Mt Cinnamon Resort & Beach Club, Grenada: Sustaining Mind and Body
Located on Grenada’s famously beautiful Grand Anse Beach, Mount Cinnamon Resort & Beach Club captures views across to the inlet of St. George’s Harbor and the beautiful, verdant mountain range at the center of the island.
Every day the management and staff at Mount Cinnamon are committed to delivering a truly sustainable tourism experience. All single use plastics, including straws and food containers have been eliminated. Recycling is a top priority including composting of organics and use of manure in gardens. The resort believes that when it comes to their environment, that beyond doing no harm, they should protect and enhance, meaning a dedication to keeping their community and beaches clean from litter.
Mount Cinnamon also supports the West Indies School of Hospitality (WISH) and its collaboration with E-Cornell and The Culinary Institute of America. Mount Cinnamon staff members can enroll in WISH courses and are then supported via scholarships funded by Mount Cinnamon. The aim of the scholarship program is to educate local Grenadians for a career in the Island’s essential industry – tourism and hospitality.
Leading its commitment to protecting the local environment and culture, Mount Cinnamon has launched its original Grenada Menu. Grenada is blessed with rich farmlands based on extremely fertile soil and a favorable climate, while the island is also surrounded by a bountiful Caribbean Sea.
Nearly every ingredient in the Grenada Menu (excluding beef and dairy) is locally harvested and, to greatly reduce food waste, the resort prefers an a la carte style for its guest enjoyment instead of typical buffet servings. Mount Cinnamon chooses to support Grenada’s farming and fishing communities and invests in its own plantation for organic produce. The result is the freshest flavors for guests to savoir and the ongoing investment in and promotion of local producers.
