Royalton Grenada is an all-inclusive resort at Tamarind Bay on the island's southwest coast, set on two white-sand beaches and about ten minutes by car from the airport. It has 269 rooms and suites, and every room has a balcony or terrace. The resort is designed to keep guests on site, with several restaurants, including an Italian trattoria, a French restaurant, an Indian restaurant and an international buffet, as well as a gelato and coffee lounge. There are multiple bars, including a beach bar, a lobby bar and a swim-up bar, and three pools, one of them a splash pad for children. A spa, a fitness center with classes, a kids club for children aged roughly four to twelve and an evening entertainment program round out the offer. Restaurants may operate on a rotating basis and hours can change, so check the current schedule.
Location and getting around
Tamarind Bay is on the quieter southwest of Grenada, and the airport transfer takes about ten minutes. Grand Anse Beach and St. George's are further along the coast, so you will use a taxi or tour for sightseeing, and most guests spend the bulk of their time on property. Tours to the underwater sculptures, Concord Falls, Grand Etang and the chocolate and rum stops can usually collect from the hotel.
The rooms and the feel
The resort is large and lively, with a social atmosphere and a full program of activities. Non-motorized water sports such as kayaking, paddleboarding, Hobie Cat sailing and snorkeling are on offer, as well as an introductory scuba lesson, beach volleyball, beach soccer, table tennis and a tennis court. Cooking and dance classes add variety. It suits families who want a kids club and a splash pad, couples who want everything included and groups who like a bit of buzz.
Good to know
The resort is all-inclusive, which means meals, snacks and many drinks are covered, but spa treatments and some premium services carry a local charge, and policies on tipping and reservations at specialty restaurants vary, so check when you book. Complimentary WiFi and a 24-hour concierge are part of the offer, along with 24-hour room service, though the details can change.
Check-in is usually mid-afternoon and check-out around midday. Because the resort is so big, ask for a room near the beach or the pools if you prefer to avoid long walks, and confirm age and family policies, including which activities suit younger children, before you reserve.
Who it suits
Families and couples who prefer to pay once and relax, and who like a busy resort with plenty to do. If you prefer a small, quiet hotel, one of the boutique properties on Grand Anse may suit better.
