My wife and i are booked on weeklong sail on the Mandalay out of Grenada. Has anyone done this trip before?

There are a number of reviews on the St Vincent and the Grenadines forum on Tripadvisor

Thank you but we were in hopes that someone on TTOL has been on this trip.

Many times in the past when it was the old Windjammer line. What do you want to know?

What is the best hotel to stay at the night before boarding on Sunday and any insights to make it a enjoyable trip. Thank you in advance !!

Flamboyant and Allamanda Hotels, been to both but many years ago.

Flamboyant is a lovely place where we like to have lunch & spend the day @ their pool when we rent self-catering guest cottages. If you're going off-season I believe it would be very reasonable. It's @ the south end of Grand Anse Beach.
We stayed twice @ The Gem Holiday Beach Resort on Morne Rouge Beach when we were taking a Windjammer; it's just over the hill from Flamboyant & within walking distance. Very inexpensive, nice quiet beach, especially for sunset. Both places not far from St. George, which I assume the ship still departs from, so easy to order a taxi. Grand Anse can take a day to stroll from one end to the other, especially if you stop @ the Spice Market. That's always fun on Saturdays.

Thank you so much for the info. This is our first time there and we are excited !
