Calabash Hotel Reviews

From the moment we arrived and we were greeted by the fabulous Reagan to the minute we left nothing was too much trouble for all the amazing members of staff at Calabash, they really make you feel welcome and the level of service from everyone is second to none. There is a real air of calm at this hotel, the gardens are pristine and the beach is so peaceful, on the couple of days we did venture out we were always happy to return to the calm surroundings. We stayed on a half board basis and really could not have eaten anymore if we had wanted too, the breakfast on our patio everyday was a real treat and the evening meals at Rhodes were always beautifully presented and delicious. Our room was modern and had everything you could possibly want in it, there really is so much attention to detail and thoughtful items in the rooms, and was always kept spotless. We have been lucky enough to visit alot of Caribbean Islands and stayed in many hotels and have never returned anywhere as we like to try different places but here is somewhere we have seriously already discussed returning to. Thank you to all the Calabash team !

One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in. Wonderful staff, good food, decent drinks selection in the all-inclusive package, well-appointed suites with big rooms, excellent aircon, huge bathroom with very good shower. The owner himself actually pitches up at the weekly cocktail party, so you have a perfect opportunity to let him know of any issues (we didn’t have any). Non-powered water sports are included, and there’s good availability of a wide range of kit. Decent mini-bar, again all included, canapés brought to the room every evening. You can have breakfast on your verandah if you so choose. We had the best time, and are genuinely planning to return. It really is that good.

One of the best hotels we have ever stayed at. Within an hour of arriving and having Afternoon Tea we felt at home and relaxed. All the staff were so welcoming and friendly. We enjoyed a delightful breakfast on our balcony one morning but loved dining right on the beach in the mornings. Best French Toast eve !! We could not fault any of the meals we had. Dinner in Rhodes was a highlight for us and loved the Lion Fish on the menu. We felt the upgrade to half board was a good decision. The Suite we had was very spacious and had everything you could ask for. The clothes steamer was a great idea as who wants to iron on holiday. There were so many attentive staff such as Alex, Michael, Stephens, Hannah.. the list goes on. The Garbutt family really do an amazing job and I will certainly be recommending this hotel to family and friends.

There are some rare places that really get it when it comes to luxury and Calabash certainly does. We stayed four nights and would have been very happy to stay longer. About a dozen or more two story villas and larger family ones are set in a beautiful, lush garden by a bay. We had a ground floor unit with a nice front patio with easy chairs, and a table with chairs for dining. The good size living room had a very comfy sofa and an easy chair with a very contemporary light wood cupboard for the fridge, coffee maker, long desk, etc. and a TV. There was a bottle of rum punch and they did not skimp on the rum, plus a jar with delicious cookies that were perfect for dunking in our morning coffee. The bedroom, also a decent size, had a really comfy bed and tons and tons of cupboard and drawer space, and another TV. On each bedside table was a multi point charging plug. The bathroom was huge with double sinks and a large shower area. There were waffle bath robes and lots of thick towels. A sliding door opened from the bedroom onto a totally private back patio with a good size plunge pool, outdoor bathtub and shower, two chaise lounges and a table with chairs for private dining. Whoever designed and furnished this place did a perfect job and they did not skimp on the quality of the furniture and fixtures. Also the air conditioning works really well. Breakfast can be in your villa but we always went to the pool restaurant where the staff and food were wonderful. We had dinner all four nights in the main restaurant but there is also a Japanese Fusion one. There are daily dinner specials and lots and lots of choices to satisfy any taste. Absolutely everything, amuse bouches, appetizers, mains and desserts were delicious - no fabulous. One night I had the absolute best duck I’ve ever had. The wine list is comprehensive enough and very fairly priced. Here too the staff are wonderful, the service efficient but not rushed, and they interact with you depending on your own personality. Wait staff can make or break any meal and here they definitely make it.

It is almost exactly 10 years since we last stayed at the Calabash. It has benefited from an extensive refurbishment since then. Set in beautiful surroundings you are stepping up to another level of definitive hospitality with a stay at this hotel. The staff are without exception friendly and welcoming, ensuring you have a wonderful stay. There is a beautiful beach, swimming pool and restaurants as well as spa and gym - all exquisitely maintained. Attention to the detail is taken care of for every aspect of your stay. The rooms are very well appointed and the gardens beautifully maintained. The food has been exceptionally good. Complete and fully luxurious stay for us - what a way to celebrate our silver wedding anniversary.

The Calabash Luxury Boutique Hotel against the backdrop of beautiful Grenada with its stunning beaches, lush hills and vibrant culture is truly a unique spot! The Calabash Hotel is the epitome of quaint and simple elegance- with its beach views and direct beach access, impeccable and well-appointed rooms, outstanding cuisine, relaxing spa, and stunning infinity pool. Thank you to the entire staff who deliver such an incredible, amazing, and unique experience!! Special thanks to Stevens the Guest Experience Manager as well!!

My wife and I spent a week at the Calabash. This Relais & Chateaux gem cannot be missed. It has what one would expect from a luxury resort but what really sets it apart are the wonderful staff. I have traveled extensively in the Caribbean and often refer to the “Caribbean cool” that we often feel from locals and employees. That is, they often seem to not be truly invested in the service industry, and they often present a lackluster attitude. Not so at the Calabash. Every single staff member was invested in insuring that my wife and I truly enjoyed our experience at the hotel. Highly recommended. If you’re visiting Grenada this is the place to stay.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to the owners and staff of this stunning resort for opening up at the last minute, rooms for us due to our Sunwing flight being cancelled due to a mechanical issue. Not only did they go out of the way to give us a comfortable place to stay...upon arrival there was a full fridge and food waiting in the room! The next morning a wonderful ocean side breakfast fit for royalty! You made what was a long frustrating evening into a fairly tail ending.

We loved staying at the Calabash Hotel for many reasons, the most important being the family atmosphere of the property. The Garbutt family is on premises on a daily basis and you can feel the difference right away. From the moment we arrived, we experienced warm, personal service starting with Regan and Stevens. The rooms, #31 and #21 were both stylish, with terrific bathrooms and outdoor sitting area. We loved the food at all three restaurants. The Spa was also terrific. Can’t say enough great things about this property.

Knowing we were going to a Relais & Chateau hotel, we were looking forward to luxury and that is exactly what we enjoyed at Calabash. It is a small (30 units) family owned and managed hotel with the family in evidence. I am somewhat disabled. However, the hotel is mainly on the level and it was no problem to me. The rooms are comfortable and well furnished. The catering is as you would expect from a 5* hotel. However, most important of all the staff are really friendly and obviously happy to work at Calabash. Any help needed is never too much trouble. It is a peaceful hotel and the beach under the shade of the trees is delightful. There is seaweed growing in the sea, which the hotel do try to control. It is not offensive but you may prefer to wear sand shoes. There is occasional aircraft noise, as the hotel is about 10 minutes from the airport. Would we return? Yes ... we certainly hope to do so.

What a wonderful antidote to the troubles elsewhere. This family owned and managed boutique hotel maintains a standard of luxury and service second to none. The large beautiful gardens, wonderful views over the bay, the luxurious rooms, the quality of the three restaurants, and the exceptional service from all the staff made our recent holiday one of the best ever. We thank the Calabash team.

First time visitors to Grenada. We chose Calabash for its boutique size. The accommodations were beautiful. It was upscale, but felt like it belonged and blended in with the beautiful nature around us. We mostly ate at Calabash for all our meals. The food was excellent and there was new menu options each evening. Hats off to Chef Ramces.! try the new Japanese fusion restaurant. The food was amazing! The entire team from the front desk, to the servers, to the housekeeping were professional, friendly, helpful, and made you feel at home. We rented a car and did day trips around the island to get a feel for the island of Grenada . The beach at Calabash is quiet, and the service is top-notch, but there are other beautiful beaches to explore close by such as Magazine Beach, and Grand Anse beach. Visiting St. George’s, walking around the harbour and shopping in the spice market, gives a good impression of the pulse of the island. The front desk was helpful with supplying towels, bug spray, and even a cooler bag for our days exploring. Spending time on the balcony at night, listening to the tree frogs was a favourite thing to do. When we return to Grenada, we will definitely stay at Calabash again.

Another delightful stay at the beautiful Calabash Hotel on Grenada! We first went to Grenada for its fabulous scenery but we return year after year for the wonderful people, and this is what brings us back to the Calabash. A very warm welcome on arrival and then a delightful stay with the most charming and caring staff imaginable. Every day brings the pleasure of being back amongst friends who do everything possible to make your stay memorable. Set on a lovely white sand beach and in beautiful gardens with cool, spacious all-suite accommodation, Calabash is the number one hotel for us in Grenada. Till the next time, friends!

Without question one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in , fabulous location and an exceptional level of service from the staff , impossible to speak too highly of them in their entirety . Special mention also to Ryan who looked after us on the island tour , ensuring we saw and enjoyed exactly what we wanted and was hugely informative on the history of Grenada . Cannot recommend this hotel too highly .
