we stayed at the pinnaple beach hotel for 12 days from the 18th april, the first suprise was we were upgraded from standard room to oceon view, the room was nice and the view was first class lovely blue sea,
the meals in the pinnapple grill were lovely the rib eye steak is a must it cannot be ignored.
marys shack has lovely ribs and chicken she is a lovely lady and when you greet her she embrasses you true antigan culture the ice cold beers in the fridges help the food go down.
the main restuarant is the topaz we felt the food there was not as good as the pinnaple grill but the staff made up for that as helpfull as you can get, a big thank you to jason and jaffa a holiday we will never forget.
the beach is right outside your door and the sands are pure white the water sports are outstanding what more can you say go there for the true carrabean culture.

The hotel is absolutely charming. The front desk greets you with a fresh cool drink (Rum added for adults, if preferred). Staff and people on the island are very friendly. There had been 4 weddings on premises during our stay. Explained by the beautiful location. The beach was excellent, very clean. Great for small kids and toddlers. Water was calm and crystal clear. You can see tiny fish right through. They do have a pool but it cannot be compared to the beach. There is not much to do on the island with small kids. But there were lots of water activities for older kids and adults. Decent shopping on the island. We felt very safe walking around the streets. The food in the hotel was good but average. No shorts for men for dinner. Make reservations for the place to have dinner at night in the hotel. Skip Italian night. You have go to Mary’s Outhouse for lunch. Great ribs, hot dogs and chicken. Even though, there’s pineapple farm on the island-pineapples are tasteless. Not much of fruit variety. Nightly entertainment were mostly local bands. One night there was the fire-eating guy, and one night was karaoke night. Oh, one more: they provide dinner on the beach at night- the most romantic thing ever...

Just returned from Grand Pineapple beach club.
I had great expectations of this hotel and was very let down.
The hotel itself needs to be totally re done. The staff need to be educated on how to serve the guest.
I am not sure to where I should begin. (to much to write)
I have traveled to a lot of places and this was the most expensive trip I have ever paid, and it truly was the worst!!
The food was terrible they had odd hours to eat. Same stuff all the time, and nothing that was good. Dessert consisted of maybe one cake and some canned fruit.
Save your money until they renovate!!!!!

As with many others, the large amount of negative reports we have read left us feeling a little apprehensive about the quality of the resort. However, the place is quite simply amazing.
It is probably worth thinking about the time of year to go - we went just after the Easter holidays, and as such it was not overly full. Whilst the service for everything was excellent, we couldn't help feeling that the place probably couldn't cope as well when it was packed in peak season.

That said, the place was perfect, set right on the beach amongst lush gardens. We opted for an ocean view room which was worth every penny, with a stunning view of the bay from the large balcony.
The room was excellent, and cleaned very nicely everyday.
Food was excellent, especially for fish lovers, the flavours were outstanding. What people fail to mention is that the variety is there through some buffet nights, where they go to a lot of trouble. Booking meals each day was not a hassle - after all, they are actually trying to help us, by making sure that they control the flow of people so there is not a large queue at popular times.
Drinks were good, and having bottled beer at the Outhouse was a nice touch.
Beach was superb - about the only thing that every reviewer really does agree on. Lovely white sand, and the water was very clear. There were more than enough sun loungers.

Some of the criticism from other reviewers is staggering - for example Mary's Outhouse is only a couple of minutes walk from the beach, just behind the Ocean View rooms. The view there is incredible. Plus, the Ocean View rooms are hardly set back in the hills, they are only up a few steps from the pool - the whole place was laid out fantastically, with everything very accessible.

The star rating is spot on - at the end of the day it is a great place. We would recommend this resort to anyone - a really brilliant holiday.
Ps Do the Catamaran trip around the Island!
