What do I need to know for a trip to Grenada?
The official currency is the East Caribbean Dollar (XCD), though U.S. Dollars and major credit cards are accepted at many hotels, restaurants, and tourist businesses.
Reserve sailing charters, diving trips, spa treatments, and fine dining experiences well in advance, particularly during the peak winter travel season.
Consider travel insurance that includes coverage for weather-related delays, especially during the Atlantic hurricane season from June through November.
Carry some cash for local markets, taxis, and smaller restaurants, as not every business accepts credit cards.

The Best of Grenada: Nutmeg, Grand Anse, and Caribbean Luxury
Grenada produces roughly a quarter of the world's nutmeg supply, with the spice being so important to the island that it's featured in the national flag. The best luxury resorts in Grenada are close enough to the working estates that you can spend a morning on one, following the harvest from tree to drying rack to grading table. Nothing in your spice cabinet prepares you for it.
Grand Anse Beach is where Grenada makes its second argument. You'll find two miles of calm Caribbean shoreline on the southwestern coast, with water shallow enough that you can wade out well past the point where most beaches drop away. No high-rises crowd the sand, and the buildings that face the beach stay low enough to disappear into the palms.
Grenada is small enough that you can enjoy both on the same trip. Most travelers come for the beach and leave talking about the morning they spent on the nutmeg estate. Besides nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, mace, and ginger all grow here too, often on the same property. That's why Grenada earns the Spice Island name in full.
