Pros & Cons
Royal Decameron Mompiche Beach Resort, Spa & Convention Center
Pros
Complimentary boat to Portete Island is a genuinely standout feature — calm white-sand beach with bar service at no extra cost
Five pools with distinct purposes mean you can usually find a quiet spot even at high occupancy
Pacific surf beach and rainforest backdrop make this visually distinct from any Caribbean all-inclusive
Convention center capacity keeps pricing competitive for individual travelers versus luxury-only properties
Cons
All-inclusive drinks package is noticeably lighter than at Caribbean Decameron properties — spirits restricted after 6pm, pre-mixed cocktails common
115km from Esmeraldas airport on roads that include unpaved sections; budget at least 2 hours and pre-book transfers
All pools close around 7pm — evening swimmers will be frustrated
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 Royal Decameron Mompiche Beach Resort, Spa & Convention Center is the larger property, while Sandals Grenada Resort & Spa has more dining venues, while Royal Decameron Mompiche Beach Resort, Spa & Convention Center offers more activities.
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.
