How many regions to choose: I advise two or three regions on a trip of a week or so. The island is small, but narrow winding roads and minibus waits mean each move eats half a day, and a third base is the limit before you are spending more time in transit than anywhere else. For a 10-day stay, add a fourth only if you want a separate hiking or farm-village stretch. Which kind suits your style: If you want beaches, nightlife and social hostels, the busier southwest costs more money but saves time and effort, and it gives a first-timer the most comfort. If you want hiking, waterfalls and village life, the interior and north cost less per night and give a backpacker the most for the money, though you trade away convenience and sometimes hot water.

How many regions to choose: I advise two or three regions on a trip of a week or so. The island is small, but narrow winding roads and minibus waits mean each move eats half a day, and a third base is the limit before you are spending more time in transit than anywhere else. For a 10-day stay, add a fourth only if you want a separate hiking or farm-village stretch. Which kind suits your style: If you want beaches, nightlife and social hostels, the busier southwest costs more money but saves time and effort, and it gives a first-timer the most comfort. If you want hiking, waterfalls and village life, the interior and north cost less per night and give a backpacker the most for the money, though you trade away convenience and sometimes hot water. Surf and Atlantic-side stops are quiet and cheap, but buses are sparse, so budget extra patience. What it costs: Budget about US$50 to 90 a day (roughly EC$135 to 245) with dorm or simple guesthouse beds at US$25 to 50, local meals at US$5 to 12 and minibus rides at EC$2.50 to 6. Waterfall and fort entries run about US$2 to 10, a hiking guide US$30 to 60 a group, and a day boat or dive trip US$60 to 120. A reliable day tour often beats a taxi, which can run US$40 to 80 for a full day. Safety and etiquette: Grenada is among the safer Caribbean islands, but leave nothing in rental cars or on empty beaches, and avoid walking unlit roads at night. Currents on the Atlantic side can be strong, so swim where locals do. Greet people with “good morning” before asking anything, dress modestly away from the beach, and ask before photographing people. Sunday is for church and family, so expect closures.
