After arriving at the airport, we hopped on the complimentary shuttle and drove
15 minutes to the resort.
After our arrival at the resort where we were greeted by the friendly staff members, we settled into our rooms and
had time to explore the resort. The resort has a beautiful design with a lot of open air area and everywhere the guest
will notice the attention to detail.

The next day provided enough time to explore more of the resort. The resort has
ten restaurants that are all included. Le Jardinier offers French specialties, Butch's Chophouse is a great
place to enjoy a prime cut of meat, and the Teppanyaki cooking style is used at Kimonos and great fun
to be with any group of friends.
Walt, who got cerified for scuba diving shortly before going to Grenada, went on a scruba diving trip with Rich. All PADI
certified scuba divers can join two complimentary dives every day.
In the afternoon, we got ready for our Private Cocktail Party at the Neem Tree Gardens. Later, dinner was
served at Cucina Romana, a restaurant offering Italian cuisine.

In the morning, the group boarded the bus for the Spicy Full-Day Island Tour. The tour started
with a drive along the West Coast until we reached the capital of Saint George's with its ancient forts. Continuing
the drive, we saw historic towns, stopped at the Annadale Waterfall, at the Belmont Chocolate Estate and at the
Grand Etang crater lake. We enjoyed a delicious buffet lunch at the Belmont Estate and learn about the production of
organic chocolate beans, part of Grenada's superb chocolate making. On the way back to the resort, we enjoyed views of
Calivigny and Hog Island.
Guests who vacationed at an all-inclusive Sandals or Beaches resort in the past were invited to attend the
Sandals Select Guest Cocktail & Dinner party. |
Some of our gentlemen went golfing. All the other
guests preferred to stay at the resort and relaxed or paricipated in some of the activities that are offered
every day.
The group got together for dinner at Butch's Chophouse. The elegant steakhouse features the finest cuts of
juicy beef seasoned to perfection.

Olympic Games: We are forever young
Underwater Sculpture Park - a great adventure for snorklers and divers

Staying at an all-inclusive Sandals resort means that all meals at all restaurants are included,
as well as unlimitted premium brand drinks, soft drinks, beer and Beringer wines. In addition, almost all water
sports like snorkling, windsurfing, kayaking, wateskiing, kneeboarding or hydrobikes are included. Certified divers
will enjoy two free dives every day including most of the needed dive gear.
In the morning, we had a lot of fun with our "Olympic Games" at the beach.
In the afternoon, some of us went snorkling to the Underwater Sculpture Park that is approximately a 20-minute boat ride
from the resort. The world's first Underwater Sculpture Park was created in 2006 and is a big tourist attraction.
At night, we joined the resort's beach party. Dinner was served via a buffet at Neptunes followed by some entertainment.

The next day, we got on two mini buses that took us to one of the schools
in St. George's. There, we met with deaf people from the island. It was very interesting for us to learn
about the daily life and professional activities of the deaf in Greanada. We had a wonderful time.
