True Blue Bay is conveniently close to the airport and the main beaches of Grenada. The building is like a child’s playpen, a multicoloured arrangement of graphic shapes and designs. The rooms and apartments are just as colourful, quite basic but pleasant with small balconies furnished with reclining chairs overlooking the harbour, it is a lovely place to quietly enjoy a glass of wine and watch the sunset.

We were in a waterfront suite, sweetly decorated with an abundance of fuchsia petals. All the rooms are furnished in bright acid colours with quirky metalwork sea creatures adorning the walls. Surprisingly, our bathroom was quite high-tech with a four-spray shower and luxurious Gilhurst & Soames toiletries.

Dodgy dock restaurant is a little mediocre with a menu of overpriced comfort food. Breakfast was a disappointment too, with just a simple selection of fruit, cereal and bread from which to choose.

The pool is the place to be, a picturesque man-made beach/infinity pool. We spent a nice afternoon reading here, though be warned there is very little shade so go prepared. An aquanaut centre seemed to be popular at the sea’s edge through it wasn’t advertised to us and we didn’t investigate it further.

True Blue Bay entertains guests daily with creative activities: cooking classes, beachside dance lessons, cocktail happy hour and live music. Although this hotel seems to cater for a young crowd, the guests we saw were more mature enjoying a quiet holiday. True Blue Bay is a fun and easy place to stay and at less than £100 a night for two, it’s a good budget holiday option.
