Grenada is wonderfully laid-back and the perfect setting for some serious battery re-charging! The fragrant scents of nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and ginger rarely leave you in this sleepy ‘Spice Island of the Caribbean’.With a handful of excellent hotels and restaurants which ooze with charm, The palm-fringed beaches
are glorious but so too is the back-drop of lush rainforests,waterfalls, plantations, lakes and one of the region's prettiest harbours, St George's. Grenada really is
one of the most diverse of the Caribbean islands.Dance to local Calypso bands on Bathway Beach on a public holiday (the beach is otherwise fabulously deserted); or
take the hydrofoil across to the sister island of Carriacou for some scuba-diving or snorkelling.
Did you know....?
"Black gold" in Grenada refers to nutmeg which grows prolifically throughout the
island – Grenada is the second largest producer of nutmeg in the world.
Food & Drink
French Creole-style dishes are typical on local menus.Grenada is famous for its Oil
Down (callalloo and other vegetables, meat/fish, coconut milk and spices all cooked together). A couple of great snacks are Roti – chick pea dough wrapped around spicy meat or fish curry – and Stuffed Crab Back.
Restaurants
Dinner at rhodes Restaurant at The Calabash is always a treat.Away from the hotels, we recommend Aquarium Beach Club, especially the lobster barbecue on Sundays, Coconut Beach (with your toes in the sand as you eat), Le Petit Bacaye (Westerhall) and Bel Air Plantation.
