Union Island
in [Caribbean Islands]

From: Brynjulf Barexstein on 22 Jan 2010 16:20 Hello from Norway. I am planning to go to Union Island in the Grenadines for 2-3 weeks next winter, with familiy and small kids. Planning to stay in Anchorage Yacht Club, as it is situated directly on the beach. Maybe rent a villa on Palm Island close by for some days also. Any experiences, advices etc? I am especially interested in how the beach in front of Anchorage Yacht Club is. And maybe anyone can tell me how the beach on the east side of Palm Island is (that is where the villas are)? Seems on Google Earth that there is quite a bit of coral or rocks in the water, maybe difficult to swim? We`re also considering going to Eleuthera in the Bahamas, but we got a little worried about unstable weather that far north in Dec / Jan. Anyone been there in the winter? Otherwise I would appreciate any good advice for a house / cottage / villa or anything with cooking possibilites, situated directly on a perfect beach with no big waves, (due to the kids`swimming), anywhere in the Caribbean, with a max price ca. 400 US dollars per day. Thanks, Brynjulf

There is a small supermarket just down the hill, and an ocean beach is also just a walk away. If you do happen to end up visiting Grenada, look up a man named Mandoo for a tour you won't soon forget. good luck, Keith --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: news(a)netfront.net ---
From: Brynjulf Barexstein on 23 Jan 2010 04:39 Hi K and thanks for your advice. It looks absolutely wonderful. But one question: Is all appartments on the first floor, nor ground floor directly in the sand? You see we are looking for a place ground floor, so that the kids can run up and down to the beach, with no staircases, verandas etc. Their webpage doesn`t say anything about this but it looks like it is the restaurant that is in the front line in the sand, and not the appartments. Can you recall this?

From: Brynjulf Barexstein on 23 Jan 2010 04:43 Hi Don. Thanks for wondeful pictures and good information. Can you remember; did you go to the beach directly in front of the Anchorage Yacht Club on Union Island? Any memories on how it was? I am asking of two reasons; we are travelling with small kids and therefore we will have focus on swimming and beachlife most of the time, and also because I am very much a beach-freak myself, always looking for the ultimate perfect beach, with soft sands, no litter, no sharp coral or rocks etc etc. Brynjulf "Don Wiss" <donwiss(a)no_spam.com> skrev i melding news:sc9kl5paundnqamivig2p4dsgghle956r2(a)4ax.com... > On Fri, 22 Jan 2010, Brynjulf Barexstein <brex(a)online.no> wrote: > >>I am planning to go to Union Island in the Grenadines for 2-3 weeks next >>winter, with familiy and small kids. >>Planning to stay in Anchorage Yacht Club, as it is situated directly on >>the >>beach.
