Our Posts about Grenada
Tons of people escape to the Caribbean for rest and relaxation each year, but for some of us it’s difficult to fully shut down even among the most soothing of island environs. More than 100 million Americans suffer from some form of sleeping disorder, according to The Sleep Wellness Institute, and though I haven’t been clinically diagnosed, I’d certainly count myself among that lot.

When I recently checked into the Mount Cinnamon Resort on Grenada, it was at the end of perhaps my favorite Caribbean travel adventure ever: an extended sailing trip through the unparalleled beauty of the Grenadines. Talk about a tough act to follow. I couldn’t help but wonder how this resort could possibly hope to be anything more than a footnote on what was already a magnificent journey?
But then I made the short drive from St. George’s Harbour to the end of Grand Anse Bay and actually saw the property — it was love at first site.
I don’t think I’m overstating when I say that River Antione Rum of Grenada is one of the most incredible cases of unexpected contradictions I’ve experienced in all my travels throughout the Caribbean. This rum literally has everything we could ever ask for from our favorite spirit… With one major drawback.

When I’m traveling, I like to get lost.
I know that’s not for everyone, but I really think you learn so much more about new surroundings when you have no idea where you are or how to get where you’re going.
