Seasonal Packing Tips for Grenada
Grenada has a tropical climate year-round with distinct dry and rainy seasons. Understanding these patterns helps you pack smarter for your Royalton Grenada stay.
Dry season (January–May)
This is peak season with lower humidity, pleasant temperatures, and minimal rain—ideal Caribbean weather with comfortable trade wind breezes.
- Bring a light layer for evening breezes and A/C
- Pack long pants or maxi dresses for cooler evenings
- Sun protection remains critical—UV is intense year-round
- Water temperature is comfortable (mid-to-upper 70s°F)
Rainy season (June–December)
Expect higher humidity, warmer temperatures, and passing afternoon showers—but rain typically doesn't last all day. Hurricane season peaks August–October.
- Pack breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics (linen, cotton, athletic wear)
- Add a lightweight rain jacket or poncho
- Bring quick-dry sandals or water-resistant shoes
- Anti-frizz hair products and extra after-sun lotion
- Insect repellent becomes more important with increased mosquito activity
What Not to Pack (Save Space)
- Too many shoes — bring 2–3 pairs max (beach sandals, walking shoes, dinner shoes)
- Heavy jeans or restrictive clothing — tropical humidity makes them uncomfortable
- Full-size toiletries — the resort provides basics; bring travel sizes of favorites
- Beach towels — Royalton Grenada provides pool and beach towels
- Hair dryers or irons — already provided in all room categories
- Excessive formal wear — even specialty restaurants are resort-casual
- Your entire wardrobe — you'll repeat favorite outfits more than you think
FAQ: What to Pack for Royalton Grenada
What's the dress code at Royalton Grenada restaurants?
The dress code is resort casual. For specialty restaurants like Grazie Italian Trattoria, Taj, and Ma Maison, men should wear collared shirts with pants or dress shorts; women typically wear sundresses, skirts, or nice pants. Avoid swimwear, tank tops, and flip-flops at dinner. Gourmet Marché (buffet) is more relaxed.
Do I need water shoes for Grenada beaches?
Not necessarily for the resort beach at Tamarind Bay, but highly recommended if you plan excursions to rocky beaches, waterfall hikes like Annandale Falls, or snorkeling sites with coral and rocks.
What's the #1 item people forget?
Reef-safe sunscreen and after-sun care. The Caribbean sun is intense year-round, and you'll go through more sunscreen than expected with multiple daily applications at the beach and pool.
Should I pack bug spray?
Yes—especially for evening beach walks, rainforest excursions, and during rainy season (June–December). The resort grounds are treated, but mosquitoes are more active at dusk and in inland areas.
Can I access Diamond Clubâ„¢ Lounge with any room?
Diamond Clubâ„¢ Lounge access is exclusive to guests staying in Diamond Club room categories: Diamond Club Luxury Junior Suite, Luxury Junior Suite Ocean Front Diamond Club, Luxury Presidential Ocean Front One Bedroom Suite Diamond Club, Diamond Club Presidential Two Bedroom Suite, and Diamond Club Chairman Suite.
How much cash should I bring to Grenada?
Royalton Grenada is all-inclusive, but bring $150–250 USD in small bills for tipping staff, excursion guides, and local vendors. Eastern Caribbean Dollars (EC$) are the local currency, but USD is widely accepted. Some guests prefer to tip daily for housekeeping and bartenders.
What should I pack for kids at Royalton Grenada?
The kids club provides activities and supplies, but consider packing: extra kid-safe sunscreen, rash guards for sun protection, water shoes, comfortable play clothes, and any special comfort items (favorite toy, blanket) for younger children.
Is snorkeling gear worth bringing?
If you have a favorite mask that fits well, bring it—proper fit makes a big difference. The resort and excursion operators provide snorkel gear, but many guests prefer their own for comfort and hygiene. Grenada has excellent snorkeling at sites like Molinere Underwater Sculpture Park.
