Grenada Grand Beach Resort

On 20 acres of lush ground, this hotel stands on a desirable stretch of white-sandy beachfront, across from the Grand Anse Shopping Centre. Guests are ushered between a pair of manicured formal gardens to their (often small) rooms, which are tiled and furnished with mahogany pieces.

Each has a balcony or patio and a well-kept bathroom equipped with a tub/shower combo. The beach-view rooms are the most desirable, naturally. You can dine indoors or out at the Waterfront Restaurant, which has passable international cuisine.
