The Mount Cinnamon Beach Resort in West Indies’ Grenada is set to undergo renovation, aiming to revitalise its facilities.

This resort has commissioned local architect Irina Kostka for the redesign.

According to a Hotel Management report, the resort will temporarily close next month to facilitate the renovation of the restaurant, pool, bar, and lounge areas within the main building.

The Hacienda Suites and Villas within the property will also receive soft updates.

Upon completion of this renovation work, the resort, which is associated with the West Indies School of Hospitality, is due to reopen in the first week of October.

Kostka plans to introduce a 360° bar and revamp the pool area with lounge styling, a floating stage for entertainment, and a new speciality coffee shop. 

The resort has 36 hillside suites and villas, as well as offers access to a 3km beach.  

It is recognised for its sustainability efforts as a Green Globe-certified entity and the first Caribbean member of the UN Global Compact Network. 

Guests can enjoy various amenities, including the Cinnamon Spa, a new beachside wellness deck, a Peloton gym, a yoga studio, and tennis and beach volleyball courts. 

In 2022, the Mount Cinnamon Resort was acquired by Grenada-based businessman Barry Collymore from his business colleague Peter de Savary.

Hotel Management quoted Collymore as saying: “We are investing significant resources in this upgrade to Mount Cinnamon Beach Resort because of the confidence I have in the Grenada tourism industry.

“The building is still almost in its original form from the 1980s and the focus for this project is to put a modern spin on the design, which will accentuate the character of the building rather than erase it.

“We want our guests to enjoy an authentic Caribbean experience and that will continue to come across in the new design. Sustainability and community are also very important to the resort and we are using local architects, contractors and many local materials where possible in the renovations.”
