It is only FORTY years since I blew my first ever (and only?) tax rebate on a holiday in the most exclusive and luxurious hotel I could find in the whole wide world...I used to have a Harper’s & Queen publication called ‘The Leading Hotels of the World’ which at the age of 21 I knew off by heart and had already decided that there was only one for me: Secret Harbour on Grenada (“no NOT Granada!”) which no one had heard of so I knew I must be on to something...it was absolutely gorgeously perfect and despite subsequent filming trips to places like Sandy Lane, the Peninsula, Mammounia et al, nothing has ever quite compared to that taste of sheer simple luxury of space and light and Caribbean blueness...
Well, we moored in the capital St George’s which was once “the most beautiful unsoiled capital of the Caribbean” to find it a bit spoiled by catastrophic cruise ships/mobile apartment blocks and looking tawdry in that 21st century concreted way. And then we hired a jeep and toured the whole of the island, crossing yet another vertiginous s-bend laden mountain track and including a stop off to a fantastic inland mangrove festooned lake with a tasteful walkway thanks to US Aid (? - another relic of the good old days) and taking in the region of St Andrew’s complete with its very own Dunfermline, gazed at the remotely pristine beach which is home to the rare and protected leatherback turtles (see pic) and thence to ...Secret Harbour....as Doris Day said, no secrets any more...
Don’t ever go back.
Onwards now to Martinique ooh la la!
