Wave Crest Apartments Options

[bones]

Does anyone know when these apartments are going to be fully operational? I was in Grenada in Aug and there didn't seem to be much work going on!!?

Hey Bones-
You sound like you really know your way around Grenanda. We would like to go to Grenada for a week and then to another island for a week. Our main preferences are near a great beach for swimming and small, low key, moderately price. I see Caribbean Breeze and Wave Creast are recommended - is one better than the other? Are there others I should check out? Are the cruise ships frequent or a problem?
We would like to find something on one of the other islands but not sure which island we would be best for great beaches/swimming?
Thanks for your help!
Bon

oops! sorry - my questions should have gone to NIEL - thanks! unless you have been there by now Bones!! We welcome all suggestions!
Thanks -
Bons

My recs - Gem Beach Resort on Morne Rouge beach or Blue Horizons just back from Grand Anse beach. Also you might consider Jenny's Place, on north end of GA, though I have no personal experience with this, it's new. Hideaway and Hummingbird apts are just off north end.

Also you might consider Jenny's Place, on north end of GA, though I have no personal experience with this, it's new.

Here are 2 pics from the beach at Jenny's place. I was not too impressed with the property, too motel-like grounds, and there is a very narrow strip of beach in front (see those people there, they barely fit...). BUT their rates are quite good! And the people are nice. So if you want to be ON the beach, this may be your place. Unless you can afford Grenada Grand Beach. Most others (Wave Crest, Hideaways, etc) are not on the beach, you need to walk a few minutes.

If you would like someting a little bit away from the beach and a lot quieter, then Caribbean Breeze is a good choice. They are reasonably priced and just off the golf course.
You would need to hire a car if staying there, unless you like walking a lot.
Gem Beach is directly on the beach, and so is the Allamanda Hotel. Blue Horizons is a short walk away, but has excellent grounds.
Jenny's place is at one end of the Grand Anse beach, which is also the thinnest part of the beach.....Tough choices, i know (IMG:http://grenadatravelforum.com/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Best thing to do is look at all of their websites and then find those which meet your pocketbook, then choose the one which attracts you the most.
(By the way, cruise ships are not a problem as they tend to stay on Morne Rough or Grand Anse beach, both of which are big enough so that you don't feel crowded.)
