After you read this, i guarantee a Grenada holiday will stick in the back of your mind!
I had been working for almost two years straight with only the compulsory holidays off, so i decided i needed a vacation. I had been to St Lucia on holiday a few years ago and had a great time, but decided that a new destination would be an enjoyable experience as well. Although I didn’t want to go to St Lucia I did want to stay in the Caribbean, so some research ensued. After reading up on a quaint little island called Grenada my mind was made up.
I hadn’t heard much about Grenada holidays, but I was still looking forward to it. I landed in Maurice Bishop International Airport and was greeted with some nutmeg and ginger. I also discovered that this islands second name was the Spice Isle. I then found myself looking through some of the vinyards and the fruit farms. Before that I wanted to see my hotel and the beaches. The hotel i was going to be sleeping in was the Calabash Hotel, and it was unbelievably gorgeous. The pool is connected to the sea and the water is as clear as a blue sheet of glass. The tourist industry is Grenada’s biggest money spinner and because of this they almost immediately treat their guests like they were kings or queens, I was pampered every day that I was there.
One of the staff told me that i should visit one of the Chocolate factories. After i had been on the tour around the factory, i was then asked if i wanted to help make some chocolate and even offered some free of charge. The Calabash hotel also offers a variety of activities, one of which is the scuba diving centre. Of course, i signed myself up what an experience. We explored a small part of the ocean, I saw many different types of fish, I can’t remember their names, but I can remember the colours, whites and greens everywhere.
This was a great holiday and if anyone is considering a holiday to the Caribbean, then try either St Lucia holidays or Grenada holidays. If you don’t fancy something like this, the only other one I can recommend is Egypt holidays.
