Sandals LaSource Grenada

We wanted to give a shout out to Francelynn in the spa for the BEST massage I have ever had at a Sandals resort.

Our vacation at Sandals Grenada was from February 28 to March 7, 2026. It was our 7th overall Sandals vacation and fifth Sandals Grenada. For reference, we’ve stayed at Royal Barbados in 2019 and Sandals Royal Caribbean in August of 2025. We liked both Barbados and Jamaica, very much - but Sandals Grenada feels like home. We stayed in the M1P. The resort sits in a valley, adjacent to the airport. While there we definitely noticed more air traffic than in past years but the noise level was not an issue. The grounds are pristine and lush with tropical foliage. The beach is volcanic so it's coarse and not bright white but more of an orange and black sand (yet it's called Pink Gin). We think it's perfection. I will divide this review into the positives, negatives, and one or two head scratching moments. The latter two will be a very small list. We stayed in the MIP is and has always been immaculate. It has a private pool and hot tub. Some rooms even have a bit of an ocean view. The bathroom is large and having a separate sleeping space from the living space is wonderful. It may be time for some new furniture but certainly does not take away from the room itself. The food was excellent. I understand that there are some new chefs on the property and the brand of Sandals is trying to make all of their menus a little more Sandals 2.0. Having said that, some of our favorites were deleted from the updated menus. Service in the restaurants was excellent. Each staff member greeted us warmly and came back several times to make sure that we were happy. Entertainment - There is a team of dedicated and lovely people working as part of the entertainment staff. We enjoyed the shows very much. I will comment more on this later. Overall staff: This is where the feeling of “coming home” comes into play. The Grenada staff is in a category all their own. Grenadian people are warm and friendly. First, there were some recent promotions that we feel were a long time coming: Clevlon at water sports was promoted to Dive Instructor. Varnell, former bartender from Soy, was promoted to bar manager. Some notable staff from this trip that made our stay so magical were Emilio from Soy, Stephenson (who has now replaced Varnell as best bartender on property - hands down) and Krishna from the Turtle, who runs a close second. Bassey and John from Loyalty who brighten our days with a drop-by even when we have already booked our next trip. Troy from the aqua center took us SNUBA diving and took the most amazing go pro footage of us. Truly a great time with a great guy. Because he is so special, he deserves his own paragraph, Randell the butler. We request him and have had him each and every time we have visited Sandals Grenada. He is warm and funny and truly wants to make all of his guests happy. Today is our first day home and we miss him so much already. The rest of our butler team in addition to Randell was Don and Dawniesha. Both impressive, extremely efficient and hard working. They are equally lovely to be around and they made it so we didn’t need to do a thing! The negatives: The resort schedules do not always line up with what really happens at the resort. We found ourselves showing up for activities that didn’t happen or were more than a half hour to 45 minutes late. My example is that we arrived on Saturday, February 28th. The schedule on the app and in the Living Room both say that at 7 p.m. there is a steel pan musician. We understood “Island time” so we waited until 7:30 and no one ever came. At 8 p.m. another show started. Further, Pool Trivia (run by the funniest team of talented entertainers), which is on the app and scheduled by the party pool, starts most days at 11:30 am. We got there at 11:30 on the days it was scheduled and it was really closer to noon or later. One day it was scheduled for 11 am. At 11:15 the yoga people were in the pool and the DJ arrived to set up. That day, it ended up beginning at noon. It's just a small thing but we ended up missing out at times having booked spa treatments around that activity. The nit picky stuff: The buffet at Spices is our go-to morning breakfast. There is an array of beautiful berries. The utensils they have out are larger tongs. We would arrive around 8 am for breakfast and the berries were pretty much mauled by the time we got there. It seems silly in the grand scheme of things but swapping tongs for a slotted spoon is an easy fix. While at the pool, we left our books and personal items on our chairs. A giant gust of wind and torrential rain came down. It's not always easy to tell when it will actually rain because darker clouds fly over the resort all day long. They don’t last long but this one brought with it a lot of rain. We ran and grabbed our stuff and ran up to our room. Once we got there, I noticed that I didn’t have my bookmark. It was a note from our daughter that I had laminated and attached a tassel on. I had used it for 16 years. Our daughter is now 24. We ran back to the pool and couldn’t find it anywhere. We asked around. Our butlers even checked with water sports because it could have been left in towels, etc. Fast forward to the next day, I ask one of the water sports guys if he happened to see the bookmark and he responds “Did it say Mommy, I love you?” and as my voice cracks, I say “yes”. He then says, “I found it and I threw it out.” He then held up his finger, spoke to a landscape worker, and left for about 20 minutes When he returned, he then told me it was already in the trash compactor. To be honest, it was my own fault for not placing it back in my bag or some place safe. However, we were the 2nd closest set of chairs to the lobby. It didn’t seem unreasonable that he could have made the 40 or 50 extra steps and dropped it at the lost and found. To anyone wanting a vacation at a beautiful resort with great food and lovely staff, we highly recommend Sandals Grenada.

Everything was excellent except the butlers reserving the loungers by 5am Surely everyone, regardless of what you have paid, deserves to have some sort of choice. No butler despite paying a lot, in sandals eyes you are the lowest of the low and the scum of the earth when trying to get a sun lounger.

We enjoyed Sandals Grenada so much in 2025 that we returned for another visit in 2026. Not only is the resort beautiful but all Sandals employees we encountered were wonderful. Some exceptional staff we’d like to mention include: Rachael, our housekeeper Danya and Kamee in Entertainment Laurel in Management Vanester at Le Jardinier Vincent at Soy and Spice Staff at Cafe de Paris Akim, Hernel and Zoey, our butlers All staff we encountered seemed genuinely interested in making sure we had the best experience possible. We recommend becoming a Sandals Select member to access additional benefits. We chose the butler elite level as they were invaluable in providing us with morning coffee delivery/afternoon snacks in our room, a daily activities update, dinner reservations, saved poolside loungers, a cooler filled with specific refreshments as per our request, drawing an evening bath and more proving for a worry-free experience!!

Despite a 20 inch snow storm plus 2 day delay arriving to Grenada was paradise. We stayed in the Pink Gin area room 1216. Because of date changes we were told we would have to change our room last night of stay. This resort was lively and entertaining every day. The “living room” at night was the place to be! Shout out to wonderful staff: Javon, Lauren, Sharon in club sandals, Shaquanna at front desk and manager Salisha. Five stars to this team. Our room change turned out to a a Rondoval suite for 1 night. THANK YOU to the team that made the decision to upgrade our final night. AMAZING! I can’t wait to return to Grenada.
