Find the Cheap True Blue Hotels

We were not due to stay here, but due to the Coronavirus restrictions forcing us to cut short a stay on Carriacou, we stayed here for 2 nights. Our room was a little apartment with a kitchen, sitting area, dining table, bedoroom and bathroom. The hotel is on the road to the airport so there is traffic passing by all the time, but we didn't really notice it being invasive. The place was just right for our stay - waiting 2 days for our flight home. We were the only people staying there at the time, so started our self-isolation round the pool. This had nice loungers with comfy cushions on, and a sun shaded area with a nice breeze. It is on a steep slope so I would not class it as wheelchair friendly or for anyone with mobility problems. Our daily work out was walking up and down the slope to the pool which is at the top of the property. The restaurant was shut (as everywere on Grenada) but they cooked us breakfast which we ate in our room. In the evening we went and got a take away from the nearby Pun-jabi restaurant (see separate review). We had a friendly little Gecko staying with us in our bedroom who we named Trevor. He seemed to barely move at all, but I entertained myself with thoughts that while we slept he raced round the room doing circuits. The bed was large and very comfy. they had 2 enormous double wardrobes in the room containing about 4 hangers. This wasn't a problem for us as we lived out of our packed bags. I would imagine it's not the sort of place where you stay for a long time anyway. AC in the room was very effective. No ceiling fan. The shower looked old (a fixed head coming out of the wall) but it was fabulous. Lovely hot water and a decent pressure. Nice towels, and the pool towels were nice quality too. Difficult to tell what it would be like normally, but this place served it's purpose for us very well. The reception staff were very nice and helped as much as they could in the circumstances.

Firstly the customer care is magnificent, as you walk into the lobby the approachable, friendly, smiling staff are as helpful as you could ever want someone to be... The fact that you are then shuttled off in a little golf cart to your room with your luggage (either with or after you, dependent on amount or bags) is an added extra (the walk is never that far, it just adds to the customer care). The room we had was luxurious feeling, spacious and pre cooled for our arrival (in a hot climate that is another wonderfully thoughtful touch). More than one member of staff was happy to share with us the Wednesday evening activities of street food and live music, for not just guests but locals alike (the best part was they were thoughtful enough to offer guests the chance to book tables so the locals who all knew the set up didn't get there first and leave us out of the action). A magnificent evening that made the stay even more worth while.

The staff was very hospitable. We came when the hotel would have been under renovation , so we were the only family there. Overall, it was wonderful. Whenever we needed something, we called the general manager. We have no complaints! Thank you Mandela Court for a very good experience 🙏🏾💛
