We would definitely return to Paradise Bay. The food is incredible and the villas have beautiful views. James Post is an excellent chef, knowledgeable tour guide, and tries to accomodate his guest's every need.
The food here is truly a highlight. Each day we had breakfast and dinner at Paradise Bay, except for Fish Friday. All of our meals were freshly prepared with ingredients picked up locally, like fish and produce. We knew our meals were prepared fresh by listening to the chopping sounds and the sound of a blender. The 7-course brunch is great! James is really a masterful chef. His cooking rivals some of the best restaurants we've dined in throughout the US. Even if you do not stay at Paradise Bay we would urge you to make a reservation and a trip to James' restaurant while you are in Grenada. Be aware it may take some time for the entire meal, but it is worth the wait.
The resort's website portrays exactly what you should expect during your stay. This is not a luxury resort, so do not expect daily maid service. However if you need anything such as clean towels, you only need to ask. The entire resort is not completed. There is no pool and several buildings are still under construction. There are no lights between the villas and the main buidling, so bring a flashlight.
The resort is located on the southeast side of the island, which is a 20-40 minute car ride to the closest towns or a 15 minute walk to the closest village. So, it's not located in an area where you can walk to towns, but neither are the few other resorts in close proximity.
The resort is situated 85 feet up on a bluff adjacent to two beaches. We did not swim at either beach, but saw some local families swimming at one beach several times. You can also hike to several secluded beaches, which we did, and chances are you will see no one except maybe a cow or two grazing in the grassy areas. Our beach time was spent at Grand Anse, since we preferred the calmer beaches on the Caribbean side.
We did not rent a car during our stay in Grenada. James provided transportation during our stay for a fee, including day trips to the beach, several tours of the island and to Grand Etang National Park.
Paradise Bay is a resort with enormous potential! We would highly recommend Paradise Bay to travelers with an open mind and who can forego some luxuries. We hope to return in the future.
