What you can do is go and check your baggage in, pay your departure tax (which used to be landside, don't know if it still is) and then go back to the Rex. There really is nothing at the airport to detain/entertain you.
Have a great time

They give you a voucher when checking in for use in the departure lounge for complementary drinks and snacks from the airport tuck shop ! Its a pretty underdeveloped airport with a few very small duty free outlets.
I flew back from GND a month ago CW and had fantastic service from the crew, the flight stops in ANU for about an hour. Just help your self to the club kitchen while waiting!

Sorry for bumping it again , I read the lounge guide and was wondering if this is still the case, vouchers at the check in desk? I am Silver member traveling Y, will the second passenger take a voucher? Also what are those departure taxes? Are there any arrival taxes too?
The departure tax is about 20 USD per person - and you pay this at a window before you go through security.
I noticed this year in St Lucia that the departure tax had been included in the overall fare so we didn't have to pay locally - not sure whether this is unique to St Lucia or not.
No arrival tax in Grenada - just the usual immigration and customs forms to fill out.

First to Grenada
Just found this old thread on Grenada and as I have just used a fair chunk of my Avios points and booked first class to Grenada for next summer, I would be interested to know if there are any BA FC check in desks at Grenada and is there a preferential queue to pay departure tax, security check etc. Also for boardng in Grenada, is it a free for all or do they call First and Club before the economy passengers?
Also as all seats are currently available, what do you recommend?

as of 10 months ago there was a club/first check in desk but the queue there was longer than the steerage line, and yes you get a voucher for food/drink. Don't remember paying departure tax at the airport. Yes the do call golds, silvers, F and CW first

Was there 2 weeks ago, you are quite correct in that there is a dedicated Club check-in desk + voucher as no lounge currently available. Departure tax is now included in all tickets so you don't need to queue as before. On boarding at the gate, Club, premium status FFs and even WT+ were called first.
