Sandals LaSource Grenada

My fiancé and I stayed at Sandals Grenada from August 22–26, and we had an incredible experience from start to finish. This was both our first Sandals experience and our first time visiting Grenada, and it very easily converted us into a Sandals couple! We are already looking forward to experiencing Sandals in St. Lucia and Curaçao and, without a doubt, returning to Grenada in the future. We have previously stayed at several Excellence resorts, including Excellence El Carmen and Excellence Oyster Bay in Jamaica, and while we have enjoyed many aspects of those trips, we both felt that Sandals Grenada provided a superior overall experience. I truly cannot say enough positive things about this resort. Between the staff, food, atmosphere, entertainment, and the incredibly special memories we made here, this was easily one of the most memorable vacations we have ever taken. The Most Special Engagement Experience This trip will always hold an especially important place in our hearts because my fiancé surprised me with a beach dinner proposal during our stay. Diron, our amazing photographer, captured some of the most beautiful photos we have ever taken together (so many that he made it difficult for us to narrow down which ones to purchase!). He was funny, friendly, and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. He guided us through poses that captured our relationship in such a natural and genuine way rather than making the photos feel overly staged. We also had an incredible saxophonist play for an hour during our dinner, which made the evening feel even more romantic and special. We especially want to recognize Salisha, the wedding coordinator, who was incredibly kind and took such wonderful care of us while helping organize the engagement. The attention to detail continued even after dinner. We received our photos promptly afterward in the photo room, and when we returned to our room, we discovered that the staff had prepared another surprise for us. There was a congratulations sign on our door, rose petals scattered throughout the room, electric candles arranged on our bed, and a chilled bottle of champagne waiting for us in an ice bucket. What touched us even more was how many staff members congratulated us afterward. Some were employees we had barely spoken to previously, yet they knew about our engagement, and several staff members even remembered and greeted us by name. The amount of care Sandals Grenada put into such an important milestone in our lives meant so much to us. An Incredible Experience With Celiac Disease I also want to dedicate a large portion of this review to the resort's handling of dietary restrictions because this was one of the biggest factors in choosing our vacation destination. I have Celiac Disease, and anyone who lives with a serious food allergy or dietary restriction understands how stressful traveling and dining somewhere unfamiliar can be. My fiancé and I did extensive research before booking because even one significant gluten exposure could have left me sick and confined to our room for a large portion of our vacation. Akada was absolutely wonderful and helped arrange our dinner reservations while also coordinating my meal pre-orders approximately 24 hours in advance. Before arriving, I expected that my options would probably be somewhat limited. Instead, I was blown away when I asked which dishes could safely be made gluten-free and learned that nearly everything could either be modified for me or that the chef could prepare something special. The culinary team was extremely knowledgeable about gluten and cross-contamination, and I genuinely felt safe eating throughout the entire resort. Even when my dietary restriction was already noted with my order, servers consistently confirmed my allergy with me before the meal. When my food arrived, they would specifically identify it as gluten-free as well. That extra level of communication gave me tremendous peace of mind. Everyone seemed to be on the same page, and I never felt as though I had to repeatedly explain Celiac Disease or convince someone that cross-contamination mattered. Most importantly: I did not get sick once during our stay! That alone allowed me to relax and enjoy my vacation in a way that can sometimes be difficult when traveling with Celiac Disease. Gluten-Free Food That Was Actually Amazing Even better, my food was genuinely delicious. Anyone who regularly eats gluten-free knows that gluten-free versions of foods can sometimes be disappointing. Bread can be dry or crumbly, textures can be noticeably different, and certain dishes can simply feel like inferior substitutes for their gluten-containing versions. That was absolutely not my experience here. There were multiple occasions when I actually asked my fiancé to taste my food because I couldn't believe it was really gluten-free! Our home meals and snacks are essentially 100% gluten-free because he is incredibly supportive of my dietary needs, although he still eats gluten at work and when dining out. Because of that, he can usually notice subtle differences in texture or flavor between gluten-free and traditional foods. At Sandals Grenada, there were times when he actually thought my gluten-free meal tasted better than his! The gluten-free pancakes at Le Jardinier were incredible, and we enjoyed the menu so much that we ended up eating breakfast there every morning. The cheesecake served during our special beach dinner was probably my favorite dessert of the trip. At Butch's Chophouse, the desserts on the menu could not easily be modified for me, so the chef prepared a special gluten-free sponge cake instead. That gesture was incredibly thoughtful and is a perfect example of how accommodating the culinary team was throughout our stay. I normally avoid buffets entirely because of the cross-contamination risk, but during one of the dinner buffets on the beach, a chef personally came out and walked me through every station. He explained exactly which foods were safe for me and which ones I should avoid, and surprisingly, there were only about three to five things at the entire buffet that I couldn't eat. Pizza can also be very hit-or-miss when you're gluten-free, but Dino's Pizzeria made us an amazing gluten-free Caraibica pizza. For anyone with Celiac Disease or other dietary restrictions who is considering Sandals Grenada, my personal experience with their culinary team was exceptional. The Staff Truly Make This Resort Beyond the engagement and dining experience, the staff were some of the friendliest we have encountered while traveling. Of course, we understand that work is work, and spending hours every day at any job isn't necessarily always enjoyable. But what stood out to us was that so many of the employees at Sandals Grenada seemed genuinely happy to be there. They joked and laughed with one another, interacted naturally with guests, and created such a fun and welcoming atmosphere. At some resorts we have visited, you can sense that employees are under noticeable pressure to perform perfectly or risk being reprimanded. We never got that feeling here. The staff seemed relaxed and comfortable while still remaining extremely professional, attentive, and on top of everything. There always seemed to be someone nearby whenever we needed something, and service was impressively quick. We never experienced those moments where you're left wondering whether someone forgot your order or request. Even small gestures stood out. When it rained, staff members immediately began walking around the property handing umbrellas to guests. Many employees also remembered little details or developed running "inside jokes" with us throughout the trip, which made our interactions feel much more personal. Those moments really demonstrated how much the staff value building connections with guests rather than simply providing transactional service. A Smaller Resort With a Great Social Atmosphere One of the things we loved most about Sandals Grenada being a relatively smaller resort is that it creates a strong sense of community, both between staff and guests and among the guests themselves. We had so much fun casually talking with other couples in the pool, participating in trivia, hanging out in The Living Room during shows and dance parties, and even just chatting with people while walking around the resort. We actually had a more secluded semi-private pool in front of our room, but we barely used it because we enjoyed the energy of the main pool so much. The nighttime entertainment was also fantastic. The entertainment team has some incredibly talented singers and dancers, and they did such a good job of engaging the audience and creating a fun atmosphere rather than simply performing at everyone. During the day, we mostly wanted to relax because we only had three full days at the resort. We spent our time lounging on the beach, playing pool, having drinks at the swim-up bar, playing pool volleyball, and singing along to the DJ. There were plenty of other activities available, but we never felt pressured to constantly be doing something. It was very easy to make the vacation as relaxing or as active as you wanted. The Cats! This may not matter to everyone, but I absolutely LOVED the adorable cats roaming and lounging peacefully around the property. They were calm, friendly, and clearly well cared for by the employees. We became especially attached to one orange cat whom we affectionately nicknamed Percy. Percy will now forever be part of our engagement story because he/she happened to be nearby during our proposal and then continued randomly appearing near us throughout the trip, including sitting by my feet during several outdoor meals. It became one of those funny little details from a vacation that we know we'll always remember. Resort, Beach & Location The property itself was beautiful, clean, and extremely well maintained. We also loved Grenada's weather. It was warm and tropical without feeling unbearably hot or humid to the point where we constantly wanted to escape indoors into the air conditioning. The beach was calm and clear. It is smaller than beaches at some other Caribbean resorts we have visited, but that was not an issue for us whatsoever. Another huge convenience is how close Sandals Grenada is to the airport. The transfer was barely five minutes, which is especially nice after spending hours traveling. Both check-in and check-out were quick and seamless as well. We Can't Wait to Return Overall, Sandals Grenada exceeded our expectations in virtually every way. We came expecting a relaxing four-night Caribbean vacation and left engaged, completely spoiled by the incredible staff, amazed by the level of care given to my dietary needs, and already discussing which Sandals resort we want to visit next. More importantly, Sandals Grenada now holds an incredibly special place in our story as a couple. Thank you to everyone who made our first Sandals experience, and our engagement, something we will remember for the rest of our lives. We absolutely cannot wait to come back.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ AN EXTRAORDINARY STAY AT SANDALS GRENADA! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sandals Grenada was truly paradise, but what made our stay absolutely unforgettable were our incredible butlers, Hemel, Venessa, Dave, and Zoe. ❤️🌴 From the moment we arrived, they went above and beyond in every possible way. Their kindness, professionalism, and attention to every little detail were second to none. They anticipated our every need, were always one step ahead, and made sure absolutely nothing was left undone. The resort is breathtaking, but it’s exceptional people like Hemel, Venessa, Dave, and Zoe who turn a beautiful vacation into an extraordinary experience. They made us feel incredibly special and cared for every single day. Thank you for making our stay one we will never forget. You are truly the BEST of the best! 🌺🥂🌴❤️ Five stars simply aren’t enough! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Assistant Manager, Michael, made my birthday celebration trip start off wonderfully. He was incredibly helpful during check-in and went out of his way to assist us with our request for an upgrade to an ocean-view room. His warm, attentive service really made us feel welcomed and appreciated. We have to be honest that on our last few stays at Sandals, we noticed that it wasn’t always consistent with the level of customer service. However, in our short time here at Sandals Grenada, the service has been outstanding—everyone is attentive and pleasant, and service at the restaurants has been excellent. The resort is gorgeous and well laid out, the beach is pristine, and the water is calm and clear. We’re truly enjoying our stay, and the ocean view has made our birthday celebration even more special. Sandals Grenada is definitely our new go-to destination. Having been to several 5- and 6-Star resorts, including several other Sandals, we have never experienced Customer Service as good as the this resort. From the time of arrival with the welcome greeting song from the staff, every employee on this resort has been wonderful. It has been such an awesome experience that we decided to extend our vacation. Ms. Salisha, Guest Service Manager, and Michael, front desk assistant manager, went above and beyond to help us plan our stay for a few more days. If Sandals executive leadership reads these posts, the organization could benefit from having senior members of Sandals leadership from other resorts do a rotation at this facility because this is truly the exemplary example of how customers should be treated. All staff have far exceeding expectations , from the bell staff, to the front desk, to housekeeping, to food service, and more importantly the leadership team. I’m adding a few photos of the facility show how gorgeous, pristine, relaxing and peaceful it is. Thank you to the Sandals Grenada team for your excellent hospitality and for helping make our birthday trip special.

We had an awesome time at Sandals Grenada. The grounds and the room were beautiful. The resort was quiet and welcoming, and offered so many things to do. The service was amazing and all of the staff members are polite and welcoming. We had a great Butler team with Akim, Marlon, and Teddy. They really made the trip special. We were also taken care of by Lerona, Kavita, and Jarvis. Rocquel and Rashina also made some of our meals even better with their hospitality. The resort is very close to the airport which is convenient. Its beachfront location also offers amazing views of the rest of the island. A wonderful place with so many caring staff members.

Sandals Grenada is a wonderful place to visit. We were there celebrating our friends birthday and had a great time. The butler team of Denis, Antonio, and Samuel were the best! They were attentive and very gracious to our group. I’d highly recommend anyone going to select Denis, Antonio, and Samuel as your butler team.
