Moving to Grenada

I am a retired Canadian living in Costa Rica. Due to the cost of living and local specifics I am considering leaving it. Grenada came to my attention. I am thinking of the cheaper northern areas to build a house there. Tranquility, safety, and at least some degree of solitude are important. Long walk in the morning, close to the sea and reasonable cost of living are main components. Would $2K per month for two people be sufficient to cover living expenses not including rent? How about the rest? I'd greatly appreciate any input.

How to get a new phone to my daughter in Grenada.

Hi, I live in the USA and my daughter is on our phone plan. We are planning on getting new phones for her and us and I’m not sure how to get the new phone to her. I never mail anything to her because she doesn’t like to have to deal with customs on her end. She has lived in Grenada about 5 years and we usually just save stuff up till she comes home or we go there. The next time we will see her will be this coming Christmas when we go to the island. Any ideas of the best way to get a phone to her in the next couple weeks.

Silversands Beach House

Looking to celebrate partner's birthday at Silversands Beach House in Grenada from YYZ. It's quite expensive but I love the fact that it ls quiet, tranquil and private. The other options are Aruba for the beaches however there aren't any hotels or resorts that I love or an AI in playa mujeres. Stuck on deciding whether the experience at a place like Silversands Grenada is worth it over the price of a longer stay and possibly all inclusive elsewhere. Also to note travel will be in September hence why Aruba and Grenada are on the list to have lower risk of hurricane and sargassum. My main priorities are a nice calm clear swimmable Beach and a quiet/more private property.

Electrical outlet adaptor

Traveling to the island in 2 weeks. We're staying at Sandals. Will we need an electrical outlet adaptor? We recently visited South Africa and had to have one there.

Looking for best local guide or company for private tour in March...

Taking our family of 6 adults on a trip to Grenada in March, and looking for recommendations for a private custom tour guide with transportation while we are there. Looking for a full day tour of the island, and quite likely a half day including tubing the river, and a full day on the water including the Sculpture Park and fishing, if possible. Any suggestions would be appreciated, especially if you have first hand experience with them. Thanks!

🍃

So I’m going to Grenada this Saturday for 9 days from Toronto. I’m a pretty heavy smoker at home so I was wondering how strong is the weed there? Will it make me feel any different than Canadian weed? And if there’s any chance I could find weed on the island that will hit like Canadian weed?

Thanks in advance for the advice and suggestions:))

Heading to Grenada for Spicemas 2026?

Hey everyone,

With Spicemas 2026 right around the corner for August 10–11, I wanted to put together a solid, practical breakdown for anyone planning their trip or thinking about heading down to Grenada for Carnival season.

Grenada Urban E-Mobility

Spicemas is incredible, but if it’s your first time, navigating fetes, transport, housing, and the actual parade days can be a lot. Here are the key things you need to know upfront:

Grenada Urban E-Mobility

  1. Timing & Key Dates

Carnival Monday (Aug 10): J’ouvert starts in the early hours (around 4:00 AM) in St. George's. Monday Night Mas starts later in the evening.

Carnival Tuesday (Aug 11): Pretty Mas / Full costume street parade.

  1. Where to Stay

Grand Anse: Top pick for first-timers. Easy access to the beach, food, and quick transport into St. George’s.

Grenada Urban E-Mobility

St. George’s (Town): Right in the middle of the route, but expect heavy traffic diversions and road closures.

Grenada Urban E-Mobility

Lance aux Épines / True Blue: Great for villa groups, but you'll rely heavily on designated taxis or rideshare apps.

Grenada Urban E-Mobility

  1. J'ouvert & Parade Essentials

J'ouvert Prep: If you’re participating in Jab Jab J’ouvert, slather your body in baby oil or coconut oil before heading out—it makes washing off the motor oil, paint, and mud 10x easier.

Global Carnivalist

Footwear: Wear cheap sneakers you don't mind throwing away after J'ouvert. Do not wear sandals or brand-new shoes.

Transport: Don't rely on catching random street taxis on Monday morning—pre-arrange a driver or check out local options like HaylUp early.
