Choosing Between Sandals Saint Vincent and Sandals Grenada
If you’re trying to decide between Sandals Saint Vincent and Sandals Grenada for your honeymoon, you’re already down to two of the Caribbean’s most spectacular adults-only resorts.
While both offer luxurious accommodations, gourmet dining, beautiful beaches, and all of the signature Sandals inclusions, they deliver very different experiences. One is surrounded by lush mountains and feels wonderfully secluded, while the other is known for its crystal-clear water, incredible snorkeling, and intimate atmosphere.
I can confidently say there’s no wrong choice—but there may be one that’s a better fit for the honeymoon you’re dreaming about.
In this comparison, I’ll break down the biggest differences between Sandals Saint Vincent and Sandals Grenada, including the beaches, accommodations, dining, activities, and overall atmosphere, to help you decide which resort is right for you.
THE PINK PALM RESORT QUIZ
WHICH SANDALS OR BEACHES RESORT IS PERFECT FOR YOU?
Answer a few simple questions to discover which Sandals or Beaches resort suits your travel style.
The Beach
This is where the two resorts feel completely different.
Sandals Saint Vincent
Sandals Saint Vincent is home to a long crescent-shaped beach framed by lush green mountains. The water is typically calm, making it ideal for swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, and leisurely walks along the shore. Because the resort is tucked away in its own secluded cove, the beach rarely feels crowded, creating a peaceful atmosphere that’s perfect for honeymooners.
Sandals Grenada
Sandals Grenada sits on the famous Pink Gin Beach, where you’ll find crystal-clear turquoise water and some of the best snorkeling directly from shore. While the beach is smaller than Saint Vincent’s, the scenery is spectacular and the water is incredibly inviting.
If your priority is long beach walks and a secluded setting, Saint Vincent has the edge. If snorkeling and vibrant turquoise water are at the top of your list, Grenada is hard to beat.
Resort Atmosphere
Although both resorts are luxurious, they have very different personalities.
Sandals Saint Vincent feels spacious and tranquil. The resort has an uncrowded feel, with expansive grounds, tropical gardens, and breathtaking mountain views that create a true escape from everyday life.
Sandals Grenada is more intimate and compact. Everything is within easy walking distance, and the atmosphere is a little livelier while still maintaining a romantic feel.
Which Is More Romantic?
Both resorts are fantastic honeymoon destinations, but they appeal to different couples.
Choose Sandals Saint Vincent if you picture your honeymoon filled with quiet mornings, peaceful beach walks, stunning natural scenery, and a slower pace.
Choose Sandals Grenada if you imagine romantic sunsets, incredible ocean views, beautiful pools, and a resort with a slightly more energetic atmosphere.
Rooms
Sandals Saint Vincent features some of Sandals’ newest and most luxurious accommodations, including stunning overwater villas, private pool villas, elegant Butler Suites, and contemporary island-inspired décor.
Sandals Grenada is famous for its unique room categories, including the iconic SkyPool Suites, romantic Rondoval Villas, infinity-edge plunge pools, and beautifully designed indoor-outdoor living spaces.
Both resorts offer exceptional accommodations, so your choice will likely come down to which room style best matches your honeymoon vision.
Dining
Food is a highlight at both resorts.
Sandals Saint Vincent introduces several newer restaurant concepts in beautifully designed dining spaces, while Sandals Grenada has long been considered one of Sandals’ strongest culinary resorts with an excellent variety of restaurants.
It’s difficult to declare a clear winner here—both deliver outstanding dining experiences.
Activities
If you’re looking for adventure beyond the resort, Sandals Saint Vincent offers access to waterfalls, hiking trails, catamaran cruises, paddleboarding, kayaking, and opportunities to explore charming local villages.
Sandals Grenada is especially appealing for couples who love snorkeling, scuba diving, relaxing on the beach, and taking shorter island excursions.
Which Resort Is Easier to Reach?
This category goes to Sandals Grenada.
The resort is located just minutes from the airport, allowing you to begin your honeymoon almost immediately after landing.
Sandals Saint Vincent requires a longer scenic transfer, but many couples enjoy the beautiful drive through the island as part of the overall experience.
My Recommendation
If I were helping most honeymoon couples choose between these two incredible resorts, I’d usually recommend Sandals Saint Vincent.
Its combination of dramatic mountain scenery, peaceful beachfront setting, spacious design, exceptional dining, and luxurious accommodations creates an unforgettable honeymoon experience.
That said, Sandals Grenada remains one of my favourite Sandals resorts. If snorkeling is a priority, you prefer a shorter airport transfer, or you’ve always dreamed of staying in one of Sandals’ famous SkyPool Suites, it’s an outstanding choice.
There isn’t a wrong decision here—only the resort that best matches your vision of the perfect honeymoon.
