Beautiful family-run resort for a peaceful, relaxing, all-inclusive holiday

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 Read less

Understated luxury

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. Read less

Gorgeous resort, with some critiques

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. Read less

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. Read less
