We are planning to go on a vacation in August possibly the middle or end. We have stayed at Cocos Hotel (boutique all inclusive) in Antigua, Iberostar Grand in Punta Cana, and Jamaica Inn (boutique all inclusive) in Montego Bay Jamaica. Our favourite by far was Jamaica Inn, we feel we have been spoiled because of it. We are looking for a beautiful beach, nice weather, quiet resort, all inclusive option, and not Mexico or Cuba. We are a late twenties couple that likes to be lazy on the beach, eat amazing food, and get to know the island we visit. We tend to like the smaller hotel vibe but wouldn't mind going to a bigger one too . We like 4 star or higher. Price range around 2/2500 a person for the week plus flight. We would love to visit Grenada but are nervous as it's hurricane season. We want to visit a place we never have visited yet. Any ideas? Help would much appreciated.
Quiet all inclusive
At the moment there are only 2 dedicated AIs - Rex by Grenadian which is somewhat dated, so it's very reasonably priced, however I think Sandals LaSource would probably be more to your liking. With being at the bottom end of the Lesser Antilles chain of islands, hurricanes tend to bypass Grenada - it is seldom hit by storms. If you want guaranteed good weather without the danger of storms check out the ABC islands - Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao
The spice island hotel is an excellent medium size 5 star without the loud stuff you get at sandals. If you prefer a quiet small place look at petit anse hotel. Both can do AI but its optional. Most prefer to eat out a lot, as food and drink is reasonably cheap generally.
If you dont want to risk a hurricane dont go to the caribbean, look at the indian ocean, maldives, mauritius, seychelles.
I haven't been, but I'm your age and looking for very much the same thing as you, and Mount Hartman Bay Estate looks great to me - they have an AI option and are in your price range.
Spice Island Beach Resort is AI high end with top notch service. Not sure you can get a week for that cost though. Would agree with Mount Hartman Bay Estate. It's a fairly new hotel out of the way, looks very laid back.
Hurricane season would not put me off going to Grenada. Just be sure to get travel insurance that covers hurricanes.

My vote is for the Spice Island Beach Resort, it seems to fit what you are looking for.
see my review.
Enjoy the quiet north of the island. Two upscale places. Petite Anse a boutique style hotel and
Summerhill Bed + Beyond, an eco chic B+B. I believe both are in your price range.
Stayed in spice island at end of august a few years ago, was very quiet. Beach lovely. Chilled out resort, no loud music or entertainment. Food reasonable. I suspect you can get for around your price mark as summer is low season in carribbean.
