True Blue Bay Resort is the lively, family-friendly waterfront base on the south coast, and it offers a lot for the price. It stands at 19 Old Mill Avenue on True Blue Bay, beside a marina and close to St. George’s University, in the area known as the island’s entertainment district. The resort has 70 rooms, suites and villas, from garden-view rooms to waterfront and tower suites with an ocean or bay view and a two-bedroom villa for families. Cocoa pod rooms and suites add a distinctive touch. Four outdoor pools, a children’s pool and a waterslide are open around the clock, with free cabanas and loungers, and the Dodgy Dock Restaurant serves Caribbean food with ocean views. A spa, a 24-hour gym, yoga and Pilates classes and water sports such as sailing, kayaking, snorkelling and scuba diving fill the days, and there is evening entertainment and a free daily manager’s reception. Rooms have air conditioning, premium bedding, bathrobes and free Wi-Fi.
Location and getting around
The resort is about eight minutes by car from Maurice Bishop International Airport, and an airport shuttle can be arranged for a fee per person. A free shuttle serves the local area. Morne Rouge Beach is about four minutes by car, Grand Anse Beach about nine, and the beach at St. George’s University about sixteen minutes on foot. The island’s capital, St. George’s, and its attractions are reached by taxi or bus. Free self parking is available for those who rent a car.
The rooms
There are six room types. The True Blue Room is about 300 square feet, tower and waterfront suites are about 700 square feet, and the villa has two bedrooms and sleeps five. Many rooms have a bay or ocean view. A free grocery shopping service helps families and self-caterers, and baby baths and charging points for electric cars are provided.
Who it suits
Families, groups of friends and sailors who like a social, active resort with plenty of pools and a marina. The waterslide and children’s pool make it a good family pick, and the marina draws yachting visitors. It is a poor fit for travellers who want a silent, secluded stay or a large sandy beach right outside the room, as the resort is on a bay and the best sand is a short drive away.
Good to know
A buffet breakfast and supervised childcare cost extra, and all-inclusive rates are offered on some plans, so compare what is covered when you book. Late check-out is available for a fee. Pets are allowed. The resort holds a sustainability certification. Prices are mid-range for Grenada, and the best rates tend to be outside the winter peak.
