Spice Island Beach Resort sits right on the sand of Grand Anse Beach and is the island's best-known luxury address. The hotel lists 64 rooms, mostly suites, with room types that include Seagrape Beach Suites, Oleander suites and pool suites with private plunge pools. It is a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World. The resort's own site names two restaurants, Oliver for upscale dining and the Sea and Surf Terrace and Bar for casual meals, plus in-suite dining, and the hotel adds a poolside bar and 24-hour room service. The Janissa Spa offers treatments such as hot stone massage and reflexology, and the site lists a relaxation lounge and cedar sauna as complimentary. There is an outdoor pool with free cabanas, a gym, an outdoor tennis court, free bicycle rentals and a beachfront pavilion for classes.
Location and getting around: the resort is on the waterfront at Grand Anse Bay, about 13 minutes by car from Maurice Bishop International Airport. The beach itself is the main draw, and from here you can walk to the shops and restaurants along the road behind the sand. Taxis and tour operators can collect you for the underwater sculptures, Fort George or the interior. Airport transfers are available for a surcharge.
The rooms and the feel: with only 64 rooms and a suite-focused layout, the resort feels intimate rather than busy. The hotel lists premium bedding with Frette sheets, minibars and large televisions, and the pool suites suit couples who want privacy. All-inclusive rate plans are offered on some bookings and cover meals, snacks and drinks. The resort's inclusions also list complimentary green fees at Grenada Golf and Country Club, which is close by.
Good to know: this is a high-end stay, so rates reflect the beachfront position and the service. Water sports such as sailing, kayaking, snorkeling and diving are available from the resort, although some carry extra fees. Reviewers praise the staff and the food, while a few note that facilities such as the pool are modest. Ask about tennis court availability if that matters to you, and confirm what your rate includes before you arrive. Pets are not allowed.
