Starting to plan a trip to Grenada for our 40th anniversary in May. Spent a lot of time sailing around the BVI’s but always wanted to check out the windward islands. Looking for advice as to the best beach areas/resorts to stay at. Any insight, suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

That's a nightmare scenario sorry you had to deal with that hassle on what should've been a relaxing trip. The credit card fraud alone is bad enough, but having the car relocated without any heads up would have sent me into a panic thinking it was stolen. I've learned the hard way to always use a dedicated travel card with low limits for rentals in places where you're not familiar with the operators. For anyone looking for alternatives, I've had great luck with Blue Nile Livery when I needed airport car service in the Caribbean on other islands they're upfront about pricing and actually communicate if anything changes. Might be worth checking if they have options on Dominica or nearby, or at least using them as a benchmark for what proper service looks like. Hope your next visit goes much smoother!

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.
