Let's face it: as wonderful as some hotels can be, they are not usually the centrepiece of a holiday. Regardless of how many facilities and commodities they offer, they are ultimately simply the comfortable place to come back to after a day of sightseeing and enjoying your destination of choice.

This is even more true when applied to somewhere like Grenada, where the sun and surf are the main selling points. As nice as Grenada hotels are - and, to be frank, most of them are fabulous - eventually, even the most sedentary of tourists will want to get out and about to explore the wonderful delights that await them. Not to mention, staying indoors at a beach resort pretty much defeats the purpose of the holiday to begin with!

As such, those who are looking to book Grenada hotels for the upcoming months will be glad to know that the island provides sufficient sights and sounds - not to mention food, drink and nightlife - to justify quite a few trips outside the hotel room. Below are three ideas for outings in this Caribbean island.

Go to Carib's Leap

As gruesome as Carib's Leap history is, it is also what makes it perhaps the main tourist attraction on the resort. It was here that, in a time before Grenada hotels and the tourist trade, the island's native Caribs committed mass suicide, preferring death to submission to the invading slavers. This act of reckless bravery has gone down in the annals of island history, and made Carib's Leap a favoured stop for tourist guides.

Visit a Plantation

Linked for several centuries to the cocoa and banana trades, among other commercial exploits, Grenada still retains a few functioning plantations that can be visited by tourists. The Dougaldson Estate is perhaps the most famous example, allowing visitors to witness production processes and even sample some of the spices and cocoa beans on offer - and making this a well worthy escapade for those tired of sitting in their Grenada hotels!

Visit a Fort

Along with plantations, forts are modern Grenada's other link to its colonial past. Several such edifices are scattered throughout the island, and each of them warrants a visit to soak in the historic atmosphere that still emanates from them. As such, visiting a fort will make for another fun day out for those history buffs staying on the island.

As you can see, then, there is no reason for even the laziest couch potatoes to stay confined to their Grenada hotels - the island offers more than enough excitement to justify a venture outdoors!
