“A great find!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 November 2011

Although I´ve travelled to many islands in the Caribbean this was my first visit to Carriacou – and I loved it. It´s incredibly laid back and relaxed and the people are really lovely. I spent 4 days on the island and stayed at the Green Roof Inn - and I reckon I made a very good choice. The location is beautiful – perched on the cliff side a mere 10 minute walk from Hillsborough and with stunning views over the bay. And Jonas, the owner, and his staff were very friendly and helpful, and always there if you needed information or assistance with anything.

My room was very clean and simply furnished with an en-suite shower room and had a lovely little terrace area with table and chairs and a view over the garden to the ocean. There was also a great outdoor reception area with hammocks and lovely comfy chairs where you could read or just chill.

The restaurant upstairs had an absolutely stunning view which certainly complemented the food. The young chef really did produce some exceptional dishes which were cooked to perfection and definitely worthy of a good few stars! The care in the preparation and presentation was second to none and I was extremely impressed with her skills.

Just on the outskirts of the town they also have their own beach bar, La Playa, which is in a fab location and serves wonderful chilled beers and a great range of cocktails. You can also get really good food here too! On the Sunday I was there they had a Steel Pan playing which was brilliant – definitely a good way to spend a sunny afternoon!

I think the Green Roof Inn was a lovely place to stay and did what it set out to do very well. It has a great charm in beautiful surroundings and offered very good value for money. And they made a packed breakfast for me on the day I left to catch the ferry at 6am –even though I hadn´t asked for it! It´s those little touches that make the difference. I shall return!

I spent a few days at the Green Roof Inn just north (10 min walk) of Hillsborough, Carriacou, Grenada. The staff (including owners Jonas and Osa) were fantastic and extremely accomodating. The rooms are simple, complete, and clean. The food from both the hotel kitchen and the beach bar (La Playa) was excellent, as were the drinks. My last meal was a beautiful rock lobster that was literally just plucked from the turqoise waters that surround the island. On the day we checked out they let us keep our bags in our rooms until we had to leave to catch our 3:30 pm ferry ride back to Grenada - even caught a last minute shower. In addition they set us up with a driver (Lincoln "Linky" Bedeau) that picked us up from the ferry pier, gave us a tour of the island, and organized a trip to the uninhabited White Island. All in all, it was a fantastic stay.

When I remember my journey through the Carribean I think about Carriacou and the Green Roof inn. I wasnt sure to go there because of the mixed reviews. Now I'm so glad I did go! I loved it. The atmosphere (relaxing, home), the staff from the restaurant (Magnus and the 2 girls) and the manager. I stayed in the single room which is basic but for the price they ask very good. You don't spent a lot of time in your room after all. I was laying in the hammock, having lunch and dinner at the terrace or reading a book viewing the sea.
You most like remote places to like Carriacou. I liked it! I felt comfortable, at peace. People on Carriacou are pleasant. They dont see you as a tourist but as a friend ;-)
The food at the restaurant is probably the best (also is Bogles round house). The price is a bit high but for me it was worth it.
The mosquitos didnt bother me too much. There was a good net in my room.

Tip for the owner:
- When I was in your hotel Magnus was the one looking after the safety of the guests at night. That gave me a save feeling. Will there be a guard if he's not around anymore?
- The photos on your website are very old and dont give a good impression of the premises. To make sure not to have wrong expectations its better to place new photos.

I was here for a couple of weeks across Christmas - my third time. I think it's the perfect place to relax and an oasis of good (European) food in a beautiful but simple island like Carriacou; good selection of wines too,which is sometimes difficult to find in small islands. I stayed in the bungalow and unlike some of the reviewers had no problem with mosqitoes due to a very effective net over the bed. I liked the clean, rustic feel of the bungalow maybe because I spend a lot of the year in upscale hotels and understand that simplicity can be a form of luxury.
I love the island : although there were a few other tourists , it is devoid of the usual stains of tourism.

we stayed at Green Roof and it was really worse than expected. We are not into fancy but -this is not a fun place. no screens on windows.zipp.mosquito net that seriously did no good for the mosquitos. we live on a farm at home and have chickens... it was the literally all nite barking dogs that were disgusting. The islanders were not welcoming and sorry but the beaches were really either non-existing or hardly accessable.
