Grenada Hotels

Grenada Hotel Reviews

Lodging options range from simply furnished, inexpensive apartments to elegant suites or villas just steps from the sea. Hotels tend to be small and intimate, with friendly management and attentive staff. All guest rooms are equipped with air-conditioning, an in-room TV, and telephone unless indicated otherwise. During the off-season (April 15 to December 15), prices may be discounted up to 40%.

Villa Communities

As is the case throughout the eastern Caribbean, villa communities are sprouting up like crocuses in spring—everywhere and in profusion. Grenada is one of the last islands to join the party, but properties are opening here quickly. Mount Cinnamon on Grand Anse Beach opened in April 2007. Bacolet Bay Resort & Spa is an extensive villa development under way in St. David's, on the (so far) remote southern coast of Grenada, and Port Louis is a brand-new marina village on the drawing boards—a $500 million project that, when complete in the next few years, will transform the lagoon and St. George's Harbour areas in the capital city. All these developments are investment properties, in which individually owned villas will be made available to nonowner guests through management companies.

Private Villas

Villas and private homes are available for rent for a week or longer. The minimum staff includes a maid and a laundress, but a cook, housekeeper, gardener, and others can be arranged.

In Grenada, many rental properties are in and around L'Anse aux Épines, a beautiful residential peninsula that juts into the sea. In-season rates range from about $1,600 a week for a two-bedroom home with a pool to $8,000 a week for a six-bedroom home on the beach. In Carriacou, in-season rates range from $65 per day for a small cottage or in-town apartment suitable for two people to $185 per day for a villa that accommodates up to six people in the countryside, with panoramic views and a swimming pool.
