True Blue Bay Resort vs Siesta Hotel – At a Glance

Category True Blue Bay Resort Siesta Hotel
Overall Vibe Family-friendly boutique resort on Grenada’s south coast with a colorful, relaxed, all-ages atmosphere and more on-property amenities. Straightforward, affordable hotel option for travelers who want a simpler stay and plan to spend more time out and about.
Location On Old Mill Road overlooking True Blue Bay, about five minutes by car from the airport and about five minutes from Grand Anse Beach. A practical Grenada hotel base, better for travelers who value affordability and easy access to the island over a full resort setting.
Rooms & Suites Boutique-style accommodations, including romantic options like the treetop Honeybee Suite, with a more distinctive resort personality. Simpler hotel-style Rooms, best for guests who do not need a large resort footprint or extensive on-site facilities.
Dining Two restaurants and two bars, including waterfront Dodgy Dock Restaurant and Bar, House of Chocolate Bakery, and a poolside rum bar. Better for travelers who are comfortable using the hotel as a base and eating more meals around Grenada rather than relying on a resort dining scene.
Pools & Beach Four outdoor pools with different moods, plus bayfront water access and a complimentary shuttle to Grand Anse Beach. A simpler pool-and-hotel setup without the same breadth of resort-style pool, bayfront, and water-sports amenities.
Kids & Family Children of all ages are welcome, with family-friendly amenities including child-friendly pools, a playground, and babysitting for an extra charge. Works for families who want a more economical Grenada stay, though it is less focused on resort-style programming and facilities.
Price & Value Best value for travelers who will use the pools, dining, spa, yoga, water-sports access, and shuttle service built into the resort experience. Best value for travelers who want to save on the hotel and prioritize beaches, restaurants, and island exploring outside the property.

Rooms & Suites: Boutique Resort Character vs Simple Hotel Practicality

True Blue Bay Resort – Room Style

Rooms and suites at True Blue Bay Resort lean into the property’s colorful boutique personality, with a relaxed Grenada feel and options suited to couples, families, and longer resort stays.

  • Boutique-style accommodations in a family-owned resort setting
  • Good fit for travelers who want more character than a basic hotel room
  • Romantic specialty options include the treetop Honeybee Suite with ocean views

True Blue Bay is the better pick if you want your room to feel connected to a broader resort experience, not just a place to sleep.

Siesta Hotel – Room Style

Siesta Hotel is the more practical choice for travelers who want a simpler, more affordable Grenada stay and do not need a boutique resort environment around them.

  • Straightforward hotel-style accommodations
  • Better for guests who plan to spend most days off property
  • Best for travelers who value function and price over resort atmosphere

If you want distinctive resort character, True Blue Bay has the edge; if you want a simpler room at a more budget-minded hotel, Siesta Hotel makes more sense.

Dining & Drinks: Resort Dining Scene vs Eat-Around Flexibility

True Blue Bay Resort – Restaurants & Bars

Dining at True Blue Bay Resort is a real part of the stay, led by Dodgy Dock Restaurant and Bar, an oceanfront alfresco venue serving international cuisine with Grenadian and Caribbean flavors.

Expect:

  • Dodgy Dock open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner
  • House of Chocolate Bakery on-site, plus The Rum Shop poolside bar
  • Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options available

Siesta Hotel – Restaurants & Bars

Siesta Hotel is better viewed as a base for exploring Grenada’s wider dining scene rather than a resort where the restaurants and bars define the vacation.

  • Better for travelers who like eating out around the island
  • Less of a contained resort dining experience
  • Ideal if you prefer flexibility over built-in restaurants and bars

If on-site dining, themed evenings, cocktails, and a waterfront restaurant matter, True Blue Bay is the stronger choice.

Pools & Beach: Four-Pool Bayfront Resort vs Simpler Hotel Base

True Blue Bay Resort – Pool & Beach Scene

True Blue Bay Resort has a much fuller pool and water-focused setup, with four distinct outdoor pools and a bayfront location overlooking True Blue Bay.

  • Four outdoor pools, including a family beach pool with a waterslide
  • Bayfront setting, though not a traditional beachfront resort
  • Complimentary shuttle to Grand Anse Beach

Siesta Hotel – Pool & Beach Scene

Siesta Hotel works better if you want an affordable place to stay while making Grenada’s beaches and attractions the focus of your days.

  • More practical hotel atmosphere than resort pool scene
  • Better for travelers who do not need multiple pools or water-sports facilities
  • A good fit if the beach is something you visit rather than something built into the hotel experience

If pools, bay views, and easy beach-shuttle access are important, True Blue Bay feels much more resort-like.

Kids & Family: All-Ages Resort Amenities vs Budget-Friendly Simplicity

True Blue Bay Resort – Family Programming

True Blue Bay Resort is an all-ages, family-friendly resort, with children welcome and facilities that make it easier for families to settle in for a relaxed Grenada stay.

  • Children of all ages are welcome
  • Child-friendly pools and a children’s playground
  • Babysitting services available for an extra charge

Siesta Hotel – Family Programming

Siesta Hotel can work for families who want to manage costs and keep the hotel portion of the trip simple, especially if most activities are planned off property.

  • Better for independent family travelers on a tighter budget
  • Less emphasis on resort-style family amenities
  • Best for families who mainly need a comfortable, practical base

If you want more built-in family convenience and kid-friendly facilities, True Blue Bay is the better fit.
