I was lucky enough to be invited to visit this stunning island by the Grenada Tourist Board.

Checked in at Gatwick smoothly to be informed that we were flying BA Club class.
If budget allows, this is the way to travel and I arrived well rested after a good sleep.

Grenada lived up to all my expectations; a small island (about the size of the Isle of Wight) situated in the southernmost of the Windward Islands and comprising of Grenada and her sister islands; Carriacou and Petite Martinique. The island is stunning, white sandy beaches, tropical rainforests, waterfalls, coral reefs, swaying palm trees and turquoise waters.

Grenada’s many sheltered bays makes it one of the main yachting centres in the Eastern Caribbean and its coral reefs with more than 50 great drift, reef and wreck dives makes it a perfect destination for snorkelling or diving.

For cultural and historical sites there is plenty to see, 3 military forts offering magnificent views of the harbour, St Georges the capital and the Grenada National Museum.

For thrill-seekers, we went on a Grenada Seafaris power boat tour to snorkel at the Underwater Sculpture Park, laughed as we span and swirled down the Balthazar River on river tubes and relaxed on a beautiful sunset sailing cruise whilst we were served champagne on the Shadow Fax.

As the island is small, the people incredibly friendly and the scenery stunning, I would recommend to rent a car and possibly consider a 2 centre holiday.

There is accommodation available to suit all tastes and budgets and I visited many different properties on the island from large all inclusive resorts, self catering apartments, luxury villas, beachside cottages and small intimate boutique style properties ideal for honeymoons.

The native Grenadian cuisine is delicious and we dined in both local restaurants and top hotels. I can especially recommend the Gary Rhodes restaurant at the Calabash Hotel, the food and surroundings were just perfect for a special occasion.

Grenada has retained its Caribbean charm and I loved it.
