Spent two nights at the Grand View and wish we had more time to stay. The rooms are small, but very clean and comfortable. Apartments are available also and might be the better choice if planning on spending time at the hotel for other than sleeping. Views from the balconies are breathtaking; our room overlooked the bay, the town of Hillsborough, and the hillsides.

Food is excellent, reasonably priced, and plates attractively presented. Staff is pleasant and accomodating of guests needs.

The pool area is inviting with ample chairs, lounges, and a gazebo. Breezes are almost constant, so no overheating while relaxing by the pool.

It is a short walk into town for shopping, a dip in the bay, or a change of pace for dining.

Anyone looking for a relaxing, refreshing vacation should consider Carriacou and the Grand View.

We stayed at the Grandview for a week and a half in October of 2005 and really enjoyed our experience there.
The place we had chosen (John's) was closed up tight when we arrived on the late ferry (we had not made reservations), so we proceeded to Grandview instead.
Shirley - the owner/manager - did not have an A/C room available that night, but she found us a room for the night, and then moved us into an apt. with A/C the next day.
The rooms are not fancy but are nice, spotlessly clean and the beds are comfy.
We stayed in two different apts. while we were there, and one had a much larger bathroom than the other, with better water pressure, but the first one had a bigger bedroom with larger beds, so it was a trade-off.
The apts. have a full kitchen with stove, large fridge and sink. Prices for food on the island are high, so being able to eat in for breakfast and some other meals helps defray costs.
The view from some of the front rooms is really pretty - over hills to town and the sea beyond. We have stayed in a lot of oceanfront properties, and it was nice to be up above with an expansive view for a change.
The pool area is lovely (there's a charming gazebo), and is GREAT for cooling off after a long day.
We only ate at the hotel a few times, but the food was always very good - healthy and tasty.
One of the best things about the Grandview is that it is close enough to town to walk.
We are planning to return in a few months, and will stay at the Grandview again.
