Great website man. When I came across your website I thought you were a hotel owner and living in Grenada. Typical Caribbean thing eh having a pen/nick name too. If you were like me, it may have been one of your friends or parents who called you by that name then it just stuck. Mine’s cyphas.

Anyway, I’ve seen you mentioned some great villas in Grenada but not any “Luxurious ” ones. My recommendation is Winward at Prickly Bay http://www.windwardpricklybay.com

Having left the Caribbean over a decade now, the British weather here makes me appreciate that back home. It’s not your typical holiday hotel – It’s living the life some movie stars enjoy. The boat is great sport…for men -leaving the wife behind to enjoy herself at the spa.
How often do you go back there? I’m from Vincy but looking to explore the entire Caribbean (before I’m too old)

All the best!

Owned by Philip and Annie Clift, it has the most breathtaking views over the Grenadine Islands. Their casual dress code means you don’t have to pack the entire wardrobe. Their chef Jamie is a treasure who makes EVERYTHING from scratch including sausages, a mouthwatering range of breads and many types of ice cream to name but a few. Most of the vegetables are actually grown in Philip and Annie’s garden which makes the hotel truly eco-friendly and macrobiotic to boot.

It’s the most stunning drive to reach their idyllic honeymoon paradise, close to Levera Beach and the turtles too …

They are Grenada’s No.1 hotel outside of St George’s area according to Trip Advisor and SERIOUSLY well deserve that fantastic accolade.

Have you tried Lance Aux Epines Cottages I know someone who always stay there and loves it.. It’s right on a beach and not too secluded, hopefully it’s within your budget.

If you cannot find something right smack dab on the beach within your price range then consider looking at something that’s a *little* further out but easily accessible, Grenada is so small that you are almost always 10 – 15 drive to a beach front.

Regardless I do hope you make it to Grenada February to escape the frigid winter and raving fans. And if you do please send me a couple pics or tell me what you liked best about Grenada.

As for shore fishing, there are a few places you can still do that in the south of the island (most likely close to where you will be staying) even though that area is quite built up. The challenge is that you will need someone who knows the area to guide you. Fort juedy, true blue, lance aux pines, point salines, quarantine station, edgemont, … all of these areas have decent spots but you have to know how to find them.

You can give my friend Adrian at Native Spirit Scuba (http://www.grenada-beaches.com/grenada-attractions/native-spirit-scuba/) a call and he can sort you out with regards to snorkeling and fishing.

Hope this helps. Enjoy the trip in stay in touch.

Thank you for the quick reply! BTW – Your website is great. Love all the photos and the details about great fun in Grenada. I had a friend tell me to also check out Jenny’s Place. Any feedback? The island looks like so much fun. My kids are way into snorkeling, so getting them off the beach will be a challenge. All of us love Rotis, so I enjoyed your article on them and we are looking forward to chowing down on a lot of them. The Friday Fish Fry is also high on my personal list. I am also interested in fishing while we are there. Do you know any good spots that I can fish from the shore or wade fish? I am also looking for local boat charters to try my hand at some offshore fishing. I hope that I am not throwing too many questions at you, it is just that we are excited about our trip and you have proven to be quite the expert.

Best,

John

I also copied Nick Hughes from http://www.spiceislevillas.com, he is the man to talk to if you want to stay at a villa.

If you do make it to Grenada please write back and let me know what you liked best.

We have never visited the beautiful island of Grenada. We are a family of 4 with 2 kids (ages 7 and 8). Do you know of any villas/cottages we should consider? We would like to be beach front and be able to snorkel right off the beach.

Look forward to your recommendations.

Thanks – John
