Anyone have any recent insight as to why Young Island is getting such mixed reviews on Google lately? As a freelance skipper, I've always encouraged guests to book a stay there at the end of a Grenadines trip rather than rush to catch a return flight which spoils the afterglow of a pleasant charter. This has always been a winning combo, but admittedly, my last Grenadines trip was many years ago. I realize things can change.

Secondly, if Young Island is in decline, what hotel/resort alternatives might you suggest on St. Vincent. I'm returning my guests at Blue Hole marina. Given the $500/night price tag at Young Island, I want to avoid a disappointing experience.

Your input is greatly appreciated.

Appreciate the feedback! We are booked and the countdown is on.

Palm Beach had much much more going on than Eagle Beach, back in the before time. There are larger more expansive properties right on the beach with a small shopping area behind the large resorts.

Around suppertime, all chaise longues are stored, and fine dining begins with toes in the sand as sunset sails dust the horizon. Menus were LED. Its exquisite.

I stayed in an airbnb with a pool in the centre of a handful of garden suites and cant comment on the resorts or the many casinos at Palm Beach.

One caveat...i disagree with Conde nasts long ago best carib beach...its very windy with sharp coral biting your scalp,/face, you need to defend yourself from the ongoing assult of the sharp coral.

If you make it to southern part of island...look up Charlies Pub and that Flinstones bar at the very southern tip.

Have fun.
