Going on our first trip as a couple to the Caribbean (Grenada). Has anyone got any tips on what to pack?

We are staying in a hotel, B&B, that’s right on the beach… overlooking the sea 🏝

Flight socks. SPF50 Suncream. After-Sun lotion. Facial Mist Spray. Light clothing only that will dry quickly if you need to wash it. Flat sandals/flip flops. 1 pair of trainers if you're going to go hiking. 1 pair of nice mid-heel shoes for hotel events. Beach Bag. Loratidine for mosquito bites (if you're bitten the bites won't itch as much and also won't swell - start taking 1 week before you go). 50% DEET insect repellent - in cream or roll on form is easier than spray. (if you prefer 'natural' repellent, read reviews to check it will actually work in the Caribbean). After-Bite cream. Aspirin or Paracetamol. Large sun hat. Sunglasses. Light shawl or cardigan for evenings out. Change up a bit of money at the airport when you arrive so you have some local cash just in case, or get EC dollars here via Post Office or similar.

Probably a few more things but that's what comes to mind for now

I’m pack lots of floaty lightweight midi dresses that I wear over swimwear and in the evening with nice accessories.
Mosquito spray.
