Excited to go to Sandals Royal Grenada! It has been on my list for so long but the flight is long and expensive so it was put off a lot, we’ll finally I am going.
Left Miami with a rainbow in the sky and arrived in Grenada with another rainbow

The best experiences in a new country are when you leave the resort and learn about local food and customs. We learned so much about the history of Grenada, the food and the people in a fun way. We learned how to make Grenada’s National dish, Oil Down, in a private villa overlooking the water. This purely Grenadian dish is made with breadfruit, coconut milk, dumplings, turmeric, callaloo, saltfish, smoked herring, chicken or salted beef. We chose chicken and fish for today. Plus we made fresh Caribbean style lobster salad and chocolate mousse. Grenada is known as the Spice Island and especially for nutmeg, but it is also known for some of the finest cocoa in the Caribbean. We enjoyed chopping and dicing while talking about all the different ingredients and the tradition of Oil Down. While it simmered on the stove we relaxed with rum punch and swam in the pool.
Enjoying the lazy days of summer in Grenada 🇬🇩
A swim out suite is a must on your vacation and having good friends to enjoy it with 😊
