Garden Resort in Grenada has introduced a no smoking in-
room policy applicable to all 32 accommodations. This new policy does not make Blue Horizons a no smoking resort; guests can smoke on the patios or in any open-air space throughout the property. We instituted this policy in order to keep the air in our
guest rooms clean and fresh, which is right in line with our efforts to enact green measures throughout the property, said Arnold Hopkin, owner/manager of Blue Horizons
Garden Resort, a Green Globe benchmarked hotel for its impressive environmental initiatives. Blue Horizons re-opened in July 2005 following a $1.5 million refurbishment project. The new interior and exterior color scheme of ivories, tans, and shades of green complemented by six acres of lush vegetation, colorful flowers and gently chirping birds creates a tranquil atmosphere that lets guests return to the softer side of nature in a delightful Caribbean paradise. The resort features 32 spacious accommodations in
superior studio and
