True Blue Bay Boutique Resort: Great stay!
Beautiful resort with a lot of nature. My only concern was the variety of food. Personally travelling to the island I want to indulge in non American foods. I only experienced breakfast during my stay and for the most part I was having the same food everyday. It’s be nice to have breadfruit, baked and salt fish, plantain, more foods from the island

Royalton Grenada Resort and Spa: Wonderful Holiday
We had an amazing time at the Royalton in Grenada. The grounds were beautiful. The staff was eager to please. The rooms were fantastic and the beach was lovely. If I did go back, I don’t think I would book the Diamond Club. For the extra money that we paid, I felt it wasn’t worth it.

Royalton Grenada Resort and Spa: The good and the nit so good, an honest review
Honest review as we wait to go to airport.
1. Arrival and check-in. It's a little unsettling to pass over your passport and then see staff walking around with a stack of them looking for the owner's. Got ours back. Rum punch was nice idea could be better executed as it's way too sweet and strong.
2. Bellman helped with bags when we arrived as we were on 3rd floor but at week's end, even though they called to make a time to pick up our bags we waited 1 hour past the time and still no sh[... read more]ow so we had to carry our bags down 3 flights
3. Room . Got exactly what we paid for as non DC and non ocean view. it was clean. Comfy beds. The towels were always changed and fridge refreshed with water daily. Decent vanity space and large shower with lots of warm water.
4. Vibe club. Total miss here. Played deafening music that was some version of rap with a heavy base beat that went right through you. It made it impossible to stay at the pool. Even when asked, they did not change music for long. Average age was 50+ and I can't believe I was the only one annoyed by this. Didn't see any engagement with the vibe team as they seemed to be talking to each other or on their phones.
5. Fitness. Morning yoga was great as were the twice weekly off property walks. Only went to aquafit once due to timing but it was good also. I'm a Morning person so did not do yoga in afternoon but assuming it was as great as morning. Shout out to Kelson and Jeremy. Didn't use the gym but it looked well equipped. Always had bottles of water.
6. Cafe. Great cappuccino and always cold bottles of water. I tried the cinnamon sugar donut, yummy!
7. Bars well stocked and service pretty good overall. Good white wine, always nice and cold, and good proseco
8. Food. A huge miss here. MA maison and Taj both really good but nothing exceptional. Don't waste your time at Grazzi for either lunch or dinner. Breakfast buffet was consistently good with made to order omelets. Lunch and dinner at buffet was inconsistent. Some days pretty good and others dismal. All fish was terribly over cooked. Too much chicken. Nibbles for lunch was OK and conveniently located.
9. Service. We always had great service but we approached the staff wigh respect and kindness and tipped as appropriate. The service is The only reason that it's a good resort- save the bellman debacle at checkout. We tipped where deserved but a smile and a kind word did wonders to gaining a positive interaction.
Any questions, just ask
10. Excursions. We did private with Dave's tours. Exactly what we asked for. Would recommend
11. Spa. Very professional and the 2 treatments I had were great!
12. Beach. Best for swimming was the small beach where water sports are located. DC Beach was rockiest. Middle beach always had lots of loungers and pretty views. Could use more shade umbrellas.
13. Safety. Very safe island.
Took taxi into town. It's expensive.
Also took the local bus by myself with no issues. I recommend this adventure!!

TRIPCENTRAL RECORD No. DJZNHF

ROYALTON GRENADA LUXURY ROOM OCEANVIEW
(The following comments are unlikely to apply to “The Diamond Club” which occupies a separate area.)
The hotel occupies a large area and has 9 residential buildings, each with 24 units in 3 stories arranged around a huge rock formation.
The web listing shows: 44 Luxury Oceanview Rooms
39 Luxury Oceanfront Rooms.
There is no indication as to which[... read more] building and which floor each of these listings applies.
Our assigned “Luxury Room Oceanview” was 14302, at the top of the property and on the 3rd floor. The 3 main restaurants are located in the main building which means that an 88 year old woman with arthritis and a 90 year old man were obliged to walk 320 steps and 84 steps on staircases, up and down, 3 times each day in 30 degree temperatures.There are no elevators or escalators on the property.
We were able to access the beach area only twice during our stay.
( There are electric carts for transportation within the grounds but, the wait times are long as it seems that only I or 2 are available at any time. At checkout, the bell captain made a reservation for a cart to take us and the luggage to the lobby; no cart was available and we had to walk with a porter dragging our luggage down to the lobby.)
The room listings should provide an indication of the building location and the floor level of each price listed.
Our “Luxury Room Oceanview” was a very standard room having no second chair, no mirror in the bed area. There was mold in the shower stall.
AC 1337 –Return flight
At times there was a steady stream of Economy Class passengers coming through the dividing curtains to use the Business Class washroom. At such times the Business Class washroom was unavailable to us.
No effort was being made by the Cabin Crew to confront this ingress.

Royalton Grenada Resort and Spa: 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

Royalton Grenada Resort and Spa: 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!

Radisson Grenada Beach Resort: Beautiful hotel
The Radisson Grenada Beach resort has beautiful grounds, an amazing large pool, and an awesome location directly on the best beach in Grenada. We were pretty nervous going in due to all the negative reviews but took a chance because of the location.
While it’s true that the rooms are in need of renovation, we really had no complaints about our room, which was on the third floor of the Executive Beachfront building. It is a four story building with one elevator. We heard that the rooms in tha[... read more]t building are quite similar to other rooms but more spacious with more spacious bathrooms. The bathroom had one sink with lots of counter space and a bathtub/shower combo. There was an extendable clothesline in the tub. There was a hairdryer and several toiletries (lotion, body wash, conditioner) but no shampoo. Getting hot water in the shower was hit and miss.
Outside the bathroom there was a small counter area with a coffee maker, kettle, and mini fridge. Coffee and fixings were provided along with decaffeinated tea but no regular tea. Two bottles of water were provided each day.
The bed and bedding were comfortable but the sheets were only changed once in 7 days. There’s a card to put on the bed if a change of sheets is desired. The first time we used the card the sheets were changed but the second time the card was ignored. Other than that housekeeping was okay but not excellent. The balcony was spacious and had a table with two chairs and of course an amazing view.
The included breakfast buffet was adequate, not outstanding. There was an omelette station which was very popular. The hotel was quite full when we were there and the service at breakfast was poor to non existent. Several days we had to clear a table ourselves, hunt down cutlery, and no one ever came to offer coffee or tea. It seemed the staff were working hard, there just weren’t enough of them to keep up with the number of guests.
Despite how busy the hotel was, we never felt like the pool or the beach were too crowded, and we were always able to find lounge chairs. We never had a problem getting beach towels from the towel hut.
We only ate dinner at the hotel one night and found the food to be mediocre. There are several good casual dining options within walking distance along the beach in both directions. There is a boutique store at the resort and a grocery store across the road. If taking US money (which is widely accepted), make sure there are no tiny tears or writing on the bills as they will not be accepted.
Overall, we were happy with our stay at the Radisson Grenada.

Royalton Grenada Resort and Spa: 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.

Royalton Grenada Resort and Spa: 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.

Royalton Grenada Resort and Spa: 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: 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.

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.

Sandals Grenada is a really great resort!. It is smaller, so you can stay anywhere on the site. 15 minutes max walk from one end to the other. 8 fantastic restaurants. Bucks steakhouse is fantastic, but be sure to set your reservations there as soon as you get there. Kimonos Japanese is a lively fun, food experience. The staff are very very friendly and helpful.

Everything in our room worked and the room itself was very spacious, and high quality and as per the pictures.
We did not have the butler service and we didn't need it. We were able to get decent seats by the pool or the beach every day as long as we were down there before 9 am.
The only knock is the size of the beach- it is beautiful and private (which is good), but not long enough for those who like to go on long walks on the beach. It is however, private, so there is lots of space for everyone. i would estimate it is 1/2 mile long max.
The resort is also a very short 10 minute drive from the airport. The runway can be seen from the one end of the resort but we never heard planes in our room, which backed onto it. We did hear a couple landing but only while we were on the beach.

Coyaba Beach Resort: I would go back
Just returned from one week at this resort. Unfortunately Air Canada only flies weekly, limiting us to one week or two. Since it was the first visit, we opted for the one week.
I would say 95% of existing reviews are pretty accurate so I will try to add some new stuff.
First, kinda shocked when I saw the sign for the hotel . Used to the 3 km driveway of Mexican/Dominican resorts. Coyaba is right off a very busy road. Fine but unexpected.
Was brought a nice beverage and escorted to our [... read more]room. As soon as we started to go the stairs, I said to the man, um, no, we bought and requested ground floor. I had a print-out of the confirmation to Air Canada of our request. Well guess what, don’t count on that. The front desk showed me what they got from AC which was nothing. They were very kind and obliging and changed out room to ground floor. We had room 108. Front desk were lovely and did their best to be accommodating throughout our stay.
Resort layout, thought I would touch on this cause couldn’t find anywhere before we booked. The blocks are laid out like a big horseshoe. Facing the beach, block one is at the front along with an admin office or two. We were in first block on left (block 2) and the room numbers go sequentially throughout the resort. Continuing on the left are blocks 3 and 4. Starting back at the top again on the right side are blocks 5 through 8. Our room was noisy from the washing machines and housekeeping organizing their stuff. They use grocery carts which are noisy. Also loud from Umbrella bar next door. I would guess that the right side of the resort is quieter and a little more private. All rooms are really close the restaurants and beach.
Room - Our room was ok, bland white walls, could use some sprucing up but still fine. Washroom had nice walk-in rain head shower. Water was good and hot. Toiletries were very nice I thought. Plenty of towels etc. Never had to ask for anything more except an umbrella! Bring an umbrella! It poured our first 3 days and resort didn’t have umbrellas in many rooms. I ended up buying one in town. Also, spoiled me missed her robe. If you like a robe, bring one. AC was good. Plugs are EC, bring adapter if from N.A. Bed was good, pillows awful. Housekeeping very good.
Pool (raised which is odd) was right across from our room. In one week, only saw 2 people in it. Didn’t look the greatest. Bar and restaurant right there too. That restaurant did a great lunch – had to order it but it was very good. For breakfast and dinner, we went to the “fancier” restaurant closer to the beach. Note that both restaurants are open air/no ac. The breakfast is buffet with an egg station and was fine. Toast, omelet or eggs done any way, bacon and sausage. Watermelon. Not fantastic but certainly ok in our opinion.
Dinner, ok, this isn’t so good. I have a feeling (but could be wrong) that most of dinner selection are brought in pre-made. Chicken cordon blu had that processed chicken look with mystery stuff in the middle. Can’t say I had a great dinner although most were edible. Even the desserts weren’t great. That being said, I would go back! But if you go for the food, this isn’t the place.
Beach – best we have been to except maybe the Cook Islands. No sargassum, no rocks, just absolutely gorgeous. Perfect temperature.
Clients – 98% Brits and Canadians. No kids (even tho they are allowed). Met the nicest people here. For that reason and the beach, we will be back.
