Royalton Grenada vs Calabash Hotel – At a Glance

Category Royalton Grenada Calabash Hotel
Overall Vibe Modern all-ages all-inclusive resort with a bigger beach-resort feel, family facilities, pools, bars, and included dining and activities. Quiet luxury boutique hotel with a more intimate atmosphere, refined service style, and a slower, more private pace.
Location On two white-sand beaches in Tamarind Bay at Magazine Beach Point Salines, St. George’s, close to Maurice Bishop International Airport. In Grenada, with a more secluded boutique-hotel setting that suits travelers looking for calm rather than resort scale.
