Sandals La Source - Grenada

Wow I cannot express enough what an amazing place this is! I have visited many Caribbean islands and stayed in lots of different hotels including other Sandals resorts BUT this has got to be my favourite so far and will certainly take some beating! Everything from the staff and food to the setting and our room was absolutely first class and I could not find fault with anything at all.

There is wide variety of nine different restaurants to choose from including Steak house, Japanese Teppanyaki, Italian, Mediterranean, and many more. My favourite was the French restaurant where I was served the tastiest Chateaubriand I have ever had. The resort is quite small in comparison to a lot of hotels I have stayed in and this I really liked. The evenings were quiet low key with some occasional evening entertainment. It was great because all the guests were so friendly and we met some lovely people who we would share a drink with after dinner.

I looked at all the different room types whilst I was there and even what is classed as a 'standard' room are of the highest standard. If you want to splash out the sky suites come with their own private pool and butler are amazing. Apart from the hotel being amazing, the other factor that made this holiday one to remember was instead of doing the usual excursions that you might normally do on holiday we hired a car for the day and it was fab. The island is perfectly safe to do this and the local people are really lovely. We drove around the whole island and also up into the rainforest where we were lucky enough to see the endangered Mona monkeys.

As our flights were via Miami we ended this fabulous holiday with a further three days driving down the Florida Keys which was another amazing experience. I have a separate blog on this part of the trip if you would like to read more about this.
