This is not an all-inclusive hotel destination. This is an island of small boutique-style accommodations that provide a personal accent to your stay in Grenada. It’s good to have an alternative to the mega, 1,000 room all-inclusive resorts that insulate the traveller from the place he has travelled to.
My two favourites were Mount Cinnamon (http://www.mountcinnamongrenadahotel.com ), a chic resort that whispers ‘barefoot luxury’. Its restaurant is superb and the view toward St. George’s over Grand Anse Beach is incomparable.
And True Blue Bay Resort (http://www.truebluebay.com ) is a colourful, funky collection of villas and pastel-painted rooms scattered on a slope overlooking True Blue Bay that lives up to its name: the turquoise coloured waters of the Caribbean lap at the dock built out in to the bay – even though the name really is derived from the former indigo plantation that was situated here. Friendly folk, two contrasting pools and a view over the Caribbean from every room. And there’s something very pleasant about broadcasting the radio shows back to a freezing Canada from the sun bathed dock beside the warm Caribbean…
