Petite Anse Hotel

Such a lovely, serene, and special place - a true slice of island magic! If you are on the fence as to whether you should visit this part of the island or this hotel, stop wavering and book a room! The cottages, while not luxurious, are comfortable and well appointed, each with its own stunning view of the resort's beach, which, while not technically private(by law, all beaches in Grenada are public), you will have virtually all to yourself. I cannot think of a more relaxing place to be than on the hammock on the front porch of the cottage, leisurely reading while taking in the view and the sounds of the crashing waves below. The pool is also lovely, as is the bar and dining area, with expansive views of Cariccou, St Vincent & the Grenadines, and on a clear day, as far as St Lucia.

The location is very quiet and peaceful. Definitely a place to stay if you want to relax. The dining room and bar had good prices and the service was excellent. Within walking distance to Sauteurs. Plenty of other good hikes in the area. We participated in the Sunday morning walk sponsored by the hotel and also enjoyed the Sunday barbecue. We booked the Sandy Island trip and that was enjoyable. A huge thank you to Dona for taking care of scheduling and making our reservations. The 4 stop tour led by our driver, Leon was great. We will definitely stay again.

We spent a lovely 4 nights at Petite Anse to experience this side of the island on our first trip to Grenada. Rooms all had a gorgeous, peaceful view and while rustic (especially the bathroom), were clean and well maintained. The AC worked well (and you could still hear the lovely waves to lull yourself to sleep using it!) but the beds were a bit hard and not the nicest linens. Some things to keep in mind: • It is absolutely worth spending a few nights here to explore this side of the island. It is a 2+ hour ride from the airport and St. Georges area on very dark, very windy roads so definitely not suitable for a day trip! We rented a car (def recommend!) and thank goodness the hotel has signs to help you make your way there! • The food was wonderful with much of it grown on their property. The menu changed nightly. Other than one nearby restaurant, there really aren’t any other food options that we felt comfortable eating at (or were open). The complimentary breakfast was delicious and had a lot of options. • Melvin, the bartender and all of the servers at the restaurant were kind, helpful and a joy to enjoy our meals with! • This is a very quiet place to relax. The guests sometimes gathered in one of the communal areas in the evening but we were in bed nightly by 9pm-ish. • The weather was tough when we were there so the water was too rough to go in to try the beach. The pool is right off the restaurant so you need to be comfortable with people dining right there when you’re swimming! • There are some cats that have made themselves at home here. If you are a cat fan you will be in heaven. If you are allergic, you will not be. “Tommy” woke us up at 6am outside our door with his paws up trying to let himself in and is very aggressive when you’re outside trying to enjoy your front deck. • There are not fancy toiletries in the bathroom so make sure you bring everything from home. Also, don’t forget the bug spray and itch stick for bites! Overall, we would definitely recommend a stay here for a few nights while visiting Grenada to explore this very different side of the island!

I am really glad that I chose Petite Anse as my home away from home during the holiday season and for my first time on the island of Grenada. Prior to making the trip, I emailed with a million and one inquiries. Philip was very patient with me and thorough in his response and follow up. I traveled solo and felt very, very safe my entire time there. I stayed in Clove cottage, which had an amazing view of the water and the waves were my soundtrack for the night. The space was really conducive to what I wanted to do during my stay which was rest, write, reflect and practice yoga. They have yoga mats that you can borrow. Receptionist and staff were super sweet and Melvin at the bar made GREAT drinks. The breakfast was great, as it was not a typical buffet, but made to order. Loved it here and will definitely be back! Thinking about planning a retreat here. :)

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Petite Anse. The setting was exactly what we were looking for, quiet and out of the tourist areas. Philip, Donna, and all of the staff were super friendly and always helpful. Melvin gets a special shout out as our favorite bartender who now knows all about Harry Belefonte :-). We stayed in the Cocoa cabin, no complaints other than it is the closest to the restaurant so it can get loud at night. Most of the time, the wind and waves cover up the noise. The sand fleas are pretty voracious if the wind isn't blowing, so bring long pants for hikes and trips in town. We walked all over and felt safe the whole time - well, except for one run-in with 2 Dobermans....most of the stray dogs won't bother you. Highly recommended!

Don't let my tardiness in the review take away from how much we enjoyed our stay. To experience as much as we could we decided split our trip to Grenada in two locations. And after reading some reviews on this site and other research we chose petit anse for the first leg and definitely made a good choice. We didn't want to try the driving ourselves so we arranged airport pickup through the hotel, and it couldn't have been easier. Our driver spotted us before we saw him and we are off in minutes. He was able to stop at the ATM and at a shop for some beer and snacks for the room, as well as history of the beautiful island. It was about an hour and half drive up(glad we didn't do it ourselves). Upon arrival we were met immediately by Donna, her friendliness and enthusiasm let us know we were in for a fantastic stay. We were led to our ocean front cabin, with a porch and hammock looking directly out to the grenadines. Really all the rooms had spectacular views. The gardens were very well kept and beautiful. Since it's the north side the waves are relentless, but you could swim and play in them and made for an extremely peaceful night's sleep. The shower was private but looked out to the ocean, very cool. The room was large and had a fridge, ac worked great and very clean. There was a nice pool right by the bar/restaurant that overlooked the ocean. Also very clean and plenty of lounge chairs. We made friends with Marvin the bartender right away and he made sure we weren't thirsty. Explaining the various rums from Grenada, make sure you try Rivers. Also ask him for a jungle bird. His friendliness was indicative of how the hotel is run. We had the half board plan and it was perfect for us. Excellent breakfasts you can get traditional Grenadian breakfast with pickled fish and baked (kind of a fritter) and cocoa tea (hot chocolate). Or even an English style breakfast, as the owners are English. And a nice greeting from the local cats. Dinner was also very good, it was slow season so some of the dishes were repetitive especially with fish, but it was all very good and well made. One of the truly best aspects of Petit Anse is how they really go out of their way to provide you with opportunities to see this side of the island. We hired a guide to take us to Belmont estate, he waited while we took the fantastic tour (bring bug repellent the flies are necessary for the chocolate but your legs will pay for it). We had lunch with him there, great buffet. Then he drove us to pearls airport, never driven on an air***** before. Next was Rivers distillery, you could smell it a mile away. If you like Rum you need to go. And finally we stopped at the bathway Beach. A fantastic day, all set up by petit anse. Our final excursion was to sandy island, this is a must. The hotel provides you with food and beer for a picnic, transportation to the pier at sauters, a local fisherman takes you to the uninhabited island. We had the whole island to ourselves and had a lunc

My wife and I were there for 10 days, not even a month ago for our honeymoon and totally enjoyed our visit. This was a second marriage for both of us and were looking for something quiet and out of the way. We are so happy we chose Petite Anse. From the moment we arrived we were treated like family. Nakitha was absolutely wonderful and patient w us as we always had a million questions, she arranged several tours for us and we were not disappointed. We were so happy to meet and spend some time with the owners Phillip and Tanya and can understand why the staff is so happy and laid back. They have created such a warm and comfortable environment both for their guests and staff. The food was amazing every day, everything was fresh and made on site even their coconut ice cream. We did not walk away from any meal feeling empty or disappointed. There are so many nice things to say about the staff and all the little things they did to make our stay a memorable one. We were able to meet and talk at length to many staff members and they really made us feel welcome. We had a difficult time saying goodbye to everyone as it was like leaving family. I cant say enough nice things about Petite Anse. We are so pleased with our visit we want to return for our 1 year anniversary. Thank you for a truly wonderful stay and we look forward to seeing everyone again. Rich and Kerry

We have visited Petite Anse a number of times, visiting for the first time in 2010 the year after it opened. We were entranced and have remained so over many visits. There are so many things to recommend it, its position and views cannot be surpassed. Its simple individual cabins provide privacy and comfort, with the deck being a place to chill out. Staff, and especially housekeeping, are wonderful. Special mention goes to Aran, housekeeping and Melvin in the bar with his great cocktails. Nash who looks after the grounds always has a cheery wave or a chat. Our first glimpse of pelicans is always a great thrill. Its isolation away from mass tourism and a feeling that you are in the middle of nature. Over the years we have seen changes. Staff changes, some as a result of Covid and some as a result of circumstances. We have missed these people. There is a very attractive pool and on initial visits was very enjoyable but advancing years and stiff limbs have meant access to the pool is very difficult as there is no hand rail. The beach is lovely but neglected. I know beaches in Grenada are public property but a little care would make it more appealing. This has been a bit of a swan song as this has been our last visit. We find the journey which involves a trip from the Midlands to the airport followed by the 10 hour flight and then the journey to PA quite stressful, and even more this time when there was a 24 hour delay at Grenada airport. PA is very special to us and holds many wonderful memories. Thank you Philip and Annie for having the dream to build such a remarkable place.

A welcoming atmosphere with a breathtaking view. I went there for my birthday dinner and was very pleased with everything. The delicious seafood soup as started was everything. I was pleasantly surprised when the head chef and other members of staff sang happy birthday to me and gave a slice of their mouthwatering cheese-chocolate cake.
