Traveler Insights(189 discussions)

Petite Anse is Grenada's best-kept secret, which is both its biggest draw and its primary limitation. Perched on the island's wild north coast with views reaching across to the Grenadine islands, it is the kind of place that does not belong in the pages of a resort brochure - it belongs in a travel memoir. Thirteen cottages, two honeymoon suites, an organic garden restaurant, a private beach, and a team of locally hired staff who have been there long enough to know guests by name. The food is the experience that makes guests loyal: sourced from the hotel's own garden, nearby farms, and the daily catch, it reflects what Grenada actually tastes like rather than a sanitized international hotel version of it.

The honest version of this property's practical reality is modest, but not as bare as some traveler chatter suggests: there is an on-site saltwater pool with a jacuzzi and a poolside bar, plus spa treatments and gardens - what's missing is a gym, a full spa complex, and any organized activity program. The north coast beach, while private and beautiful, faces Atlantic swells that make it rougher than Grand Anse on calm days, which makes the pool a genuinely useful fallback. The cottages are charming but some show wear, and guests who arrive expecting luxury room furnishings for boutique prices occasionally feel the gap. What is not modest is the natural setting, the restaurant, the turtle nesting experience from March through July, and the sense that you are somewhere that has not been smoothed into a global hospitality formula. Getting here requires a 45-minute drive from the airport and either a rental car or relying on taxis.


Petite Anse is best suited for travelers who have done the Grand Anse beach-strip hotels and want to see the real Grenada - independent adults, nature lovers, and couples who want stillness and connection to place rather than animation and amenities. It sits in a category of small Caribbean inns that value authenticity over amenities, alongside places like Fond Doux Eco Resort and Maca Bana. Guests who choose it knowing what it is tend to rank it among the most memorable Caribbean stays of their lives. Guests who arrive expecting a full-service boutique resort tend to feel it falls short.

Pros

  • +Sweeping panoramic views of the Grenadine islands from hillside cottages and the restaurant terrace that guests describe as among the most beautiful in the Caribbean
  • +Restaurant kitchen sources produce from its own organic garden and nearby farms, and the locally crafted dishes - from chicken roti to handmade coconut ice cream - consistently earn the highest guest praise of any aspect of the property
  • +Just 11 oceanview cottages and two honeymoon suites means genuinely personal service and attention that large resort properties structurally cannot deliver
  • +The Grenada north coast beach below the hotel is peaceful and uncrowded - you are not sharing it with a hundred other resort guests
  • +Leatherback sea turtle nesting on the beach near the property from March through July makes it one of the few hotels in the Caribbean where guests can witness this phenomenon close to their room
  • +Strong commitment to sustainability including solar water heating, organic garden, local hiring, and support for neighboring farms creates a resort that feels genuinely connected to Grenada rather than imported onto it
  • +On-site saltwater swimming pool with a jacuzzi and poolside bar - a genuine midday option when the north-coast sea is too choppy for a comfortable swim
  • +The north coast setting near Sauteurs village gives guests authentic access to Grenadian daily life that Grand Anse beach-strip hotels completely isolate guests from

Cons

  • Extremely remote location on the north coast, about a 45-minute drive from the Grenada airport and Grand Anse - getting here and getting around requires a car or taxi coordination
  • Amenities are still lean by resort standards - beach, restaurant, saltwater pool with jacuzzi, poolside bar, gardens, and spa treatments, but no gym, full spa complex, or organized activity program
  • Some guests feel the room rates do not align with the level of room furnishing - cottages are charming but beds and decor have received criticism for not matching the price point
  • The on-site restaurant is the only realistic dinner option most evenings unless you arrange a driver into Sauteurs or elsewhere on the north coast
  • The beach is on the north coast where Atlantic swells can make the water rougher than the calm Caribbean-facing beaches of Grand Anse or Magazine Beach
  • Week-long stays mean menu repetition at the single restaurant - most guests plan a night or two out to mix things up
  • The property's boutique scale means it can be fully booked months in advance, and last-minute availability is rare during peak season
  • Insect presence, including mosquitoes in the evenings, is part of the open tropical environment and requires proactive repellent use

Common Questions

How do you get to Petite Anse from the Grenada airport, and do you need a car?
The airport at Point Salines is on Grenada's southern tip, and Petite Anse is on the north coast near Sauteurs - about a 45-minute drive. The hotel can arrange airport transfers, and booking one in advance is strongly recommended. Without a rental car or arranged transfers, you are dependent on taxis for any off-property movement. If you plan to explore the island, a rental car gives you genuine freedom and is worth the added cost given the property's remote location.
Does Petite Anse have a pool?
Yes - despite what some older traveler chatter claims, the hotel has an on-site saltwater swimming pool with a jacuzzi and a poolside bar. It's a genuinely useful feature here because the north coast beach faces Atlantic swells that can make ocean swimming uncomfortable on choppier days. What the property does not have is a full spa complex, gym, or organized activity program - the amenity list is intentionally short.
Is the on-site restaurant good enough to eat there every night for a week?
The restaurant is excellent - it genuinely earns its praise and the locally sourced food philosophy is real, not marketing. For stays of three to four nights, it is more than sufficient and guests leave satisfied. For a week-long stay, the menu variety becomes limited and most guests recommend arranging a driver for one or two evenings to eat at local restaurants in Sauteurs or at other north coast spots. The hotel team can suggest and help arrange transport for evening outings.
What is the sea turtle nesting experience actually like?
Leatherback sea turtles nest on the beach near Petite Anse from approximately March through July. The nesting events typically happen at night, and the hotel coordinates with local conservation efforts to allow guests to witness them in a responsible, low-impact way. It is not guaranteed on any given night, but guests who time their visit during nesting season and ask the staff about current activity often get to see a nesting turtle. It is one of the most emotionally powerful wildlife experiences available at any Caribbean hotel.
Is the beach good for swimming, or is the north coast water too rough?
The beach is beautiful and private, but it faces north toward the Atlantic rather than the calm Caribbean side. Swell conditions vary - there are frequently calm mornings and early afternoons when swimming is pleasant, and days when the chop makes swimming uncomfortable. On rougher days the saltwater pool and jacuzzi are the fallback. Guests who care about calm swimming waters should be aware of this and consider timing beach visits for morning hours. The view from the beach, with the Grenadines on the horizon, is extraordinary regardless of swimming conditions.
Is Petite Anse a good honeymoon option?
It depends entirely on the couple. Honeymooners who want a true escape from everything, remarkable sunsets, excellent locally sourced dinners, and a feeling of being somewhere genuinely undiscovered will love it. The two honeymoon suites are the property's best rooms with the strongest views. Couples who want a full resort spa, organized excursions, and nightly entertainment will find it too sparse - though there is a saltwater pool and jacuzzi on site. It is one of the most romantic settings in Grenada if your definition of romance is intimacy and natural beauty rather than resort amenities.

Wow! This lovely hotel is a real find! Placed on the less explored, rugged northern tip of the island, all the rooms look out over the sea to Cariacou. The food is good and the restaurant is popular so sometimes gets very busy, however the rooms...
