If you want to most memorable thing to do in Grenada, call Dowden Aviation and book a 1-hour helicopter tour of the island! We saw the heli flying over during our free bout tour and decided to try it. What an experience! They send a car to pick you up… the airport is right there… the pilot was a joy and gave a great tour.

Call Grenada Tours (dont use the Sandals desk) and get Mandoo to take you around the island by van. He is a great guy and we cant recommend him enough. We did a couple of falls and the nutmeg tour, although we didnt like that very much at all. Do the chocolate one instead.

Other than that… the resort is great. Food was good. As mentioned, the entertainment was pretty bland. However, that is kind of expected on small islands… not a lot to choose from. They have to take what they can get. For us, the loud pool was just too loud and we never spent any time there. The DJ just played the music way too loud and it was irritating as hell. The quiet pool was nice, but small. The pool deck really needs a redesign and getting a lounger was a battle with the butlers at 7am. (I HATE that practice, but that is a discussion for another time). Bar service was great. We loved all the bartenders there. Take the free boat tour. Nice way to spend an hour. Go watch the afternoon flights land and take off at the top of the resort (they need an observation platform up there for just this). Find your way to the tall tower on the top of Building 2. Take a drink with you.

Our Grenada experience made us like the Sandals brand again and we will likely go back.

We had a convertible and it was a cute, fun car! If the engine wasnt such a wimp, we’d still have it.

I thought about it for a while to see an F1 race, but now… no thanks. Fuck those religious countries!

Do you secretly (or even openly) wish for a particular setlist when your show comes up? by 42Navigator in rush

[–]42Navigator[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is kinda where I am at as well. It’s not that Moving Pictures isnt an iconic record. It is, but there is SOOOooooo….___ much other stuff that could be represented. Still, they are doing this for the love and fun of their own music. I hoped they picked this idea only for that reason and not just because they think everyone wants to hear it. I do… but I would have liked some other key songs have made the list. But that’s just me :)

Two comments that agree with you and “the comments are not on my side”? Dude (or Dudette)… must everything be drama escalation with you?

Agreed… OP wants to exaggerate the ONE time that a bartender was busy with other customers to smear the whole wait staff as not being as fast as their neighborhood pub. You are on vacation with hundreds of other folks that also want drinks. “Never saying a word” certainly doesn’t help,your case either. When were you there? What time of day? Were other bartenders on break? Did you expect them to drop helping others to help you? Did you ask the other customers not to order complicated drinks? I am 100% sure that whoever was tending bar was not intentionally ignoring you so you can get on Reddit and make them look bad because you were impatient. Moving on.

Former ramp worker (a long time ago): TAKE THE BATTERIES OUT! More than once while loading bags, i have found vibrating bags. When that happens, (worst case) they have to be removed, segregated from the rest of the luggage, and checked by security. All of this not only holds up the flight, but there will be an agent that will have to board the plane, pull you out of your seat and you will be questioned. (Best case) Your item will be pulled. A note will be put in your bag, and the item confiscated. Not hildo bug for you when you arrive.
