Hotels and Resorts in Grenada | grenada-guide.info

Although all-inclusive resorts offer complete vacation packages, many travelers prefer to explore other parts of Grenada during their stay. Hotels, ranging from small guesthouses and inns to luxurious resorts, are concentrated in two areas in Grenada and Carriacou.

With many accommodation options available, travelers should consider the type and style of the vacation they wish to have. Luxurious resorts, even if they are not considered all-inclusive, can offer travelers a number of amenities and benefits such as restaurants, tennis courts, pools, and laundry services. Smaller inns and guesthouses can afford a greater level of privacy, while still offering benefits such as kitchenettes, pools, and bars. Travelers who wish for a quieter vacation experience away from large tourist crowds may opt to stay at one of these small inns or guesthouses in Grenada, Carriacou, and even remote Petite Martinique.

The most popular tourist area in Grenada is the southwest region of the island, which includes the captivating capital of St. George's and the pristine beach areas of Grand Anse. Accordingly, most hotels and guesthouses on Grenada are located in this region, and many overlook the area's famous white-sand beaches. Properties are available with more than 200 rooms and as few as 12. Other locations on the island, including La Sagesse Bay, offer more privacy and quiet.

The majority of accommodations in Carriacou are located around Hillsborough, and these hotels and guesthouses offer guests privacy and romance in small establishments that typically have fewer than 25 rooms. Many have less than 10. These accommodations still offer amenities such as dining rooms, bars, kitchenettes, and pools. There are also a small number of guesthouses on Petite Martinique, though travelers should be aware that there is very little on this island in the way of traditional tourist entertainment. For seclusion on a small tropical island, however, guests are unlikely to be disappointed.

Prices for hotels and guesthouses in Grenada can range from inexpensive and affordable to very expensive. During high season, room rates at guesthouses on all of the islands can start as low as $22(USD) to $30(USD). Rates typically tend to fluctuate between $40(USD) and $100(USD), however. Lodging in some of the island's more upscale hotels and resorts can cost travelers significantly more money. Rates can start as low as $70(USD) but typically cost between $180(USD) and $425(USD). Rates for the most expensive hotel suites and cottages can soar above $800(USD). Hotels charge an 8 percent government tax and occasionally a 10 percent service charge on top of the rate.

Travelers should check with their hotel or guesthouse prior to traveling to find out which amenities are available. If it's important to you, make sure your hotel has air conditioning, fans, kitchenettes, and safes. Travelers should also keep in mind that electricity in Grenada is 220 volts at 50 cycles, which is different from the United States. Many hotels offer dual voltage shave units, but travelers should learn what types of transformers or adapters may be necessary at their specific hotel.

Although there are a number of accommodation options for travelers to consider as they plan a trip to Grenada, it is hard to go wrong when beautiful beaches, scuba diving, waterfalls, and other attractions are never far away.
