Mermaid Beach Hotel

We thoroughly enjoyed our time on Carriacou and the Mermaid Beach Hotel. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating! We booked the beachfront rooms and spent our early mornings and late evenings on the outdoor loungers watching the water. The rooms were spacious, had fridge/microwave, and reliable WIFI. The island is trying very hard to rebuild after the devastations of Hurricane Beryl which made landfall as a Cat 4 on July 1. Unfortunately, many of the restaurants are still closed to include the onsite kitchen at Mermaid Hotel. This made it really difficult to find breakfast or coffee in the mornings but we quickly adapted by purchasing food and caffeine from the nearby supermarket the night before so we had something in our stomachs before starting our days of diving or island hopping. The beds are extremely firm but I tend to find each culture has varying preferences on hard or soft mattresses. If you prefer a softer mattress, you might be hard-pressed to find it in Grenada. Would stay here again!

Spent two nights at this hotel and I highly recommend it. From reservations to check-in and checkout, everything was to my complete satisfaction. The location is right on the beach and right in the main city with all amenities close by. The room was immaculate and spotless, the housekeeper at this hotel gets 20/10 for the attention to detail especially in making the bed.......perfection. I also enjoyed the location breakfast at the onsite restaurant. Overall, great stay and this will now be my spot for my monthly visit to the beautiful island of Carriacou.

We stayed at this hotel, after not such a great stay at the Townhouse in Carriacou. It's in a great location, just off the beach in Hillsborough. Our parents were originally from Carriacou and we've been visiting for 35 years. Unfortunately as my parents have passed away and we're doing some repairs to the house, we had to find alternative accommodation so thought we'd stay at a local 'hotel'. Upon arrival, there was no one there. We were told to come back later, which by then, had someone to check us in. The rate had included breakfast, which was great, as we hadn't had this feature at our previous accommdation. Once I'd paid, I was told that there was no breakfast. They didn't have enough people and wasn't worth the person's while just cooking for two people. Fair enough, bit disappointed, but kind of got it. The room was basic, but with very strong and effective air conditioning. It wasn't very large, without anywhere to put our cases, or clothing as such, apart from a wardrobe. The fridge was tiny, the bin was small and only got changed once as no staff on the Sunday. I know Carriacou well, so I wasn't expecting Sandals, but still... The shower looked great, so was expecting a lovely hot shower, but of course got, at best, a cold to tepid temperature. More disappointment. Worst to come, there was no-one on site at night and it felt really scary as there was zero security. The light outside of our room didn't come on either. The 'ocean' view was the best. We had a broken down motorbike outside of our room and plain walls. I have no idea how they can call this a hotel. How, what, where?!!! No breakfast, even though we'd paid and clearly were never going to receive a refund? No security, nothing. I would not recommend staying here unless you literally only want a bed for the night, are on a diet and want a cold shower! Carriacou itself is absolutely beautiful, the people are wonderful - so find somewhere to stay that appreciates your money and understands what customer service actually means.
