Grenada’s Spice Island Resort Earns Four Diamonds

The 64-room Spice Island Beach Resort in Grenada received the AAA Four Diamond Award recognition for the third consecutive year, which will appear in the AAA 2009 Caribbean Tour Book guide. Less than 3 percent of the more than 32,000 properties approved by AAA achieve this rating.

“Acquiring this distinction once again is a true testament to our high caliber of service, accommodations and amenities, and most importantly, our dedicated staff,” said Sir Royston O. Hopkin, KCMG, owner and chairman of Spice Island Beach Resort. “Spice continues to position itself as one of the most elite and exceptional properties in the Caribbean,” he added.

Spice Island Beach Resort has launched a promotion where guests receive a free night on stays of seven nights or longer. Guests visiting for a week can stay for seven nights but pay for only six.

Those interested in longer visits receive even more value when they book 14 nights and pay for 12, or book 21 nights and pay for 18. The promotion is available in all room categories and valid for travel April 16 to Dec. 15. Rates start at $700 per room, per night, based on double occupancy for an Oleander Garden Suite.

Fully-inclusive rates include accommodations; breakfast, lunch and dinner daily; afternoon tea; beverages including house wine at dinner; use of non-motorized watersports such as snorkeling, kayaking and Hobie cat sailing; golf greens fees at the nine-hole Grenada Golf Club; and concierge and room service.
