3 Best Hotels in Grenada

The spacious, self-catering accommodations at the eco-conscious Le Phare Bleu (The Blue Lighthouse) are perfectly situated for those who arrive by boat or who like to be around boats. Units have one or two air-conditioned bedrooms, luxurious bathrooms (showers only), and a separate living room with a sofa bed; one wall of each living room opens fully to catch the breeze. One two-bedroom villa has a private pool. Kitchenettes have microwaves and full-size refrigerators. The Deck Restaurant serves meals daily, with live music on weekends, or guests can hang out at the bar aboard the historic lightship docked at the 60-slip, full-service marina.

Experienced travelers love this delightful oceanfront hotel at the northern tip of Grenada; it's surrounded by beautiful gardens on one side and an unobstructed view of the southern Grenadines on the other. Two rooms are in the main house; the others are in separate cottages scattered around the pool and gardens. All rooms are decorated with antique mahogany furniture and rich fabrics, and each has a deck or patio with a magnificent view of the sea. Produce for the restaurant is largely grown on the property or at the nearby plantation where the owners, Philip and Annie Clift, live. Philip was a cattle and hop farmer in England, as well as a successful restaurateur, prior to fulfilling his dream by building Petite Anse. Bring a few books, your bathing suit, good walking shoes to explore the nearby hills and dales, and prepare to relax in an idyllic environment.

On 20 lovely landscaped acres that stretch along 1,200 feet of Grand Anse Beach, the resort offers comfortable rooms and extensive amenities at a reasonable price. Groups often frequent this resort, which has Grenada's largest hotel conference center. Guest rooms all have attractive mahogany furniture, king or twin beds, and a large balcony or patio. Two suites have double-size whirlpool tubs. Beachfront rooms are in three two-story buildings about 10 feet from the beach. Those who prefer swimming in fresh water (especially kids) enjoy the 300-foot lagoon pool with its waterfalls and swim-up bar.
