"Paradise is exactly like where you are right now… only much, much better." - Laurie Anderson

Almost Paradise Cottages & Restaurant were a dream in June, 2001, when we found this very special spot. Today we are your hosts at our intimate, eco-friendly holiday resort. Located on the north western tip of Grenada, the restaurant and three cottage buildings with a total of eight individual units are situated on a hillside overlooking the sea, with spectacular views to the southern Grenadines and the north of Grenada.

For a carefree start to your holiday, we can arrange to have one of our local taxi drivers pick you up at the airport and show you the sights along the west coast of the island. On arrival, we will be here to welcome you and show you to your holiday home. Settle in, have a drink or a meal, and prepare to be sent to sleep by the sound of the wind in the trees and the waves at the shore.

The next morning will be a wonderful surprise, waking up to the spectacular view! After breakfast, walk five minutes to the beach and ride the waves, or come up to the restaurant to organize some essentials. We are happy to call a taxi, organize a tour, give directions for a hike, or help you out on your first shopping excursion to Sauteurs, just a 20 minute walk down the hill. From there you can catch a bus from the bus station, for a trip to the east coast and Grenville (½ hour) or down the west coast to Gouyave (20 minutes) and beyond. Or take a couple of days to acclimatize before renting a jeep to discover the island at your own pace.

We can also highly recommend a hike with guide Telfor Bedeau, who knows so much about the flora and fauna that even a walk along the back roads is an experience not to be missed, and a massage and facial (with all natural ingredients) from Joycelyn, who comes Tuesdays on request.
