I love your Carolina Tee Shirt. My cousin's daughter graduated from USC in 2023. & their son is currently a Freshman there in the Sports Management Program.
Congratulations to Dawn Staley & The Lady Gamecocks & all Gamescock's Nation on winning the 2023-2024 Women's Basketball National Championship. Go Cocks!
Go gamecocks!!
This resort just looks stunning even by the vlog. I can't comprehend what the experience of the scenery must be in person. I dream to vacay here for our honeymoon
We can make that happen ☺️
Sandals Grenada looks beautiful and I love that the Airport is just on the other side of the hillside. Sandals Grenada is on my bucket list.
Yes!! It’s definitely a bucket list resort and destination!!
Luv luv it I was laughing when you jumped into the pool. Glad you enjoyed your self did I hear that's your third time there awesome.
Yes! We love this resort and island! One of our all time favorites! Having the private pool off the room was 👌!! ☺️
This Butler team is top notch! We loved them so much :) I felt like I was in Grenada again! 🍹
Yes!! We loved them too!! Really enhanced our entire stay!!!
Newbie here. Can you tell me what the average tip per day for the butler is?
Our tips range depending on how much our butlers do for us. For example, I broke my foot at Southcoast. We only had 2 butlers there and tipped $600 for 7 nights. In St Lucia and Grenada we had 3 butlers each trip. We always try to tip close to $25-30/butler/day. 👍
@@acouplecaribbeantravelers Thank you
Looks wonderful!
Thank you!! It was amazing!! ☺️ thanks for watching our channel!!
My husband and I went in April 2021. We loved it there, the staff was wonderful. Our flight was aweful, but that was a separate issue from Sandals
Glad you had a great time at the resort!! Thanks for watching!!
Happy that your enjoyed your stay at our small beautiful island ❤❤
Us too!
Thank you for visiting!
We enjoyed it and will be back!!
Your trip look amazing. We plan on going to the Sandals in Saint Lucia next year to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary.
Hi Debbie! We'd love to help you if you would like us to, our link is here: PenyakTravel.com/contact either way, thanks for stopping by our channel!
One of the most informative vlog, i enjoyed every minute of it and good butler service. 😅made me want to do this soon, maybe I will. ❤
You should! It’s great! ☺️
Great video. Makes me want to visit. Just subscribed.
Thank you so much for subscribing to our channel!! ☺️
Your video was very informative. Do you have an average tip per day for the butler?
Thanks for the video! I’ve been to Le Blanc Cancun and Cabo twice. Just booked Sandals Grenada for the first time and super excited. How do they compare as far as food and drinks?
Hi! So sorry for the delay! We LOVE Le Blanc resorts (we’ve been as well). They are fairly similar but I would give Le Blanc the edge in food. Grenada is much more about the destination. That said, Grenada is our favorite Sandals and the destination won’t disappoint. Enjoy your trip!! ☺️
What is the pool/beach chair situation like in the summer? We are trying to choose between Butler level and Club level (I like to be on the beach). Willing to upgrade to Butler and be away from the beach if it means being guaranteed a lounge chair. :) Looked empty and a non-issue in your video, though.
Hi Kelly!! Thanks for watching! We were there during lower occupancy. The butlers will guarantee you a space on the beach (a nice one!). They will reserve you pool or beach chairs with your name on it and a cooler full of drinks. Our next podcast episode will be “butler or no butler.” We will probably release it this week. Honestly, we love the butler service, if you haven’t had one at sandals we highly recommend it. There’s no other personal service like it at any sandals resorts. Hope this helps and feel free to reach out to Janet anytime Janet@PenyakTravel.com ☺️
New subscriber, when is the best time to travel to Grenada, we usually take our trips on our annivesary which is in September. I will have to reach out to plan our next annivesary trip for 2023. We already have our trip plan for this September. Do you guys also plan in state trips?
Hi!! We’d love to help you plan the perfect anniversary trip! Grenada really isn’t limited by weather so anytime of the year is great. It’s one of the southern most Caribbean islands so the climate is fairly consistent. We do plan Disney, Universal Studios, and Vegas packages. Thanks for the subscription too! ☺️
Which sandals do you recommend between this one, sandals Barbados, and either of the Bahamas ones?
Hey! Thanks for watching! Grenada is probably our favorite, but all of the resorts are different, so it would depend on what style you’re looking for.
What is the welcome drink served when you check in at resort in Grenada? Thank you In advance
Hey!! I’m honestly not sure the name of it, typically its their “local specialty” it was good! I do remember that! 🏝☺️
We are currently booked in the waterfall luxury suite, and wondering if we should upgrade to a club level room. Not sure how hard it is to get reservations without club level. Any thoughts?
Enjoy your trip! You will be fine without the upgrade to get dining reservations (I do not believe they favor room category when it comes to placing a dining reservations). We like the club level rooms, it would come down to personal preference. Hope this helps!! Thanks for tuning into our channel!
Do you notice the airplanes (looks like it's close to the runway from Google maps). Thank you
Hi Stuart! Thanks for tuning into our channel! The airport is close, but there's little to no noise from it. There's a fairy large hill in between the resort and the airport. Also, the Grenada airport is very small and does not see many flights at all compared to other Caribbean destinations. Hope this helps!
I cant wait to make one of these videos myself 🥰
It’s fun!!
I can tell 😁 i absolutely loved your videos you have a new subscriber here!
@@lesliegayeman8680 Awesome! Thank you so much! We appreciate it!!
I noticed in the video no one in the ocean is it not a good ocean to swim in or was it just the timing of the video? Also what were the yellow things in the ocean?
Hey John! Thanks for checking out our channel! If you pause the video around the yellow floating rings you’ll see people in the water. It’s very swimmable and has pretty good snorkeling right off the beach! The yellow floating rings are sturdy rings grounded to the bottom of the water and you can lay on them hang out by them (great to hold your drink while your floating in the ocean!). We enjoyed the beach here (and the swim up bar in pool too! 😃). Hope this helps!
What are your thoughts about this resort compared to St Lucia Grande? It looks newer, less excursions/sports available? More for relaxing and beach time?
Hi Nia! That’s a good podcast episode for us to do (Grande St Lucian VS. Grenada). We’ve been to both recently and have a vlog on the Grande. Grenada is newer and is a good bit smaller than St. Lucia. I like the dining options at Grenada alittle better. There’s more off resort activities to do in St. Lucia. Grenada has more of a laid back feel. Hope this helps!
@@PenyakTravel definitely a good postcast topic! Especially for us Sandals newbies. Thanks for the helpful reply!
Leaving for the resort in two weeks. Overall, how safe did you feel about any Covid Protocols?
Hi! In Grenada all guests have to be vaccinated. However, we feel that feeling safe is really up to the individual, what one feels is safe another may not feel as safe. So it’s a hard question to answer. Personally, we felt fine there, but that’s just us.
How was the beach experience at Sandals Grenada compared to others? Choosing between Sandals Grenada and Sandals Barbados right now!
Hi! Thanks for watching! The beach at Grenada is nice, it’s not the biggest, like what you’ll find at Negril or Antigua but it’s very very swimmable and has really nice views and blue water. If you’re choosing between Barbados and Grenada we would definitely pick Grenada over Barbados, we’ve been to both resorts and Barbados as recent as a few weeks ago.
@@PenyakTravel Thank you for your reply! We are trying to find the best beach experience overall. Love to do snorkeling, so you would say Antigua over Grenada in terms of beach? What about St. Lucia? Thanks again!
@@ballerbreaks6337 of those listed above, if it’s just about the beach than Antigua is the best!
Is there a butler level room with an ocean view?
Hi Joe! Thanks for watching the video and checking out our channel! Yes! There are the Skypool butler suites that we have a video of on our channel. The views are stunning! It’s one of our favorite room categories!
what is the best time to hit the pool? my wife is concerned she will be chilly of our stay we are heading there macrch 22nd, 2022. Any advice in this category will be appreciated.
We were there in February a few years ago and the pool was comfortable. You should be fine, if you have heavy rain it could lower the pool temp but overall you’ll be good! 🏝☺️
What resort have you been to that has the most beautiful beach?
Hi!! Thanks for watching!! Sandals Emerald Bay would top that list ☺️
Butler vs no butler? Is it the extra cost really worth it?
Hi!! Thanks for watching! Everyone has different budgets and options when booking. Personally, we feel the butler service at Sandals particularly is worth it! Other resort brands offer a butler level service and they don’t really match the personal service you’ll receive from a sandals butler. If you can swing it, it very much worth it!!
I’m just going to be blunt here. Is the patio an plunge pool area private enough to be naked?
Hey Ron! Thanks for checking out the channel! It probably is, we certainly can’t recommend that as travel professionals, that said, it’s your room and your privacy. 👍
Is the butler escorting you to dinner mandatory? Is it not safe there??
The butlers escort their guests to dinner as a gesture of service. They will also seat you and grab your first drinks and water. It’s an enhanced level of service.
How was the flight? How long from Miami to Grenada? Thank you
Hi Sheila! It’s about 3 and a half hours from Miami. Thanks for watching ☺️
Great video! However, I was hoping for more info on COVID protocols. In particular, in the unfortunate event you *do* test positive and can not return to the states; where must you quarantine? Can you stay in your same room? Or must you go to a particular part of the hotel and remain there until you can test negative ? Can you leave your room for at least a walk on the beach? We want to book a reservation here, however it is unclear what happens in worst case scenario. I've tried researching this online, but I can't get clear answers. It seems to be very safe there in regards to Covid, but I'd be concerned about a false positive. Thank you in advance!
Hi Margaret, thanks for watching! In the event you test positive the day before you leave you could be moved to a different room. You can’t leave the room, you can go on the balcony. You have to quarantine for 5 days. These are United States regulations, not local Caribbean. If you do test positive, you can test again every day, if you test negative before the 5 days are up you can leave quarantine early. At the end of the 5 days, regardless if you’re still testing positive, you can return to the U.S.
Is getting a butler worth it??
Yes!! Grenada has some of the best too!! ☺️
How long was the car ride from the airport to the resort?
About 5 minutes! It’s very close but the hillside prevents noise from the planes! It’s great!
No beach time?
Hey Matt! At the 10:05 mark we head to the beach, we also went for a few sunsets. It’s not the biggest beach but it was very relaxing spot! 👍
Can I ask how much you paid for your Grenada trip in this video???
The pricing will vary depending on the time of year you travel and availability at the resort. As an example this October 29th is $1,700 per night for the room we had. Thanks for watching! ☺️
Is it more for a butler?
Yes! But it’s soooo worth it 😀🏝
Is there anything to do other than eat?
Hi Dennis! Tons to do, we go to this resort often and did not to much off the resort during this particular trip. They have good scuba/snuba diving, snorkeling, 4x4 tours of the island, deep sea fishing, tons of historic tours, river tubing, and a lot of non motorized water sports at this resort. Hope this helps and thanks for tuning in!
Is this still your top resort of all??
Hi Matt! It is our top Sandals resort, it is really hard to compare the smaller island all-inclusive resorts to larger destinations like Mexico. It would really depend on the individual traveler travel style. That said we LOVE this resort!!
Is the beach swimmable?
Hi! Thanks for tuning into our channel! Yes, it is very swimmable!
Go Gamecocks!
Where the heck are all the other visitors?? Its like a ghost town. And do they offer scuba lessons and dives?
Hi!! We believe they were probably around 80% occupancy. The resort is nicely laid out, we’ve been during peaks where the resort is nearly full and it feels the same. You can get resort certified at the resort and they do dive trips daily! We didn’t do one but have done them at other sandals and they are a lot of fun! ☺️
@@PenyakTravel thank you. I want to go but I was hesitant about huge crowds. I noticed the Sandals beach front wasn't too big, or was that an optical illusion, looked like there were two rock jetties on both sides of the property making kinda small. Which Sandals resort in your opinion has the best beach?
@@rustybaxter9606 the beach here is maybe a tad on the small side but very swimable and has pretty good snorkeling right off the beach. Antigua and Exuma probably have the best beaches out of all of the sandals resorts. If you love a nice beach I would start with those! Sandals Southcoast in Jamaica also has a really nice beach!

I really want work with you
