Sparse pricing does not imply sparse healthcare availability.

About Grenada
Grenada is an English-speaking, upper-middle-income Caribbean country of about 117,207 people, with Saint George’s as the capital and main urban reference point for newcomers. Its cost of living sits on the lower side for the Caribbean, which matters if you want island living without the pricing of more expensive regional destinations. The tradeoff is capacity: internet speeds are moderate, infrastructure can feel slower, and healthcare is adequate for routine needs but limited for specialist care, sometimes requiring travel to Trinidad. Most nationals get a visa-friendly 180-day stay, making it easier to test daily life before committing. The tropical climate is part of the appeal, but relocation planning should take hurricane season, June through November, seriously.
