About our President and Managing Director

Ms. Janelle M. Hopkin is President and Managing Director of Spice Island Beach Resort. A graduate of the prestigious Glion Institute of Higher Education in Montreux, Switzerland, she holds a Bachelor of Arts degree with honors in Business Administration and Hospitality Management.

Upon completing her studies, Ms. Hopkin embarked on several management internships, most notably at the Four Seasons Hotel, Park Lane, and the Royal Garden Hotel, High Street Kensington in London. These experiences were extremely formative as they helped to crystallize her vision and influence the development of her now-established philosophy on how high-end Caribbean hospitality should be delivered.

After returning home in 2006, Janelle spent the next fourteen (14) years learning all aspects of the business under the watchful eye and tutelage of her father, the late Sir Royston Hopkin KCMG, the founder of Spice Island Beach Resort and its former Chairman and Managing Director.

Starting as a Management Trainee, Janelle worked her way through the ranks, with key stops as the Manager of the Rooms Division and Assistant Food and Beverage Manager, eventually rising to the post of Deputy Managing Director in 2015. From that point, she worked closely with Sir Royston until she was appointed his successor in March 2020.

Since taking the reins, Janelle has astutely and successfully steered the business through one of its most difficult periods, the COVID-19 pandemic, and has subsequently embarked on an ambitious undertaking to transform the resort to meet the evolving needs of current and future consumers.

A proud mother of one, Janelle has served on the Board of Directors of the Grenada Tourism Authority since 2022. She also serves as a Trustee on the Board of the Queen Elizabeth Home for Children where her passion for the underprivileged and disadvantaged shines through.
