Caesars Atlantic City - A Caesars Rewards Destination
Strong name, decent price. $58 buys you 4-star digs on the Boardwalk with over 22,000 reviews backing it up. The Rewards program is genuinely useful if you're a repeat visitor. Rooms can feel dated in the older tower, so request a renovated floor.

Silverado Franklin Historic Hotel & Gaming Complex, Legends Steakhouse & Silverado Grand Buffet
The name's a mouthful but the value isn't bad. $59 gets you a historic property with its own steakhouse and buffet on-site. The 4.2 rating from 4,000 guests is solid. It's a quirky choice with character, not a polished chain hotel.

Tropicana Atlantic City - A Caesars Rewards Destination
Cheapest Caesars property on the Boardwalk at $52. The 35,000-plus reviews tell you this place handles volume well. Don't expect luxury, but you'll sleep fine and wake up steps from the ocean. It punches above its 3-star rating most of the time.

The LINQ - A Caesars Rewards Destination
At $241, you're paying a lot for a 4.1 rating. The center-Strip location and direct access to the LINQ Promenade justify it if location is everything. But honest caveat: you can stay at Caesars Atlantic City for $183 less and get a higher rating.

The STRAT Hotel, Casino & Tower
The observation tower alone makes this worth considering. You're at the north end of the Strip, away from the heaviest tourist crush. $63 for a 4.0 rating is fair. It's a bit removed from the action, so factor in ride costs if you're out late.

Circus Circus Reno - A Caesars Rewards Destination
Classic Reno casino hotel at $64 with a 4.0 from nearly 18,000 reviews. The circus theme is dated but the beds are comfortable and the buffet is reliable. It's downtown Reno, walking distance to the Riverwalk. Families do well here.

The VUE Boutique Hotel & Boathouse
The Boathouse sets this apart from every other option on this list. Waterfront access, boutique scale, $69 a night. It's the only property here where you can rent a kayak before breakfast. Smaller, quieter, and better for couples than casino-chasers.

Lowest price at $40, lowest rating at 3.9. The math is honest: you get what you pay for. That said, 16,000 reviews means this place has real staying power. Fine for a short stop or a budget overnight. Skip if you're celebrating anything.

Where to Stay in St. Georges
The neighborhood you pick matters more than the hotel.
Grand Anse Beach: where to stay and what to skip
Grand Anse is the obvious anchor for any trip to St. George's. The beach is 3 km long, the water is calm, and the strip between Coyaba Beach Resort and Spice Island is genuinely one of the best-serviced stretches of sand in the Caribbean. But not every hotel on Grand Anse justifies its beachfront price. some properties list 'Grand Anse area' in their description while sitting 15 minutes uphill.
Our advice: stick to the southern end of Grand Anse Beach Road where Spice Island, Coyaba, and the Radisson sit practically side by side. That cluster gives you easy access to Umbrella's Beach Bar, the dive shops near True Blue Bay, and the minibus stop on the main road. If you book anywhere claiming Grand Anse that isn't walking distance to the sand, ask for the exact walking time in minutes before you confirm.
The Carenage and St. George's town: nice to visit, not to stay
The Carenage waterfront is genuinely beautiful. The Georgian warehouses, the fishing boats, the smell of nutmeg drifting from the market. it's real Caribbean character and you should spend at least a half-day there. But it's a working port town, not a resort zone, and the few guesthouses here charge boutique prices for rooms that are really just overpriced locals' hotels.
Stay on Lagoon Road if you want to be close to St. George's without paying inflated Carenage rates. Grenada Rainbow Inn sits there at $55-85/night, and you're 10 minutes walk from the town market and about 20 minutes by bus to Grand Anse. Fort George is worth the uphill walk for the harbour views. go at sunset, it's free, and the cannon-lined walls make it one of the best photo spots on the island.
L'Anse aux Epines: the quiet alternative most tourists miss
L'Anse aux Epines sits about 5 km south of Grand Anse and most visitors drive straight past it. That's their loss. The Prickly Bay marina area has good restaurants, a calmer beach scene, and Calabash Luxury Boutique Hotel. which at $210-320/night earns its 9.1 rating without the performative luxury of some Grand Anse competitors.
It's genuinely residential down here. You'll share the roads with local families and yacht crews from the marina rather than tour groups. The tradeoff is that you need a taxi or rental car to get around easily. Budget about $10-12 USD each way to Grand Anse if you don't have wheels.
How to get around St. George's without overpaying on taxis
Grenada has a functional shared minibus system that most tourists completely ignore. The route between St. George's bus terminal on Granby Street and Grand Anse junction runs constantly during daylight hours and costs $1-2 EC per ride. That's under $1 USD. Private taxis charge $10-15 USD for the same trip, which is fine once or twice but ruins a budget quickly.
For anything beyond St. George's and Grand Anse. like La Sagesse in St. David's or Petite Anse up in Sauteurs. you'll need either a private taxi or a rental car. Rental cars start around $50-65 USD/day from agencies near the airport. Driving on the left and the roads are narrow in the interior, but manageable if you're not in a rush.
The north of the island: worth the drive, seriously
Most people never leave the Grand Anse corridor and it shows. Sauteurs in the north is where Petite Anse Hotel sits, and the drive up through Gouyave and past the nutmeg plantations takes about 45 minutes from St. George's. Leapers Hill overlook is 2 minutes from the hotel and the view north towards Carriacou on a clear day is stunning.
Petite Anse at $180-260/night is our Romantic Stay pick for a reason. It's remote enough to feel private but not so isolated that you can't get a good meal nearby. The owner-run setup means service is personal rather than scripted, which matters more than most hotel metrics suggest.
St. David's and La Sagesse: Grenada's most underrated corner
La Sagesse Bay in St. David's is about 20 minutes east of Grand Anse by car and feels like a different island. The La Sagesse Nature Centre sits right on a quiet beach with mangroves, salt ponds, and hiking trails through the nature reserve. At $75-110/night it's the most interesting mid-range option on the island.
This isn't a resort in the traditional sense. The rooms are simple, the beach is calm and usually empty, and the restaurant sources from local farms and the sea. It earns its Hidden Gem badge because most travel agents don't push it. it doesn't pay commission rates. Go here if you want Grenada without the Grand Anse scene.
St. Georges's best hotel regions
Grand Anse is the obvious first choice. it's where the best beach is and where most of the well-run hotels sit. But if you want local life and lower prices, the Lagoon Road area near the capital is worth a look.
Grand Anse 5 vetted hotels The island's best beach, with hotels to match every budget above $100.
The island's best beach, with hotels to match every budget above $100.
Grand Anse is where Grenada's hotel industry is concentrated, and for good reason. The beach is real. 3 km of pale sand with calm Caribbean water, not the doctored Instagram version. Five of our 10 picks sit here, from Coyaba at $145/night to Silversands pushing $800.
The southern end near Spice Island and Coyaba is the sweet spot. You're close to Umbrella's Beach Bar, within walking distance of the dive shops on Grand Anse Beach Road, and the minibus stop to St. George's is on the main road. The further north you drift toward the Radisson end, the slightly more removed you are from the best restaurant cluster.
Don't let the range intimidate you. Coyaba at $145-220/night and the Radisson at $165-240/night are legitimate mid-range picks that earn their prices honestly. Spice Island and Silversands are genuine luxury, not just expensive. Kalinago in between is the family sweet spot.

Capital city atmosphere on Lagoon Road, without the resort prices.
St. George's is Grenada's capital and one of the most picturesque port towns in the Eastern Caribbean. The Carenage horseshoe harbour, the Georgian buildings on the hillside, Fort George above it all. there's genuine history here. But the accommodation scene in the town itself is patchy.
Lagoon Road is the sensible base. Grenada Rainbow Inn sits there at $55-85/night and gives you honest, no-frills rooms close to the action. You're 10-15 minutes walk from the Carenage market, and the bus to Grand Anse leaves from the terminal on Granby Street, about 12 minutes on foot.
The Flamboyant Hotel on Morne Rouge is technically in the St. George's area but closer to Grand Anse in feel. it's on a hilltop above the bay at $110-175/night, which makes it the best value mid-ranger on the island. Views over Morne Rouge Bay beat anything in the Carenage hotel zone.
Browse all St. George's Town hotels → L'Anse aux Epines 1 vetted hotel Quiet, upscale, residential. the yacht crowd knows this area well.
Quiet, upscale, residential. the yacht crowd knows this area well.
L'Anse aux Epines, or Prickly Bay as locals call it, is about 5 km south of Grand Anse and worlds apart in atmosphere. The marina is busy with international yachts, the roads are quiet, and Calabash Luxury Boutique Hotel sits here with a 9.1 rating and cottages starting at $210/night.
Calabash doesn't feel like a resort in the conventional sense. The grounds are lush, the service is personalised, and the beach is shared by guests rather than overrun by day-trippers from cruise ships. It's 15 minutes by taxi from Grand Anse Beach and about 20 minutes from the Carenage.
If you're honeymooning or celebrating something, this is a serious contender. The restaurant at Calabash is actually worth eating at, which can't be said for every hotel restaurant in Grenada. Budget the taxi costs into your trip. it's $10-12 USD each way to Grand Anse.
Browse all L'Anse aux Epines hotels → St. David's and the East Coast 1 vetted hotel The quiet east coast, where La Sagesse Nature Reserve sits on its own bay.
The quiet east coast, where La Sagesse Nature Reserve sits on its own bay.
St. David's is about 20 minutes east of Grand Anse on the Atlantic-facing coast, and La Sagesse Bay is one of the most genuinely peaceful spots in Grenada. The Nature Centre here is part boutique lodge, part eco-retreat, with rooms from $75/night on a beach that doesn't appear on most tourist maps.
This is the place for birdwatchers, hikers, and anyone who finds Grand Anse too resort-y. The trails through the La Sagesse nature reserve are properly wild, and the on-site restaurant cooks fresh-caught fish and locally grown produce. It earns a 7.8 rating on honest, unpretentious grounds.
Getting here without a car takes a bit of effort. A taxi from St. George's costs around $20-25 USD. But once you're here, you don't really need to leave. the bay, the trails, and the restaurant keep most guests happily in place for days.
Browse all St. David's and the East Coast hotels → Sauteurs and the North 1 vetted hotel Remote, dramatic, and completely different from the Grand Anse tourist strip.
Remote, dramatic, and completely different from the Grand Anse tourist strip.
Sauteurs is Grenada's northernmost town, about 45 minutes from St. George's through the interior past nutmeg estates and rainforest. Petite Anse Hotel sits on a dramatic clifftop above a private black-sand bay here, at $180-260/night, and it's easily the most striking location of any hotel on our list.
Leapers Hill is literally next door. the clifftop where the last Carib warriors jumped into the sea in 1651 rather than surrender. Standing there at sunset with a view north to Carriacou is one of those travel experiences that doesn't need much narration. The hotel's small beach below the cliff is accessible by a short path.
This is not a practical base for exploring St. George's daily. Treat it as a retreat: come here for 2-3 nights, eat at the hotel, hike, swim, and leave the Grand Anse circuit for another part of the trip.

Tell us how you travel.
Romantic Escape
Petite Anse in Sauteurs is the call here. a clifftop hotel with private bay access and zero party-resort energy. Calabash at L'Anse aux Epines is the luxury alternative, with private cottage gardens 15 minutes south of Grand Anse.
Culture & History
Base yourself on Lagoon Road near the Carenage in St. George's town. Fort George is a 15-minute walk uphill and the Saturday market on Halifax Street is the real thing. The Georgian harbour architecture alone is worth the detour from Grand Anse.
Family Holiday
Grand Anse Beach is the clear winner for families. calm water, flat sand, and Kalinago Beach Resort right on it at $155-230/night. The Radisson next door has a larger pool setup if that matters for younger kids.
Budget Travel
Lagoon Road in St. George's is where the honest budget options live, starting at $55/night at Grenada Rainbow Inn. You're 20 minutes by minibus from Grand Anse Beach for under $1 USD each way.
Beach & Water Sports
The southern end of Grand Anse Beach Road is your zone. dive shops, snorkel rentals, and the Underwater Sculpture Park offshore at Moliniere Bay all within reach. Spice Island and Coyaba sit right on this stretch.
Foodie Stay
Stay near Grand Anse and eat your way through the strip. BB's Crabback on the Carenage is 15 minutes away by bus, and The Beach House at Grand Anse is one of the better dinner spots in the region. La Sagesse's restaurant in St. David's is worth the 20-minute drive east for the freshest seafood on the island.
We reviewed 8,000+ options across the main regions of St. George's, Grenada. We cut anything with misleading beachfront photos (a real problem here. 'sea view' often means a sliver of water from a hillside), overpriced guesthouses in the Carenage area that charge boutique rates for basic rooms, and resorts that haven't updated their facilities since the early 2000s. If it didn't earn its price tag, it didn't make the list.
Location Quality
Is the neighborhood walkable? Are restaurants, shops, and attractions within 10 minutes on foot? How does it feel after dark? We evaluate safety, public transport access, and whether the area has genuine local character or just tourist traps. A hotel in the wrong neighborhood ruins a trip. That's why location carries the most weight.
Value for Money
We compare what you pay against what you get. A €150 hotel with a great location, clean rooms, and helpful staff can outscore a €500 hotel with fancy amenities in a bad area. We factor in seasonal pricing, cancellation policies, and hidden costs like tourist tax and breakfast surcharges. The goal is finding the best ratio, not the lowest price.
Guest Experience
We analyze thousands of verified guest reviews across multiple platforms, looking for patterns rather than individual complaints. Consistent praise for cleanliness, staff, and room quality counts. We also assess the intangibles: does the hotel have character? Would you recommend it to a friend? A soul-less chain hotel with perfect facilities still loses to a well-run boutique with personality.

When to Visit St. Georges
Hotel prices, crowds, and weather vary by season.
Peak Season (Dec-Apr)
This is Grenada's dry season and the most reliable weather window. Grand Anse Beach hotels book out weeks in advance from mid-December through February, and prices climb 25-40% above shoulder rates. The Carriacou Regatta in late January occasionally spills over into St. George's bookings too, so lock in accommodation early if you're visiting then.
Shoulder Season (May-Jun)
Late April through June is the island's sweet spot. The Easter rush has cleared, the rains haven't arrived in force yet, and rates drop noticeably. Spice Island goes from $600 to closer to $380/night in this window. The sea stays calm and clear, which makes May and June actually better for diving than the crowded peak months.
Hurricane Season (Jul-Nov)
September and October are the cheapest months in Grenada, with budget rooms on Lagoon Road dropping to $55-75/night and even Grand Anse mid-rangers dipping below $120. Grenada Carnival in August is the exception. that second week sees prices spike hard across St. George's, so either book 3-4 months ahead or avoid it entirely. Hurricane risk is real September-October, though Grenada sits just south of the main hurricane belt.
Green Season (Nov-Dec early)
November is a transition month: the hurricane risk drops sharply after October, the island turns genuinely lush from the rains, and prices haven't hit December peak levels yet. You'll find Grand Anse hotels at $145-200/night where they'd be $200-280/night by Christmas. The Underwater Sculpture Park visibility is excellent in November after the rain-stirred water settles.
Booking Tips for St. Georges
Smart booking strategies for St. Georges.
Book Carnival week by April or give up
Grenada Carnival is the second week of August, centred on St. George's and the Carenage. Every decent hotel within 20 minutes of town fills up by May. Flamboyant Hotel on Morne Rouge and the Grand Anse properties go first. If you're arriving for Carnival and haven't booked by April, you're either paying over the odds for last-minute rooms or staying somewhere you'd rather not.
Don't trust 'beachfront' without asking the exact walking time
This is the most common mistake we've seen in Grenada. Several properties describe themselves as Grand Anse Beach hotels while sitting 10-20 minutes uphill on the back roads toward Morne Rouge. Always ask: 'How many minutes walk is the room to the sand?' Anything over 8 minutes is not a beach hotel. it's a hill hotel with beach aspirations.
Use the minibus system to save real money
The shared minibus route from Granby Street bus terminal in St. George's to Grand Anse junction runs constantly between 6am and 8pm and costs $1-2 EC per ride. That's under $1 USD, compared to $10-15 USD for a taxi doing the same trip. Over a week, that difference pays for a decent dinner at The Beach House on Grand Anse Beach Road.
L'Anse aux Epines needs a taxi budget. plan for it
Calabash and the wider L'Anse aux Epines area are genuinely quiet and that's the point. But you're 5 km south of Grand Anse with no walkable restaurant strip nearby. Budget $10-12 USD each way for taxis to Grand Anse or St. George's. That's roughly $20-25 USD per day if you're eating out. factor it in when comparing room rates.
The north of the island is worth an overnight, not just a day trip
Most visitors drive to Sauteurs and Leapers Hill as a day trip from Grand Anse, which takes 45 minutes each way on winding roads. Staying at Petite Anse Hotel for 1-2 nights at $180-260/night changes the experience completely. You get the clifftop sunsets without the rush, and the Gouyave Nutmeg Processing Station on the way up is one of the more genuinely interesting stops on the island.
Check checkout times at smaller properties
Several of Grenada's smaller hotels, including La Sagesse Nature Centre, operate with tight turnaround windows between checkout and the next guest arriving. Late checkouts at 12pm are sometimes negotiable but not guaranteed. If your flight home from Maurice Bishop International is evening, ask about luggage storage when you book. not when you arrive.
Hotels in St. Georges, FAQ
Straight answers from our team.
Which area of St. George's is best for first-time visitors?
Grand Anse is your best base. You're right on a 3 km stretch of white sand, and restaurants like The Beach House and Umbrellas are a 5-minute walk from most hotels there. Mid-range rooms run $110-230/night, which covers solid options without overpaying. The Carenage is atmospheric but better for a day trip than a hotel base.
What's the cheapest time to visit St. George's?
September and October are the cheapest months, with budget rooms dropping to $55-80/night on Lagoon Road. That's also hurricane season, so you're trading price for risk. If you want low prices without the weather gamble, late April to early June is the sweet spot. crowds thin out after Easter and rates dip noticeably.
Is Grand Anse Beach within walking distance of St. George's town?
Not really. Grand Anse to the Carenage is about 4 km, and in Grenada's heat that's a tough walk. A shared minibus from Grand Anse junction costs about $1-2 EC and takes 10-15 minutes. Taxis charge around $10-15 USD for the same trip, which adds up fast if you're doing it daily.
Are there good budget hotels in St. George's?
Yes, and they're concentrated on or near Lagoon Road, about 10 minutes from the Carenage by foot. Grenada Rainbow Inn sits right there at $55-85/night and gives you clean, honest rooms without the resort markup. Don't expect a pool or beach access at this price, but you're close to real local life and the bus route to Grand Anse runs regularly.
Which hotels are directly on Grand Anse Beach?
Spice Island Beach Resort, Coyaba Beach Resort, Kalinago Beach Resort, Radisson Grenada Beach Resort, and Silversands Grenada all sit directly on Grand Anse Beach. That's 5 of our 10 picks in one stretch of sand, ranging from $145/night at Coyaba to $800/night at Silversands. The quality difference between them is real. don't assume beach access alone justifies the price.
What's the best luxury hotel in St. George's?
Spice Island Beach Resort at Grand Anse tops the list with a 9.3 rating and private pool suites starting at $280/night. Silversands Grenada on the same beach comes close at $350-800/night, with a more modern, design-forward feel. If you want boutique luxury away from the Grand Anse crowd, Calabash Luxury Boutique Hotel at L'Anse aux Epines is worth the 15-minute drive south.
Is it safe to walk around St. George's at night?
The Carenage waterfront and the Market Square area are fine in the evening, especially around restaurants and bars. Avoid wandering up into the hillside streets above Grand Etang Road after dark. petty theft is a known issue there. Most hotels on Grand Anse and in L'Anse aux Epines are in quieter residential areas where nighttime walks are low-risk.
How do I get from the airport to Grand Anse hotels?
Maurice Bishop International Airport is on the south tip of the island, and Grand Anse hotels are about 10 minutes north by car. A taxi from arrivals to Grand Anse costs roughly $20-25 USD fixed rate. There's no metered cab system here, so agree the price before you get in.
What's the best hotel for families in St. George's?
Kalinago Beach Resort on Grand Anse Beach is our Family Friendly pick, with rooms from $155/night and direct beach access. It's got more of a laid-back, informal vibe than the polished luxury resorts nearby, which kids tend to prefer anyway. The Radisson Grenada Beach Resort next door is a solid backup, with a pool setup and organised kids' activities in high season.
Are there any romantic or adults-only hotels in Grenada?
Petite Anse Hotel up near Sauteurs in the north is our top Romantic Stay pick at $180-260/night, with clifftop views over a private bay about 45 minutes from St. George's. Calabash at L'Anse aux Epines is also strongly couples-oriented, with private gardens and butler service at $210-320/night. Both are worth the extra distance from the main tourist strip.
When is Grenada Carnival and should I book early?
Grenada Carnival runs in August, typically the second week, centred around St. George's and the Carenage. Hotel prices jump 20-40% during that week, and Grand Anse properties book out 3-4 months in advance. Book by April if you want Carnival week. the Flamboyant Hotel on Morne Rouge is a good mid-range option that fills fast.
What's the difference between L'Anse aux Epines and Grand Anse?
Grand Anse is the main tourist beach strip, busy and well-serviced, about 3 km of hotels, restaurants, and dive shops. L'Anse aux Epines, known locally as Prickly Bay, is 10 minutes further south and much quieter. it's where the yacht marina is and where Calabash sits. You pay slightly more for L'Anse aux Epines but get a calmer, more residential atmosphere in return.
