Petite Anse Hotel

We throughly enjoyed our five night stay at this gem of a place, North Grenada in the parish of St Patrick. Petite Anse has a delightful rustic charm, which some say is outdated. I suggest it’s very intentional. It is also very popular with the locals which is always a good sign. It was truly the most relaxed my husband and I have ever been. The simplicity of it all, no TV just sitting on our veranda watching the palm trees blowing in the breeze and listening to the waves of the ocean. We also made the most of the delightful pool overlooking the beach. Stunning. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. The housekeeping was exceptional. On the day laundry service and the rooms smelt so fresh and clean everyday. It was immaculate. The food was good, BBQ on Sunday was a bit pricy if I’m being honest. I must recommend the chicken roti, this was truly delicious. In particular I wanted to do a shoutout to Melvin. The Alchemist/Barman who made the most beautiful and delicious cocktails. We have travelled far and wide and these were as good if not better than any we have had elsewhere. Throughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend to anyone who wanted a truly authentic Grenadian experience in and amongst the beauty and lushness. We highly recommend the tour of the island which we did with Leon, the visit to Rivers distillery which is like stepping back in time 400 years and the trip to sandy island, which is more beautiful than the Carriacou sandy island, in our opinion. See pictures! We had the island to ourselves and you can catch a lobster and the fisherman who brings you over will cook it for you. The staff at Petite Anse also prepares a picnic for you and includes fresh fish to be cooked. Truly paradise.

Amazing place. Love this property. Each cabin is very private with good space. Bed seems more full size than Queen but I love place and the nature like state of the property overlooking a beach. Water wss too rough to swim but it’s a great place to be. Friendly and helpful staff. Very kind and courteous with great customer care quality.

Amazing four night stay! We really enjoyed our stay at Petit Anse!!! We enjoyed all of our meals and drinks. We didn’t use the pool very much as we felt comfortable in the sea. The check-in was fast, efficient, and pleasant. Our cottage seemingly came with its own kitty cat. Tommy stayed with us for our entire stay which was by choice. Best outdoor cat ever! Thanks to all the staff - everyone was friendly!!! Thanks Chef for putting up with my food allergies and keeping me full and happy.

This was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. I booked a beachfront hotel room and all I got was the view of another cottage in front of me. We had to bring our bags down to the room ourselves and we are close to 60 years old. The person that showed us the room could barely open it because it had a key on A large piece of wood like you would get if you were going to a bathroom at a 7-Eleven back in the 70s. The room is sparse and the bathroom is dated. There is no air conditioning in the bathroom. While I was Calling ******* to rebook sitting at the desk in the room, I was bitten by several ants and found out they were a Calling ******* to rebook sitting at the desk in the room, I was bitten by several ants and found out there were ants all over our room . The food was mediocre and it was so hot in the dining room that I felt nauseated trying to even eat a bowl of soup. The drive to the place is treacherous, and you have to navigate goats, chickens, cats, and people who do not know how to drive. When I was rebooked at another hotel, the owner did not even try and do anything to try and make her stay better. He charged me for $400 for the one night. I stayed because it was too dark to drive on the horrible roads back closer to the airport I would avoid this hotel at all costs .

If you want rest and relaxation, then the modest extra effort to travel to the less developed north of the island is well worth it. There isn’t a lot around Petite Anse other than lush greenery and peace and quiet, but that was what we wanted. The hotel is small and set on a hillside overlooking a cove with a beach that is almost private given the rocks that jut out at either end. The views from the bar/restaurant terrace are spectacular, looking out to Carriacou and Petite Martinique. We alternated between the mostly deserted beach and the small pool by the bar most days. You don’t have to just sit by the pool though, the hotel runs a number of tours (thank you to Leon) including one to the deserted Sandy Island which was super pretty. ( it is worth noting that there was a fair bit of litter there that had built up from previous visitors that somewhat detracted, but when we spoke to Philip the hotel owner about this, he said they would organise a clean up visit) There is also a fun Sunday morning walk that finishes in a local bar and then back to the hotel for a bbq, which was the food highlight of the week. Our beachfront room was called Cocoa and had direct views from our bed to the beach, which was a great way to start the day. We were adopted during our stay by Tommy the hotel cat, and we would gladly have smuggled him back home with us if we could. He benefitted more from the milk that was left daily in our fridge for our tea and coffee than we did. The staff were friendly and keen to help and the atmosphere was super relaxed and personable. It was nice to see lots of locals frequenting the bar and restaurant which made the hotel feel more Grenadian and authentic than other places we stayed. This isn’t an anodyne resort, it has its quirks and issues, but that is part of its charm. For example our shower refused to deliver any hot water during our stay and the food was pretty basic, although i think the main chef was on holiday when we were there. Thankfully it didn’t have evening “entertainment”, if you discount the firefly’s lighting up the trees by the terrace or the frog chorus vying with the sound of the waves rolling up the beach.
