Sandals Grenada Review — The Caribbean's Hidden Gem Rated

An Unrivalled Location on Pink Gin Beach

Sandals Grenada boasts one of the most convenient and beautiful locations in the entire Caribbean. Situated a mere five-minute transfer from Maurice Bishop International Airport (GND), your vacation begins almost the moment you step off the plane. The resort is nestled on the pristine shores of Pink Gin Beach, a secluded and protected cove with calm, turquoise waters and soft, pale sands. Unlike the more sprawling beaches on the island, Pink Gin offers an intimate, exclusive feel, perfect for romantic strolls and relaxed sunbathing. The resort's clever layout ensures that despite its proximity to the airport, the ambience remains tranquil and utterly blissful, with the sound of gentle waves being the predominant soundtrack to your stay.

Innovative Accommodations: SkyPool Suites and Beyond

Where Sandals Grenada truly redefines luxury is in its accommodations. The resort eschews traditional hotel blocks for three distinct 'villages': the Pink Gin Village, the South Seas Village, and the Italian Village, each offering a unique atmosphere and room style. The crowning jewels are undoubtedly the SkyPool Butler Suites. These magnificent suites, located in the Italian Village, feature private, solar-heated, infinity-edge plunge pools directly accessible from the bedroom balcony, offering breathtaking ocean views. It's an unparalleled experience of private luxury. Other notable options include the South Seas Honeymoon Butler Villa with its private pool sanctuary and the Rondoval Butler Suites. Even entry-level rooms in the Pink Gin Village feel opulent, with many offering soaking tubs for two on the balcony or patio. All rooms feature high-end furnishings, spa-like bathrooms, and the signature Sandals tranquillity.

The resort's Island Routes tour desk makes booking an excursion effortless. A must-do is a visit to the capital, St. George's, considered one of the most picturesque harbour towns in the Caribbean. Wander its charming streets, explore historic Fort George, and browse the colourful market. You can also take a tour of a local spice plantation to learn about the nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves that give the island its nickname, or hike through the rainforest to discover stunning waterfalls like Concord Falls.
