Our Grenada Blog

A couple of months ago, we had heard that the Grooms Beach Villa & Resort had finally opened for business. We had seen the construction, but had not had a good nose around to see how things were progressing.

Anyway, we got the chance to visit the place yesterday.

The place is slightly off the beaten track and just a short 5 minute walk to two beaches, Groom's beach and one by the Beachhouse restaurant (sorry, can't remember its name at the moment).

Our first impression on going in was how quiet it was. There are no traffic noises, as it is in a residential area and it is sufficiently set back from the beaches that you do not hear the surf.

The staff were exceeding helpful and we got a tour of the place...took some photos as well ;-)

It is a charming place and they have done their best to keep the old Grenadian plantation house look. The house of course is in excellent shape and you simply cannot compare it to what was there at the beginning.

Dave & Jackie, the owners, have done a simply amazing job of rebuilding it.

They had visited Grenada in 2001 and fell in love with the place. After searching the island, they came across this old plantation house which was literally falling apart.
