“It’s a great honour for us to be voted as the #1 Best Caribbean Attraction. We are extremely grateful to everyone who voted for us! This recognition validates the work that we do in agri- tourism, and it opens more doors for us to share our passion for sustainable agriculture. More importantly, these collective wins offer tremendous visibility for Grenada and will influence visitors to our shores in a significant way!,” Compton said in a comment to Grenada Tourism Authority (GTA).
The House of Chocolate Museum placed tenth in the same category.
Paradise Beach placed second in the “Best Caribbean Beach” contest while Grand Anse Beach was sixth.

Clarke’s Court Rum Distillery, the largest distillery on the island, placed sixth in the “Best Caribbean Rum Distillery” category.
Punj-abi Restaurant placed sixth in the “Best Restaurant in the Caribbean” category and The Aquarium Restaurant came in ninth.
CEO of the Grenada Tourism Authority Petra Roach was excited about the island’s top placements in the competitions.
“Grenada is a top performer in the Caribbean and having eight winners spread across the various categories comes as no surprise. We have been soaring in visitor arrivals and coupled with our digital marketing strategy the additional exposure for our local businesses and products has no doubt assisted in the multiple nominations and winning spot. We are committed to ensuring that when visitors come to our island, they are exploring everything that is brand Grenada. We anticipate even more local winners in next year’s contest,” she stated.
