Here is my two cents. We rented a two-door Vitara (not a Grand Vitara) from Courtesy Car Rental for two of us and it was just what we needed. We never had any problems not having enough 'juice' to get us up the steep hills and the 4WD worked well when needed. When the roads were slick from the rain and for the dirt/gravel roads (i.e. the road to Lamshur) the 4wd worked well and the Vitara handled just fine. We put the back seats down and had plenty of room for our luggage and it was easy to just throw in our cooler, chairs, snorkel gear, etc. for the beach each day. When we return we'll rent a Vitara again.
Enjoy your trip!

When renting 4WD's we usually go with the Jeep Liberty. We have one here at home and in the mountains of utah, my Jeep is like the little goat that could! It actually goes better than my Grand Cherokee did!
I always want to try the Wrangler but there is no freaking luggage space in back. When you are traveling with 4 peeps, that's a problem. The Liberty's size is also good for STJ's roads.
