GRENADA - Island of Spice Specialist

Who plans all-inclusive Caribbean resort trips

As a certified Grenada Specialist, I recently experienced firsthand why this Caribbean gem is called the "Island of Spice." During my comprehensive exploration of Grenada, I discovered an island that offers far more than its famous nutmeg plantations—though watching the traditional spice harvesting at Gouyave Nutmeg Station was unforgettable.

My tour of Grand Etang National Park revealed Grenada's volcanic heart, where mona monkeys play in rain forest canopies and crater lakes mirror the sky. The island produces 20% of the world's nutmeg, and I learned to identify cinnamon, clove, and bay leaf trees during my estate tours.

At Belmont Estate, I participated in chocolate-making from bean to bar, understanding why Grenadian cocoa commands premium prices globally.The beaches exceeded expectations—Grand Anse's two-mile stretch of white sand is consistently ranked among the world's best, while the hidden La Sagesse offers tranquility.

I explored the underwater sculpture park at Molinere Bay, where art meets conservation in a snorkeling experience unlike anywhere else.Sandals Grenada stands as my absolute favorite all-inclusive property in the Caribbean.

This isn't hyperbole—it's the elevated luxury experience that sets it apart.

The resort's 10 restaurants include a Parisian café and steakhouse that rival standalone fine dining. Their Pink Gin Beach is exclusive to guests, and the South Seas Pool—Grenada's longest—creates an oceanfront infinity experience. The butler service in the premium suites anticipates needs before guests realize them. Having inspected countless properties, I can confidently say Sandals Grenada delivers exceptional service that justifies every dollar.St. George's, the capital, wraps around a horseshoe harbor that's arguably the Caribbean's prettiest.

The Saturday market bursts with local spices, crafts, and the island's famous "oil down" national dish. Fort George offers panoramic views and sobering history, including the site of Maurice Bishop's 1983 execution.For clients seeking authentic Caribbean culture with luxury amenities, Grenada delivers. The island maintains its genuine character—locals still offer directions with a smile, and rum shops serve as community centers.

Direct flights from major US cities make access easy, yet the island remains uncrowded. Whether you're interested in diving the Bianca C wreck, hiking to Seven Sisters waterfalls, or simply enjoying world-class hospitality at Sandals, I'll craft your perfect Grenadian escape.
