Kalinago Beach Resort

I made a reservation through *******, when I arrived I was told that the room I booked and paid for was not available. I have not received a refund yet.

Great location - service staff very welcoming and supportive

Stayed a week at Kalingano beach resort and absolutely loved it! The staff was so friendly, the beach was gorgeous and the rum punches was nice and strong! There was Laundry service in the hotel and also if you need anything, you can simply what’s app the resort number and within minutes you are replied too. Couldn’t fault the hotel, loved our room and balcony with sea views (I believe all rooms have sea views) the air con was very powerful and really cold it was just what you need after a long day in the sun! I just want to give a special shout out to DESLIN who made our stay 💓 such a lovely kind lady who is always smiling. She makes you feel welcome from the second you arrive. And shout out to PETER the maintenance guy, legend!!! For people who say the hotel is outdated, I think for the money you pay there is really nothing to complain about! Plus it had a true Caribbean feel. Absolutely loved our stay here and will definitely be back to visit Grenada 🇬🇩

The beach,amazingly beautiful. The warmth and friendiness of the people. The delicious meals that can be obtain at the front restaurant on the beach. Gems.

Being right on the beach was great.

I thought that I was staying at a nice quiet resort because there were only 29 rooms. But the place had deals with the cruise ship companies, and depending which ships were in, the parking lot was swarming with buses full of tourists. They stormed the grounds and took over the place. They grabbed all the chaise lounges, then they took the chairs from the pool area and dragged them onto the beach. They used the pool, the bar and the shower. It totally ruined the serenity that I was seeking, and was led to believe that I was going to get. And then there was the day that the resort rented out the grounds for a birthday party. There were a whole bunch of screaming kids who took over the whole pool and destroyed every inflatable. And on Sundays, anyone who wants to can pay admission and use the whole place. You don’t see any of this in their advertisements! You keep seeing the word “tranquil” in their ads, but that is not the way I would describe it when the Rhum Runner party boat dumps all its passengers on the beach. Nor is that the word I would use when the fishermen came ashore with all their nets, leaving behind hundreds of dead fish in the water. As for everything else about the place? There are pros and cons. The room was relatively clean, although dated. The balcony had a great view of the beach. The grounds were meticulously maintained. The beach was beautiful. The pool had a swim-up bar. But there were a lot of cons. There was no microwave, no coffee pot, no rack to put the suitcases on, no tissue box and no hair dryer. All we had was a kettle. There was no floral arrangement in my room as they advertised. I never knew whether my shower was going to be the polar plunge or molten lava. It changed daily. For that matter, I never knew if I was going to have water. Twice we lost it, and for hours at a time. We also lost electricity twice. The ceiling fan didn’t work at all. Nor did the outlet in the bathroom for charging my shaver. The air conditioner blew directly onto the bed, and there was no way to angle it differently. The chairs on the balcony were hard wooden slats; no cushions. Most of the chaise lounges on the beach were either broken or missing pieces. I had to get up at 6:00 AM in order to claim a good one. The photos show every lounge in the pool area has a cushion, but I counted only seven. The restaurant was not open for dinner. There was a barbecue on the beach on Saturday night, but they never told us how much it would cost until we checked out. The food was all cold, and the lobster was overcooked and dry. We had to use water shoes to enter the water because what they called “powder white sand beach” was full of stones. I don’t know, maybe remnants of the hurricane? And don’t ask to check out late unless you want to shell out an additional $60 US.
