Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Beautiful location, disappointing service I stayed at Le Phare Bleu Marina Resort for one week in a Seafront Two-Bedroom Cottage. The property itself is very beautiful, but unfortunately, my overall experience was extremely disappointing. On the very first night, after showering and heading out, we returned in the early hours of the morning to find there was no running water anywhere in the cottage. There was no staff available to ask for help, so we had no choice but to go to sleep and wait until morning. Thankfully, the water was back on when we woke up, but it set the tone for the rest of the stay. Another major issue was the showers. On the first day, there was warm water, but for the remaining six days, it was only cold water. It honestly felt like the hot water had been shut off. Taking cold showers every day was not only annoying but completely unacceptable for a resort at this price point. By the third day, I realized no one had come to clean the cottage, replace towels, or take out the trash. I went to reception to ask and was told rooms are serviced on the third day, so I assumed service would happen. We returned later only to find the room still untouched. On the fourth day, I asked again and was assured it would be cleaned. That evening, we returned to find towels changed, trash taken out, and the floor mopped. However, the cleaning was clearly incomplete—the sink and toilet were visibly dirty, and I had to use dish soap to clean them myself.
We were lied to by Expedia, this property did not have free shuttle to the airport, plus it was 30 or more minutes from SGU and it cost $50 for a taxi each way. Expedia said it was 10 minutes away. The plumbing seemed to be an issue. The toilets did not flush well. The doors to close for the evening did not work/close, had to call maintenance.
This is quaint marina-style resort. It has some age to the facility, but that added to the enjoyable atmosphere. I would love to stay here again.
The customer service is exceptional. Planned my stay while abroad and everything was executed flawlessly.
Amazing resort right on the ocean. There are 3 property cats that are sweet and fun to have around at night. The staff is very kind and friendly. The only thing we found challenging was the distance to other things such as groceries and restaurants.
Beautiful property.
This resort is not walking distance from anything else, BUT you don’t need anything else. The rooms have small kitchens and there is a well stocked mini market. They have an Asian kitchen for breakfast’s and lunch along with the main restaurant which is superb - the best food on the island. Great marina is you are arriving by boat. Small beach but good sized pool. Most importantly all of the people here are happy and friendly which creates a great atmosphere. Thoroughly recommend. Thanks to Shauna for always being there for help and advice
Tranquility, comfort, beautiful views, kayaking, very pleasant people.
Great little villa but would have really liked the outer door to lock completely. Staff was great for the hotel, restaurant was very slow but good food.
A beautiful place in a beautiful place! This hotel is off the beaten path but worth the daily (sometimes more than daily) trip to get to the other places on the island. The food at the restaurant is quite good, and our only advice is to go when you are not hungry because by the time your meal arrives you will be! (code for service is an opportunity area). Highly recommend!
We really like the cottage where we stayed: spacious, comfortable, clean, opening up directly into the garden, nice separate kitchen, sunny. We were with our two teenagers so space is critical. Service was friendly, even if provided at the proverbial Caribbean pace... Also enjoy the setting next to a marina and the possibility for a light meal on a boat. The pool could be cleaner and service at breakfast, a bit faster. For those where the beach is a priority (we live in Barbados so we do not care), the hotel sits on a very small beach with muddy water and algae. There are many better beaches in Grenada.
The mosquitoes were bad. Eventhough they provide a scented oil spray to help, they were quite annoying. Other issue was the poor service at the restaurant. As far as food is concerned, no dinner on Sundays. Lunch menu good but breakfast is limited and not very good. Each place has a kitchen. I'd plan on doing some of your own cooking.
We could not have asked for a better stay. We rented a sea view villa and it was perfect. Great layout, quiet and the perfect view for a morning coffee
Beautiful secluded property. If you're looking for peace and quiet, it's the place to go.
Great place, not crowded, friendly and accommodating staff. The service could have been a little better but that was true of the entire island and not specific to the resort.
Unique location on an area of the island that is mostly residential. The Marina is nice to have and meet others. Staff was nice and helpful. We ate at the restaurant many times... fish bites and fish tacos are great! The Lightship on Friday was fun. There are things that could have been better. The paddle boards are not the best (one is missing a plug and fills with water) some of the beach chairs on the sand were falling apart. Our kitchen has enough miss matched stuff to make dinner for two... but barely. You need to taxi or rent a car. We used Ryan and Larry as our taxi rides everyday and they are great. Overall not bad and we would return if we have the chance.
Very nice relaxing place. We loved the bungalow with the private pool in the middle! The manager was very helpful so was also the lady at the welcoming desk. Recommended place indeed!
Wonderful family stay with comfortable villa set up. Beds were great with AC and netting. Lots of mosiquitos so will need deet. There were two bedrooms and 2 great bathrooms and kitchen and living room, and outside dining table. It had a view of ocean and docks. Really wonderful laid back setting. There were some things that needed to be fixed and they responded quickly to our bringing it to their attention, though the tv and one of the toilets were not able to be fixed during our stay. Pool was getting redone while we were there and they provided us with an alternative pool. It is a lovely setting and adjacent to restaurant with good food and bar. On Friday nights there is a lighthouse historical ship that has entertainment and food and bar. There is a marina so boatpeople are part of guest population. Great place. Good people. We were so sad to leave. FYI..it is a $30 (u.s.) taxi to town one way, so plan one day tour or different beach than one at hotel. Beach at hotel is part of marina so not as clear as Anse beach or magazine beach. Still, it has great view and sandy beach at Phare Bleu.
Serenity , ecosystem, the spirit of the was unique.
The area was quite and clean. The cabins were not too close to each other. Privacy was able to maintained .
The front desk person is the key factor her name is Reshina and the car service guy named Kevin made our trip exemplary. Great location but little too far from everything. But manageable. The restaurant should improve time management and breakfast should start at least around 6:30 am. The menu must include pancake muffins French toast.Koiprathu.john Mathew
I liked the style of the property. Its decorated very contemporary and the outside is well kept and beautifully maintained. The bedroom is spacious cool and airy. The cottages indoor/outdoor living areas are a great concept, but you have to prepared to be hot during the day, since only the bedroom have air conditioning. The bathroom being on the outside of the bedroom is also inconvenient. I also feel like some of the spaces needs to to given some attention. For instance, the windows and corners were dusty. The bathroom had a bit of a moldy smell. There were a lot of mosquitoes and bites regardless of spraying all day long. I also wished there was room service available and also not happy with the restaurant closing at 3pm on Sundays. We had to drive out to get dinner when we should have be able to eat or have drinks on the property. I also felt that housekeeping should be on a daily basis since things get messy on vacation. For instance, I had to keep calling for toiletries and towels as we took multiple showers per day. All that said, the overall atmosphere is great. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The food and drinks are good. The Friday night light ship entertainment is also a great experience. If you looking for a quiet tropical environment then this is a great place to visit.
The place is beautiful! We rented a two bedroom Villa which is a real get away from traffic and stress. I can relax in the hammock all day, feel the breeze, and watch the ocean. The kids had fun kayaking too!
Quant , beautiful conclusion to our visit to Grenada!
Le Phare Bleu is a very relaxing resort, has good people working there, a good marina, gas/diesel by (jerry can only), a very nice restaurant, pool and beach area. We used it as a place to relax while hauling our boat at nearby Clarkes Court Boatyard.
I like the location, the secluded nature of the villa, the peacefulness of the area and the freedom to wonder. I was a little disappointed that the property is not kept to the standard that it was a few years back, i'e the floor boards has lost the beauty of the varnish and so it now looks dull. Apart from that our stay was very relaxing. I would stay again if some decorating is carried out.
Loved the staff and Kevin, an affiliated taxi driver. Loved the open air restaurant/bar with wonderful breezes coming in off the bay. We came as several couples with two of them staying at the Serenity Villa. That was a wonderful place for them to stay, and a great group meeting place. The Garden Villas were also very nice. There is a wonderful pool and some small catamarans, paddle boards and kayaks available for use - very nice! The only very minor negatives would be low lighting levels in the Villas and the fact that you need a taxi or rented car to go anywhere. There is no place to walk to except the beach, pool, restaurant and bar, which wasn't really a bad thing at all. Overall, we all enjoyed this quiet, peaceful, very relaxing and friendly resort.
This is the kind of resort i love, individual, quiet off the main drag. Could do with a few more amenities, a shop and maybe a coffee bar. Loved the place and staff.
Loved our upper floor 1 bedroom unit. Huge deck, nice deck furniture, our own stand up bar, open up living space and seperate bedroom and bathroom. All very clean, nice linens and well done. Restaurant and staff are very good. Pool is small but nice view out over the marina. If you are looking for a very comfortable place to stay - out of the Grand Anse area- this is it. It is quiet - nothing happening here - but very well done. A rental car is needed as you can exore from here and come back for your evening. Can you tell - I like this place.
Les villas sont bien espacées et procurent un sentiment d'intimité et de tranquillité au milieu de jardins bien entretenus. Les villas sont bien meublées et confortables. Bien que la cuisine soit bien aménagée, il serait utile d'ajouter quelques assiettes et ustensiles supplémentaires ainsi qu'un tire-bouchon.
Le Phare Bleu was an amazing stay in a tropical paradise. The open air rooms provide an awesome touch nature, while the perfectly air conditioned bedroom provided the perfect night sleep. The Island Fever restaurant/bar served great meals and tropical drinks. The marina view reminded me every day that I was on a wonderful vacation. The Light Ship floating bar/restaurant/music venue was an experience that I have never experienced before.
Very beautiful and remote place on the people that nice
Le Phare Bleu was the perfect destination for a solo vacation. The resort is located away from the hustle and bustle of the town of Grand Anse which is about a fifteen minute drive away. The quietness and peacefulness enables one to relax and recuperate fully. The staff goes over and beyond to ensure that their guests are taken care of. Carla and Ronisha at the front desk are excellent with recommending and setting up activities. There are an abundance of water activities at the resort such as: kayaking and snorkeling. Rocky, the shuttle driver is always ready to take guests where they need to go and is a resourceful tour guide as well. Theresa is immaculate in making sure that the villas are tidy and clean. Overall, the positive and cheerful attitude of the staff makes your stay of the resort even more enjoyable.
Beautiful property Very friendly people Great food Dinner only. We were there in offseason. Breakfast lunch not available. Wish we could have spent more time. We were there only 3 nights and off property a lot with other crew members staying elsewhere before 7 day sailing trip.
It was very quiet as it was off season . Service and quality of facility excellent , highly recommended!
It did not start off good. The hotel is changing into villas and you are to provide your own food and we did not know this when we booked. The restaurant is only open from 6pm to 11pm and not everyday. There is a full kitchen if you want to cook but we don't want to cook on vacation. The staff was AMAZING!!! Love Carla, she is very sweet and the hotel manager was very gracious.
Very private and seculded
We really enjoyed staying here with our two (really) young kids and grandparents on a boat in the marina. Nothing was too much trouble and we loved the authentic elegant vibe.
Far exceeded our expectations. Super clean and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Highly recommend!!
I stayed at hotel for 11 day the front desk restaurant and house keeping staff was very pleasant and friendly. The room is great the bed is comfortable but the bathroom needs some updating. Breakfast was wonderful. I love the concept of the hotel the only con is that u have to come out of your room to go to the bathroom but. Other than that I luv luv luv the hotel.
Beach was not too good. Water quite murky, went to other beaches for a swim! Chalet was amazing with own kitchen, ideal for self catering! Food was below par really in the restaurant.
The grounds were beautiful. We enjoyed our experience at this resort. My only caveat would be that it tends to get hot and humid and only the bedroom is air conditioned. We ended up spending most of our time in our bedroom when we were in the villa. Also, the pool was closed for 2.5 days for cleaning. That was frustrating. The location may only be 5 miles from St George's University, but it takes about 15-20 minutes to get there and a cab ride costs an average of $20 usd, making it expensive if you are in Grenada to visit someone at the school. Also, the beach is pretty mucky and full of weeds. Not at all like the beaches around Grande Anse beach. With all of that said, ifbypuvate looking for a quiet, beautiful villa with friendly people this is the place for you!
We spent a week in a downstairs apartment, set in beautiful garden area. Tasteful decor in all rooms, beautiful modern bathroom (shower no bath), There was air conditioning in the bedroom only but it didn't feel necessary in the lounge area as there is a very effective large ceiling fan. There are no mosquito screens on the louvre doors & windows in the lounge/kitchen area but with the fan on and using repellent we had surprisingly few bites. Repellent was supplied when we checked in - nice touch. There is a mosquito net over the bed so you can sleep in comfort Breakfast was local food and varied, brought at time requested to our patio. it was lovely. Housekeeping were thorough and very friendly. The pool is absolutely gorgeous and so is the cute little beach. I didn't bathe on this beach (not at it's best at this time of year with the rainy weather and sea weed that washed up) but it was a lovely view. There's a daily shuttle bus to/frm Grand Anse The food we had at the restaurant wasn't great to be honest but the cocktails were great. The Lightship had great bites and a great bar. Friday night there was a live band and singer - lovely atmosphere, great evening out. If like me you have family on the island and don't normally use hotels in Grenada, I would absolutely recommend spending a couple of nights to have a picture postcard idyllic getaway and experience Grenada in a different way away from the masses on Grand Anse. I will definitely do this again.
Tucked away in a small cove this boutique hotel lived up to our expectations. I have previously stayed at another more expensive boutique hotel on the island and I must say La Phare Bleu is better in quality. Having a full breakfast delivered daily is great instead of having to walk to the restaurant. We stayed in the apartments which had a nice open layout. The bed is extremely comfortable and AC was ice cold. My only two complaints were the WiFi dropped in and out a few times, and the unused beday caused us to request air freshener. This hotel is great for couples seeking a private getaway. Highly recommend it.
We stayed for our honeymoon and had a great experience snorkeling around the bay and kayaking around parts of the Island. The food is great and the hotel staff are very friendly and accommodating. The hotel calls a taxi for you if you have anywhere you want to go. It's a little out of town so be prepared to either have long days of spend more on taxis.
Lovely location with local food on a ship and great friendliness. If you want to explore the local cuisine and lovely spacious cabins, then that's the place of you to go. You don't even have to close the cabin with a key. It is just fantastic. Take a canoe or stand up paddle and explore the bay. It was an unforgettable short trip to Grenada.
Le Phare Blue is an absolutely delightful place for a romantic escape. It's set in a secluded cove, with beatuful gardens that are wonderfully maintained. The sense of space and privacy is rare to find. Owners Dieter and Janna take an active interest in ensuring the comfort of their guests. There is a small very private sandy beach with great swimming in very calm waters. The small marina attracts about twenty boats but the scene is very laid back and tranquil. Highly recommended for couples who want peace and quiet.
This resort is about 15 minutes away by taxi from the beaches and shopping areas. Don't drive yourself, as you will only get frustrated with lack of street signs, narrow streets, and congestion. The resort, serves as a marina, with apartments and private verandas. The rooms were spacious and well appointed. A/C is only for bedroom, but really, unless you're sleeping, why do you need it. Breakfast is delivered to your private patio in the morning at the requested time. Nice touch. The pool area was sufficient, but more loungers are needed, as both times we went to sit by the pool all 6 loungers were occupied. The resort staff were lovely and went out of their way to make you feel at home. 5/5 here. Don't come here if you are looking for a beach experience. We were not, and found the small area of beach here was sufficient for our needs. A few loungers are available at the water for those who want them. Remember, this is also a marina, so your view will also include some beautiful sail boats. My only beef with this establishment is the restaurant. The first night we arrived it was closed for a private affair. The two nights we ate here the service was extremely slow. One night they even asked us what we wanted for desert before our dinner order was placed, that's how long we waited. While the food was plentiful and of good quality, each day something else was not available from the menu. Overall, a lovely stay but be prepared to get a taxi if quality meals are a must.
4 star rating. Very good experience, nice appointed villas, well laid out so as not to be in your neighbours space
I can not even begin to describe beauty of the Le Phare Bleu Boutique Hotel and Marina. The grounds are like walking through a botanical garden, the decor and room amenities are impeccable, the food was delicious and the staff could not be more kind and accommodating. As someone who travels all over the world, staying at Le Phare Bleu was a treasured experience.
I was very disappointed and did not enjoy my stay. Fine if you don't mind being exposed to every passing guest or gardener staring into your sitting area, which could only be closed off by moving huge folding louvered doors gave a little privacy.The air-conditioned bedroom sparsely furnished was uncomfortable and impractical, two tiny bedside tables were the only furniture. so all personal items, hairdryer, books, cosmetics, lotions etc had to be placed on the floor. The wardrobe doors only opened half way, allowing limited access to two barely accessible shelves and a small hanging area with 6 plastic coat hangers, the safe inside the wardrobe was at floor level difficult to reach. Shower room was not en suite and without A/C was like a sauna. My expensive garden villa bore no resemblance to the photographs on the hotels website. A few of the staff were friendly and smiling unfortunately not the majority. Breakfast was another huge disappointment no cereals, minimal fruit, some hard boiled eggs, occasionally yoghurt, one kind of bread and a dried out Danish. Not good enough.
Le Phare Bleu provided excellent accommodation with all we needed, both for self catering and with a convenient and friendly restaurant. We found the resort very tranquil and we could relax on the villa verandah, by the pool or on seaside loungers - a great venue to unwind for a few after our week sailing trip.
Accommodations in the Villa was spectacular, but A/C was only in the Bedroom so the front room remained rather warm. Shower was nice and hot with good water pressure. Restaurant was good, but serving staff was slow despite it being not very busy. Resort was about a 15-minute drive from most tourist attractions, so a taxi for all off-site activities was necessary if one did not rent a car. Overall atmosphere was very romantic.
Le Phare Bleu is essentially a Marina resort but has a number of lovely villas set in beautiful garden with a small private beach. Our villa on beachfront with lovely views. Get to mix with yachters and local ex pats. Staff friendly. Our last weekend was Regatta week so we attended Dingy concert on water which was fantastic. Locals very friendly Grenada well worth a visit.
