Grenadine House

I highly recommend The Grenadine House for its old-world, vintage travel charm. Staying here feels like stepping back into the golden era of travel — not only in ambiance, but in the graciousness of the staff. I had the pleasure of staying twice last month. During our first visit as a couple, we arrived to find a belated anniversary message beautifully arranged on our duvet in fresh bougainvillea, hibiscus, and palm fronds. We were completely blown away by the care and thoughtfulness. The colonial West Indies charm is felt throughout the house — plantation wicker furnishings, nostalgic fabrics, and a true vintage travel aesthetic. Our room was located just across from reception, so I was initially concerned about noise. Happily, it was quiet and peaceful. The covered balcony offered privacy, shade, and protection from the rain, with lovely views over the courtyard, Kingstown, and the bustling port beyond. There is also an elevated viewing patio exclusively for hotel guests — an ideal spot to watch the sunset as ships light up and disappear into the horizon while sipping the welcome rum punch. Dinner is served in a lovely stone-encased dining room with romantic corner tables and air conditioning. The cocktail seating area is particularly charming, featuring vintage movie star photographs and an antique wooden bar as its centerpiece. Dining overall is relaxed and unassuming, whether on the covered patio or in the courtyard. The menu offers fresh seafood, island-style local dishes, and tropical cocktails. The complimentary breakfast is light and healthy, with optional add-ons for heartier fare. For coffee enthusiasts, I recommend requesting an espresso or cappuccino. Tea is more traditional in this part of the hemisphere, and coffee tends to be mild or instant — embracing the local rhythm is part of the experience. One of the hotel’s bonuses is its location — within a 10-minute walk of the historic St. Vincent Botanical Gardens, the oldest botanical garden in the Western Hemisphere. Morning visits are best, when temperatures are cooler. The gardens are pleasantly diverse for their size, and you’ll gain much more from the experience by hiring a local guide — just $6 USD for an hour. Some trees date back to the era of Bligh and Cook, and the aviary offers a chance to observe the beautiful St. Vincent parrots. The pool area is nicely secluded, with a spa adjacent. My husband enjoyed a last-minute massage they graciously arranged just before closing. One small note: be sure to ask at check-in if any poolside events are scheduled. During one afternoon of our stay, a children’s party disrupted the otherwise tranquil atmosphere. For couples and business travelers seeking respite, this may be something to consider. Hopefully, the property will consider keeping the pool area more consistently serene. On my return visit as a solo traveler, the staff welcomed me back as though I were already a regular. That warmth speaks volumes. Job well done.

Perfect for a brief stay in Kingstown. Rooms well appointed and colonial in style. Balcony had great views however the garden next to the hotel had fires lit a couple of times which stopped us sitting outside. Breakfast was simple (oatmeal, fruit, breadbasket) but well made. Staff were friendly and helpful. Pool was quiet and doesn’t seem to be used by many guests at all.

Our flight was cancelled and we were rebooked 6 days later. Sandals didn’t have room for us so we found the Grenadine House. The hotel staff is fabulous, friendly and so very helpful. They provided wonderful accommodations, food and recommendations for us to enjoy our remaining days. They made arrangements for taxis and guided us to great beaches on St. Vincent and Bequai. Explained how to take the ferry and arranged a taxi for us on Bequai. We really enjoyed this last week and unexpected extended stay because of the wonderful staff at the Grenadine House.

We spent a few nights here on honeymoon. A beautiful guest house, with style, great staff and easy access to everything you could want. Our room was spectacular, with well planned decor in keeping with the style of the property. The bed was so comfortable, lovely crisp white sheets and everything you could ask for. An outstanding touch is the provision of mosquito repellent in the room, which many people may need when out and about and in order to full enjoy the beautiful views in the evening. So thoughtful! I was particularly delighted to see that the staff had dressed it with beautiful local flowers to mark our event! Rooms have great aircon, but we didn't need overnight as building is well designed for local temperatures. Views are stunning. The pool area a real oasis with some shade available in heat of day. The restaurant and food were good and the seating area lovely. Don't expect fast service (but why would you in such a beautiful place, it is the Caribbean!) but you will get a smile and any minor issues are resolved quickly. Staff were excellent across the board. Cocktails excellent amd seafood pasta exceptional.

Myself, my husband and two small children have just (sadly!) returned home after a lovely trip to SVG. We started the trip with 2 nights at Grenadine House, the transfer to the hotel was seamless with a friendly pick up at the airport from Grant in a spacious taxi, who helped us with our extensive luggage! It was a long flight, so it was lovely to be welcomed by the GM, Isola and the team, with some cool flannels and cold drinks. The accommodation was a two bedroom suite, with ample space for us all with air con throughout - perfect for families. The hotel is heritage style with plenty of rustic charm and great views from the roof terrace. The food was a highlight – highly recommend the French toast and delicious banana bread at breakfast and the dinner menu was good value and generous portions. All the team we encountered were kind and helpful and although we got the impression it is more typically a hotel for couples, they made my children feel very welcome. There is a swimming pool which was great to cool off and my elder daughter used every day. We travelled onto the sister hotel Bequia Beach Hotel via express ferry and would highly recommend this for a luxury beach break. Thank you Grenadine House for such a great start to our holiday in SVG!

I was very impressed with the hotel after I had contacted them from the UK to arrange my wife's birthday dinner. From the very start their communication was prompt and when we arrived on the island, I arranged a meeting with Isola who was excellent at dealing with my many questions. She organised the menu and decorations and was there on the night to ensure everything ran smoothly. Our waitresses on the night were also very good, chatting to the guests and insisted on taking lots of photos for us. Particular praise goes to Aisha (excuse the spelling) who was lovely. Everyone and, most importantly, the birthday girl had a very enjoyable evening. Well Done!

The staff were very friendly and the hotel and gardens were well maintained. They did not hesitate to solve any minor issues that arose. They did this with pleasure. You can tell when someone loves their job. My wife and I as well as a friend stayed there, and we all came to the conclusion that we would come back. The decor was well curated and has a Colonial Caribbean feel with lots of historical relics and nautical information on the walls. People from all over the world were there. We sat at the pool at 10pm with our feet in the water. It was so warm and relaxing. The food was amazing and the view overlooking the town below, backed by the Grenadine Islands on the horizon is worth 1000 words. A friend of ours may be getting married there later this year. It is extremely likely that we will be flying back for another stay. You guys are amazing.

My husband, a friend, and I stayed there for one week. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. They went above and beyond to make us comfortable. The rooms and grounds were clean, the food was good, and the view of Kingstown was spectacular. I highly recommend this hotel and would stay there again. I must mention Keisha who worked in the restaurant, her delightful personality was captivating.

The Grenadine House is in a historic building in Kingstown just up the hill from the main street. Very comfortable with nice decor reminding you that you’re in the Caribbean. They set me up with Grant who gave me a great tour up each side of the island over two days. I was able to visit La Soufriere volcano, Black Point Tunnel, and the POC film sites. The GH had nice food and a bar. They included breakfast but should have made the Vincy breakfast a free option as the salt fish was delicious!
