Spice Island Beach Resort

This resort came highly recommended by friends and ideal for what we wanted - all-inclusive beach resort for a "fly and flop" holiday. The location is excellent on the biggest beach in Grenada - all beaches are public but that was not really a problem as the beach is wide and the hotel facilities on the beach good and well managed. It can be a bit difficult to get into the sea when the waves are up as there is a ledge just into the sea. Beach and sea are clean. Access to St George's is easy if you wish to leave the resort and external noise only occasionally intrusive (a carnival one day and a very noisy "boose cruise" one Sunday). Atmosphere is a bit lacking - the occasional music evenings were very dated and not very "local" - let's have some reggae and calypso, please! The restaurants are very good (but pricy if you are not all-inclusive) - food in Olivers is very high class but could be a little more local-based in cuisine. The fresh fish in Catch of the Day was always excellent but breakfast was a bit bland. Staff were amazing - they called guests by name, were cheerful and friendly yet very professional. Nothing seemed to be too much to ask and they just got on with any request straight away. The staff around the pool and beach were particularly good at keeping up with the need for water and other drinks plus cold towels and iced-lollies, and also happy to chat about the island. The pool is small but clean and well-maintained with plenty of sun-loungers and towels at all times of day. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped with a good size bathroom (ours had a large spa tub and good size separate shower cubicle). The bed was very large and amazingly comfortable. Only a few criticisms: the house wines were fairly cheap and not especially good, although the staff keep you glass topped up very efficiently! The "Champagne" cocktails were, perhaps not surprisingly, made with cheap fizz and hence not really very pleasant. Stick with the house cocktails (and mocktails) which are good. Despite advertising changing rooms and showers for departing guests on the in-room information system, these were not available and the desk staff try to sell you a $350 extension to the room hire. This is really not acceptable as so many guest have late evening flights - every other good hotel/resort that I have stayed in offers a departure lounge with changing, showers etc. Hopefully, the management will address this lapse in standard of service. Overall, however, the resort is a very good place for a relaxing holiday with excellent accommodation, food and staff in a beautiful location. We plan to return, hopefully to find the minor criticism addressed by the management

We were fortunate to spend a week at this resort in a Sea Grape Suite. For reference, we have travelled extensively in the Caribbean with 20+ visits to mostly 5-star resorts. We knew immediately that this place was something special. We were greeted warmly by management as we stepped out of our transport and experienced a smooth check-in while being offered a cool drink and refreshing scented face cloth. Our room was perfect with a shaded patio area and 2 loungers just beyond so that we literally could step directly out on the beautiful beach. The bathroom had amazing light through a skylight - a welcome feature since resort bathrooms tend to be dark. The bed was a dream and honestly the most comfortable I've ever slept in and it provided wonderful restful nights. We thought the food was excellent and appreciated the vegetarian options offered for the evening meal. Service was absolutely flawless with someone always at hand to fulfill your every wish. I would characterize Spice Island as understated luxury quietly offering pampering at every turn. They've been doing this right for decades and don't need to change a thing! Like most guests, we are looking forward to a return visit.

A most gorgeous resort located on a beautiful beach, this is true. The resort facilities can't be faulted; everything looked modern, well maintained and very attractive. Walking into the resort, you truly do feel like you're somewhere special and luxurious. We stayed 5 nights, and whilst mostly enjoyable, there were a few aspects which were disappointing which I'll list below. 1) The house wines are of a very low quality. Most of the wines, both red and white, are from Chile and Argentina and just dreadful. 2) There is a serious lack of ambience in the evenings around the bar, and common areas. Maybe the cheap wine contributes to this. 3) We received conflicting information about dinner pricing, and one very rude staff member (manager, perhaps?), refused to show us the a la carte menu, even though we had been told it was available at the Sea & Surf restaurant. Eventually we were very reluctantly presented with the a la carte menu after what felt like an arm wrestling competition. Totally unprofessional and gave us a very bad vibe. 4) For those not on the all-inclusive plan, like us, the fixed menu pricing at Oliver's is an eye watering $140.00 USD per person, not inclusive of drinks. This was a bit much, given the smaller portions, and limited selections. 5) The beach, though extremely beautiful, gets a very steady flow of cruise ship passengers, dogs, and private citizens walking by, morning, afternoon and evening. This didn't lend itself to the relaxing resort ambience I was hoping for. Certainly no fault of the resort, but it bears mentioning. 6) The bathroom is very poorly designed. I didn't enjoy only having one sink for the two of us. Our suite had an enormous bathroom, with a long vanity, yet only one sink. There is also a large towel holder mounted directly in front of the one sink, so it juts out and you have to lean over it to use the sink itself which becomes very tedious. The toilet is also tightly placed at the end of the vanity, making it claustrophobic. All of this is a pity because it could be a very beautiful bathroom, but these are huge design fails and made it uncomfortable. 7) Charging for cheap bottled water that won't even open is really unacceptable at a 5 star resort! On a more positive note, the property is very gorgeous! Stunning, in fact. There is an abundance of places to sit and enjoy whether it be at the beach, pool, or many lovely sitting areas. Breakfasts were wonderful with extremely high quality pressed coffee. The majority of staff we encountered do maintain a nice level of hospitality and professionalism. The housekeeping and maintenance staff also deserve credit as it is a pristinely clean resort.

Fabulous hotel in a fabulous location, sitting in beautiful gardens on a peaceful part of Grand Anse beach. From the moment you arrive you are warmly welcomed and made to feel special. The management and staff are first rate, friendly and helpful and very proactive in offering superb service. The food was delicious and drinks offering excellent. My husband and I would thoroughly recommend this hotel.

Visited the property in 2018 and had a fantastic stay , I was excited to return. However things have noticeably changed . Positives Staff with the exception of the resort manager were very pleasant and generally the service was good . Food was good Spa , we had several great massages. Location , excellent beach . We had a seagrape beach suite . Housekeeping kept it clean . Negatives It was evident since my last visit cutbacks are in place Breakfast buffet was limited in choice and wasn’t available for self service, it was served by a member of staff and it felt restricted. Bar drinks menu listed champagne cocktails and we were told by staff that champagne was available by the glass . This is not the case , it was Prosecco . Champagne was only available to buy by the bottle , which we ended up doing at great expense. Tennis courts were unavailable for use , an explanation was not given . Bathroom amenities not replenished with regularity. Late check out was offered complimentary in 2018 . It now comes with a hefty 350 USD charge . It’s important to note that, the resort’s occupancy was approx 30 per cent. The staff told us this repeatedly. After a very unpleasant exchange with Sheldon the resort manager we negotiated this down to 250 USD charge. Frankly we found him to be rude and unprofessional . Our encounter with him was unnecessary and upsetting. Due to the above we will not be returning to the spice island resort.

My family and I have been returning to Spice Island Beach Resort ever since our very first visit. From the moment we arrived, we were completely smitten by the genuine warmth and welcoming culture that makes you feel like part of the family. From the groundskeepers to management—and especially the wonderful owner, Janelle Hopkin—the entire team consistently anticipates our every need with care and grace. I have never been able to relax anywhere the way I do at Spice, and my husband feels exactly the same. Our son absolutely adores the Nutmeg Pod, and we are incredibly grateful for the resort’s exceptional childcare, which allows us to truly unwind with total peace of mind. After five or six visits, we still can’t wait to return—especially with another trip planned for July. I truly can’t say enough wonderful things about Spice Island Beach Resort; it has become our home away from home. A special thank you to Fabian, Katrina, Lyndonna, Dexter, Dwight, and everyone else who makes our stays so memorable (you know who you are!). See you soon, Spice—thank you for the beautiful memories you continue to create.

I had an amazing 5-star experience! I would definitely recommend staying here if you’re planning a trip to Grenada. We were greeted with welcome cocktails at check-in, and Spice Island made sure our airport transportation was smooth and easy. The food was fantastic! Each meal was a multi-course affair, and we could easily customize it to our tastes and allergies. The afternoon tea selection and presentation could be improved, but it was still quite good. I’m still raving about the fresh pesto pasta! The garden tour was a great way to see the property and learn about the plants and ingredients used in the culinary cuisine. We did get sunburned after a long day at the beach, but the staff were so helpful. We asked them for fresh-cut aloe vera during dinner, which was waiting in our room after dinner. The mini bar in our room was fully stocked, and the cleaning and turn-down service was quick and efficient. The private Plunge pool was ideal for our stay. The spa treatments with massages were wonderful. The beach was calm, clean, and free from people trying to sell things, which we really appreciated. I wish I remember the gentleman’s name who was apart of the garden tour but also some of the guest exercise experiences. He was originally from Grenada. He was awesome, kind and made our stay great.

This was one of the most relaxing breaks we had in 2025. The positives: - Excellent beach (which was surprisingly quiet as it is public) - Spacious and well equipped room; we went for a room with a plunge pool - with hindsight, we should have gone for a room by the beach as the rooms with plunge pools are set back from the beach with no views (very private and very shaded)) - generous mini bar - lovely staff; almost everyone was super friendly, It makes a real difference - I enjoyed the hobi cat sailing (other than the day when the person supervising water sports was working somewhere else….) - Great spa treatments (though the spa itself needs a little TLC) Areas for improvement: - Lack of information on activities; on our penultimate day, a member of staff came up to us at the pool who organised activities, said he hadn’t seen us before (even though we had been at the hotel for 5 days) and suggested various activities - unfortunately it was too late to do most of them (we had kept ourselves active any way with a hire car) - many staff recognise you, others dont asking your name repeatedly in the same day (and the hotel was far from full) - evening bar snacks are very weak and are of a standard you would expect of a mid-range pub in the UK, far short of a 5 star hotel - The biggest, the food. Cooked breakfasts are good, but the buffet is very limited. The lunch menu we quite enjoyed but the dinner consistently underwhelmed; given the price, it should have been so much better. We decided to eat out for 2 nights The last time we visited Grenada we stayed at the Calabash and almost did again. We chose Spice Island Beach Resort because of the beach, which is much better, and our agent saying both had good rooms and excellent food. However, the food at the Calabash is in a totally different league, as is the service. I would return to the Calabash without hesitation (and it is better value). I would only return to Spice Island if the food is much improved; it’s a shame, it has so much potential.

The location was perfect, the staff went above and beyond especially when the meals were not up to standard and the breakfast serves was much to be desired. The hotel was clean and welcoming, we had the perfect room straight onto the beach. The hobi kat gave me the chance to see the ocean and the sea creatures. Able to walk to a local bar and small shopping centre.

We stayed for a week in this luxurious resort. We loved everything about it from arrival to departure. Every member of staff including the Guest Experience Manager were superb in their daily interactions with guests. Our room was on the beachfront which had a great view. The beach was clean and well maintained. Although the beach was accessible to the public it was not busy or crowded and there was a security guard employed by the hotel 24/7. There were 2 restaurants which provided a lovely selection of local and specialist dishes such as lion fish and barracuda. The Oliver restaurant provided fine dining. I was also able to request dishes with that combined ingredients from different menus. We met the talented chef. There were different activities on offer. We enjoyed the sunset cruise. Athough it was cloudy, the experience was fabulous due to Kevin’s attention to detail and superb service. He even wished us farewell on our departure. He is a credit to the company. I would like to thank Cleon, Guest Activities Assistant for his liveliness and manner in motivating guests. This included an organised walk to Quarantine Point - a local park with great views over the sea especially at sunset. We found the whole place very relaxing and would highly recommend this resort.
