Grenada - best time to go ?

[TonyD]

When's the best time to go ?

If we go between April - September it would be for 3 weeks (summer hols), so recomendations for a good hotel would help, outside of this period, it's just for a week so accom. not so important.

Many thanks

I went in September this year. Paid a pittance for the flight, £282 with XL. Stayed at the Siesta Hotel in St Georges. Cost me just over 200 pounds for a week for a double room booked via expedia.

Of course, it is hurricane season, but the weather was great when I was there. Rained for about 20 mins and a couple of times in the night.

I dived with scubatech
They've got twinsets and stages, so I did a couple of 30 mins bottom time dives on the Bianca C. Awesome wreck.

Went in the last week of August/first week of September a few years ago. It did rain VERY heavily, but only for very short periods of time. A few minutes after it stopped, everything was bone dry again.

Stayed at La Source, bit pricey, but very nice.

Agree with the Bianca C comments, did it 3 times - stunning wreck. Have a great time.

We went last Chrismas and Newyear and had a great time. Weather was fab but being Chrismas it cost us more. We booked flight and room only (2wks)for £700 ea, then upgraded locally to all inc. We stayed in the Rex which also houses the dive operators D2O Devotion 2 Ocean

They were very good and really went out of their way to accomodate our diving.

I would highly recommend doing the Bianca C (we did it 3 times) but you really must try and do the King mitch and Hema 1 as the sharks, barracuda and large rays are great.

I went to the Moto on the M1 at 2am. Great time to go. Although Burger King was closed.

I'd try to avoid the hurricane season.
I went in August and we had 2 days of tropical rain which kicks up the silt - while we were there we were told of the hurrican in the 60's and that Grenada doesn't get hit by them - 2 weeks later our hotel was flattened.
Have to say I would love to go back so enjoy.

Hurricane Ivon hit Grenada the year after we were there. The devastation was horrendous

I went in September last year, stayed at the True Blue Bay and dived with Aquanauts. Had a fantastic time - the diving was great, weather was good, food was lovely and the people very friendly. Best of all, I got a terrific deal through lastminute.com.
