Spice Island Beach Resort

Our travel agent recommended Spice Island, and it did not disappoint. We had one of the wonderful sea grape suites - in fact the very last one #47 - and it was amazing. You're just steps from the gorgeous beach with chairs ready just for you and a hammock to swing in at night, dotted with shade from the beautiful sea grape trees. So nice and private. The small resort feels like an enclave, an oasis all to itself, and we left wanting to come back. What really set it apart was the service. Understated, impeccable and personal, the staff made our stay exceptional. Darvina, the concierge, arranged for an awesome jeep tour to the rainforest and a visit to a local children's home, and when the home's director happened to be at the resort, Darvina called and asked if we would like to meet her - such a nice touch. Another staff member made cookies for us to take! The "All-inclusive" term worried us a bit when it came to food, but every meal was delicious! Plenty of breakfast items on the buffet (housemade granola, fruit, etc) and lots to order (excellent pancakes etc) and then really special food plus regular American fare at lunch and dinner. We had a hard time picking our favorite dishes - from coconut shrimp appetizer to fresh fish to brushetta trio to amazing desserts like frozen lime yogurt and crumble to nutmeg ice cream with cashew tart, we enjoyed it all! We will absolutely go back to Spice Island!

Luxury All-Inclusive is the way to go. The service here is wonderful from the moment you arrive to the moment you depart. I love that this is an ultra luxury property AND that it is All-Inclusive. The rooms are quite large and spacious; the beach is amazing, the pool is clean and in a nice location, only steps away from the bar and steps away from the beach. The spa is quite nice and the property is easy to move around. Def a great place to stay in Grenada if your budget allows.

As the title of my review says it all! - I've been to countless all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean and Spice Island Beach Resort is by far the best. It certainly has earned its 5 Star Conde Nast rating. Everything from the accommodations to the spa to the dining and impeccable customer care; I cannot say enough praises about this place! They go above and beyond to ensure you have an unforgettable vacation experience. Special shout out to Cleon and Elizabeth. Cleon served us at the bar but also served as entertainment on our sunset cruise. We asked for custom drinks, and he was happy to oblige. Elizabeth helped us plan a private tour of the Island including stops of our choosing. What made it extra special was the picnic lunch the resort provided for us to have lunch on our day tour. Wow! Spice Island says they feed you whether you're on their property or on an all day tour. Don't hesitate to book your stay. You will not be disappointed! M. Miller

We are quite well travelled including the Caribbean Islands. This was our first trip to Grenada and Kuoni recommended the SIR. This is a beautiful resort in an idyllic setting right on the beach - particularly if you opt for a Sea Grape suite. The staff are brilliant from Arrival to Departure - cannot be faulted as they are so friendly and helpful. The standard of accommodation and service is high and you are made to feel so welcome. We would parrot some of the other reviews in that the Dinner Menus whilst good are a little restricted as to choice and it may be a further restaurant area is required to compliment the Fine Dining. What however made this holiday so enjoyable was the staff and we think we should name a few who made our stay so special and so much fun. Cleon (Entertainment), Damian (Gardener), Dwight (Beach), Kevin (Bar), Kennish, Shanna, Martha, Tracey, Katrina, Kate-Donna - this is not an exclusive list but perhaps goes to show the level of service. We had a wonderful and relaxing time

Following the pack, it would be easy to give 5 out of 5, which seems to be the trend. There are wonderful aspects to this hotel - beautiful gardens, a gorgeous beach, wonderful pool area and gym/spa, many lovely staff, a very high standard of food quality, exceptional cleanliness, a nice welcome, a great all-inclusive deal, and a lovely relaxed attitude to checking out at a mutually agreeable time. There are also some pretty basic areas where Spice Island does not live up to its 5-star rating, when compared with other 5-star establishments, in my experience. In short they were the absence of visible leadership, the unfriendly attitude of some F&B staff towards guests, some excruciatingly long delays for food orders to be served, some issues of tiredness and poor maintenance in our suite, and a lack of information about hotel activities and facilities. I dithered between 3 and 4 for this hotel, and chose 4 in recognition of the great features and the good people, but there is room for improvement, and I would have been happy to share all of these comments, in detail, with the hotel management, if I had been asked, or if I had known who to engage.

This year we decided to stay at the Spice Island Resort in Grenada. It was our first time there and many people highly recommended the property. We have stayed many times at sandals, Royalton, Raddison and Silver Sands. So the obvious attraction was grand anse beach which is probably the best beach in the caribbean. That did not disappoint. The beach fron was clean at all times and there was no shortatge of beach chairs and beach umbrellas in immaculate condition. All staff were friendly and extremely helpful. We stayed in the seagrape villas literally on the beach. The room was very well appointed with all the usual amenities. Meals were above average. Breakfast was tops. Drinks were in abundance and the bar staff knew their stuff. Janissa Spa was amazing. Absolutely professional and worthwhile. So two questions. What fell short? short answer, nothing really. I think they can improve of the evening dining offering. I think they can bring the bar closer to the beach rooms . A beach bar would work. The property is beautiful and well maintained. The Website does not do it justice. The second question is would I return. Absolutely. Planning that already. Cheers to the staff and location!
