Our flight got in about 8 hrs late. It was pouring down rain and we were lucky to get our rental car. Made the drive up in about 35-40 mins as we lucky to have a local in front of us most of the way making our drive much easier. I highly recommend a SUV with AWD or 4x4 as the roads off the main roads can be quite rough. We arrived at a beautiful where Christine had dropped off a case of water earlier prior to our arrival and was definitely appreciated. Once unpacked and settled in, we enjoyed a late night swim in the amazing pool. The house is well stock with all the essential things you would need. You will also find various spices, coffee, sugar, and creamer. There was also a couple types of salad dressings in the fridge as well along with a brita filtration pitcher for water.
There is a laundry room and detergent if needed and the pool room has plenty of water toys, snorkel masks, boogie boards, etc for your days down at the beach. There are a few places to eat close by and more things to do in the town of Greenville. Granted we were only the for a couple of nights we made the most of seeing the entire north and east side of the island before our next stay that would allow us to visit the southern and western Caribbean side of the island.
Overall we really loved our time at Tatou House and would def stay again when we visit again. Vikki and Christine are amazing people.
Now lots of people will say its a long ways from everywhere and for the most part that is true but when viewing on Google maps you would realize that. Other factors that play a role is your comfort level and style of driving. The roads can be rough, quite narrow, steep with hard turns.
There are plenty of great places nearby that have great food, groceries , supplies, etc that are less expensive than the tourist side of the island. Many of locals have very small businesses such as mom and pop food stands, bars, mini mart with much of it along the side of the roads.
Will these folks may be in an area that doesn't receive much of the tourism dollars the service and food is exceptional. The people are very friendly. and really appreciate the opportunity to sell you their snacks, hand made goods, etc.
Be sure to have a currency app to make it super easy when trying to figure out payment and be sure to bring plenty of small bills. Most likely if you are traveling to Grenada you have the means to give an extra $1 and I assure it you it means the world.
