Petite Anse Hotel

We had a wonderful stay at Petite Anse from when we arrived until we left. Our amazing taxi driver Leon picked us up from the airport and took us back and we also spent a day with him where he took us around the island. Our Cinnamon room was perfect with a stunning view and cleaned to perfection every day. We enjoyed the Grenadian breakfast and the special dish Oil Down that was made for us. The evenings were great chatting to Melvin in the bar, who made the most amazing cocktails. We hope the wedding was fabulous and trust that your speech went down well, Melvin ;) We had a perfect five days at Petite Anse, which has left us with many fond memories.

Beautiful setting. Well thought out room. Privacy and comfort. Loved the room porch with the hammock!

If you want rest and relaxation, then the modest extra effort to travel to the less developed north of the island is well worth it. There isn’t a lot around Petite Anse other than lush greenery and peace and quiet, but that was what we wanted. The hotel is small and set on a hillside overlooking a cove with a beach that is almost private given the rocks that jut out at either end. The views from the bar/restaurant terrace are spectacular, looking out to Carriacou and Petite Martinique. We alternated between the mostly deserted beach and the small pool by the bar most days. You don’t have to just sit by the pool though, the hotel runs a number of tours (thank you to Leon) including one to the deserted Sandy Island which was super pretty. ( it is worth noting that there was a fair bit of litter there that had built up from previous visitors that somewhat detracted, but when we spoke to Philip the hotel owner about this, he said they would organise a clean up visit) There is also a fun Sunday morning walk that finishes in a local bar and then back to the hotel for a bbq, which was the food highlight of the week. Our beachfront room was called Cocoa and had direct views from our bed to the beach, which was a great way to start the day. We were adopted during our stay by Tommy the hotel cat, and we would gladly have smuggled him back home with us if we could. He benefitted more from the milk that was left daily in our fridge for our tea and coffee than we did. The staff were friendly and keen to help and the atmosphere was super relaxed and personable. It was nice to see lots of locals frequenting the bar and restaurant which made the hotel feel more Grenadian and authentic than other places we stayed. This isn’t an anodyne resort, it has its quirks and issues, but that is part of its charm. For example our shower refused to deliver any hot water during our stay and the food was pretty basic, although i think the main chef was on holiday when we were there. Thankfully it didn’t have evening “entertainment”, if you discount the firefly’s lighting up the trees by the terrace or the frog chorus vying with the sound of the waves rolling up the beach.

The staff was very friendly and the room was very clean

A beautiful place to stay, the staff couldn't have been more friendly or helpful ! We would recommend The Petite Anse Hotel to anyone wanting to visit Grenada.

Besides the lack of wine and whatnot, there was a nice big bed, a very large roti, and very kind staff.
