Question
Our Recommendations
Answer
Travel: We highly recommend getting to the airport at least 3 hours in advance of your flight time. Getting through customs requires a good length of time. If you have a layover, give yourself at least 3 hours in your layover's destination before your next flight. You will need to go through custom's in America, & back through TSA. This is timely and annoying, so please give yourself a comfortable travel schedule. We recommend filling out your Immigration form for Customs Arrival in St Lucia 3 days prior to your flight. This will make custom's in St Lucia so much quicker and easier. What to Bring: Passports! Sun screen Sunglasses Cash for tips Bug Spray Wedding Attire Bathing Suits Comfortable Shoes Beach Bag Reusable Water Bottle Toiletries Solicitors: There will be St Lucian solicitors along the beach. They will offer both items and excursions. If you decide to do your own excursion, please do so inside the resort as we have read multiple reviews saying the excursions that were booked through people on the beach were scams. Do not accept anything from them, unless you want to. NOTHING IS FREE. They will try and talk to you, but politely decline any offers and move along your way. They will leave you alone. Ask Us! Please do come to us if you have any questions or concerns. We want this experience to be easy, and fun! We are happy to help!
