Villa Amarillo

Anna and Shirmely really did hit their mark! I can't tell you how wonderful the service was. While the house surpassed all my expectations, the service was the finest I have ever had and I am a FREQUENT user of VRBO.com and Homeaway.com. I rent a villa throughout the world at least once a year and this is by far the finest service I have ever been treated to. You honestly can NOT go wrong staying here.
Rooms are downright COLD at night with great A/C. Decor is wonderful, balconies abound, etc.. etc...
Bedrooms are all very spacious and no sooner have you left your room to take a dip in the pool and it's already all cleaned up, bed made, laundry folded, bathroom organized, etc.. etc..

Anna did an amazing job organizing everyhing for us from tours to dinners, to transportation and Shirmely took care of the service at the Villa. The place was perfect for us (4 married couples of 35 years of age after a long sailing trip).
Sweetest ladies in the southern Caribbean, I have no doubt.

Perfect decompression location.

This beautiful home is even better than the descriptions and pictures in every aspect and there is really no good reason to stay anywhere else on the warm and welcoming island of Grenada. Our family met up in Grenada from both coasts of the US for one of our more memorable vacations. Villa Amarillo was just spectacular with the views, the artwork and decor and best of all, five star service. The villa owner and manager, Anna, arranged for us to be picked up at the airport and then for our car rental to be delivered to our home the following morning including issueing our Grenadan drivers licences right in the dining room. The house was so spacious and comfortable with enormous bedroom suites and a beautiful wrap around porch with views of the ocean, a perfect place to enjoy meals. We loved the wonderful swimming pool and beautiful gardens.
We were so priveleged to have the services of Shirmely, our warm and friendly housekeeper and cook. She kept the villa sparkling clean, did our laundry and cooked all of our dinners for us, She served us breakfast in the mornings on the porch and went with us to the grocery store and fish market. We are a group of foodies who enjoy well spiced food that is healthy and I can honestly say that we are still talking about the wonderful fish roti, dirty rice with chicken, baked herbed fish, callilou soup, local vegetables and salads that she made for us.
Anna, Shirmely, Fiona (who rented us the car) and Donnelle who came late one night to fix our television provided us with the kind of concierge service that rivals the Four Seasons Hotels!
Other than eating out at the wonderful Aquarium Restaurant (strongly recommended by our "concereirge) we ate most meals at home. The beach at the Aquarium Restaurant was also fun to hang out at before and after our lunch. We loved the Belmont Estate, Bathaway Beach, snorkeling expedition to the underwater sculpture park, the Nutmeg Plant, the local markets, the garden tours and rain forest but the higlight for all of us was seeing the leatherback turtles laying their eggs on the beach under the light of a full moon at midnight. That was a once in a lifetime magical experience. And then we would come home to a home cooked meal from Shirmely!
We would wholeheartedly recommend that you stay at Villa Amarillo! We felt relaxed, pampered and very well taken care of. Thanks for a great vacation and for some wonderful memories!

Renting a villa on an island you don't know is a risky undertaking. Let me put your mind at rest with respect to Villa Amarillo. The villa is every bit as beautiful as the photos promise. But better than that - the villa is clean, everything works, the daily help is charming and more than helpful (beds & room cleaning, laundry, fresh towels, breakfast, lunch/dinner on request), the privacy is complete. This is everything that it advertises and more.
True Blue is arguably the best residential area in Grenada, quiet and secure. The villa is high and enjoys a constant breeze. The living area is open and enjoys said breeze; the bedrooms all have very effective air conditioning and fans. The food - notably the fruit - is excellent and well prepared.
Two blocks away is the True Blue resort, so you can always walk down the street for a meal or beverage if you want to. The best restaurants in Grenada are within 10-15 minutes, as are some of the best beaches, including Grand Anse. We would recommend renting a car - or better a jeep - to access a different beach each day. (Alternatively you can make an arrangement with a friendly local cabbie). We would also recommend hiring a cab if you want to explore the island, especially the interior (hiking to the waterfalls is fun), because the roads are narrow, and let's just say the driving norms are specific to the island (yelling greetings to fellow cabbies and friends included).
So there is plenty to do, and Villa Amarillo is an ideal base to do as much or as little of those things as you want to.
Anna, mine hostess, is most helpful. Go stay at Villa Amarillo. Then you can write a review to give your unique take on why this is a wonderful idea.
