I'm not sure where to start, as my trip has been the most amazing restful experience. Originally I was due to visit in 2023 & the hotel team understood my predicament, facilitating my visit in 2024. That did not quite work out either, due to ongoing commitments, yet I finally arrived this month. Every member of the team made me feel most welcome, and for that I say 'thank you' to all of you. My room, room 8 was spacious, comfortable and 'just perfect'. Visiting a fortnight before Christmas / Chanukah meant the hotel was not busy. I felt undisturbed on the beach, and managed to read 4 books in 5 days which is so unlike me. Kareem, Betty Ann, Abigail, Dennis, Michael, George, Elle, Danique, Racquel .. I look forward to my return. Thank you ALL, for caring for me .. it's appreciated. Read less

Going to the Calabash is like coming home. It is absolutely the most remarkable place. You are treated as if you were the most consequential guest. Your preferences are remembered on repeat visits. The rooms are wonderful, the food is great, the staff is fantastic, the beach is lovely. The accolades are never ending and well deserved. Grenada is a beautiful island and the Calabash family works hard to make your visit especially lovely. The spa was also enjoyed by our group. Leaving the hotel, various members of our group took a cooking class at Home Hospitality which was great fun; some went on a rainforest hike and visited Crater Lake and the monkeys, and of course there had to be a snorkeling visit to Flamingo Bay and the underwater sculpture garden (which is better seen by diving), and a tour of the chocolate museum. All of this was arranged by the Calabash staff. We can't wait to return!! Read less

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Calabash Hotel in Grenada! The hotel is beautiful, peaceful, and set in such lovely surroundings. Our room was tastefully decorated with an elegant, luxurious feel — comfortable and well-appointed with every detail carefully thought out. We had the added bonus of a private plunge pool, which made our stay even more special. It would be perfect for a romantic getaway! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the warmest, kindest people — every single person we encountered made us feel at home. The food was a highlight of our stay, especially our dinner at the Japanese restaurant, Nori, where the dishes were absolutely delicious. We also had breakfast delivered to our veranda, and it was a perfect way to start the day — everything I ate was fresh, flavorful, and delightful. The Calabash truly offers an exceptional experience, and we can’t wait to return! Read less
