Mount Cinnamon

This is a lovely resort on one of the most stunning beaches I have ever seen. Our room was spotlessly clean, spacious and airy, with a lovely balcony to sit out on. The fridge was huge, plenty of space for nice cold drinks. The kitchen looked well equipped although we didn't self cater. Beds were really comfy, towels nice and big, and housekeeping spruced things up nicely every day. The evening delivery of delicious cookies was also much appreciated! The staff were so friendly and helpful. Garrett knew our name before he had even been introduced to us. Our checkout time was 10 am but our flight was not until the evening, and we were provided with a room to shower and change and freshen up for our flight home, which was really helpful. The restaurant, both in the main building and the beach cabana were superb and we enjoyed some delicious meals at both. The location is amazing. It is tucked away at one end of the stunning Grand Anse beach, with a very short walk through some well manicured gardens to get to the beach. There were plenty sunbeds and umbrellas and also some trees for shade, and someone was always on hand to help you with sunbeds. That end of the beach was nice and quiet, but you could enjoy a nice walk along the beach where it was livelier if you preferred. Umbrellas was a great spot for lunch or a cocktail about half way down the beach. It's also only a short transfer from the airport, a bonus after a long flight. It is an easy walk to a supermarket to stock up the fridge, and a short taxi drive to the capital, St Georges (although we did walk back from St Georges- would only recommend if you have some cloud cover!). Would also recommend Sails restaurant in St Georges. The vibe at Mount Cinnamon is laid back, friendly and chilled. A great place to relax, soak up the sun, explore the island and enjoy great food and drink. Read less

What a beautiful place! My husband, our two adult daughters, and I stayed for five nights in April in a two-bedroom villa. When we arrived in the afternoon from NY, tired and hot, we were greeted with cool damp towels and a complimentary rum punch by Garrett, who is the best host I have ever come across in all my travels! He always remembered all of our names throughout our stay, and just made us feel so welcome. Special thanks to him! As others have mentioned, the resort is indeed built into a hill, so yes, it is a very steep climb up (and down - my poor knees!) to the villas, more than I thought it was going to be, based on other reviews. If you have mobility issues, this might not be the place for you. But a shuttle van was never more than a few minutes wait when we called the desk asking for a ride up to our room. They picked us up from the Beach Cabana restaurant too. Many thanks to all our drivers! Our villa was two levels, with the master bedroom/bathroom and a laundry room on the lower level, and the other bedroom (which had two twin beds), another full bathroom, kitchen, and living room on the upper level. Both levels had a beautiful balcony with gorgeous views. The rooms were lovely, the beds among the most comfortable I have ever slept in. Housekeeping was sometimes a bit haphazard - for instance, not replacing the hand soap bar that was down to a little nub until we asked for a new one. The upper bathroom's water never got hot, just sort of room temp., and the toiletries that were in the bathrooms definitely need to be replaced. But other than that, everything was fine, down to the delicious, just-baked cookies that were delivered to our villa each evening. The beach was a 7-8 minute walk from the villa, and is stunning. Warm, clear, calm water, with plenty of sun loungers and umbrellas to be had. I loved setting ours up under the palm or sea grape trees. Very private too, just the guests of the hotel seemed to be there, as this is located at the uncrowded southern end of Grand Anse Beach. I only saw beach vendors walk by twice, and if you weren't interested in their wares, they just moved on with a smile. The Beach Cabana is a handy spot for a delicious lunch and/or a drink. The breakfast, which was included with our villa, had a nice assortment at the buffet and one could have eggs cooked to order as well. Everyone who worked there always greeted us with a hello and a smile. Just outstanding service! Thanks to all at Mount Cinnamon for a wonderful stay! Read less

Absolutely loved this resort from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. Number 1, it’s strenuous. Your villa might be at the top of the hill, there are shuttles to take you but they are infrequent and you will 100% feel that you have earned your breakfast, lunch and dinner. So definitely not for the infirm or the unfit. The property is very well kept, there are so many people tending to the gardens, the maintenance and the cleaning of rooms. The food is fabulous but if you are gluten free like me and you are there for a full week, then the options are limited, particularly at breakfast , especially if you are trying to follow a healthy diet. There are beautiful omelettes, bacon, bananas, exotic fruits and fantastic gluten free toast and more, but no cereal. The chef at breakfast was also very odd. All staff ( except for lady chef) are second to none. They are helpful, pleasant and interesting. The beach was incredible, clear sea, white sand and warm waters. Everyone had a sunbed with shade. The entertainment at the beach bonfire night was fabulous! Could not fault the holiday. The grounds of Mount Cinnamon are something else! Shout out for the snorkeling trip and the Grand Etang National Park trip with Paul, our guide. We took taxis to the spice mall, mainly because of the heat but walkable. Lots of Waitrose products and USA products and some French stuff. BBC beach next door, well worth a look and taxi to St George’s to explore, definitely go to the Chocolate House. We wish we had more time! We will return. Read less

We stayed in one of the Cinnamon Suites, which was a really good sized room with wonderful views over the sea and distant St Georges. Great to come back from the beach and sit down with a cup of tea in the room's seating area taking in the view. We stayed for 10 nights and perhaps would have liked to have had more choice on the restaurant menu. Otherwise we truly had a very relaxing time with great friendly service from the hotel staff.

We just got back from staying at Mt Cinnamon and would give it a 10/10 if we could. Absolutely wonderful service with professionalism and warmth. Beautiful grounds and ocean view suites (we didn’t mind the walk up and down a small hill however if you do they have a service). The perched location is what gives it such beautiful views of the bay and mountains. Garrett is the manager and he is wonderful. Very kind and very accommodating. We were greeted by Garrett and his smiling staff with minty cold towels and rum punches upon arrival. Make sure to visit Janelle with the spa services. We both got deep tissue massages and she was able to work out knots in my back that multiple different masseuses have not been able to before! She is very sweet. Ashton was our driver provided through the resort and he was easy to talk to and informative. He offers tours as well. Raquelle and Cecile were two of our waitresses at Savys and were also very kind and welcoming, always warm and smiling. Everyone would remember and greet us by name. I would ignore any previous reviews complaining of a wait or prices. It makes no sense to me to be blessed to visit a resort on the Caribbean and expect rushed or cheap service. Make sure to stay here if you plan on visiting Grenada! Read less
