Health
Dengue fever is common in
Latin America and the Caribbean and cases have been reported in Grenada. A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required from travelers over 1 year of age coming from countries with risk of yellow fever transmission. Good medical care is available in Grenada and Carriacou but most doctors and hospitals expect payment in cash, regardless of travel health insurance. Grenada doesn't have a decompression chamber for divers; the nearest decompression chambers are in
Tobago and
Barbados, 30 minutes away by air ambulance. The water in Grenada is clean and safe to drink.
Safety
Most visits to Grenada are trouble-free. Petty crime is prevalent so travelers should be vigilant and not carry their travel documents or large amounts of cash or jewelry on them and avoid isolated areas after dark.
