THE HOMES
"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
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 are a vegetarian or have other dietary needs, then we may be able to arrange this in advance.
Our prices
They include accommodation, linen change, room cleaning and MAY include breakfast and/or other meals. Rates start at US$30 plus 5% tax per night (single person in the most basic accommodation) and go up to US$120 plus tax for a luxury apartment. A two-bedroom apartment typically will range in price from US$50-80 plus 5% tax per night.
Taxis can be arranged for transport directly to the homes - you pay the driver directly. We use taxi drivers who know exactly where the homes are.. If you prefer, you can arrange to be dropped to the bus terminal and arrangements made for you to be met by your host off the bus at your destination. This will cost you less if you are going to the outer parishes. The adventure starts here!
Each host offers a slightly different package. More details about the individual houses, hosts and prices may be obtained by e-mailing us. We request approximately 20% deposit of your total vacation price in advance to confirm your place in a home at least two weeks' before the start of your stay. The other 80% should be paid on arrival in Grenada, directly to the home owner. The deposit is non-refundable if you cancel less than two weeks before your arrival date.
You can pay using a bank draft, travellers' cheques, or cash (US/Canadian dollars, Sterling, Euros, or Eastern Caribbean/Barbadian dollars).
