Looking for a place to go on your honeymoon or just for a romantic getaway? Well look no further because I am here to tell you about St. Vincent and the Grenadines. South of St. Lucia, west of Barbados and just north of Grenada, St. Vincent and the Grenadines is the perfect vacation spot. If you liked the British Virgin Islands 15 years ago then you will love, love, LOVE this place. Sun, sand and no Sandals hotels, was everything I wanted in a Caribbean honeymoon.
Live on the East Coast? Well this place is even more perfect because it is in the same time zone. No more spending days trying to get adjusted to the time change.
How do you get there? Well you want to hop on a plane to Miami, which just so happens to be the WORST airport in the world. Made even more confusing if you have been drinking the whole way there.
Run to your connecting flight to Barbados and pass out from all of the alcohol you drank on the way to Miami.
Then get on to the smallest plane you have ever been on.
If you want to go to some of the smaller islands plan on taking a boat.
Here we are arriving at Union Island
Lance on the boat to Palm Island. No, T-Pain was not there.
While searching on the internet I found this hidden gem. It was everything we wanted in a honeymoon and more. Even before we went I knew how perfect it would be because everyone I told had to ask "Where is that?"
About 30 some islands and cays make up the Grenadines. Out of all of these little islands Lance and I decided on Palm Island and Petit St. Vincent.
If you love gorgeous beaches, then this is your island. The sand was incredible, the water was perfect, and the bar proximity to the beach was ideal.
If you decide to go here you can stay in a place like this
Wake up to this
And this
Head up to the bar
Side note: This really isn't the bar at Palm Island it is a bar at a deserted resort on one of the other islands. If you need a picture of the bar, click the link above or keep reading.
You can drink this
And for the rest of the day do this
Still not convinced? Think you need more activities?
Well, you can go for a "hike" up three different trails
On this hike you can take some cool pictures
and see the amazing views
You can take naps in hammocks
And if you don't feel like walking all the way back to eat here
And would rather stay at your hammock
You can have all of this delivered
When you leave your beach front room you can take pictures like this before dinner
Some other activities include
Champagne Sunset Cruise
Captain Yannis's Day Sail
Dinner at the Heart
Tuesday Rum Tasting
and all of these
Afternoon Island Tea
Thursday Afternoon's Botanical Stroll
Palm Breeze Hobie Sail
Private Charter to Union Island & Tours
Captain Yannis's Private Day Charter
Day Trip to Mopian
Scaramouche Day Tour
Picnic Lunch Under a Thatched Umbrella
Allegro-Deep Sea Fishing
Scuba Diving By Canouan Dive Center
Now if you want a more expensive vacation, Petit St. Vincent is the place for you. This place claims it is all-inclusive BUT it DOES NOT INCLUDE alcohol. This is not a problem though if you spend the previous part of your vacation at Palm Island. Everyday a mini bar is stocked at Palm Island and even if you do not drink all of your beer you are still given some. When leaving Palm Island make sure you take all of your FREE beer and champagne. Do not put it in your Longchamp bag though because it does not work as cooler and your bag will never look the same. Okay so PSV... to get there you also leave from Union Island on a boat.
PSV is even smaller than Palm Island but it feels even more private. Each couple/ group gets their own cottage. On the map the cottages look closer than they actually are. This was our closest neighbor
Now when you arrive at PSV, you will be picked up by this with a drink
You will then be driven to this
And if you really don't want to leave your cottage for the rest of the trip have no fear, all you need to do it write down some requests and do this
(If you do not want to be disturbed just raise up the red flag)They will bring you stuff like this
While in your cottage you can do fun things like this
You can go on a trip to a tiny sand bar and have breakfast
Or you can go on fishing trips and if you catch this
they will make you this
When it is time to leave you will be picked up at your cottage by the Flintstone car
you will then get back on the boat, get on the tiny plane to Barbados, hop on to the plane to Miami and finally wait four hours before you get on your plane home
