The Caribbean island of Grenada is full of flavor.
With its focus on spices, the island's biggest export, the "Spice Island" remains unspoiled and mostly unbothered by the tourists who come to explore its gorgeous beaches and its jungle-like scenery.
In the midst of all Grenada's glory sits Grand Anse Beach-an award-winning waterfront and one of the best beaches in Grenada. Known for its long shoreline, soft powder and small crowds, Grand Anse is a place to rent a chair for a day and settle in for a striking sunset.
While Grand Anse Beach is worth visiting on its own, it's possible to book a resort that offers access to this beautiful beachfront. Grenada's Mount Cinnamon Resort has one of the best spots along the shore, taking up the far western end.
Offering only 21 luxury villas and suites, each room at Mount Cinnamon Resort offers amazing views of Grand Anse beach and Grenada's mountainous peaks. Some of the larger rooms also offer on-site kitchens, separate living rooms, and a washer and dryer. Nightly rates for basic rooms, called Cinnamon Suites, start around $437 in May, while a stay in one of their two-bedroom ocean view villas would set you back around $811.
Though the hotel itself sits across the street from the beach, guests can enjoy a large freeform pool, high-speed internet in every room, free local calls, cable television and their own coffeemaker. The island's topography has made it so every room, from the smaller accommodations to the multi-bedroom villas come with wow-worthy views.
But, the real treat at Mount Cinnamon Resort takes place at its beach club across the street. Here, guests can pick a private spot on the beach under their own umbrella, swim in the crystal clear Caribbean Sea, take part in stand-up paddle boarding, ride on a Hobie cat with assistance from a professional guide or snorkel from the shore.
The beach club is also home to its own waterfront restaurant, Savvy's. This spot is ideal for an afternoon drink, a fresh seafood lunch or a romantic dinner. Guests can also enjoy free breakfast at Savvy's as part of their nightly room rate, with coffee, tea, cereal, pancakes, breakfast burritos and plenty of other morning favorites on the inclusive menu.
If you're looking for a gorgeous destination to celebrate a honeymoon or other special occasion, Grenada is worth considering. But, if you want the beauty of the island all to yourself, it helps to book a resort that offers upscale amenities with the privacy you desire.
Mount Cinnamon Resort's small footprint makes it ideal for anyone hoping to get away for some romance. There's no doubt that this island is a little slice of heaven.
