Calabash Hotel is a luxury boutique property in the Lance aux Epines area of southern Grenada, a few minutes from Grand Anse Beach and Prickly Bay. It is a member of Relais and Chateaux and carries a five-star rating. The hotel lists three on-site restaurants with a free full breakfast, a beach bar and a poolside bar, and reviewers praise the allergy-friendly cooking. Every room has air conditioning, premium bedding, a laptop-friendly workspace and a deck or patio, and some have separate sitting areas. The Spa at Calabash offers body treatments, manicures and pedicures. There is an outdoor pool, a 24-hour gym, an outdoor tennis court, a beach club and equipment for kayaking and sailing.
Location and getting around: Calabash is about 1.6 miles from Grand Anse Beach, in a quiet residential area of the south coast. You will want taxis or a hire car for sightseeing, though the beach club and the hotel's own grounds give you plenty to do. Airport transfers are available for a surcharge and must be arranged 24 hours before arrival.
The rooms and the feel: the atmosphere is calm and refined rather than lively, with a focus on service and food. The hotel mentions rum tastings and day trips to Carriacou as extras the hotel can arrange. It is a good fit for couples and adults who value quiet, and for travelers who like staying somewhere with a real sense of place.
Good to know: the family policy needs checking before you reserve, because the hotel states that children aged 11 and younger are not allowed while another line mentions only a minimum check-in age of 18. Confirm with the hotel. Cribs and rollaway beds are not available, and pets are not allowed. Check-in begins at 3pm and check-out is before noon. Because it sits away from the main beach strip, it suits people who are happy to be driven for dinners and day trips. Rates are at the upper end, reflecting the boutique service.
