My wife and I stayed at Bluebay on our way home from visiting family in Carriacou. I ran in Bluebay via a travel expo in Barbados and it instanly appeal to me but I didn't expect such a stay.
From the very first welcome by LIsette to the time we left we experienced the wonderful hospitality of this special place.We felt spoilt, nothing was too much trouble, the staff and other team members gave the personal treatment that is missing in so many holiday trips.
The hike must not be missed, be prepared for the terrain that is typical Grenada, and wear good walking gear for a rainy day.
Great fun crossing the rivers to the waterfall.
The Fish Fry is low-key compared to other developed islands, but at least its an opportunity to mingle and enjoy some island flavors. We've heard the lobster is not to be missed.
If you're looking for peace and quiet without the fanfare you will find it at Bluebay .
Without a doubt we found it and will return soon

I stayed at the Bluebay in mid June of 2008 and LOVED IT! This place is 5 star on all counts!
Lisette and her staff were amazing- willing do do whatever they could to make you feel welcome, comfortable, entertained and safe. The meals and drinks were wonderful, my huge room was extremely comfortable and EVERYBODY went out of their way to make my stay extra enjoyable. If I wanted to hang out with the other guests, trips were arranged. If I wanted to explore on my own, at the end of the day I was warmly welcomed back with a smile, a cold drink and a friendly " how was your day?". Never intrusive, always welcoming. Local flavor, excellent accomadations, the best hostess ever.. I could go on and on.
You MUST stay here!

During May of 2008 I stayed at three different hotels while on an extended trip to Grenada. Bluebay Lodge, Lisette and staff, offered my wife and I the most lovely stay we have had among many good visits on several different islands. The lodge is clean and well run. Lisette is a most remarkable proprietor and hostess, very well connected in the Gouyave area, and with a great sense of how to connect visitors with people and place. The food was absolutely superb, coming fresh from farms, fishermen, and vendors in the area. The chef at Bluebay offered us what was by far the the best food we ate on Grenada, which is rightly known for its cuisine as the "spice island." Gouyave Friday was a lovely event featuring seafood booths, drumming, and general Friday night street spectacle. Gouyave itself is a charming small town with a French architectural feel similar--in much smaller scale--to New Orleans, which was founded at about the same time. A guided hike and swim at Concord Falls and a nearby plantation visit were both great experiences, organized and/or led by Lisette. I can not say enough about the value, quality, and spiritedness of our stay at Bluebay Lodge except to say that we aim to return as often as possible. This is the best place from which to explore and see Grenada. It is a very special labor of love for those who keep it running and is now without doubt my favorite place to stay in the eastern Caribbean.

The previously posted reviews really say it all, so I will try not to re-hash much here, but Bluebay Lodge is simply excellent.

If you are looking for an all-inclusive "Sandals" type resort where you sit on the beach, drink chi-chis and meet only the "locals" who work at the hotel: this is not the place for you! But since you are considering a trip to Grenada in the first place, you're probably looking for an experience with a little more adventure and authenticity than packaged sunshine can offer. If that sounds like your bowl of nutmeg porridge, then Bluebay might be juussssttttt right for you Goldilocks.

It is still possible and quite easy to get involved in the lives of the local people and have a delicious and authentic slice of Grenadian life; however you may need to make some contacts, find your comfort zone and hit your stride first. This is where Bluebay and Lisette et al come in. All the other nice things that past reviewers have said about the lodge, the staff, the food, etc. are true and accurate but the standout feature of Bluebay is that you WILL meet locals, you WILL have unexpected and brilliant experiences and you WILL feel like part of the family - if You WILL it to be so.

You may not know it yet, but you have the opportunity to experience the many facets of life on the island outside of the touristy areas of Grand-Anse and La Sagesse and Jimmy, Lisette and the rest of the staff at Bluebay will make it their personal quest to see that you get the most out of your time in Grenada. They will suggest fun things to do, cool places to go, show you how to get around the island, (tip: take the buses whenever possible, they're way more fun and cheaper than renting a car) give you names and numbers of people to meet and often they will accompany you on excursions. They are fantastic people and the top reason to start your trip at Bluebay.

We stayed at another guest house on Grenada and one on Carriacou and they were simply not in the same league. Having said that, our experiences at the next two places were still awesome and greatly enhanced because we'd got the hang of things by staying at Bluebay first. If we'd done things in a different order, I believe our trip to Grenada would have been much more forgettable.

Read the reviews, check the facts, choose Grenada, then book your stay at Bluebay. Or don't and leave more for me ;) !!!
