True Blue Bay is a family-owned boutique resort featuring vibrant multi-coloured buildings that are perched over a shimmering waterfront.
Located a short 10 minute drive east of Maurice Bishop International Airport, True Blue Bay Boutique Resort is ideally located on the southern end of the island, a stones throw from many of Grenada’s most popular tourist attractions.
Ranked as one of the best boutique hotels in Grenada, True Blue Bay is a family-friendly resort offering spacious accommodations, tasty Caribbean-inspired restaurant and bar, tropical spa, 4 swimming pools and nightly live entertainment.
In the 1980s the property was a simple 7-room inn. By 1998 the Fielden family bought the property and embarked on an extensive expansion and renovation project, transforming it into an impressive 70-room hotel.
Current owners Russ and Magdalena have played instrumental roles in the design and construction of the rooms, bringing their backgrounds in engineering and architecture to the evolution of the resort.
The eco-friendly and sustainably minded resort features climate-smart rooms outfitted with ethically sourced furniture. The hotel is also powered by solar panels, which help charge the properties fleet of electric vehicles used to transfer guests to the airport and nearby beaches.
Checking In At True Blue Bay Boutique Resort

Attentive staff ensure that guests’ bags are promptly loaded onto golf carts and taken to their rooms. Guests also have the option of being escorted to their rooms in the golf cart for added convenience and comfort.
The current interior design of True Blue Bay Resort was envisioned by Mexican owner, Magdalena Fielden, whose inspiration stems from the rich cultural tapestry of her homeland as well as the vibrant hues of the Caribbean.
Infused with the colourful aesthetics of postcard-perfect Caribbean villages, Magdalena aimed to create a lively, tropical ambiance throughout the property. Stroll along meandering pathways and you’ll find fruit trees where you can pluck fresh limes, mangoes and papayas.
A scenic boardwalk stands on stilts along the shore, connecting the hotel’s restaurant with the rum bar, pools and onsite scuba shop.
Once you’ve slid on your flip flops, skip out of your room to explore the resorts restaurants, spa, gym, and swimming pools.
