Complete 2026 renovation means the property is in genuinely new condition — no old-stock maintenance issues.
269 sq ft rooms are meaningfully larger than the 215 sq ft standard common at comparable properties.
PMI Airport is 7 minutes away by the A2 bus from the stop directly across the street.
Three pools including a quiet relax pool separate from the main activity area.
Pet-friendly policy for small dogs — rare in the all-inclusive segment.
Cons
Only two room categories with no sea-view option at any price point.
No spa or dedicated wellness facility beyond fitness classes and gym.
Terra buffet does not serve lunch — guests must use the Fresco poolside bar or go off-site at midday.
No specialty à la carte restaurant — dining variety requires leaving the property.
Post-2026 guest reviews are limited; the renovation track record is strong on paper but untested at scale.
Sandals Grenada Resort & Spa
Pros
Pink Gin Beach is genuinely calm and swimmable — sheltered cove geometry prevents the choppy surf that affects more exposed Caribbean beaches.
Ten restaurants for 257 rooms is a high ratio, resulting in shorter waits and more consistent kitchen quality than larger Sandals properties.
Five-minute airport transfer is among the shortest in the Sandals chain — no long bus rides after a redeye.
SkyPool suites with private infinity plunge pools are architecturally distinctive and not replicated at most other properties.
PADI scuba diving up to two dives/day is included — at $80–100 per dive externally, this adds real value for certified divers.
The property's smaller, quieter personality makes it work well for couples who want intimacy over high-energy activity.
Cons
The Sandals app reservation system is unreliable — restaurants show as fully booked while tables are available, and closures go unannounced.
"Partial ocean view" and even some "ocean view" rooms deliver disappointing sightlines — verify the specific building and floor before booking.
Summary
Sandals Grenada Resort & Spa has a higher guest rating, while Sandals Grenada Resort & Spa has more restaurants, while Sandals Grenada Resort & Spa is the larger property, while Sandals Grenada Resort & Spa has more dining venues.
Butler Elite categories represent a meaningful price jump; the value is clearest for guests who actually use 24-hour room service and prefer to delegate planning.
Beach lounger availability at the South Seas pool requires early claiming (pre-8:30 AM on busy weeks) — not ideal for late risers.
Older sections of the property show maintenance wear relative to the newer Italian village buildings.
