Fantastic Guide-The Real Deal 5 out of 5 stars.
13 of 13 people found this review helpful.

Before purchasing this book, I did a bit of research on the different guides available. One had a lot of advertisements, but was popular. It was more like a Frommers travel book. This one was written by the guy who actually used equipment relied upon by chartmakers for local depth soundings. You could tell by his "local" hints that he really took the time and effort to give you the insider's view. From recomming "Mr.Fantastic" (a local boat vendor who sold us delicious lobster), to recommendations on local restaurants at each of our island stops along the way, this book was fantastic. The black and white pages made it all the more authentic as not being overly commercialized. In each port he gave highly reliable waypoints which I fed into my Garmin GPS, and everything worked like clockwork. His depth soundings in the anchorages were highly reliable as well. Our crew of 6 sailors, all passionate for adventure in the Windward Islands, raved about this book. Other books were aboard, but this one quickly became the one that we relied upon. It was concise and to the point, and we really enjoyed using it. Accolades to Mr. Pavlidis. This is a winner!!

Editorial Review:

With 80 sketch charts this is the most comprehensive guide covering The Windward Islands. The Windward Islands Guide contains GPS waypoints, approaches and routes, anchorages, dive sites, an extensive appendix, photos and a bibliography. As with all of Steve's guides it contains sections on history, marina services, and much more useful info.

Our most-used guide book 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

We spent spent two months in Grenada, St Vincent, and the Grenadines on our sailboat in the winter of 2008. We had seven guide books for this area -- Rum & Reggae was our favorite. For exploring, hiking, snorkeling, eating: this book consitently recommended places and activities that were more interesting and less touristy. Sure, we used the others books too, but we used this one more.

Note that we were living on our sailboat and did not use their hotel recommendations.

We've since bought the Rum & Reggae books for the rest of the areas that we plan to explore next winter.

Editorial Review:

This thorough, handy, and affordable guide to the 75-mile-long chain of islands that stretches from St. Vincent to Grenada is geared toward the savvy and sophisticated traveler. Highlighted are what to see and discover at this remote end of the West Indies. Covered are the relatively undiscovered destination of St. Vincent; the majestic Grenada (the Spice Isle), and the Grenadine islands—Bequia, Mustique, Mayreau, Canouan, the Tobago Cays, Union, Palm, Petit St. Vincent, Petit Martinique, and Carriacou.

Editorial Review:

The 1st edition of this book was selected by the Caribbean Tourism Organization as Best Guide Book to the Caribbean These unspoiled islands lie at the southern end of the Caribbean chain and are just now being discovered by tourists. St. Vincent, with the oldest botanical garden in the Americas, is dominated by a huge volcano, its peak usually hidden in clouds. The Grenadines include Bequia, Mustigue, Mayreau and many other islands, each one a unique gem. Grenada, with its pristine reefs, is the source for a third of the world's nutmeg; the smell of spices is everywhere in the air. This guide is the best preparation for a visit to these islands, with full details on accommodations and restaurants, getting around, sightseeing, climate, history and geography. Activities covered include sailing, fishing, kayaking, diving, hiking, horseback riding and shopping. The book covers Grenada, St. Vincent, Bequia, Mustique, Canouan, Tobago Cays, Mayreau, Union Island, Palm Island, Petit St. Vincent, Carriacou and Petite Martinique. Color throughout.

This book was everything I expected. It's very good as a preview for visiting the island. The history gets a little dry after awhile; otherwise, a pretty good book.

Best Grenada Guide Period! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This is the best, most comprehensive guide to Grenada we have found yet. As we are moving to Grenada, we had a challenge find information beyond the normal tourist spiel. The book was obviously written by a native Grenaian and she shares all kinds of insightful and sometimes humorous anecdotes on island life. I can see why she has updated the book so many times. Actually it could probably use updating once again as things seem to have changed again since hurricane Ivan in 2005. The book was last updated in 2000 I believe. Still, if you want to get the scoop on the character of Grenada, this book is the best, period.

Editorial Review:

Earned throughtout history for the abundance and excellence of its spices, Grenada is the southernmost of the eastern Caribbean Windward island Beginning with the busting picturesque St. George. Grenda Isle of Spice escorts the reader through the lush, countryside, crystal waterfalls, and delightful beaches of black and white sand.

Not the best place to start 5 out of 5 stars.
24 of 25 people found this review helpful.

Marshall Langer is one of the great writers on tax havens and offshore living, but a book on a specific country is not a good place to start. Begin with a more general book, like "How to Legally Obtain a Second Citizenship and Passport -- and Why You Want To" by Adam Starchild, and then move on to Langer's country-specific book once you understand the basic concepts and issues involved with getting a second passport and citizenship.

No point to the book as the deal is over 1 out of 5 stars.

The passport program that this book is about has been suspended, so there isn't a whole lot of point to buying the book anymore.

The Associated Press reported on October 12, 2001 that Grenada has suspended its program of allowing
foreigners to buy passports, saying the practice was too risky after the terrorist attacks in the United States.

``Grenadian passports can end up in the wrong hands and be used for purposes other than for that which they were intended,'' Grenada Finance Minister Anthony Boatswain said.

The program drew criticism even before the Sept. 11 attacks on New York and the Pentagon, with some saying the practice allowed criminals to effectively adopt new legal identities for a price.

Grenada also recently was placed on an international blacklist of countries considered uncooperative in fighting money laundering. It was unclear whether Grenada's decision to suspend the economic
citizenship program was related to the blacklisting.

Officials say the suspension will cost the island between $1.8 million and $2.2 million yearly

helpful.I hope she and Brian Savage will do a "complete

Editorial Review:

A comprehensive guide to the southern islands of the Eastern Caribbean island chain, including Dominica, Martinique, St Lusia, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada, Tobago and Barbados. Only an hour's flying time from the better-known islands to the north, they offer sites infrequently dived, dive boats with six or fewer divers, and marine life rarely seen in more heavily dived areas (such as black coral, frogfish, seahorses and manta rays). The guide focuses on information. It contains a description of each island, including apres dive activities, an overview of the diving environment, rules, regulations and safety information, site plans and maps, and fact panels about marine life. The descriptions of the dive facilities are based on interviews with all operators and there are at-a-glance summary tables of the facilities.

Doyle's info was very good and the color arial photos and mini charts are very usefull. The book is 9 inches by 6 inches and has 400 pages, however if you were to remove the advertizments and touristy photos you would probably end up with about 275 pages of usefull info.

One of my favorite travel guides ever. 5 out of 5 stars.
8 of 8 people found this review helpful.

This is one of my favorite travel guides, ever, period. Even though this book is aimed at sailors, it has plenty of helpful information for land travelers too. Plus it has a lot of information I've never found in another travel guide. The best example is this. One beautiful night as we sat on our terrace enjoying the 180 degree view of the southern skies, I turned to my travel partner and said, "Did you print off those star charts so we can identify the southern cross?" His response. "Uh oh, I never got around to that."

The next day we looked all over the Island of Bequia for a star chart. We were laughed out of stores, some of which even catered to sailors. At one point I suggested maybe the Sailors Guide we have back at the villa will have a star chart. We agreed it was not likely but hot and tired, we decided to go back and see. We get back, look, and sure enough there it is - a star chart of the southern skies along with a date and time table for determining where everything should be and when. Oh my goodness. We had a chart all along. Thank you Sailors Guide!!

We used that star chart every night for the rest of the week and had a blast locating and identifying all the constellations we could see. It was fascinating watching the southern cross gradually rotate around the point in the sky where the south axis of the earth intersects with the southern sky. Ah, the pace of life on Bequia and the joy of a guide book that delivers way more than expected.
