Grenada's Favorite Resort Completes Suite Refurbishment
The Calabash Hotel and Villas is on the Grenada Stand, Caribbean Village, WTM 2005
LONDON, UK, November 9, 2005. The Calabash Hotel and Villas, Grenada's favourite luxury resort, has completed the multi-million dollar refurbishment of its 30 suites, contained in ten cottages and set amongst acres of tropical gardens bordering Prickly Bay Cove in the south of the island.
The new d'ecor and luxurious furnishings, designed by British designers Sally Harcourt International, have given the suites a light, bright environment where guests can enjoy every comfort expected from a leading luxury resort. They now feature contemporary furniture with an Art Deco twist, hand built from maple and cherry wood by craftsmen based in the UK. Careful consideration has been given to colour choice and different themes have been introduced to fit the four different suite categories available.
Each air conditioned suite, all of which feature whirlpool baths, now has its own character whilst still offering a continuity of style throughout the hotel. Rugs have been designed for each scheme and hand tufted in India and original artwork is now featured in the rooms. Beautiful curtains, valances, cushions and throws have been made in striking yet sophisticated fabrics and the final touch involves crisp white Egyptian cotton bed linen and subtle lighting.
All the suites now boast an elegant and luxurious air which, combined with the Calabash's romantic setting, the courteous staff and the only Gary Rhodes 'rhodes restaurant' outside the UK, makes the resort one of the finest and most popular hotels in the Caribbean.
Guests staying at The Calabash can enjoy complimentary non-motorised water sports, a floodlit tennis court, snooker room, aromatherapy and reflexology centre and fitness room, boutique and large guest swimming pool.
Complimentary green fees are offered at the Grenada Golf Club course a few minutes drive from the resort. The hotel can arrange fishing trips, yacht charters, car hire and day tours.
The Calabash Hotel and Villas is featured in all leading UK luxury tour operators' brochures including Azury Luxury Hotel Collection, Elegant Resorts, ITC Classics and Caribtours. Further information on the resort can be found by visiting www.calabashhotel.com
