Spice Island Beach Resort

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.

Excellent trip came for my 51st bday really enjoyed the fitness classes and daily activities with Jeremy and Roniesha their energy was awesome. Those fitness instructors were attentive and full of joy. This made workout during vacation feel like a birthday party for real!!

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.

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.

This well laid out hotel with accommodation on either side of public eating and entry areas. Everything basically faces towards the magnificent Grand Anse Beach giving views over the water to St George's. There can be few better gardens in the entire Caribbean than those that spread across the accommodation. The meet and greet was first class. We were in rooms 51 and 23, both having plunge pools in their private gardens. Room 23 was larger, with a private fully stocked bar, a very comfortable fully king sized bed, spotlessly presented and upkept by the team. The bar team was brilliant, fronted by Dexter with the likes of the ever happy Jeron and Kevin. Seriously good guys. The breakfast was a joy with beautiful fresh fruit, yoghurt, cereals etc and if you wanted, a good variety of hot dishes. Lunch and dinner were quite different with perhaps lunch providing more local dishes. Do try the Goat Roti if available. The serving teams were in the main most helpful and even smiled at their guest's poor jokes! Whilst the food from the kitchen could take time, the upside was it felt freshly cooked. If not enjoyed, it was sent back, and senior staff would come out afterwards asking what went wrong and how could they rectify. The concierge headed by Elizabeth, went way beyond being just helpful, she basically enabled our holiday. She organised everything off site, including a historic walking tour to St George's, a food tour across the island which included stopping for fresh coconut, snow cones, together with lunch and snacks etc. There is a barbecue but with the best will in the world the food is much better at the hotel. We tried several restaurants, and our preferences were 'Sails' overlooking the water, 'Dexter's' (the ex-Calabash chef's home) and Calabash itself, a totally different experience to Spice Island. If I have left anything out, forgive me. This is a most delightful hotel well worthy of five stars, giving the most relaxing times under a constant 25 to 30 degrees of heat. will we be visiting again? Yes.
