Pointe Marin beach is genuinely beautiful and consistently clear — one of the better beaches in the southern Caribbean Club Med portfolio.
The water sports program is a real differentiator: waterskiing from the arc pontoon, wakeboarding, and windsurfing all with instruction, all included.
Padel setup is the best on Martinique — if racket sports matter to you, note this specifically.
Recent renovations have improved room quality and the main bar, though this is ongoing rather than complete.
The G.O. team's enthusiasm for Creole culture runs through the food, the evening entertainment, and the activities.
Cons
No dedicated kids' club currently — families with children under 12 who expect supervised childcare programming should wait for the November 2026 Zen Oasis expansion or choose another resort.
Some rooms (despite renovation) still feel dated in places; room quality is uneven depending on building and floor.
Local visitors can access parts of the resort on some days, which occasionally affects restaurant crowding.
Cocktail quality at the main bar is hit-or-miss; some guests report underwhelming preparation.
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
Summary
Sandals Grenada Resort & Spa has a higher guest rating, while Sandals Grenada Resort & Spa has more restaurants, while Club Med Les Boucaniers is the larger property, while Sandals Grenada Resort & Spa has more dining venues, while Sandals Grenada Resort & Spa offers more activities.
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.
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.
