LOCATION: Petit Bacaye - a Caribbean hideaway located on the south coast of Grenada - is a wonderfully sheltered, secluded stretch of palm-studded sand cooled by the trade winds. Real Grenada is here. Fisherman put out to sea bringing their catch daily to our restaurant -lobster, snapper, strawberry grouper, conch. Banana and paw paw are served direct from our own trees. In the sea side restaurant, savour the textures and tastes of Grenadian cooking flavoured with exotic spices grown on the island. Ten grain bread, warm banana bread, hot bakes, lemongrass lemonade and coconut ice cream are all made on the premises whilst nutmeg jam, flambé bananas, fresh fruit punches with mango and paw paw are all on the menu.

ACCOMMODATION: On a palm fringed beach, a whisper away from the warm sea, stand four palm thatched beach houses and a thatched Honeymoon House; their shaded verandahs look out across the water to a tiny islet. Other accommodation is in the glorious, spacious Plantation House Suite or the Spice House. All have sea views to die for. The Plantation House Suite looks down an avenue of palms to the sea. The Spice House stands on the beach.
Smoking is permitted on room verandahs and at the outside tables of the restaurant please.
The site is manned 24 hours.
A member of staff sleeps in the staff quarters to the rear of the beach houses.

THE BEACH AT PETIT BACAYE: The beach at Petit Bacaye is totally safe for swimming, the water warm and snorkelling off the reef is fun. Almond and palm trees provide plenty of shade and the trade winds keep you cool. Each beach house has sun-beds. At the far end of the beach the fishermen bring in their daily catch for sale to the hotel and local people. Most guests find it fascinating to go and see all the different types of fish that make up the catch. They are weighed and sold on the beach. All beaches in Grenada are public and we share our beach with the fishermen and a few local children. You can walk around the rocks to the island - now a designated bird sanctuary. Off the jetty is a crystal clear pool - lovely for swimming. Rum punch is served at the water's edge as the sun goes down and the egrets go home to roost.

MASSAGE: De Soul Case is Grenadian for the body, just a coconut's throw from your room amongst the scarlet ginger blossoms and the bright yellow bird of paradise, has a private, shady verandah where you can enjoy a sensational coconut and nutmeg oil massage whilst lying dreaming admidst muslins, with nothing to disturb you but the gentle, whisper of the banana leaves and the soft beat of the humming bird's wings. 50 minute massage
