Overview
Sandals Grenada (formerly Sandals LaSource) sits on Pink Gin Beach in St. George's, the quietest and most secluded resort in the entire Sandals collection. Grenada sees far less tourism traffic than Jamaica or the Bahamas, which shapes everything about a stay here — fewer crowds, a slower pace, and a real sense of getting away, at the cost of some restaurant and excursion variety you'd find on a busier island.
Why Choose Grenada with Sandals
Grenada, nicknamed the Spice Isle for its nutmeg and cocoa production, offers a genuinely different pace than the rest of the Sandals portfolio. The resort's Skypool Suites and Rondoval villas are among the most distinctive room categories in the whole collection, and the island's diving and snorkeling — including the Molinere underwater sculpture park — rank among the best in the region.
Choosing the Right Resort
One resort on Grenada, the most secluded and least-visited island in the Sandals collection. Best suited to couples who specifically want quiet, a slower pace, and fewer crowds over variety and nightlife — the tradeoff that defines this resort in both directions.
Why Visit Grenada
Grenada sees far less tourism traffic than Jamaica or the Bahamas, and that shapes the whole character of a trip here. Nicknamed the Spice Isle for its nutmeg and cocoa production, it's the quietest, most secluded destination in the Sandals collection — a real getaway rather than a busy resort strip. The tradeoff is variety: with a single resort and a less-developed tourism scene, you won't find the restaurant and excursion density of a busier island.

- •Molinere underwater sculpture park — one of the region's more distinctive dive and snorkel sites
- •Grand Etang rainforest and waterfalls for an off-resort excursion
- •Nutmeg and cocoa plantation tours reflecting the island's "Spice Isle" identity
Getting to Grenada
You'll fly into Maurice Bishop International Airport (GND) in St. George's. From there it's only about a 5-minute transfer to Sandals Grenada — the shortest airport-to-resort transfer anywhere in the Sandals collection.
Travel Tip
Because Grenada sees less tourist traffic than Jamaica or the Bahamas, flight options are less frequent — book your flights early, especially around the December holidays, when seats fill up fast.
When to Visit Grenada
Peak Season
Mid-December through mid-April is dry season and the island's peak, with the least rain and daytime temps in the mid-80s.
Value Season
June through November is wetter, though showers tend to be brief, and this stretch offers the best value — with one exception: late July into August brings Spicemas, Grenada's carnival, which raises prices despite falling in the technical off-season.
Shoulder Season
November and May are good picks for better availability and lower rates without the wettest or busiest stretches.
The Only Sandals Resort in Grenada
Sandals Grenada (formerly Sandals LaSource) on Pink Gin Beach is the sole Sandals property on the island. Because there's no second resort to compare it to locally, it carries the whole destination on its own — a 225-acre estate with Skypool Suites that float above the ocean, private-pool Rondoval villas tucked into the gardens, and 10 restaurants across 4 villages.
That review breaks down every room category and restaurant in detail — this page is about whether Grenada itself, as a destination, is the right fit for your trip.
Grenada Weddings and Honeymoons
Grenada's seclusion is its biggest draw for couples who want privacy over variety — fewer crowds and a slower pace than Sandals' busier islands. The resort handles on-property planning and ceremony logistics; start on Grenadian marriage paperwork early, as with any destination wedding.
