The Grand View Hotel is well named. We were staying on room #1 and the view was stunning. The room was a little bit small but very nice and clean. The AC was very useful. It’s very hot and humid in Carriacou but at night, the room was very comfortable.
During our stay, the hotel was almost empty. It was very quiet and the staff was amazing. Shirley, the owner, it always there to help us, give some advice and help us to find buses and/or taxi to go wherever we want on the island. Breakfast are very good and cheap.
The hotel is not far from downtown Hillsburgh. A 10 minutes’ walk will bring you to the port, bus station, some restaurants and other facilities. It’s very easy to find transportation on the island.
About Carriacou, it’s a must! We were visiting Grenada from Canada for 10 days and decided to spend 3 days in Carriacou. We’ve been amazed. Local people living there are among the kindness people we’ve ever met. Everyone says hi and want to help you if you need. What’s why I said it’s easy to find transportation on the island. If you don’t find a bus, someone will offer to bring you wherever you want to go.
Two must see: Anse La Roche beach (hard do reach but it’s worth the 45 min hicking on a cliff and forest) and Sandy Island.
