Visitors must pay for all medical services on St Lucia. As with all international travel, medical insurance is essential.

Climate

The climate of St Lucia is tropical, with temperatures ranging from the mid-20’s to mid-30’s °C (mid 70’s to mid 80’s °F). The heat is tempered by sea breezes and prevailing northeasterly trade winds. The driest period on the island is from February to May, though short showers can occur throughout the year, and the wet season is usually from June to September. The rainforest in the interior of the island receives more than double the average annual rainfall on the north and south coasts.

Money

The Eastern Caribbean Dollar is the official currency on the island. However, American and Canadian dollars and the British pound are widely accepted.

Credit cards are widely accepted at all major centres, restaurants, hotels, etc but not at the craft market or smaller stores. Ask the stores whether credit cards are accepted before making a purchase.

Tipping

Tipping is not compulsory, but is a means of recognising good service in most countries. Previously we have included tipping in the price of our holidays, but guest feedback has shown that guests would prefer this to be at their own discretion – to give more, or less, as a reflection of the service.

As guidance, we would recommend you allow £50 per person for tips on this holiday to cover local staff and services.
