Pros & Cons

Paraiso de la Bonita, a Luxury Collection Resort, Riviera Maya, Adult All-Inclusive

Pros

No buffets anywhere—every meal à la carte and made to order across all venues. A meaningful differentiator from the mega-resort all-inclusive model.
Open-air saltwater thalassotherapy pool is one of the few such facilities in the entire Caribbean.
Complimentary golf green fees at Grand Coral Riviera Maya are included in the base all-inclusive rate.
100 suites means the property is actually quiet—staff ratios stay high and reservations at restaurants are rarely difficult to secure.

Cons

Activity and entertainment programming is minimal—guests who want organized daily activities, a kids' club, or resort nightlife are at the wrong property.
The 2025 renovation is new; early-stay guest feedback on the finished product is limited. Verify current reviews before booking.
Diamond Club access gates Qin Qin and Ka'an behind an upgrade—the base tier loses some dining variety.

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.

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, while Sandals Grenada Resort & Spa offers more activities.
