Default Grenada

Does anyone have any suggestions regarding Grenada. I'm thinking about
using a free ticket to head that way in December or early next year. Any
information about beaches, places to stay, transportation, local
culture/customs etc etc etc would be greatly appreciated. It looks like a
beautiful place.

Also, in general, what is everyone's favorite island to "get away?" I mean,
no tourist trap, as few cruise ships as humanly possible, and where it is
possible to become immersed in local culture without wading through
angry/rude tourists?

Thanks
Dave

Beautiful, but not the friendliest to tourists outside the tourist areas.
That goes to small Statia.

Please explain what you are looking for in "immersed in local culture." If
you really want to get away from it all, I'd recommend Saba, but there may
not be much local culture. Oh, I take that back. You want beaches. Saba has
none.

I've only stayed at one place in Grenada but I think its great...not a fancy
resort but just the right balance between culture an comfort,if you know what I
mean. And its on a classic white sand Caribbean beach with the coolest rustic
beach bar and resturant. Check it out at: http://www.gembeachresort.com/
Ive been told that it gets booked up during the winter months so don't wait till
the last minute if your interested.

I have never been to Grenada but have a suggestion RE a favorite island to
get away...no cruise ships at all...no touristy tourists...local culture
abounds cuz that is all there is....try the Bocas del Toro islands in
Panama. There are several islands to pick from to stay on...we stayed on
Carenaro at Careening Cay. There are a few tourists there [in fact
Careening Cay is owned by expats from Michigan] but most everyone we met was
far removed from your typical tourist. Because of this I would suggest that
you bone up on your spanish. Although some locals speak a bit of english,
most don't...so you will have to communicate thru pantomime! Which is
actually ok...we found locals to be very friendly and accomodating. Easy to
find a local fisherman willing to take you up the river in their dugout
canoe to see gators, monkeys, poisonous snakes. Fun!
