Spice Island Beach Resort

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!

Our second visit to Spice Island Beach Resort was just as wonderful as our first visit in Feb 2024. Our Gardenview accommodations, the gourmet food and the service were all outstanding. All of the staff from the restaurant & bar service, housekeeping, reception and even the gardeners are all friendly and accommodating. Grand Anse Beach is great for walking and swimming.

Beautiful gardens, clean inside, great service.

We are widely travelled and this was one of the most expensive Caribbean hotels we have stayed in, and thus our expectations were high. Unfortunately, we were disappointed in several areas. Good points Beach front rooms are fabulous, very comfortable, leading straight onto the white sand beach and turquoise sea. Grand Anse beach is great to walk along (although very busy when large cruise boats visit). Most of the staff are very friendly (especially Katrina) and service is generally good. The hotel has a total no-smoking policy, even on your sunbed on the beach. I wish more hotels would introduce this. Smoking is so disgusting. Bad points On several evenings there was nothing we liked on the dinner menu in Olivers. The food was pretentious, overly complex, and often unhealthy, with few fresh vegetables. Several other guests also complained about the food and the poor quality of the all-inclusive wine compared with other hotels. The breakfast buffet had limited healthy choice: no muesli; no bananas (in the Caribbean!) or pineapple on several days. There were usually unacceptably long waits before a cooked breakfast arrived. In its advertising the hotel claims that “Every moment at Spice Island resort is a haven of relaxation”. However, the weekly game of Bingo (played over loud speakers) at the bar while we were having sunset drinks or the shouting during the Cocktail Blind Tasting competition in the restaurant during our lunch were far from relaxing. Such events should be held at times and in places where they do not disturb other guests. There was a shortage of sunbeds with good shade. Guests put towels out to reserve sunbeds before breakfast, but then did not use them for 4 hours. Not what one expects at a five-star hotel.

The property is beautiful and the food is fantastic. Everyone is so nice and gracious and treats you so well!

Great beach. Beach front rooms nice and spacious

Everything was excellent. Had a great time. Would recommend to everyone and come back again.

Wonderfully peaceful, gorgeous beach, attentive, individualized service. Will return

Everything was Fabulous

The hotel and staff were fantastic. You can really feel that this hotel is privatelybowned and all employees are bought into the ethos of the hotel. Everyone that we met was polite and provided an excellent level of service. The food was also excellent and the room and pool were of a veey high standard. The only missing thing I think are some snacks in the minibar. We will definately return to this hotel.
