Royalton Grenada, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort

Darin Zaborski

Background: Have been fortunate to visit multiple world class properties and being a lifetime Hilton Diamond and Marriot Bonvoy Titanium I know what “GOOD” is. There were so many poor reviews on this place I actually canceled my reservation twice. But I decided to forge ahead and man we are glad we did. This place was fantastic and really special. Food: There were lots of bad reviews on the food but we found it to be one of the highlights of the trip. We had zero problem making a reservation through the app. I recommend everyone do the Italian restaurant one night at 6PM for the great sunset views and cruise ship departures. Our favorite ended up being the buffets (we ended up doing them most nights). There is literally something for everyone at the buffet (multiple soups each night, a great salad bar, several protein options, veggies, carbs, bread, and rotating theme night options. There is even burgers and pizza for kids and adults who don’t like to stray. Bottom line on food, if you can’t find something to eat on the buffet it’s on YOU! Drinks: Again, lots of complaints about running out of stuff and watered down drinks. Didn’t find this to be the case. Had no problem finding a place to get a drink and the drinks were fantastic. Resort: The resort and location are fantastic. Incredible location and beautiful landscape. It’s located on a really good stretch of beach (much better than the Sandals which is next door). You do need to be careful entering the water in some sections as its rocky but there are plenty of good areas to enter. The pools were great and never felt too crowded. Loved having a drink right by the ocean as we watched the sunset each night. Butlers: This was an area of “what do they really do?”. Our “butlers” were very nice and always seemed to be around when you didn’t need them and never around when you did. I think the “butler” is just a worthless throw in for diamond club guests. You don’t really need them. Staff: We found the staff to be very pleasant and friendly. No issues here despite what some of the comments said in the reviews. Location: Great location, 5 minutes from the airport and not too far from many other things to do. We are scuba divers, and our dive shop was only 10 minutes from the resort. Multiple taxis and overall a great place to be for the week. Diamond Club: Lots of comments about Diamond club, is it worth it or not. It basically costs us $200 more per night but I would do it again. The rooms and room location are much better, you have priority access to reservations, and you have the bar, food, and coffee bar just for Diamond club right near your room. Quirks / Issues: One of the biggest quirks of the week was the fact that they never had coffee for your room “they were out” all week. Not a big deal if you were staying in the Diamond club rooms because they had a 24-hour coffee machine (for the early risers like myself). One day the entire resort seemed to be out of towels, but they did get some later in the day. Other small stuff bothered me like not putting more coffee cups out in the morning and cleaning up the Diamond club bar (they could have removed the empty liquor bottles). Overall assessment: The ultimate “final grade” on a stay is the following question. Would you come back and stay here again? We would absolutely come back and stay here again and in fact I will specifically look at Royalton properties to stay at in the future when going to the Caribbean. These folks run a good operation.

We just returned from a week at the Royalton. This was a hit for all our must haves. It was a 2 minute cab ride from the airport, the beach was incredible with good shade and tons of loungers. The resort was at full capacity during our stay however we never knew because of how well everyone was disbursed and things were mostly relaxed with that island vibe we needed. Food was delish and we only camped out at the buffet. We found the variety enough and the food was plentiful. We were in building 17 which was close to both the beach and main entertainment/cafe/lobby area. We spent afternoons by the pool which had a great atmosphere thanks to Junior and the super awesome vibe team. There were activities/board games in the lobby bar area if you needed a break from the sun. All the staff at the resort were kind and attentive. Our kiddos (4&7) loved hanging out at the kids club with Jovanna and her team. We had reservations about booking here given some of the negative reviews however we are so happy we booked it and highly recommend to anyone debating it. We also met many other guests from Canada, the UK and US who felt the same. Special shout out to the following Royalton staff who made our trip memorable and went out of their way to provide the utmost level of service. We will be back!

I could not give 5 stars because the food was not good at all. There is no way a chef is actually tasting the food they are serving. If they are, they need to be fired. Breakfast was absolutely the worst. Room service and the buffet. The buffet needed to be more sanitary. That turned me off completely. For an all inclusive, the menu was extremely limited. We ate off the resort for almost every meal and we were there for 5 days. We would only order when we were just too tired to venture off the grounds. Sometimes they would run out of food options. Simple things like apple juice and orange made you want to empty the glass down the drain which we did. The juice boxes they provided in the rooms were way better but as an adult, do you want to drink juice boxes? Some people may argue and say they are cooking for the masses but we ate at the calabash hotel twice and the food quality was amazing. Our room was up to date. The spa was amazing! Staff were very kind! Alcoholic Drinks were great too. I would HIGHLY recommend to eat elsewhere.

Review for Royalton Grenada Royalton Grenada left little to the imagination – it was absolutely stunning! The resort exudes modern elegance, with breathtaking views and facilities that are truly top-tier. The customer service was impeccable, with every staff member going above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience. The only downside was the lack of authentic Caribbean food that truly showcased the unique flavors of Grenada. Adding more local dishes to the menu would elevate the experience even further. That said, everything else was a perfect 10/10. From the accommodations to the hospitality, Royalton Grenada is a place I’d return to without hesitation!

I had a fun vacation staying at this resort. The spa was amazing shout out to Kimberly! She is the best. Swedish massage and coconut wrap treatment were divine. The staff was super friendly and nice. Miriam, Kimberly, and Vorlan were super attentive and accommodating. George taught us several new dances and kept the party live and entertaining. Resort activities were fun and engaging. I would've given a five star but I wasn't a fan of the front desk staff. Check out process was not efficient. Given check out is noon and most folks want to eat before they leave the resort, the buffet lunch should start at noon at least for departures. Our airport pickup was scheduled at noon. The buffet opened late and by the time we were seated we only had 10 minutes gulped down our food. Very unpleasant experience. Additionally, didn't give a five star because food quality and diversity of selection was inconsistent. Also, didn't like that a smoker checked in below us. We weren't able to fully enjoy our balcony. Smokers should be co-located together. This too was a very, very, very unpleasant experience. Almost dropped my review to three star. But overall it was a really fun high vibe spot to vacation.
