Thank you Zoe! You are always helpful on social media. For potential expats, I would like to see different types of neighborhoods, dwellings (condos, houses, affordable, luxury, etc.) and a grocery store tour and prices, local food market selections. Interviews with other expats would be helpful too.
We stayed there whilst you were there. It really is a lovely hotel resort. Great location and grounds, inviting beach and friendly staff. Your video captured a memorable time for us. Thanks Zoe!
Thanks Stephen, I couldn't agree with you more. It's a gorgeous place and the staff really are incredibly helpful and friendly. Hope to bump into you and your wife in Grenada again soon 😉
@Zoe Brown The food was ok , not the best standard I have had , the indian restaurant was the best. We have been to many 5 star hotels but the food was a let down. We ate out 3 times due to this but I think it has got better now.
Yes! I scheduled that video by mistake 🤦🏾♀️. Details of the new channel will follow shortly. In fact, I'll make sure to post the link under your comment. Thanks a million for your interest!
This is the thing i never understood, so many come on holiday but dont see that this could be their life every single day! what more could you ask for??
Great video thanks!❤️❤️ Are all meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner are inclusive? What room I have to book exactly so I can get the nice connected pool and sea view?
We are in Canada looking to escape to a covid friendly resort in February. We are considering going to the Royalton ( 6 adults over 65 years old). How many restaurants are open and what types? What about entertainment? The resort seems empty or is it the time of day? Appreciate your insight. We want to see Grenada. What are your thoughts about Sandals?
Hi there were three restaurants open when I was there - Taj (Indian), Grazie (Italian) and the main restaurant (International buffet). There were also a couple of beach bars serving food and a pop up restaurant on the beach on Saturday. There was entertainment scheduled across each day (you can check the timetable from the TV in your room) and we definitely enjoyed the live music on the Saturday night. I wouldn't say it was empty but I definitely loved the fact that we were able to enjoy the hotel before it is packed with guests when it's closer to capacity. As for how it compares to Sandals, I've never stayed so I can't really say. Do take time to explore Grenada beyond the hotel - it really is an amazing island!
Hey, great choice of hotel. Yes, there was both daytime and nite time entertainment which we enjoyed. There's a daily schedule of activities that you can view from your hotel room. Have a great stay!
Your joy is obvious. Thanks for sharing. BTW, if you recorded 30 minutes of nothing but waves, I'd watch it every day. I grew up in California, currently living in Texas. I miss the water SO MUCH.
How about listing what the Royalton is this giving back to Grenadians. Gran Anse is slowly but surely becoming a metropolis for major hotels like; Silver Sands; Sandels… How much trade is this taking away from ordinary folk..
There is so much more to Grenada than swanky hotels, Please catch a bus into town or Give the beach sellers a moment if your time to buy some their handmade goods, instead of the overpriced malls and hotel shops. You know whatever you buy is going directly to the local people. You’ll feel better for it…
I hear you Loydie but, having spoken to a number of guests at the hotel, many people just want to kick back by a pool and enjoy a flow of food and drinks and have little interest in exploring the island. That's just a reality of the tourism market. Would I put myself in that category? No. Would I cover another all-inclusive resort in Grenada? Probably not. But I think it's important to acknowledge that there are all sorts of people looking for all sorts of experiences in Grenada - including those who want to spend 7 days without stepping a foot outside their hotel. How Grenadians benefit from this is a great question. It would be interesting to hear what the Grenada Tourism Authority says about this...
@@ExodusCollective I’ve just arrived home having spent another 2 weeks of bliss in the country of my heritage. What you describe, is exactly the problem being experienced right now. Sadly, even the younger ones, the black well healed and educated, the children of our ancestors that made the sacrifice of travelling across the world to seek prosperity seem to convey the same ignorance as white peoples. I say, Go visit Carriacou for the day, or if you’re adventurous take a stiff walk into town, or catch the bus and visit the spice market. Take the children to visit the Grenada museum, give them the opportunity to savour and understand a bit about their heritage and culture. Even, Observing fisherman preparing there lines, on the selling there fish to the locals on the carrenage. This is the real deal Grenada..
@@lloydielloydie821 we spend our weekends in St Patricks so thankfully my kids regularly get to experience a side of Grenada that differs significantly from life in town. A trip to Carriacou is overdue but we made it to Sandy Island a few weeks ago - video coming soon 😉. Thanks for taking the time to comment 🙏🏾
@@ExodusCollective no problem. Love to try and do something positive for the Grenadian people. I have a few ideas, which hopefully tourist will buy into. I’d welcome your input…
Had a terrible experience at this property on February 7th, 2022. I was on a day pass and was hit in the head. The resort tried everything under the sun N0T to accept responsibilty via a disclaimer even when the disclaimer doesn't cover me lying on a lounge chair. My Attorney has been notified in the event something happens to me to sue the living daylights out of them. A mere scan to find out if there was any swelling in my brain. Don't stay at this propert. I am happy to show anyone the emails.
@@mayebouee8099 It's not as simple as that. There was game between Staff & Guests. When that was completed we went to lounger closer to the beach on the lounge chairs. We were not the only ones. The problem is the management. I certainly plan on dissuading locals and the like not to go on property. I guess they have never heard of 'service recovery'. And I should know as an Int'l Hospitality Hospitality Consultant.

Thanks Patrice, great to hear from you! I love those suggestions - I'll definitely start planning some content that covers those areas.
Gorgeous! Grenada is breathtaking!! Thanks for the tour, Zoe, and great to see you back and setting up to do more. Beautiful babies 💗
Thanks, yes it's been a while! Guess I've adapted to island time a little too well 😆
Goodness, the beautiful scenery, the beach, just wonderful. I think it's a great idea to showcase Grenada outdoors here and the new channel.
Thanks Jen🙏🏾
Great hotel beautiful beach lovely kids very much having lots of fun 😊😊
The beach is stunning isn't it?!
So happy to see you back! Happy Birthday to son! 🎊🎁🎈🎉 Beautiful place!🏖🏝

@@ExodusCollective working on it.

Great video , Me and my wife lived in Grenada 6 years ago and loved it. We are going to the Rpyalton this month. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Your most welcome. Hope your stay at the Royalton is a welcome return to the island. Have a great trip!
Hi Roberto! Can I ask how your stay was? How was the food?
@Zoe Brown The food was ok , not the best standard I have had , the indian restaurant was the best. We have been to many 5 star hotels but the food was a let down. We ate out 3 times due to this but I think it has got better now.
@@robertobalasco4759 Aww man, that’s a bummer! Happy y’all found at least one good food spot. Thanks a million for
your reply!
Beautiful Resort…it’s great to unwind and relax…and the major plus it’s kid friendly❤️😊
Very kid friendly - I'd highly recommend it.
It's good to see you back. I am looking forward to contents from Island retreat channel once I get a link to the channel
The view is beautiful, the sand seems so white. Happy birthday to your son
Yes! I scheduled that video by mistake 🤦🏾♀️. Details of the new channel will follow shortly. In fact, I'll make sure to post the link under your comment. Thanks a million for your interest!
@@Cindy4ctv yes it's a really stunning destination - I hope you get to visit it one day!
Those views is breathtaking!
They truly are 😍
Hi Zoe, would welcome your new channel with varying contents on the island. Would love to visit Grenada one day.
Thanks Elaine, I'll keep you posted. Yes - definitely Grenada should be on your bucket list (even if I'm slightly biased 😊)
Hi there Zoe ,what a beautiful resort I must say it's on my must visit list .
Glad you liked it!
Happy birthday to your son! I how he had the best birthday and that all the kids had a blast. Looking forward to more content💜
Thanks lady! Hope your son is doing well too. When are you back???

@@sowelljessed yay, let the countdown begin! And yes to the IRL catch up. I'll DM you xx
Thank you Zoe, I am planning to start my 60th birthday celebrations in Grenada and this hotel looks ideal 🙏🏽✨
Yes, it's definitely a fun destination!
Thanks Zoe, you look like you’re living your best life! 😊
Lol, trust me my day to day life is very different 😃
I'm grenadian...welcome to the island
Thank you 🙏🏾
This is the thing i never understood, so many come on holiday but dont see that this could be their life every single day! what more could you ask for??
Beautiful views, looks real peaceful 👍👍
Good afternoon very lovely picture and nice video.
Great video thanks!❤️❤️
Are all meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner are inclusive?
What room I have to book exactly so I can get the nice connected pool and sea view?
breathtaking
Isn't it just?! 🏝️
Looks amazing there Zoe enjoy :)
Thanks, it was a much needed change of scene after all of the lockdown weekends we had on the island!
@@ExodusCollective absolutely :)
Yes, I'd be interested in videos that feature what the island has to offer for visitors or expats.
Thank you! I'll keep you posted (hope you've subscribed) 😉

Absolutely gorgeous
Yes it is.
Very much so. I want to go back...
That's a beautiful hotel
Right?!
Call of out the window to the house 😂
Hello. I will be staying at the Royalton Grenada in Dec. How was the nightly entertainment? Any daytime activities on the resort?
Hey, great choice of hotel. Yes, there was both daytime and nite time entertainment which we enjoyed. There's a daily schedule of activities that you can view from your hotel room. Have a great stay!
nice, thank you for sharing .
thanks! love your channel!!
@@ExodusCollective thank you 😊❤️
Oh!! How i miss spice isle
Your joy is obvious. Thanks for sharing. BTW, if you recorded 30 minutes of nothing but waves, I'd watch it every day.
I grew up in California, currently living in Texas. I miss the water SO MUCH.
Thanks, that's actually not a bad idea 🌊😊
looks nice outside but what about night entertainment and the food ?
Are there any all inclusive family resorts in Grenada? We are planing a family reunion in Grenada in approximately 2 years. Thanks for the content.
Hi the Royalton is the only family-friendly all-inclusive in Grenada that I'm aware of. Sandals does not allow kids on its premises.
Very Nice
How about listing what the Royalton is this giving back to Grenadians.
Gran Anse is slowly but surely becoming a metropolis for major hotels like; Silver Sands; Sandels…
How much trade is this taking away from ordinary folk..
Oops, I answered this comment in the reply above.
Is the resort all-inclusive?
Yes it is 😊
@@ExodusCollective, thank you. I'll be there in June.
@@travelingwithprince1585 nice, I hope you enjoy your stay!
