The Verdict
Worth it for your honeymoon?
Mount Cinnamon Resort is the boutique value-luxury choice on Grand Anse — a family-run 21-suite property arranged across a hillside above the southern end of Grand Anse Beach, originally built as a private estate and converted to a small resort in the early 2000s. The suites are arranged across colourful Caribbean-painted villas (pink, yellow, ocean blue) on the hillside with private terraces facing west over Grand Anse Bay — the property is famous for the sunset view, looking down the full curve of the beach with St George's harbour to the north. The beach is reached via a short shuttle down the hill (or a 5-minute walk through gardens) to Mount Cinnamon's beach club, a relaxed pavilion on the sand with sun loungers, watersports, and the Savvy's Beach Bar restaurant. The hillside positioning trades direct beach-front access for two genuine advantages: privacy and the view. Rates run roughly half what Spice Island and Silversands charge for comparable suite categories, and the family-run service consistency is the strongest in this price band on Grenada. Couples wanting full ultra-luxury should book Calabash or Silversands; couples wanting boutique character, the best sunset on Grand Anse, and excellent value will find Mount Cinnamon the right answer.

Room Recommendation
Which room to book
The Cinnamon Suite (the apex one-bedroom suite at the top of the hillside) is the honeymoon-sized configuration with a private wraparound terrace, plunge pool, and the most expansive view of Grand Anse Bay. The standard Pool Suites are mid-tier — private terraces with smaller plunge pools, still hillside-positioned. For couples wanting maximum beach time over hillside positioning, the Beachfront Suites at the property's beach club (a separate cluster directly on the sand) offer direct beach access at a slightly higher rate than the hillside suites but lower than the apex Cinnamon Suite.

Day by Day
Your 7-night honeymoon itinerary
Arrival on the Hillside
Direct from JFK or MIA to Maurice Bishop International (GND) in 4 hours, then a 12-minute transfer to Grand Anse. Mount Cinnamon's arrival sequence includes a welcome cocktail on the property's private hilltop terrace with the sunset view of Grand Anse Bay below. First dinner at Savvy's Beach Bar restaurant on the sand — the conch fritters and grilled mahi are the signature.
Grand Anse Beach Day
Down the hillside shuttle to Mount Cinnamon's beach club for a full Grand Anse day — two miles of soft white sand walkable in either direction, calm leeward water, complimentary kayaks and snorkel gear. Lunch at Savvy's, afternoon rest in the suite's plunge pool, sunset cocktails on the private terrace looking down the bay.
Belmont Estate Cocoa Tour
Mount Cinnamon concierge arranges a driver for the 90-minute drive north to Belmont Estate — the 400-year-old cocoa and spice plantation in St Patrick. Full cocoa-to-bar tour, lunch on the estate verandah (oildown, callaloo, fresh juices), return via Annandale Falls. Sunset back at Mount Cinnamon with cocktails on the suite terrace.
Underwater Sculpture Park Snorkel
Short drive north to Grand Anse main beach to board the boat for Molinere Bay's Underwater Sculpture Park — Jason deCaires Taylor's installations sit in clear 3-8m water. Three-hour trip with stops at Dragon Bay and Flamingo Bay reefs. Lunch back at Savvy's beach bar, afternoon at the property's hillside pool.
Annandale Falls & Grand Etang Rainforest
Inland day to the volcanic interior — Annandale Falls (10-metre cascade in a green amphitheatre) and Grand Etang National Park (the crater lake at the island's centre with rainforest trails and Mona monkeys descending to feed). Lunch at the Grand Etang lookout, return via the spice market in St George's.
Sunset Sail
Concierge-arranged sunset catamaran sail along the south coast — typically a 3-hour trip departing Grand Anse with rum punches and canapés on board. Return to Mount Cinnamon for the property's signature sunset dinner on the hilltop terrace with the lights of St George's coming on in the distance.
Beach Morning & Departure
Final beach morning at Mount Cinnamon's club, breakfast on the suite terrace, and the 12-minute transfer to Maurice Bishop International. Mount Cinnamon offers a late-checkout option (until 2pm) at the family's discretion for honeymoon couples on later flights.
Honest Assessment
What to know before you book
Hillside positioning trades direct beach-front access for the view — most rooms require a shuttle or 5-minute walk to reach the beach club.
Mount Cinnamon is a small boutique with 21 keys — services are warm and personal but the operating scale is far below Sandals or Spice Island.
Spa is limited compared to the larger flagship properties; couples wanting elaborate spa programming should book Silversands or Spice Island.
Hurricane risk July-October; the property closes briefly in September each year.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Good for honeymooners?
Mount Cinnamon is one of the most-loved value-luxury honeymoon choices on Grenada — the hillside privacy, the sunset view, the family-run consistency, and the beach club access deliver an experience that punches well above the price band. Couples who want boutique character without the ultra-luxury price will find this the right answer.
Best time to visit?
December through May is the ideal dry-season window. March and April are the most stable months. May and early June offer excellent shoulder value. November is the re-opening month with quieter rates. Avoid September entirely (closure).
Book in advance?
The Cinnamon Suite (the apex configuration) books 3-4 months ahead for high season. Standard Pool Suites and Beachfront Suites have more flexibility. Christmas, Valentine's, and Easter sell out 6+ months ahead. The property is small enough that shoulder bookings often qualify for a fourth-night-free or complimentary upgrade promotion.
Adults-only?
Mount Cinnamon accepts families but the hillside layout and the boutique scale mean honeymoon couples and returning travellers dominate the guest mix. The property is not configured for young children (no kids club, no shallow children's pool) and the atmosphere is consistent with that.
Best room type?
The Cinnamon Suite is the apex one-bedroom with private terrace and plunge pool at the top of the hillside. The standard Pool Suites are mid-tier with smaller plunge pools. The Beachfront Suites at the beach club offer direct sand access at a slightly higher rate than hillside suites — choose hillside for the view, beachfront for the convenience.
How to get there?
Maurice Bishop International (GND) is 12 minutes from Mount Cinnamon. Direct service operates from JFK (American, JetBlue), Miami (American), and London Gatwick (British Airways). European travellers without a direct usually connect via St Lucia (SLU) or Barbados (BGI). The property arranges all airport transfers.
