Conferencing - The Grenadian by Rex Resorts
T
here are a few things that set
“The Grenadian by Rex Resorts”
apart from the other hotel
offerings on the island of Grenada.
Commonly referred to as “The Rex”
the resort feels like one part hotel, one
part nature sanctuary and another
part conference centre. Set on over
30 acres of prime real estate, the
property is one of the largest on island
& has artfully designed paths and
small bridges connecting it’s 3 lakes
together. Waterfalls cascade on bijoux
islands within the lake and are home
to over 25 species of the most beautiful
birds in the Caribbean. Guests enjoy
walking or jogging the nature trail, as
well as enjoying 2 stunning beaches
on Grenada’s south west coast.
“The Rex”, part of a Caribbean
collection of hotels that include hotels
in St. Lucia, Antigua, Barbados, and
Tobago, is less than a few minutes
away from Grenada’s International
Airport and the resort remains one
of the larger hotels on the island
with 212 rooms. Including deluxe
oceanview suites, the resort appeals to
those looking to get married, families
and of course business travellers due
to their comprehensive conferencing
facilities. Even British Royalty have
stayed at “The Rex”!

well as medical conferences for St.

can
accommodate
any style of seating arrangement,
and typically has a maximum of
160 people in one room and smaller
break-out rooms can be supplied as
well. Ms. Marsh adds “The entire
hotel is fully equipped with wireless
internet and services can include full
catering, cocktail parties and even
Teleconferencing.”
General Manager Arlene Marsh shares,

In recent years “Sport Tourism” has
become a niche market for the hotel,
typically hosting Cricket, Football,
& Volleyball Teams and very often
all the Media that comes with them.
Ms. Marsh adds “The Rex will be one
of the major hotels for CONCACAF
(The
Confederation
of
North,
Central American and Caribbean
Association Football) in 2016”. This
will be a prestigious sporting event
for Grenada that will also showcase

Truly a perfect location for any
occasion, the understated Rex, is a
favourite for beach weddings and just
to reinforce this, guests that stay for
14 nights qualify for a free Wedding
Package at a value of $700US! The
“
Resort is also home to the largest
annual New Year’s Eve party on
Island, boasting attendance in excess
of 1,500 party goers, and usually an
internationally acclaimed artist(s)
that fly in specially to perform
for the event. An advantage that
is becoming increasingly popular
amongst the local population, is the
decision to book a room at the resort
for “old years night”, party the night
away, and don’t worry about the
drive home, as your air conditioned
room awaits.
As an all-inclusive resort, meals
and drinks are included in the
room price, and guests have a
choice of 3 restaurants on site, “The
Cinnamon” and “The Spice” feature
local and international cuisine, and
“The Oriental” serves up Indian,
Malaysian and Thai fare. All are
open to the public and proper attire
is required in the evenings. Guests
have a choice of attractions, with an
onsite spa, gym and tennis courts,
and for young families, they offer
babysitting
facilities.
Courteous
helpful staff guide visitors through
a most comfortable stay in a pure
Grenadian hospitable way.
