We had a superb time with the John's, it
simply couldn't have been better. They taught us so much about their
plants and were so helpful with my numerous
questions about Grenadian life. Thank you so much for arranging our
stay. We're having fun showing our photos and sharing stories of our
time immersed in the friendly culture of Grenada with our family and
friends. Roberta and Ben Prince, California, January 2009

and Petite Martinique. You can choose
a location near/ in a town, beach or in the heart of the countryside. The houses range from a simple wooden house
with basic amenities to a very comfortable residence.
The furthest point away from our International Airport is only an hour and a half away, and you will never be
more than 30 minutes from banks and shops.
For those wanting more privacy, we have self-catering apartments, whole
houses, all of which are suitable for
groups/families. Even if you stay in these accommodations, cooked meals may be available on request.
If you would like to combine your
