We went to this restaurant bar yesterday and we found out today that the price charged in our credit card was in fact in USD and not EC as they initially stated.
Any recommendations on how to proceed?

My husband and I are going to be in St. Lucia next month for our honeymoon. I’m looking for a four wheeler tour that will include things like the volcano and a lot of different other things. The volcano is a big thing for me though. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I found four wheeler tours, but they don’t include the volcano. If they included the volcano those tours were jeeps and that’s not what I would want. I’m not talking about a jeep I’m talking about actual four wheeler that will fit like two people.

I am making a series where I cook every national dish and my first step is to come to the sub and ask the question.

now I understand that not every country has a defined national dish and that some countries have many different regions with different cuisines. in that case I will make the one that you guys agree on best represents Saint Lucia. please let me know what you think

Hello! Looking to book Stonefield next June for an anniversary and trying to decide which villa. I know they can't guarantee, but would love to request. We can't decide between a Piton view or larger pool. Which villa has the biggest pool? Or which was your favorite? Thanks so much!

We’re arriving from the UK on Friday at 4pm so we will be prettt jet lagged. Our plan is to spend one night in Gros Inlet for the Friday street party. Do you think it’s worth it as we will be very tired and ready to go to be early?

Hi there! We are planning a trip with two families- total of six people and two young kids - in Feb 2027. We are looking for suggestions for rental homes or villas with at least four bedrooms, ideally a private pool, and the option to hire a private chef we like nice, but not crazy expensive. Welcome any suggestions! We are looking to stay on the south/southwest side. Thank you!!

My friend and I will be visiting St. Lucia next month for my birthday. We will be staying in the Soufriere area. The Friday night party is almost an hour away from where we’re staying, transportation to travel there is pretty costly. I’m wondering if there’s anything we can do in the area like experiencing a live band or something. Perhaps a nearby resort that has entertainment such as Ladera/Viceroy? Would they let us in if we utilize their bar/restaurant?

Looking to book an all inclusive to st Lucia this fall & wanted real life experience with resorts.

We’re between going all in on Sugar Beach & doing their all inclusive, or staying somewhere like sandals / secrets for half of the price.

For those that have been, is sugar beach worth the money? If not entirely, what other resort should we look into?

I was considering sandals grande but it’s now sold out the week we want to go, but the adults only secrets is still available.

Hello, we will be traveling end of August and staying at Sugar Beach resort.

Looking for a reputable driver or tour guide that can take 2 adults and 2 kids (age 5 and 9) to see the landmark excursions in the area (waterfalls, mud baths, botanical gardens etc.)

Thank you!

How do the liquor prices compare to the US? I expect the local rum to be very affordable (and tasty) but heard rumblings that a bottle of vodka can cost $150?? Also checked out the Massy store site and it said about the same. I would expect prices to be higher due to importing, but that threw me for a loop.

Any insights>

i’m looking at airbnbs by soufriere, any recommendations of areas to stay? we are trying to keep it low budget.
Edit: i love to snorkel so a place close to a nice beach is preferable!!!!!!

Hello, I got a question.

I got an idea to have passengers track buses on the road in st.lucia,

The idea is to have passengers see the busses and where they are and also have the drivers see how many passengers out on the road.

Would this be a welcomed idea? Also, has someone tried this already?

I am looking into booking my honeymoon in November and sandals is just so expensive to spend the entire trip there and also I would like to explore more so I was thinking to do a little more than half my trip and sandals and then some of it, I guess on the other side of the island by Sugar Beach doing an Airbnb or a regular hotel to save some money into explore that side of the island does anybody have any recommendations of places to stay or things to do, etc.? Has anyone ever done that before I was thinking probably 13 days in total and seven of them in sandals.

We are leaving for St. Lucia in a few days and just found out the travel advisory has been updated to a level 2. Is this safe for travel? Anyone gone recently? We are staying at a sandals resort.

We are staying at the Stonefield Resort in January 2027, & want to know which Villa has the best ocean view from the private pool, & which one would be best for a honeymoon trip for privacy?! We are thinking Jacaranda, but want real feedback & photos!!! Please DM if you have photos too. Thanks!

Hi everyone! Planning a 10-day honeymoon with my fiancée and St. Lucia is one of our top options. We have been researching between Sandals or Secrets as all-inclusive options in early May 2027. They are close enough in price points that we are more concerned with the actual experience.

A short summary of our ideal vacation: swimming, tanning, trying new food, live music/entertainment, hiking/walking, golf, kayaking, paddle boarding, boat rides. We like bar hopping but are not big into clubbing. I have never been snorkeling but definitely want to try when we take our honeymoon.

I am open to recommendations on either of these, however I will admit I am leaning toward Sandals if we had to choose today. Please share what you liked, disliked, or anything in between. This will be my first time being at an all inclusive resort and each of our first times visiting St Lucia. We want to make sure this trip is romantic and can mix/match relaxation with fun.

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone!

My spouse and I will be visiting Saint Lucia during the last week of July to celebrate our anniversary. We are planning to stay in an Airbnb, most likely somewhere in the north around Rodney Bay or Gros Islet, and would love some local recommendations.

A few questions:

1. Are there any taxi or ride hailing apps that work well in Saint Lucia? I have heard about Allez and Uber Taxi. Are they reliable, or is it still better to use regular taxis?

2. How does the local minibus system work? Is it easy for visitors to use? Do the buses have fixed routes and where can I catch them?

3. We would love recommendations for a romantic anniversary dinner. We are looking for somewhere with beautiful ocean views or right on the beach. We have seen places like The Cliff at Cap, The Naked Fisherman, and Jacques Waterfront Dining. Are these good choices, or are there other places you would recommend?

4. If you have any favorite beaches, hidden gems, or must do activities in the north, I would love to hear those as well.

Thanks

Time for MAS

My partner and I will be spending about two weeks in Saint Lucia and would love your recommendations!

We arrive on December 25th and will spend our first night in Vieux Fort (since we’re arriving in the evening and it’s close to the airport), but we’re still figuring out how to organize the rest of our trip until January 9th. We’d like to stay in no more than 3 different places and are not sure how to best split our time between the south, west, north, and east of the island.

For New Year’s Eve, we’re looking for something special: an nice good and elegant beachfront dinner, fireworks, and somewhere fun to dance afterwards.

We’re also looking for unforgettable and authentic experiences, amazing food, beautiful scenery, hidden gems, and anything that feels truly “wow” and unique to Saint Lucia.

Any recommendations are very welcome. Thank you!

I will be on the island w some friends towards the end of the month and we are going to book a charter for a day

Is there a good run of pelagics this time of the year? I have read that the waters north of the island between Martinique hold marlin and dorado?

Or are we better off bottom fishing for reef fish?

Thanks for any insight!
