La Soufriere Volcano Tours

We loved our week long stay at Grenadine House; an elegant, historic property commanding its presence and views over Kingstown. We could not fault the helpful and so friendly staff. Though the restaurant food was average in quality and variety, made more difficult because of so few other options nearby. We were advised not to venture out into town after dark. Local recommendations of nearby restaurants and bars still needed a taxi back. There was the new 784 cafe in close walking distance which was excellent. As a base to explore this fascinating island and the nearby Grenadines the hotel was super value. A taxi tour up the leeward west coast, if you're brave enough on the cliff roads, had spectacular views of the active volcano, the bays and mountains to the north. A visit or two on the ferry to Bequia Island or beyond should not be missed. Other than a few broken basics in the bathroom and the closed Spa, our experience was of a small but grand hotel with the warmest of welcomes. But guests staying for a holiday should be warned of the difficulties and expense of getting about. There isn't a beach within walking distance, the nearest 20-30 minutes away in a taxi or local bus. A holiday here isn't easy but with an open mind and effort to organise, there are so many activities to do nearby. We were left with lifelong memories and a determination to return soon.

The staff and food was amazing! We had some issues with our room but the staff was accommodating.
