The Verdict
Worth it for your honeymoon?
Sandals Grenada is the couples-only all-inclusive flagship on Pink Gin Beach — a 257-suite resort on the south coast cliffs and beach, opened in 2013 and substantially renovated in 2023. The defining inventory is the swim-up suites — the Rondoval Suites (circular thatched-roof villas with private plunge pools and direct swim-up pool access), the Skypool Suites (rooftop infinity plunge pools with 360-degree island views), and the Millionaire Beachfront Walkout Suites (direct beach access from a private plunge pool terrace). Sandals operates the rate as fully inclusive — every meal at the nine specialty restaurants, every drink including premium spirits, all watersports including PADI scuba diving, and all spa access. The Pink Gin Beach is a small, intimate cove with calm leeward water and the resort's most unusual feature: a pink-tinged sand visible at certain light. The honeymoon machinery is the most polished in the Caribbean — Sandals does honeymoon programming at scale, with welcome cocktails, candlelit dinners on the beach, and structured upgrade paths. Couples wanting full inclusion, structured romance, and the security of a large-scale couples-only operation will find Sandals Grenada the obvious choice. Couples wanting boutique scale and personal service should prefer Calabash or Spice Island.

Room Recommendation
Which room to book
The Rondoval Suites are the iconic Sandals Grenada accommodation — circular thatched-roof villas with private plunge pools accessible via a swim-up channel from the main lagoon pool, butler service, and a distinctive interior with high beamed ceilings. For pure beach access, the Millionaire Beachfront Walkout Suites are the apex — direct Pink Gin Beach access from a private terrace with plunge pool. The Skypool Suites at the southern cliff edge offer the most photographed view: a private rooftop infinity pool with the sea on three sides and the lights of St George's at night.

Day by Day
Your 7-night honeymoon itinerary
Arrival at Pink Gin Beach
Direct from JFK or MIA to Maurice Bishop International (GND) in 4 hours, then a 15-minute transfer south to Pink Gin Beach. Sandals operates a private arrivals lounge with cold towels, sparkling wine, and an immediate suite tour. First evening at the resort's beachfront Italian restaurant Cucina Romana, with the full Sandals welcome including a complimentary couples photo session at sunset.
Pink Gin Beach & Pool
Pink Gin Beach is small but calm — the morning is spent on the resort's reserved sand with included paddleboards, snorkel gear, and Hobie cats. Lunch at Bombay Club, the resort's Indian specialty restaurant. Afternoon at the Red Lane Spa for a couples treatment (extra charge above the inclusive rate). Sunset cocktails at the Sky Terrace bar overlooking the cliffs.
Belmont Estate Cocoa Tour (External)
Sandals concierge arranges an external tour to Belmont Estate — the 400-year-old cocoa and spice plantation 90 minutes north. Full cocoa-to-bar tour, lunch at the estate's verandah, return via Annandale Falls. The Sandals all-inclusive rate covers meals at the resort but not external excursions, so day tours are an additional cost ($150-200 per couple including driver).
PADI Scuba or Underwater Sculpture Park
Sandals includes PADI scuba diving in the inclusive rate (one tank dive per day), and the Underwater Sculpture Park at Molinere Bay is a 30-minute boat ride. Snorkel access is also included for non-divers. Three-hour trip with reef stops at Dragon Bay. Lunch back at the resort, afternoon in the main lagoon pool, dinner at Butch's Steakhouse (the surf-and-turf specialty).
Spice Tour & St George's
Concierge-arranged tour through the spice plantations of Gouyave and the Nutmeg Processing Cooperative — Grenada produces a third of the world's nutmeg. Continue to St George's, the photogenic horseshoe-port capital, for lunch at BB's Crabback Caribbean Restaurant and a walk through the Saturday spice market on the Carenage.
Catamaran Sunset Sail
Sandals operates a complimentary sunset catamaran sail two evenings a week — limited capacity, book through the concierge on arrival. The route runs along the southern cliffs and up to Grand Anse for the sunset, with included rum punches and canapés on board. Dinner at the resort's Beach Bistro on the cliff terrace, with the full Sandals candlelit honeymoon setup.
Spa & Departure
Final breakfast at Beach Bistro, a final morning at Pink Gin Beach, and the 15-minute transfer to Maurice Bishop International. Sandals operates a complimentary departure lounge with shower facilities for late evening flights. Most US departures leave in the afternoon and the resort accommodates a noon checkout for honeymooners as part of the package.
Honest Assessment
What to know before you book
Pink Gin Beach is small compared to Grand Anse — couples wanting a long beach walk should plan a day off-property at Grand Anse 15 minutes north.
Sandals is a 257-suite resort, not a boutique — atmosphere is structured, programmed, and at scale, which is the appeal for some couples and a downside for others.
Couples-only rule means no children anywhere on property — the atmosphere is consistent.
Hurricane risk July-October; the resort stays open year-round but September has the highest risk.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Good for honeymooners?
Sandals Grenada is among the most honeymoon-dense properties in the Caribbean — the couples-only rule, the structured honeymoon programming, and the all-inclusive rate that includes everything from premium spirits to PADI diving make this an exceptionally efficient honeymoon option. Couples who have stayed at other Sandals properties will recognise the operating standard, executed at the highest specification at the Grenada flagship.
Best time to visit?
December through May is the ideal dry-season window with cooling trade winds. March and April are the most stable months for catamaran days. May and early June offer excellent shoulder value before the July-October hurricane risk. November is the re-opening of the high season with improving weather and quieter rates. Avoid late August through October if storm risk concerns you.
Book in advance?
Rondoval Suites and Skypool Suites book 6 months ahead for high season — these are the photographed inventory and demand exceeds supply. Beachfront Walkout Suites have more flexibility but still need 3 months. Christmas, Valentine's, and Easter sell out a year ahead. Sandals frequently offers a 'book early, save up to 40%' promotion for stays 6+ months out.
Adults-only?
Yes — Sandals is strictly couples-only with no exceptions, including no children anywhere on property. The atmosphere is consistent across the entire 257-suite scale, year-round. This is one of the strongest couples-only operations in the Caribbean alongside Sandals St Lucia and Couples Negril.
Best room type?
The Rondoval Suites are the iconic Sandals Grenada accommodation — circular thatched-roof villas with swim-up pool access and butler service. The Millionaire Beachfront Walkout Suites offer the best direct Pink Gin Beach access. The Skypool Suites at the southern cliff edge have the most photographed view (private rooftop infinity pool with the sea on three sides).
How to get there?
Maurice Bishop International (GND) is 15 minutes from Sandals. 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). Sandals includes round-trip airport transfers in all inclusive rates.
