- True Blue Bay Resort
Conveniently located on the beautiful waters of True Blue Bay on Grenada's Caribbean south coast, this hotel is the ideal holiday destination for a South Seas experience. Commanding exquisite views of the south coast of Grenada where the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean meet, it is just a short distance to the best golden sand beaches, waterfront restaurants, shopping centres, banks and the airport. Links to the public transport are around 1 km away.
This family-friendly hotel is a special West Indian hotel set among tropical gardens that slope gently towards the sparkling blue waters of True Blue Bay. The unique design with tree trunk columns and exotic Caribbean flowers in every corner makes it a truly tropical paradise. A total of 31 rooms are on offer and amongst the facilities count a foyer with a 24-hour reception desk, air conditioning, a safe, a currency exchange desk, conference facilities, Internet access and a bicycle hire service. Moreover, there is a newspaper stand, 2 bars, a playground and room and laundry services to take advantage of. The restaurant has a deck built over the water, which allows guest to take full advantage of the views out over the bay. There are 3 parking spaces for those arriving by car.
Each of the beautifully decorated rooms comes with an en suite bathroom with a hairdryer, individually controllable air conditioning, a direct dial telephone, satellite/ cable TV, a radio, an Internet connection, a kitchenette, a microwave, tea and coffee making facilities, ironing equipment, a king-sized bed, a hire safe and a balcony or terrace as standard. For family holidays, there are the 2-bedroom cottages with views out over the sea or the Indigo Rooms, all with connecting doors that provide very comfortable accommodation for all the family.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
Stayed here in late september in a two level on the water room. Was very pleased with the resort itself and the staff who were all very kind and attentive. The cost was worth it and I would definitely stay here again.
If you are doing the diving, this is a great choice. Diving is spectacular and right at the hotel.
If you are not diving, read on.
Housekeeping and spa are great. The rooms are spacious and nice.
You must embrace island time here. Breakfast is supposed to start at 7, it rarely gets going before 8. This becomes very difficult for divers as they run out of time and have to grab and run. Any meal at the restaurant will take at least an hour from Order to delivery.
Water sports is supposed to open at 11. No one arrived before 1230 (when we gave up) any day we were there. Regardless of the number of times we went to the front desk.
Day passes. A very large contingent of students from the university arrived one day (at least 40) and ran everyone off from the pools, restaurant etc. They were so obnoxious, drunk, loud, women were topless and in thongs, doing drugs, smoking, etc and no one stepped in. I’m sure the hotel makes a lot of money from them on alcohol alone but man, it sucks for the people staying here. We had to usher our kids out of there with a quickness because of what they were learning.
There is a concierge but I’m Not sure what they do. We contacted them prior to our trip and several times during about an excursion and then showed up and no one had any idea what we were talking about. We showed them all the emails and what’s apps etc and they were just like oh, hmmm, well nothing is booked.
Don’t go by what the website lists as the food available. Only about 1/4 of that is available now and each day when you sit down you get a long list of what they don’t have: no chicken, no bacon, no cheese, no lettuce, etc etc. You end up getting about the same three choices every day. I Hope you like cheese quesadillas!
There are supposed to be night specials at dinner and music some nights. This is even advertised around the hotel. But they can’t make pizzas at all so no pizza night, music is one night a week, etc. the general dinner menu has about 6 things and it gets old fast.
We asked the concierge for some local places to eat, Not only did they not help with reservations but the two places they recommended are permanently closed??? We tried to set up a ride to the market and we got a list of taxi companies from the concierge. No help at all.
The people are extremely nice but this is in no way a resort or luxurious so just go into it with open eyes.
5 of us went to the spa on Wednesday. Some of us did the welcome package. I ended up doing the Wednesday Wellness package. 25 minutes of back and neck massage followed by 25 minutes of reflexology.Sue was amazing. I told her a little bit about some of my challenges with my shoulder. She worked how many of the tight areas. If you’ve never had reflexology done, I would highly recommend this all five of us. Had a great time. I was able to use the dry and steam sauna afterwards and they have a shower with chromotherapy which uses light therapy and adjust the temperature of the shower to produce a relaxation effect
We stayed at True Blue Bay Boutique Resort while in Grenada for our son’s White Coat Ceremony at St. George’s University, so this was already an especially meaningful trip for our family. True Blue Bay made the experience even more memorable.
The resort has such a warm, relaxed feel to it. It doesn’t feel like a large commercial hotel — it has character, beautiful tropical landscaping, lovely views over the bay, and lots of little areas where you can simply sit and enjoy the surroundings.
The location was a huge advantage for us. Being so close to SGU made everything around the White Coat Ceremony very convenient, and it was wonderful to be able to come back to such a peaceful setting afterward. The proximity to the airport, Grand Anse and other parts of the island was also a definite plus.
One thing we especially loved was the number of swimming pools spread around the property. Rather than everyone being concentrated around one large pool, there are several pools tucked into different parts of the resort. Because of that, they never seemed overcrowded, and it was always possible to find a quiet, relaxing place to swim or unwind. We really appreciated that.
There is also something very special about the story behind True Blue Bay. Owners Russ and Magdalena Fielden travelled and worked in hospitality in different parts of the world before choosing Grenada as the place where they wanted to settle and raise their family. Russ is originally from England and Magdalena from Mexico, and they purchased what was then the True Blue Inn in 1998. Over the years, they transformed it into the beautiful resort it is today. Their daughters are now involved in the business as well, and you can sense that family connection throughout the property.
That history gives True Blue Bay a personality that is difficult to manufacture. It feels genuinely connected to Grenada rather than simply being a hotel located in Grenada.
We also enjoyed the waterfront atmosphere around the property and Dodgy Dock. There is something very relaxing about sitting by the water, enjoying the breeze and watching the bay. It became one of those places where you naturally wanted to slow down and linger a little longer.
For any parents visiting a student at SGU, attending a White Coat Ceremony, graduation or another university event, I would certainly recommend considering True Blue Bay. The combination of its location, beautiful views, relaxed atmosphere and thoughtfully spread-out pools worked extremely well for us.
Most importantly, this resort will now always be associated with a very special moment in our family, watching our son begin his medical journey at SGU.
We leave Grenada with some wonderful memories, and True Blue Bay was very much a part of them.
We would gladly return.
I had an amazing day pass experience at the resort Special thanks to SKY the best!! And kadera Excellent service from them
