Pro Booking Tips

  • Be sure to book a hotel in the southern end of Grenada, Grand Anse or Lance Aux Epines areas. Some places appear close to our base, but due to the roads and traffic can be an hour or more away - check with us if you have any questions before you book.
  • If it were us, we would choose La Luna every time! Be sure to check out the Monkey Bar while you are there.
  • The Radisson is in a great location - but avoid eating there. Tons of great options nearby. Be sure to have dinner - or at least a cocktail at the Beachside Bistrot, right next door to the Radisson - Khris is our favorite bartender on the island!
  • Grenada has many holidays and celebrations. Be sure check to see if there are special events you should be aware of and book accordingly.
    • August: Carnival! - flights and hotels will sell out quickly!
    • January: Grenada Sailing Week is a great time to join us. Usually the last week of January, this can be a busy time for hotels and flights.
    • Christmas: Holidays are very special in Grenada. Stores, banks, and pretty much everything will be shut down in observance of Christmas day and Boxing Day.
