Summary of Sandals LaSource Grenada
It’s easy not to be a millionaire. Most of us aren’t. However, you can vacation like one at the Sandals LaSource all-inclusive resort in Grenada. The resort booklet claims a luxurious experience, and it lives up to the promise.
Opened in April 2014, this stunning all-inclusive resort is well-appointed and ideally located close to Maurice Bishop International Airport on the island’s southwestern corner. Sandals, which also operates Beaches Resorts, provides an upscale experience without a millionaire price tag.
Rooms and Accommodations
Sandals LaSource boasts 231 rooms, but its spread across three villages prevents a crowded atmosphere. Pink Gin Village offers two blocks of rooms in an area with historical significance prior to Sandals’ renovation. The Italian Village overlooks the resort from a cliff, complemented by two other villages, Lover’s Hideaway and South Seas.
The accommodations in South Seas Village are particularly luxurious, featuring a conical structure with a thatched roof, a high-definition TV, a king bed, and a lavish soaking tub nestled among smooth river rocks. Each suite includes a private plunge pool and hot tub, illuminated at night by changing colors, along with dedicated butler service for added convenience.
Moreover, guests enjoy a fully stocked bar with top-shelf drinks including Appleton rum, Tanqueray Gin, and Johnnie Walker Black, available 24/7 for your enjoyment.
Though the rooms are enchanting, the Caribbean sunshine is a major attraction. The beach, while spacious, features gritty black volcanic sand with shells and coral. However, ample loungers and umbrellas are available, along with two protective walls creating calm swimming inlets. A delightful spot for sunset views includes hanging scoop chairs on one wall.
Restaurants and Dining
The resort enhances its spacious feel with nine diverse restaurants, including the signature eatery Butch’s Chophouse, named after Sandals’ founder. Here, guests can savor grain-fed Midwestern beef. Additionally, Soy, a sushi bar, offers a friendly atmosphere and generous servings of warm sake.
For Italian cuisine lovers, Cucina Romana serves authentic dishes, including gluten-free pasta options infused with the essence of traditional Italian cooking. Another good option is Spices, especially popular during breakfast, featuring Grenada’s native spices such as nutmeg, mace, and cinnamon, adding a unique twist to classic American dishes.
Neptune’s, with its beachside setting and Mediterranean menu, is the prime location for lunch, showcasing a selection of seafood and some of the finest jerk chicken on the island.
Activities and Amenities
For those preferring to relax by the pool, five options are available, including a beachfront pool with a stone lounge and fire pit that extends into the water, ideal for socializing. Numerous additional fire pits are scattered throughout the resort for cozy evenings.
The Red Lane Spa offers rejuvenating massage services for a complete relaxation experience.
Sandals is renowned for its “luxury-included amenities,” which at LaSource encompasses glass-bottom boat rides, a fitness center, paddle boarding, sailing, snorkeling, and scuba diving for certified adventurers.
Guests can also partake in lively entertainment with themed parties, beach bonfires, live music, and dancing. Overall, while you may not need to be wealthy to vacation like royalty, Sandals LaSource ensures you feel like a million bucks throughout your stay.
