Sandals Grenada All Inclusive

If your ideal diving trip includes a proper resort rather than a small guesthouse, Sandals Grenada All Inclusive gives you plenty of room to spread out. The setting is Pink Gin Beach, with direct access to the sand and five outdoor pools, while the all-inclusive formula keeps the practical decisions pleasantly short after a day in the water.

Couples are the natural audience here. The accommodation is centred on double rooms, junior suites, suites and villas, with several choices built around an ocean view, beachfront position, balcony, walkout access or a private pool connection. Some evenings can be as simple as a swim, a meal and a drink by the water. Not every holiday needs a second excursion after dinner.

The resort is part of Sandals Resorts and has 257 rooms across six floors. English is spoken by the hotel team, and the website is also aimed at an English-speaking clientele. That matters when all you want is to arrange dinner, ask about an excursion or find out where the towels have gone.

You stay in Saint George, Grenada, on Pink Gin Beach. The resort sits directly on the beach, with white sand, calm turquoise water, sun loungers and parasols ready for the non-diving part of the day. Aquarium Beach is also nearby, giving you another coastal option when you fancy a change of scene.

Saint George city centre is 7 km away, so this is a beach resort rather than a base in town. The surrounding island is better suited to planned outings than spontaneous doorstep wandering: the resort can help arrange excursions, including the underwater sculpture park, Levera National Park, rainforest walks, river tubing and snorkelling cruises.

Grenada’s airport is a 15-minute drive away. That is short enough to make arrival and departure less of an expedition, particularly when your luggage contains more equipment than clothing.

The room choice is mainly about how close you want to be to the view, the beach or the water. The Pink Gin options include ocean-view rooms, beachfront rooms and a penthouse with an oceanfront position. Walkout categories suit you if stepping straight outside matters more than having a balcony above ground level; balcony rooms give you a private outdoor place to sit without leaving your accommodation.

For a couple wanting more space in the layout, the junior suites and suites move the choice towards a more separated, more indulgent stay. The Italian bi-level Butler Suites include a balcony, a swim-up option and a SkyPool option with an ocean view. The South Seas villas and the Grande Rondoval Sanctuary South Seas Butler Suite take the idea further, with villa-style accommodation and private bathrooms. Several junior suites and suites include toiletries, while the villas include air conditioning, a television and a hairdryer.

All listed double-room categories are arranged for two people and have a private bathroom. Room service is available, which is useful when the sensible plan is a quiet meal indoors rather than a full march across the resort. The practical details vary by category, so choose from the room card according to the feature that will actually improve your nights: beachfront access, a balcony, an ocean view, a pool connection or air conditioning.

The all-inclusive formula covers the resort’s main rhythm of breakfast, lunch and dinner. Breakfast is served as a buffet, giving you the useful freedom to eat lightly before a morning departure or build a more serious plate when the sea has other plans for the rest of the day.

The cooking combines island favourites with global flavours, prepared by local chefs. That gives the table a Grenadian accent without asking you to spend the whole stay searching for somewhere else to eat. One restaurant is listed, along with a bar serving both beach and pool settings, so a drink does not require changing out of beach mode.

There is also a café and a snack bar. The useful distinction is that continuous snacking and late-night dining are not part of the stated offer, so do not book this expecting an all-hours buffet to appear whenever you wander in hungry. Room service gives you another option when wet hair and formal dining are not getting along.

Five outdoor pools give you alternatives to the sea, including a pool with a bar and a fire pit in the middle. It is the sort of arrangement that lets you move from sun lounger to water to drink without turning the afternoon into a logistical exercise. On the beach, loungers and parasols are available directly on Pink Gin Beach.

The Red Lane Spa offers massages and facials, with treatments rooted in Caribbean tradition. There is also a fitness room, a sauna, a steam room and a hammam for the days when your legs would prefer recovery to another activity. A massage after several dives is a more convincing use of an afternoon than pretending to enjoy a competitive game of something.

When you do want to move, the resort has tennis, table tennis, billiards, hiking and water activities including kayaking, paddleboarding and sailing. Cultural excursions and island trips can take you to the underwater sculpture park, Levera National Park or the rainforest. Back at the resort, karaoke and a nightclub provide evening options for couples who have not yet decided that bed is the most exciting venue on the island.

Airport transfers are available through the hotel, making the short journey from Grenada’s airport straightforward to arrange. Parking is also available if you are using a car. The resort has a concierge, excursion assistance, a currency exchange service, shops and luggage storage, so the basic practical tasks can be handled without leaving the property.

Check-in starts at 15:00 and check-out is by 11:00. A security deposit is required. Laundry and dry-cleaning services are available, with some services subject to an additional charge, and Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel.

The electrical supply is 230 volts at 50 Hz, with Type G sockets. Visa, Mastercard and American Express are accepted. An on-site infirmary is available, and the property also has accessible facilities, a business centre and event spaces for occasions when the holiday includes something more organised than a dive briefing.
