It&#8217;s an air conditioned 2 bedroom 1 bath apartment.  There is Cable TV and I think wireless Internet will soon be installed. So think of Olga&#8217;s like a Grenada  Bed and Breakfast&#8230; Except&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Olga is not in the business of serving Breakfast, so she did the next best thing. She installed a full kitchen, which includes stove, refrigerator, microwave, pots, pans and cooking utensils.  So walk with your chef hat and Cook On!! The supermarket is nearby, and if that does not work for you,  there are lots of good <a href=\"https:\/\/grenada-beaches.com\/grenada-restaurants.html\">Grenada Restaurants<\/a> to sample.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some pictures of the accommodations at Olga&#8217;s.

It&#8217;s a typical Grenada village with mostly polite, friendly folks, so if you like to mingle with locals you will feel very much at home.<\/p>\n<h4>Cricket &amp; Soccer<\/h4>\n<p>Olga&#8217;s is a favorite among cricket fans travelling with their teams, be it Windies, Aussies or whomever. They all love the very close proximity to the Grenada National Stadium. It&#8217;s literally a 2 minitue walk to the grounds of the Stadium&#8230; and if the stands were not as high you can see the entire match from your veranda.<\/p>\n<p>Darbeau has produced numerous national football (soccer) stars over the years, including shalrie Joseph who now plays in the US MLS league for New England Revolution. So soccer (football) is  big in Darbeau, and the surrounding villages. You most definitely will see the guys out &#8216;running&#8217; a game, and if you bring your gears (and  skills) they will definitely welcome you.<\/p>\n<p>The same goes for a game of cricket.<\/p>\n<h4>Transport<\/h4>\n<p>The buses pick you up and drop you off right at Olga&#8217;s gate. It&#8217;s a 5 minute ride by bus or car to St. George&#8217;s; or an easy 15 minutes walk while enjoying the sites along the way.  Once in St. George&#8217;s you can catch another bus to anywhere in Grenada.<\/p>\n<h3>Rates &amp; Availability<\/h3>\n<p>To find out how to make Olga&#8217;s part of your Grenada Travels, just fill in the short form below with your name, and any questions or comments you might have.
