If you want to experience the real Grenada and stay in a charming friendly Hotel, then this is the place to stay. I have been all over this beautiful island and stayed in the best and most luxurious hotels, but this is by far my favorite. The service is the all over the island, so why pay more ? Everyone here is pleasant attentive and make you feel at home. Definitely take a yoga class (even if your not into it, its surreal. )
This hotel resort is located near St. George’s University medical school. It’s an easy walk to campus and container park filled with several student popular earteries. It is a short ride to and from the airport and Anse beach so location is super convenient. Management and staff are friendly and eager to help although island mishaps as occasional power outage, and loss of cable television can occur. The rooms are generously sized with clean bathrooms and small kitchenette that includes microwave, mini fridge, electric cooktop, coffee maker and hot water pot. This allowed us to occasionally cook and reheat meals that helped to avoid always paying for high priced restaurant food. Breakfast included with the room has basic fare. More fresh options and self service would have been nice. Watch out for aggressive birds; they will steal your meal. Enjoyed the occasional live music for dinner and although overpriced and confusing street food night had an array of vendors, good attendance and lively band. The Spa was relaxing and couples massage a nice treat. Many of the guests we met came to experience Aquanauts diving and each raved about the experience. Thanks for the accommodations, we will be returning soon.…
I came for five days of diving and another few days of R&R and wasn’t disappointed about my dives. The resort is well located, well kept with smart and generously appointed rooms with excellent facilities especially the good wifi . Staff are friendly and helpful . Everything is clean. Spa and yoga facilities available . Brilliant Aquanauts dive centre within the luscious grounds. Mit is therefore even more disappointing that the meals on offer both for breakfast. and especially in the restaurant are totally overpriced, unappetising and basically uneatable.. I tried twice with a chicken dish smothered in an unappetising sauce and a second time with a totally overpriced tuna fish dish that was dry and hard as rock. I had to leave half of it behind. The dish in no way justifies its price tag for a fish dish in a sea side resort. What a shame .…
So, since True Blue doesn’t feel the need to respond to my emails where I expressed my disappointment about our stay I decided to leave a review here now. We booked a day pass for two people for 100 US dollar each that includes: Hot Breakfast 2 Course Lunch Unlimited drinks and cocktails from poolside Rum Shop bar and Dodgy Dock bar Access to resort facilities Use of all four pools Yoga class Assisted use of non-motorized water sports Upon arrival you get a pretty cool welcome and they require for your credit card first thing. They put you a bracelet on so staff can recognize that you’re day pass guest and apparently only deserve a limited amount of service. Breakfast was of very poor quality, bacon was dried out and they put something on your plate that’s supposed to be a sausage. Texture was more sawdust than meat! Yogaclasses (that I booked along the reservation) were not available that day, the non-motorized water sport equipment such as a paddle board was broken and the hoby cat wasn’t available either because the assisted staff went home already. It was remarkable that they all tell you that after the payment was done and after it is too late. The loungebeds around the swimming pool came without cushions, so you had the lay down on the beds itself. A few things more happened, but I’ll leave it at that. We obviously complained at the reception, but nobody seemed to care. This day was a good test to find out what the service would be like for an event that I’m organizing so I’m very glad that they showed that they are even not capable to host an event like that. 200US dollars for a very poor breakfast, a simple lunch and a few drinks is quite something! Luckily there are better locations on the island!!…
My friend and I stayed here for our one week of diving in Grenada with Aquanauts. It is right next to the dive shop, which made it extremely convenient for us. The rooms were very comfortable. Staff was very friendly. Breakfasts were delicious. We had a few lunches which were fairly good, but no dinners onsite, since we chose to explore nearby places, such as Container Park, for more variety. I would stay here again, if it was geographically convenient for my schedule. Last, almost all their outlets in our room also had USB chargers. My only gripe about the room would be that the ventilation (exhaust) is very weak.
First visit to Grenada. We found True Blue Bay Resort an idyllic Caribbean bayside setting with beautiful landscaping. The resort has most services you'd expect and a very friendly and capable staff. Lots of credit due given the whole island was just beginning post-pandemic reboot (the tail end of Feb 2022). Have to consider COVID-19 in the back-drop: It was advertised that the staff were all vaccinated and masked - which we observed to be mostly the case. Guests were required to be masked on premisses, although this was mostly not in-forced so much outside of the restaurant and main desk areas. We felt safe (and tested negative at the end of stay which offers some further assurance). Rooms were nice, however, there are issues if you end up in the "Cocopods" cluster of rooms on the west side of the resort. Dogs barked and yapped all night at everything including each other. The source is a on-campus house next to the Cocopod room cluster. If you live in a noisy apartment or next to a kennel you may be used something like this - I was not and had mostly horrible night's sleep. Not what you want for a relaxing vacation. There is the smelly sewage system vent thing next to the Cocopod room area in the middle of the walkway to /rom the dive center and restaurant. Occasionally the smell would drift into the Cocopod common areas and pool area. Yuck! Definitely recommend avoiding Cocopod rooms!!! The restaurant, open most of the day, into the night, had good to very good offerings and good service (naturally, do expect some island time slack) for all meals. If you are a diver the Aquanauts dive center is located on premises - they did a great job with choppy and mostly low vis conditions at the time. Most of the fish and coral were in good condition relative to the generally declining health of most coral reefs in the Caribbean (and elsewhere). Aquanauts serviced both advanced and new divers very well. We felt safe and very well attended to. The only knock is the boat we were on "Salsa" is an older boat that tended to bob-around lots in the chop - leading to a greater degree of rocking and sea-sickness in my case. And like many dive boats of this vintage - no shortage smelly diesel fumes in the boat. They also approached and circled most dive sites for a divemaster to jump in to attach the mooring lines while divers sat baking in the hot sun fully suited in an ocean not so merry-go-round. Certainly not ideal but apparently necessary to avoid others mooring on the dive site in conflict with the dive operation. Taxis are somewhat expensive. They all charged $20 US for 5-10 minute trips of just a couple miles. Paid $60 US in taxis on departure day for off-site Antigen testing (24 hr US entry requirement at the time), and later for the airport drop off. Each off-site venture to a restaurant will be $40 round trip. This is pricey for a 5-10 minute ride (in my view). Grenada is a beautiful island with very friendly, very literate, hard working, forward looking people with a very rich history. Tour the island, visit the chocolate factory(s), spice market(s), talk with people and enjoy!…
The staff was great and very helpful. Stayed in Coco Pods…great access to the pool and the most modern of the groups. Restaurant was nice and food good. On site gift shop and dive shop was excellent. At entrance was a bakery with ice cream and chocolate. The multi grain bread is to die for!
I wanted to write a review to express my huge thanks to Russ and his team at True. Blue. Having stayed at this wonderful hotel many times across the last 15 years, I would say that this was my favourite. This was my first time as a little family and for my young daughter Sofia (nearly 3) to visit Grenada and True Blue, a country very special to me as was home to my late grandfather and grandmother. True is and has always been a beautiful and charismatic place to stay that really captures the essence of Grenada and traditional Caribbean charm in a rustic yet extremely comfortable way. However it is the same things that I noticed this year that made it so special. The warmth of the team towards me and my family is something I will truly not forget. Every day everyone remembered Sofia’s name and made her feel special. And my daily chats a with Russ the owner made me feel like one of the family……. Thank you Russ 😁. I actually felt like I lived at True Blue by the end of the holiday as was very sad to leave…… so thank you all at True Blue for all that you did and keep on doing what you do….. the views, the vibe, the rustic charm and charismatic staff and excellent house keeping staff will keep me coming back. …
From the time I landed in the Airport, I was taken care of. Communication here is by far the best: efficient, timely, professional. The staff are kind and well kept. I love how this is a Family Fun Environment for everyone even the kids, babies and pets. There are cultural aspects of which to take in as well as the LIVE Music, Street Food and Shoppes. I spent New Years Eve night listening to some of the best Soca Local Artists on island, Fireworks and Vibes that go one well into the Night. Breakfast and Dinner portions are generous here so you'll never go hungry + all of your transportation and excursion needs can be arranged through concierge. Perfect for Solo Trips, Honeymoon for Lovers and the Whole Family.
I visited Grenada for the first time in August 2021. My stay at True Blue Bay was great. Very helpful staff at the reception who are also very efficient. They gave us directions on how to get to places, booked us a lovely boat trip with snorkelling and in all, were never too busy to assist. Our room was properly cleaned daily too. We stayed in one of the beautiful Cocopod Suites. The entertainment at Dodgy Dock was quite good. The breakfast was quite limited. There weren’t too many food options although I suspect this was because of Covid, since most countries were just coming out of lockdown and most hospitality businesses were just getting back on their feet. Another negative which is no one’s fault really..... At breakfast, you cannot leave your food unattended. The birds in the area just swoop down on your food including your drinks and eat up everything. This is was really annoying especially if you’re dinning alone and you leave your breakfast on the table to maybe grab a cup of coffee. I hope the Management can do something about it. In all, I had a fantastic stay In Grenada and particularly at the True Blue Bay Resort. I highly recommend it and will definitely be staying there again on my next trip to Grenada.…
