We were married in Grenada with our reception at Azzurra Castle on July 24, 2004, and it was the most magnificent time we can remember. Both of our families (12 adults, 2 children, traveling from the UK and US) absolutely loved their stay at Azzurra the week before the wedding, especially the numerous "chill-out" areas for the guests. The large half-moon couch on the Castle's bayside front, with its proximity to the island breezes and spectacular view, was top-notch. Invariably, all the families congregated there several times during the week. But those looking for an escape could sleep on one of several poolside/bayside beds, and steal away for some quiet time.

The lush gardens, since cultivated after early promotional photos hit websites, were beautiful and created even more of a "tropical escape" feel. The pool, while initially I thought was quite small, perfectly accomodated the occasional afternoon dip and provided a nice setting as well.

The staff at Azzurra -- Agatha, Louise, Kathy-Anne and Duncan -- were the friendliest, sweetest and most helpful team we can remember. The meals were fantastic, and the gathering times for the families at breakfast, lunch, dinner over a home-cooked meal were priceless. Nils and Bibi, Azzurra's owners, went 200% of the way to make sure our wedding plans went smoothly, and coordinated many of the details that made our wedding beautiful. The reception at Azzurra, in their main hall, was romantically set, with flaming torches on arrival, a roaring fireplace in the lounge and candles everywhere.

Our only issues -- and these were due to nature, not Azzurra -- were the intense humidity and the ridiculous amount of bugs. Bring your bottle of "Off" and retreat to the bedrooms (or bayside couch) to cool off.

In a word, superb. We would be honored and pleased to visit Azzurra again.

Well I can say that the only thing I can say positive about Grenada was the Azzurra Castle, it was amazing and the staff there took excellent care of us. the food was to die for and the service was excellent. As for the rest of the island i would have to say that I would not return there. The beaches were nothing to write home about and the people there are just not very nice, we ate at La Luna and spent alot of money as we were 10 guests, we had to get one of the staff at the Castle to get us a reservation, as they initially wouldn't take a reservation for 10. Put it this way, the place was half empty all night, we were ordering $150 dollar bottles of wine and when we tried to get more during our meal it was as if we were bothering them. I do have to say that the service at the Aquarium was very good and the staff there was very friendly. the food at the Aquarium was much better than La Luna. Well, I did enjoy the holiday we had, but will not return to Grenada. Thanks Azzurra Castle and the Aquarium Restaurant, if it wasn't for you our trip would have been terrible.
