This is the best beach I've been to in Grenada. Very quiet, water is beautiful, with amazing views. You can go in the ocean from anywhere on short an not worry about a reef.
The only time it gets busy is when the cruise ships are then those tourists will come to the beach for a couple of hours. But it's only a couple times a week.
Staff is very friendly, rooms are really nice.
There is a steep hill to climb if you want to walk over to Grand Anse Beach, it's only about a 15 minute walk.
We h[... read more]ave a couple dinners, which were nice and breakfast. Otherwise we tried different restaurants on the Island.
This is by far my favorite Island.

Sandals Grenada: Amazing and Perfectly Romantic
We had been to Sandals in Antigua when it first opened (first location off of the island of Jamaica) for our honeymoon and we decided to return after 27 years. I had researched which one to go to and this location and Grande St. Lucian seemed to have the best overall reviews. Our experience did not disappoint. What an oasis, yet enjoyable and fun place to vacation as a couple. We met wonderful people from England, the US and fellow Canadians. The food was top notch and the afternoon snack locati[... read more]ons were awesome. Used the gym everyday and it was excellent. We got the Rondaval upgrade for last 3 nights and it was worth every penny. It was so romantic and beautiful. The Butler service was exceptional with Ifori, Davey and Jamie taking care of our every need. Bravo !
The other exceptional people who made our stay was the bartenders at the main swim up pool. Kareem (K-Spice concoction), Razim and Terrell were absolute gems and ambassadors for the Sandals brand. We had many laughs in a short time.
The only two minor negatives is when we did not have the butler service, access to shaded/umbrella chairs is very limited and required the very early morning chair save and I wished the beach was longer and less ocean current but that was the nature of the location or site it was on. Overall, it was a dream week (31C everyday)

Sandals Grenada: Lovely resort
The Service was excellent especially with the Butlers. The jardiniere restaurant did not compare to the quality of the food at the Parisian in the Barbados. The buffet breakfast was not up to standards at the egg section As a cook was only using one fry pan and pot to do the eggs.

Sandals Grenada: A great resort on a beautiful Island!
The hotel was great and bonus points that it was a quick ride from the airport! The staff were super helpful and genuinely good people that were always checking on us to see if our stay was going well! The food and the restaurants are incredible! The Soy restaurant had some of the best Sushi we’ve ever had! The views of the island from the resort are breathtaking along with the sunsets and the hotel nightly entertainment was incredible! The resort is best suited to honeymoon type vacations or[... read more] older retiree vacations. The resort did feel a little overpriced for the experience! It is also a smaller resort than some of the others we’ve been to.

Coyaba Beach Resort: Amazing beach
Loved:
-beach is amazing, best beach I have ever seen
-grounds, very clean and beautiful
-room was comfortable, no complaints
-people were friendly (some were very friendly)
Did not like:
-should have entertainment every night not every other night (after dinner was boring when no entertainment and nothing to do)
-food was very bland (I think I ate a bottle of hot sauce to compensate)
-should have lots more local food like oil down, we requested it but told they couldn't do it
-drinks[... read more] were ok, why not provide drinks like grand marnier, why charge for what you call "premium drinks"
-we were told on our last day that we could have requested a take away lunch before departing resort, front desk never told us this
-would love to bring my daughters here but not sure because of food and entertainment

Coyaba Beach Resort: Charming Gem
This locally owned, charming 80 room Boutique resort is located on the best beach in Grenada. The resort is quiet, clean and everything on the grounds is within close proximity to each other. It was refreshing to see a mix of tourists (i.e Caribbean, European, Canadian, American, Asian, etc.) at this resort.
Staff were friendly, polite, respectful and very professional. Special mention to Reanna who stood out.
Service is good but gives a whole new meaning to island time. Which forces you[... read more] to completely slow down and reminds you that you need to shift into vacation gear yourself. We had a problem accessing our t.v and had to call the front desk. Someone was at our door 2 minutes after we hung up & took care of the matter immediately. There was never any pressure to tip the staff but good service ought to be rewarded.
Gardens / Grounds were clean and well maintained.
Food was okay, a little bland for our palate given that we were on Spice Island. You should note that there are 2 restaurants, 1 with an A La Carte Menu which is static and doesn't change throughout the week and a Buffet. The Buffet serves a variety of food throughout the week, some of which is reflective of local dishes. However, at night you have to dress up to experience the buffet area. You can order food from the buffet at the other restaurant without having to dress up and still having access to the A La Carte Menu. Some dishes are served with supplement charges if you are on the all inclusive package (i.e. steak, lobster & shrimp).
You can actually drink the tap water in Grenada which I think taste better than our local supply....sorry T.O.
Entertainment - Live entertainment was offered a few nights a week. In our opinion, a real missed opportunity here to showcase Island culture even though steel pan and local bands were used. We travelled to Grenada to partake in the sights & sounds of the island. Instead, we found ourselves listening to old half dead 80s / 90s music that had little reflection of the "spice" of the Caribbean. I personally would have loved to have heard more soca / reggae, had a taste of Oil Down (national dish) or something to do with the history of the Jab Jab. This is why we came.....
Beach is within 1 minute walking distance from the furthest point of the resort. Loungers were plentiful and always available as needed. The water was clear and warm. Vendors were minimal and kept it moving if you weren't interested.
Rooms were cozy, clean and hot water was always available. There is a fridge for your convenience but it is not stocked with anything. It would serve you well to take a converter box to charge your electronics or hygiene equipment.
Amenities such as grocery store, restaurants, banks, etc. were all within walking distance. However, be forewarned that souvenirs are expensive. Locally accepted currency preferred is US or East Caribbean (E.C). The KFC across the road was reasonably priced.
We went on a private island taxi tour with Ian Baptiste from Specky Tours Grenada https://speckytoursgrenada.com/ or 437-536-5932 who took us everywhere we asked within the 7 hours for which we hired him for. He was pleasant, upbeat, friendly, respectable and we felt very safe and in good company with him. Please check out his website for details on his services as arrangements for tours can be made through him or through the Air Canada Rep.
Air Canada Terminal Experience in Toronto - I have to be specific here as the two experiences were night and day. The Pearson terminal is chaotic and quite frankly disorganized, inefficient and has some of the rudest, most disrespectful, high on themselves staff that I've encountered at any airport in the world. I witnessed 3 of their immature, entitled, drunk with power children at the customs screening entrance / checkpoint on the morning of September 7, 2019 (yes Air Canada please checking your schedule to see who was working that morning that might fit that criteria). They were incredibly rude to foreign travellers who clearly did not speak English as their first language. Very unbecoming of Canadian ambassadors to and from our country. Upon return, we had to be shuttled by bus from the plane to the terminal and again complete chaos and disorganization as you entered customs. Perhaps hiring more staff with interpersonal skills would actually be helpful in that area would serve Air Canada well.
Air Canada Terminal Experience in Grenada - Cleared customs, picked up luggage and at our hotel within 35 minutes of landing in Grenada. Received service with a smile. Returning home, wait was a little longer but service with a smile again and everything clearly labelled and easy to find. I must say that the Air Canada Rep Jenelle in Grenada was fantastic and an exemplary example of Customer Service. Perhaps the Grenadians can come to Toronto to train the Canadian staff.
Overall, Grenada is a safe and beautiful island!!! Lush lands, clear water, fantastic people. It is noticeable how CLEAN Grenada is. The Grenadians clearly take great pride in their island and it shows.

Radisson Grenada Beach Resort: Amazing resort
We really liked this hotel. Beautifully kept ground and steps to Grand Anse Beach. The staff were also delightful and very accommodating. Exceptional service by Tracy Ann and Crisal
The only downfall was there weren't too many places to eat off the hotel- only a couple that were 10 mins away.

Royalton Grenada Resort and Spa: Amazing location
We had an extremely enjoyable stay at the Starfish Grenada Resort. The staff was on the whole helpful and efficient. The major advantages of this resort were the location to the airport, the stunning beach and the amazing, picture perfect sunsets. This resort will be even better once the renovations to the Royalton brand are completed. Thank you Rick for making this booking.

Royalton Grenada Resort and Spa: Great Staff, a little dated, NOT FOR FOODIES
A nice resort just minutes from the airport. The two beaches are beautiful however because of rocks only the northern beach is really suitable for swimming. Lots of shade and chairs so you are not fighting for them.
The food although good was not of a great variety. A lot of repeats so got boring pretty fast. We were surprised that there was not more of a variety of fruit offered being a sub tropical island. Overall we were please and had a good vacation. They are undergoing renovations soon so[... read more] things will be even better.

Royalton Grenada Resort and Spa: Beautiful country!
I really enjoyed Starfish/Rex resort! Great food - 2 restaurants to enjoy your regular meals( 1 oriental a-la-carte restaurant), clean room (bed, towels, floors - daily), friendly staff (with smile, politness, and fun), beautiful beach (turcoise water, trees for shade, chaise lounges available), nice pool area (canopy beds, bar and restaurant, excellent view, but only 4 feet deep the pool - as a little minus) and...amazing little country. I recommend anyone to take Jamboulay tour with Michael as[... read more] guide :-).Entertainment was good enough for a resort that is to close for renovation in a month. The DJ played any song you told him too, so I danced a lot ;-). Don't wait to book this!!!

Royalton Grenada Resort and Spa: Starfish, grenada
When we arrived in Grenada, we where taken into the terminal, at that time, given a declaration from to fill in.. 200 passengers looking for a place to sit, on the floor, to fill this in, should have been handed out on the plane to fill in, would have saved a lot of time.
Got to the hotel, had 3 lines to stand in by your last name, to check in. We finally got yo the counter, and where told our room would not be ready for an hour.. but have us time to grab a bite to eat.
Room, grounds were[... read more] clean.fantastic views.what amenities we used, where clean and in newer condition.
Food, another story . Did not have a "hot meal", all luke warm at best. Limited choices
Met sunwing rep, went through the programs/ excursions. Knew her stuff, but forgot to mention, everything was shown in $us and would be converted to Caribbean currency@a 2.75 exchange rate.
Was a shock when I paid, expected to be paying 146 us and card was charged 390.
Did not catch this immediately
, did later, took 2 days to track another rep down to have explained dhat they did.
We did the fusion tour, and our guide Glenn, was a wealth of knowledge and we had a blast with him on both trips we did.
We felt we were an inconvenience trying to tip the staff, they where pleasant enough, but where made to feel we where bothering them, trying to give them a tip... who knows.. maybe were not suppose to?
Saying that.. if you did not tip the bar staff... good luck trying to get another drink brought to you.
Over all, had fantastic weather, was with my spouse and we had a great time.
Will go back again, if nothing else to see what changes the royalton will implement and what they are going to construct... if the pricing doesn't go through the roof.

Royalton Grenada Resort and Spa: Below average
We were a little disappointed. We knew the hotel was closing soon but they we out of food at different meals. They asked if we were celebrating an event and then forgot 3 birthdays in our group of 12. My friends partner had spoken to then twice they assured him there would be cake, champagne and balloons. They eventually brought out 1 bottle of champagne for 12 people and 3 slices of banana bread. A party the night before got a lovely cake, balloons and champagne. The grounds were desolate and b[... read more]rown and the gardens were dead. They ran of of drink mixes and alcohol daily. We were short towels or face cloths or hand towels every day.
We were on a floor that a cricket team was on. 10-12 year old boys mostly unattended by there coaches. Up at 6 am running around, yelling from balcony to balcony before there breakfast. So we were unable to sleep in. They were back by 4pm when we would be trying to have an afternoon rest when they charged in . I asked reception if the 6 if us on that floor could be moved and she explained there were no vacancies unless we wanted to up grade. I realize we got a deal but did expect a little more than a 2 star hotel. I also had to call for bedside lamps in the room as the ceiling light was the only light in the room No lamps. The brought us 2 when I called. Over all the resort is in separate need of major make over. We made our own good time with our group of 12. Made the best of it.
Sunwing also ran out of food o the way there. :(

Royalton Grenada Resort and Spa: Most Relaxing Vacation!
My husband and I loved our stay at this resort in Grenada. It was the most relaxing atmosphere we've ever experienced. The grounds are LOVELY, with beautiful gardens, a pond, and two beaches with breath-taking views. We especially loved the pavilions in the pool area, and the on-site snorkelling. The staff were unfailingly friendly and helpful. The food was good, although we would have loved even more Grenadian cuisine options. Our room was comfortable and clean.

Royalton Grenada Resort and Spa: Fabulous location! Excellent service...
Just back from a wonderful stay at Starfish. We had a room overlooking the beach. You couldn't be closer to the ocean, the waves lapping soothingly all night. And yes we had our patio door open, no bugs at all. There is a constant warm breeze. The snorkling off the coral reef right in front of the hotel is wonderful.
There is a happy sense of calm. The staff are excellent, the food very good.
We were impressed by the relaxed but dignified islanders who were welcoming everywhere we went. Our g[... read more]uide on the island tour was very good at his job, super informed and efficient at getting us around the various sites, all very interesting.
The hotel is changing hands and upgrading, which it will definitely benefit from. However it will probably attract a different clientele, and cost a lot more.Hopefully they will keep the same staff, they couldn't do much better.
There were a few vendors on the beach, but they were not a nuisance at all.
Grenada is a gem if you are looking for a peaceful relaxing holiday. We felt completely safe all the time.
