What do I need to know before moving to Lance aux Epines?

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Lance aux Epines, they said:

"Lance aux Epines is a popular destination for expats due to its beautiful beaches, warm climate, and friendly locals. Before moving, it's important to understand the cost of living can be high, especially for housing and imported goods. The official language is English, but the local dialect can sometimes be difficult to understand. It's beneficial to learn some local phrases and customs to help integrate into the community. Healthcare facilities in Grenada are adequate for routine health issues, but serious medical conditions may require evacuation to a country with more advanced medical facilities. Therefore, comprehensive health insurance is recommended. The crime rate in Lance aux Epines is relatively low, but like any place, it's important to take standard precautions to ensure personal safety. The climate is tropical with a wet and dry season. It's important to prepare for high temperatures and humidity, as well as potential hurricanes during the wet season. Public transportation is available but not always reliable. Many expats choose to buy or rent a car for convenience. The local cuisine is a blend of African, Indian, and European influences. It's worth trying local dishes like oil down, the national dish of Grenada. Finally, it's important to have all necessary documentation in order before moving. This includes a valid passport, visa, and any other required permits," explained one expat living in Lance aux Epines, Grenada.
