentiful and staff were available for special requests. Everyone we encountered went out of their way to ensure we had a great holiday. Also the hotel provided a series of excursions which my daughter went on and had a good time. These were extras but well worth it. In closing we both really enjoyed our stay in Granada and are recommending it to our friends and family.

Great stay at Hotel! But don't fly sunwing
Staff was great
Butlers were very helpful
We had a swim up room would recommend this room!
Diamond club was worth it!
Air Canada is the better way to go ,Sunwing was rude left us locked out of airport with no food water and not knowing what was going on for hours after flight delay and made to leave airport after it closed!
Paid for Optium plus did not get anything for this upgrade.

Good resort
Let me start with saying this; refuse to stay in the rooms 19301 to whatever number they go to, i.e. , 19310. There are steps in those rooms only. Curtains don't shut properly. Woke ip at 4 am first night to close curtains better and completely forgot about the 2 steps. Flew through air, cutting leg on weird coffee table, bruises everywhere. They only offered me to change rooms. No free massage, upgrade dinner. Nothing.

Drinks pretty go[... read more]od, but often don't have ingredients, but this is our 6th trip since Jan. 2022, and all places are having similar issues. Beautiful island, beautiful people. Some good staff, some bad. Bring a light jacket for evening. Not sure if cultural but just too much sugar in lasagna and mashed potatoes. Quiche was way too rich. And there is a steak at Italian restaurant, but they use a diff word so most don't kjow about it. Heard it was good. Don't get lamb kabobs but lamb vindaloo was awesome. Enjoy!

Sunwing and Royalton Grenada
Sunwing not so great don’t want to get into it. But Royalton Grenada was amazing. I don’t recommend diamond club not worth the money. but the walkout beach room was incredible. All the staff at the hotel were incredible. Food was very good.
