FAQs

Question

What Should I Bring?

Answer

The resort does not have an ATM. Please bring cash for booking excursions, purchasing goods from local vendors, and tipping. Beach towels are provided at the resort. I would recommend bringing a beach bag and outlet converter(s). In Saint Lucia, power plugs and sockets (outlets) of type G are used. There is a shop at the resort for any necessities such as sunscreen, OTC medication, etc.

Question

What Should I Not Bring?

Answer

Camo. It is against the law for civilians to wear any camouflage clothing or carry items made of camouflage material in St. Lucia. The prohibition is to ensure that the camouflage print is reserved exclusively for the military and police force. The ban applies to all items, not just clothing, so you should also avoid camouflage accessories like bags, flip-flops, and sunglasses.

Question

Do I Have to Make Dinner Reservations for the Resort Restaurants?

Answer

Yes - there is a desk in the lobby of the resort where you can make all your dinner reservations. The restaurants (especially earlier times) fill up quickly so make the reservations at least one day prior if possible. There is a buffet style restaurant that is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner that does not require reservations. Don't forget to try the Jerk Treehouse for lunch - it's delicious!
