Kalinago Beach Resort

It was directly on the beach. It was safe and secure. They accommodated an early check-in for me. The BBQ jerk ribs were amazing.

The hill to get off the resort is steep. Should try investing in a mode of transportation to get up the hill. There were a lot of flies in the restaurant where the food is, which ultimately led to flies being on people’s food. I seen a bird fly onto a plate on the bar where food was waiting to be served, took food off the plate, and it was still served to the customer.

The staff were very helpful and professional

The location as even to go to the shop a taxi was needed because of the very steep hill This added to the cost of my trip as going to the shop, which wasn’t far away. I could of walked

Lack luster...

So disappointed. Was overcharged at the hotel by $20 usd. Then after JAB JAB they said three towels were dirty because of me and then they charged me an additional $50 usd. When I got to the hotel the pillows and sheets all had stains. Staff ok - but they like to overcharge.

Beautiful location near the most stunning beach. Very nice staff.

No elevator some of the rooms need a little bit of maintenance.

Location

Nothing

The location is perfect - BBC beach is quiet and has options for food/drink

The beds/linens/pillows were incredibly uncomfortable and old. Lumpy pillows, yellowing linens.

L’emplacement sur la magnifique plage et la tranquillité. Merveilleux spot!! Super bien situé. Accueil sympathique du personnel et également vraiment tres propre. J’aurais donné un 8-9 si ce n’était des commentaires plus bas.

Les chambres désuètes. Les chambres et le site manque d’amour comme on dit. Il y a tellement de potentiel de faire de jolie chambre confortable et d’améliorer la qualité. Les porte de garde-robe ne fermaient plus et une m’a littéralement tombé dessus pendant la nuit lorsque je suis allée aux toilettes. Ca a fait un bruit choc par terre, ca dû réveiller tout le monde. Le lit qui craquait énormément à peine allongée. C’est à se demander s’il allait tenir en place une fois les deux couchés. C’est correct de payer pour le spot et l’intimité de la plage mais encore faut-il que les équipement soient minimalement conformes et sécuritaires. La réception devrait être aussi retapée, pas super accueillant, mais c’est un détail. Je ne recommande pas de payer pour le déjeuner, café instant servi.

We did not have breakfast. Overall the location was excellent.

Distance from shops

The beach was very walkable and quiet. It's a no/ frills property, so if that's what you like. It's perfect. The loungers are comfortable and there is bar is close. The bay is beautiful with amazing sunsets. Water is beautiful and calm with spectacular sunsets.

The property is in need of remodeling. Lighting is bad and bedding is old. Other than that it is very comfortable. It's a bit remote, not a walkable area.

Perfect location. Nice clean room. The staff were exceptional.

Nothing.

Enfrente al mar

Las habitaciones podrían mejorar, cama y almohadas.

Loved the resort staff very friendly. beachfront room was amazing. only complaint beds are kind of small for adults to share but otherwise amazing view. amazing Beach. no complaints

The staff is lovely. The BBC Beach is extraordinary. So peaceful with easy to reach dining options, too.

Excellent for family with children. Calm and shallow beach.beautiful sunsets, would advise renting a car for sight seeing. A+ rating.

Grenada is beautiful.This hotel…not so much! This is easily the worst hotel/“resort” I have ever stayed in. I have been to at least 15 countries and 8 Caribbean islands. Let’s start w the fact that the pic on the web is fiction. If this place ever looked like that I can assure you it does not now. Our beds had dirty linen. There were mismatched lamps w dirty lampshades throughout the room. Not one of them a had a bulb more than 40 watts. With every light on in the room I could not see to read before bed because of the lack of light. Also there was NO HOT WATER in the bathroom. No hot water at a beach resort/hotel is unacceptable by any standards.When we asked the hotel management to address the lack of even warm water they sent a man to repair it who ran his hand under the lukewarm at best  water and attempted to gaslight us by repeating over and over that the water was hot. There are cats all over the property and they literally lounge freely outside of the rooms, at the beach bar and on the beach itself. My sister had an allergic reaction due to the cat dander being tracked into the room & the management denied the cats’ existence altogether. More gaslighting of course, so that we couldn’t switch hotels. The door to the room couldn't close completely. They also had the worst food.I ordered a simple jerk chicken wrap and it arrived charred black & burnt on one side! When I complained because I could not eat it, they deducted the tax! This hotel is substandard & unacceptable.

Was great

Nice

I made a reservation through Expedia, when I arrived I was told that the room I booked and paid for was not available. I have not received a refund yet.

Private beach and feiendly atmosphere

Great location - service staff very welcoming and supportive

The beach,amazingly beautiful. The warmth and friendiness of the people. The delicious meals that can be obtain at the front restaurant on the beach. Gems.

Super relaxed place to enjoy the beach

👍

Being right on the beach was great.

Depending which cruise ships were in, the parking lot was swarming with buses full of tourists. They stormed the grounds and took over the place, grabbing all the chaise lounges, then the chairs from the pool. It totally ruined the serenity that I was led to believe I was going to get. One day, the resort rented out the grounds for a birthday party. Screaming kids took over the whole pool. On Sundays, anyone who wants to can pay admission and use the whole place. The Rhum Runner party boat dumps all its passengers on the beach. One day, fishermen came ashore with all their nets, leaving behind hundreds of dead fish in the water. The room was clean but dated. The balcony had a great view of the beach. The grounds were meticulously maintained. The beach was beautiful. The pool had a swim-up bar. But there was no microwave, coffee pot, suitcase rack, tissues or hair dryer. Only a kettle. There was no floral arrangement in my room as advertised. I never knew whether my shower was going to be the polar plunge or molten lava. It changed daily. We lost water and electricity twice, and for hours at a time. The ceiling fan didn’t work. Nor did the outlet in the bathroom. The air conditioner blew directly onto the bed. The balcony chairs were hard wooden slats. Most of the chaise lounges were broken or missing pieces. The restaurant was not open for dinner. There was a barbecue on the beach, but the food was cold. We had to use water shoes because the beach was full of stones.

The property was on rhe beach. This was so nice. I also liked that they made the beds everyday and changed the towels. The breakfast we had was good as well. The coffee quality needs improvement. The light fixtures in the room are ugly and the lighting is poor. Blue color on the wall needs changing.

A delightful hotel, wonderful staff and superb location

Staff accommodating, knowledgeable & ensured we (my husband & 2 children) were comfortable the entire stay very kid-friendly....BBC beach right at your door...but you need to hire a taxi to go anywhere as the property's location is not walking distance from Grand Anse beach or Spiceland mall, 40EC by hired minibus

What I enjoyed most was the beach right next to the resort. I also had an excellent relationship with the staff, who were friendly, proactive, and thoughtful. My room was outstanding and had everything I needed. All in all, I can look back on a fantastic stay!

A minor drawback was that I had to wait a bit longer for the hot water than I'm used to.

The property is safe and truly beachfront. The staff are pleasant and do what they can to accommodate your needs. The hotel is seriously dated and in need of upgrades. Resources are low, making it difficult to meet customers needs. During our stay we had issues with leaks, no hot water, TV that didn’t work. Staff seemed to try to resolve, 1 of 3 issues resolved. Loved Grenada but would not stay here again. If you’re on a budget and can work around some of these deficiencies it is doable.

The room HVAC did not work. There was what I believe was mold in the bathroom.

Great location, amazing views of the island and great beach on site of hotel.

The hotel has potential to be great and not just average for a number of reasons as listed below :- Sun beds, need replacing, the majority are damaged and not fit for purpose. There also need more as not enough for the guests staying at the hotel and there is a battle in the morning between guests to get. Staff, the reception team make you feel your are inconveniencing them when you ask a question or need assistance. Working in customer service industry myself I really saw this as the biggest weakness at this hotel. There are some great staff who really do provide a good service but they are the minority. Communication, there are serval events hotel runs weekly. These were not listed on the notice board and we only found out by receiving a call at the last minute of them happening. There seems to be a lack of daily management on site to motivate and drive the team to success. Please don’t see the above as a negative, more just feedback on how they can improve. I did enjoy my stay, it’s a location where you get to experience local culture, however I fear that if the Kalingo doesn’t invest it will get left behind by all the new hotels that can provide more…

Great location. Nice people. Look forward to returning soon.

The hotel looked just as advertised on the website, everything was very clear, the bed was very comfortable, a great night sleep. Super in the night was delicious and the breakfast was great, will definitely recommend a stay and will also visit again.

Beautiful beach really friendly staff

Found it hard to sleep due to the noise of the air con and being on the ground floor

Nothing. Very dingy needs updating

Nothing. Very dingy needs updating

The beach , VIP access to the beach million dollar view

The bed and pillows really uncomfortable

The property was well maintained and clean. However, there should be more to do while at the resort. We attended a party on Wednesday night but no functions either Thursday or Friday night were available. My husband loved the Chicken Roti but the Lambi (Conch) I had was terrible. I couldn’t even finish it. It took a long time for food to be served but the staff was very friendly.

Excellent beach that is more peaceful and relaxing than Grand Anse, staff friendly and helpful

Water pressure was weak, mostly went without hot water, pool furniture was in disrepair, had to drag your own beach chair out to the beach while the security guard pulled out his chairs bright and early to rent to the cruise ship passengers, had to go to either the bar or restaurant anytime you wanted ice.

Staying at the Kalinigo Hotel is a bit like enjoying the curate's egg, very good in parts but with irritating asides. The beach is superb, one of the best I have enjoyed and the addition of a fresh water pool at the hotel was excellent. The staff were always friendly and helpful and the location was first class, about 15 minutes from the airport. The dining facilities were a little unexpected but very good and very friendly. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our 10 days at the Kalinigo but there were some irritations. The TV never worked, not a great problem for us but could be for others. The room safe never worked, again irritating, it only needed a new battery and the whole area needs better looking after. Broken sun beds, broken sun umbrellas and piles of rubbish just left around. Would I stay again, Yes, the overall experience was Very Good so please tidy up the place and sell an really good facility better

The property needs renovation, the linen and towels are very old and dingy. This is the second time I have stayed there. Staff is excellent but these old sheets and towels need to go. The tiles in the bathroom need steam cleaning and there should be an additional lock on the doors

This place felt like a hidden gem. It wasn't walking distance to a lot of things, but the trade off was a quiet beautiful beach almost at our doorstep and avoiding the crowds at the more popular beach nearby.

Scenery and food and staff

Needed transport to go to another beach if desire to do so

The location is very quiet and on the beach

The Wi-Fi was very bad at times I had to move around to get a stronger signal Also the restaurant was closed and had to use another close by which was not so comfortable

On nice beach and good value for money

Nothing (although has a few little maintenance issues)

The hotel location is ideal but the building reqrires some upgrades.

Nothing really. Room was tiled and somewhat clean

The hotel is largely abandoned by management. The lobby is bug infested, covered in cobwebs and broken lighting. Very depressing for a reception area

Friendly staff clean room restaurant was good

Staff is a bit slow moving

It was ok. Hardly any variety in the menu. Staff was nice and helpful. Beautiful scenery

Lots of mosquitoes. No microwave to warm food. Wifi quality was poor. Too far away from shopping

Excellent location Great rooms The beach is amazing Recommend including breakfast in your booking A little thin on staffing but we were there the week before carnival

The resort staff was amazing! Super helpful and welcoming the whole time we were there. You can’t beat the location either. We will definitely be staying here in the future.

I loved that it opened unto the beach and the staff were friendly

Rustic feel

The entire staff was amazing? Very welcoming and friendly.

Kalinago Beach Resort is small, and that is what I liked about it. The beach is about 5 city blocks long. The water is warm and calm.

Clean rooms and a great location on Morne Rouge Beach

This is not a Resort at all. No restaurant @ the property. No hairdryer. The chairs @ the beach are old and dirty . The hotel need maintenance in general. The best thing about the hotel is beach and the view. The staff are great.

The room was exceptuonally clean. Bed was suoer comfy and lovely pillows. All sraff were extremly helpful. The pool arra looked a little tired the seats - sunbeds could do with renewing. Overall a pleasant stay as this was booked at extremly short noice (2 hours)

The beach is beautiful. The hotel could use some updating. New pillows and linens would REALLY help. The restaurant breakfast is good. The rest of the meals, meh.

This property is right on the beach, amazing break fast, and you get to have in looking out in the beach. The was huge and a huge bed. Lot of sapce and a large bathroom. Power out out for Euro zone, UK, North America, and the caribbean is availale. You choose to use the pool which is beach side or you walk a few feet in to beach itself. Excellet properity and location is even greater. Wonderful and friendly and accomadating helpful staff. Thank for a wonderful exprience

The property is on one of the nicest beaches in Grenada. It’s fairly private and quiet besides when they herd people from the cruise ships thru the property n to the beach.I’ve stayed here a 4th time recently and have seen the steady decline, especially since Covid. Simple things could b done that just aren’t !I will not be staying here anymore on my travels to Grenada

The beach is very nice. The stuff is helpful and kind to you.

The location is a bit far from shops and restaurants.

We had a fabulous stay, the hotel was clean & safe with a beautiful beach steps from our ocean view room. THE PROS: This beautiful beach is on a small bay that feels very exclusive with plenty of beach loungers chairs, trees for shade & 2 beachfront bars. This is an idea place for couples, seniors or families. Our room had a lovely oceanfront balcony, a fridge and two four poster beds. The ac and hot water worked perfectly. The staff was very friendly and helpful. THE CONS: the hotel is somewhat old, and could use some updated decor. It’s also not in walking distance of any restaurants or grocery stores, the beautiful exclusive location means you will need a rental car or taxi. The food was mediocre at best, and the servers are slow and absent minded. Our stay included breakfast, and they never got it right once..I have a feeling the cook didn’t start until later in the day and the servers tried their best to cook it themselves. Also a bus load of passengers from the cruise ship are dropped off at this beach daily, it won’t affect your pleasure, they only stay 2-3 hours and go back to their ship. All in all I would absolutely return to this hotel, it does need some work yes, but the location is amazing! If you want an exclusive feeling, and truly tropic Caribbean experience & if you’d like to get away from the busy main strip that feels like pretentious Miami than this is the place for you!

Needs a bit of an upgrade. We booked this as it’s on the beach. But too many dogs running freely on the beach. Messing on the beach.

The beach is perfect.

Everything

My whole experience was horrible . My last 3 days they had no running water. I called the front desk with my personal phone, they told me water should be on in 5 mins it never came on. There was constant drilling and pounding on the roof every day. The pool had bugs in it. They never once changed my sheets in the 9 days I stayed there. Only gave me 2 clean towels, no clean rags . The phone in the room didn’t work either. I would never stay there again or recommend that anyone does.

very helpful staff beautiful location

Hotel very quiet and serene beach front and water very calm Excellent atmosphere for relaxing Not far from restaurants and shopping and also the airport

The property was run down and needs lots of improvements, updates and/or ground keeping. It was scary just getting there. The road had over grown grass and weeds. It looked abandoned. The shower head barely had a drip. This owner has to put some money into the property. Do not recommend this property.

The people were very friendly! The grounds are full of vibrant Caribbean flowers and bushes. The food was okay- sometimes fried foods over cooked. Drinks were good. Pool clean and very nice. Swim up bar was a nice add in. The beach is beautiful. This hotel is right on a bay that is great for snorkeling and swimming. Live music in bars and restaurants in the area. A 5 minute trip to the grocery store. Room had refrigerator but needs a microwave.

My room offered a beautiful view of the sea, beach and swimming pool. The location was always quiet and peaceful and therefore ideal for rest. The bedroom and bathroom were very spacious. The 4 poster bed was very comfortable. Room service was excellent.

Staff were friendly and professional but the room was average. For the package I selected, breakfast was very poor. There was no fruit, no juice and no cereal. To compound the matter, for the last two days the TV was useless. I could not look at any live programmes and felt cheated for the $2000 US I paid.

Staff generally seemed resentful I was there. Service seemed to be testing me... In cuttingly aggressive FU postures. In fairness, a few people engaged in a welcoming and gracious way. The bar plays music so loud you will be part of that. Moments of unexpected delight also materialize here. I was seated on the beach to experience the magic as the surf nibbled at the chair

Great views of the beach. It was a very unfriendly environment for children; only one discolored and dirty looking high chair was available and no cutlery suitable for use by children. The back view of the property was in disrepair and looked like a junky. Service in the restaurant was slow and staff were not professionally dressed or seemed energetic. Would not recommend this place to anyone

The staff was not friendly. Staff seemed irritated that we were there requesting services such as a cocktail or meal. Extremely slow service, restaurant was to open at 7 but not ready to seat us until 730, and then coffee by 8. We are happy glass half full type, same comments from other guests. Will not stay here again

You have my comments. Bed was broken Food is not good or selection is limited. Far from civilization. Need a car to get around.

Great location rooms are clean. Service is very slow not a lot extra goes into it. Rooms are great easy taxi ride to grande Anse beach. Wouldn't recommend the all inclusive package for a place to sleep and close to beach it’s great.

Loved the beach location. Staff were very friendly. The rooms are a bit dated, but the beds comfortable and clean!

Right on the beach with the classic azure blue waters to splash about in. Its nestled in the middle Morne Rough beach, a secluded area with little traffic on any sort. Nice staff, comfy bed, decent enough food, cold beer.......A nice place.

Nice place to relax. Just to avoid the restaurant. Save your time and money

Perfect location right on a quiet beach. Hotel is well kept and staff is very friendly and helpful.

Diana, my housekeeping staff member, was the best!! She took exceptional care to ensure both my room & I were taken care of every day!!! Management should do all they can to keep her! This was my 3rd stay at Kalinago, and certainly not my last!!! Love it!!!!!
