Sandals LaSource Grenada

My husband and I visited Sandals Grenada from the U.S. in January to escape the cold, and it was absolutely perfect. The resort is stunning, the staff is warm and attentive, and the food and drinks were top-notch. From relaxing by the pools to enjoying the beautiful beach, it was the ideal romantic getaway. Special thanks to Stephan with beach/Snuba, Jeniffer G. in guest services, and Kenisha in housekeeping who serviced 2209.

had a butler bungalow, everything was perfect, food drink all top shelf. Irish Pub a must. Can't say enough about our butlers.

*long review ahead- but hopefully helpful for first timers! We just got back from Sandals Grenada. It was our first time to Grenada and first Sandals experience. Overall, we had an amazing trip! Food/Drinks: The food was super good at the restaurants for dinner and the all the drinks we had were great too- try the hummingbird! There wasn’t a meal at dinner we didn’t like. We ended up going to Butch’s twice because we liked it so much the first time. The hibachi was a ton of food, so go hungry. Neptunes was our favorite lunch spot as the view was the best- right by the ocean. The chicken wrap is 10/10. We didn’t eat at the lunch buffet much, but it changes themes daily. Beach/pool: The highlight of the trip for us was snorkeling right off the beach (highly recommend bringing your own mask/fins). Tons of fish by the rocks and we saw an Octopus and Eel on our last day! We also brought our own floaties for the ocean. The resort has float mats for use in the pools. We enjoyed both the quiet pool and the more active pool with the swim up bar and loud music. One thing to note is it seemed they struggled to keep up with clean beach/pool towels. We noticed people often left their dirty towels on their chairs instead of putting them where the dirty towels go, so there was often a lot of dirty towels just sitting on chairs throughout the day. Also the butlers reserve the front row at the beach and pool super early, even though no one shows up until later in the afternoon, which we found annoying but we were still able to find good spots at both the beach and pool at any time of day Room: We stayed in the pink gin beachfront walkout club level room category. We loved being steps from the beach and having the tub on the deck. We did not think the bed was the comfiest. However, after a long day in the sun, it ended up not bothering us too much. One thing to note is the room was not soundproof, you can hear pretty much everything right outside your room- we used a fan sound app on our phone and that helped a lot. We did find a dead cockroach under one of the nightstands but didn’t see any in the room the rest of the trip Excursions: We went and snorkeled the underwater sculpture park through sandals. The boat ride was about 15 minutes there and 15 minutes back and then we snorkeled for about 30 minutes- we thought it was worth it (this was an extra cost of $50 per person). We also went on a snorkel trip through sandals (included not extra) and we saw a huge stingray. We also recommend doing the 3pm boat tour (included). You have to reserve a day in advance. We spent a day doing an island tour through tours of Grenada. We saw Annandale falls, grande etang forest, Clarke court rum distillery, chocolate factory, a brewery, and had lunch at a local restaurant, Andy’s, which was really good. We also drove through St. George’s downtown area. It was fun getting off the resort and seeing the island! Entertainment: We enjoyed the entertainment- we didn’t think it was as good as some other resorts we have been to, but it was still good. There was Karaoke, silent disco, and a Fire and Water show. Things winded down early (around 10/11ish), but the tipsy turtle pub stayed open late- until 2am Service: Overall, the service was good. However for the price, we thought the service would have been a tad better at the restaurants. We had amazing drink service on the beach and by the quiet pool- they frequently come around and ask if you need anything.

I went snubaing with Stevon from the boat, swimming over the reefs and breakwater, after a safety introduction in the South Seas pool. Stevon was very professional & positive, and explained everything fully, and made me very confident before we went in the ocean. I felt very assured and safe under Stevon's guidance and direction. The snuba back from our drop point was excellent, Stevon pointing out things of interest, but always ensured my health and safety was his first priority. I would have no hesitation in snubaing with Stevon again, and highly recommend anyone heading here to seek him out. Unfortunately, we have run out of time, but are planning to come back next year, and I will look Stevon out when we arrive, and book more snuba sessions, and sailing too.

It is a beautiful resort with two superb swimming areas. My wife and I had a great experience at the Japanese restaurant, where Chef Helmsley created a wonderful meal for us and our cousins. He was very personable and gave us a great experience with lots of fun.
