Sandal Grenada Resort & Spa Review
Rating: 5/5
Sandals Grenada has been a longtime favorite for reasons. Located just a few minutes from the airport on Pink Jin Beach, this is a place that appears to be unobstructed. The lush landscaping and plenty of swimming pools provide an undeniable friendly atmosphere. this
The resort is dotted in two unique sky pool suites with private infinity pools on a balcony overlooking the ocean, and stunning tropical grounds dotted with plunge pools, fire pits and hammocks.
It's not the most expensive option, but it's certainly close. My Nankai 1 bedroom Butler Villa with an Infinity Edge pool was an absolute show stopper. It was equipped with a fully stored bar (included in the price, of course), a stunning soaking tub carved in hard stone, and a private terrace with a Jacuzzi and a private infinity pool overlooking the lush Grenadian hills and local homes nearby.
Food and drinking
There are 10 restaurants consisting of comprehensive rates. From the pan-Asian flavours of kimonos to the elegant steakhouse butch chop house.
My favourite was the soybeans, a modest sushi bar offering unlimited sushi and small Japanese plates.
For a truly Grenadian experience, I recommend trying out the Nutmeg Gelato from Café des Paris. This is the only resort that stocks this distinctive flavour all year round and highly recommend trying it out during your stay.
Lovers Lane Bar cocktails add a fun twist to the evening, especially when paired with live music and karaoke nights.

Grenada's vibrant culture is woven into every field trip. A private snorkeling tour to the island's coral reefs surrounds the group with local wildlife and small jellyfish while local wildlife and small jellyfish paddle in the open sea.
Fort Frederick has some of the most impressive views on the island, and is a good starting point for learning about the island's complicated history and the power struggle between the English and France.
Built by the French in 1779, completed by the British in 1783, it is located 800 feet above sea level and offers panoramic views of St. George and the surrounding mountains.
Sandals Saint Vincent and The Grenadines Review
Rating: 5/5
If Grenada is a family-friendly luxury, Sandals St. Vincent is a cutting-edge tranquility for honeymooners. Between rainforest-covered cliffs and the choppy Caribbean sea, this brand new resort offers superpersonalized services in an environment that feels like a private island retreat.
Sandal St. Vincent is proud to be chosen again and again as a wedding destination, so the imposing waterway chapel is located in front and center and is incorporated into the resort's daily operations.
When coming to the room, the most luxurious options are the overwater villas, boasting glass floors, a tranquil bathtub, and ladders descending straight into shallow aquamarine waters.
For the ultimate dul, you can choose the Vincy Overwater two-storey villa, offering full butler service and designer dwelling space and feel with movie sunset views.
But if what you're looking for is privacy, the Garden Butler Suite with a patio tranquility tub is perfect for those who want to soak or relax in the sun in the outdoor soaking tub behind the Hedgerows.
Food and drinking
Here, diet is an art form. For Caribbean talent, Jerk Shack offers a refined take on local fast food staples with a selection of spiced butter and fully grilled jerk chicken.
Blue Mountains Cafe is a must-see for coffee lovers and pastry enthusiasts as it stocks local and international sweets and top quality local coffee. In fact, the name implies mountains where beans are grown, harvested and roasted specifically for the resort.
For evening fun, there is a water rum bar boasting a hand-picked selection of Caribbean spirit and rum cocktails, and the three jeweled rum bars centered around offer late-night entertainment, music and board games until 2am.
In total, this vast establishment has nine bars that will add to the atmosphere with a swim-up bar in the main pool with live music and DJs.

Visiting Bekia is considered one of the most attractive Grenadines, making it unnegotiable for many vacationers. Ferry rides can be challenging for people with seasickness, but fortunately, the journey only takes about an hour.
For those who are not about to venture outside the resort, there is a Sunset Boat Cruise run by the Butler Team. This includes a visit to the Pirates of the Caribbean Set, a free-flowing rum, and for lucky guests, a race with a playful pod of dolphins.
Also, inside the resort, the Red Lane Spa is a hidden gem for relaxing away from the crowds. There is an outdoor treatment room surrounded by tropical flowers that feel like a true return to nature. The 90 minute massage booked here wasn't totally surprising, but it was still revitalized.
