The fee will not apply to children under 12 years, Timeshare Owners who are occupying their unit during their designated week or internally exchanged week, or Complimentary Rooms.
The fee will be added to your room folio, and MUST be paid locally to the hotel upon check-in.

Tourism is a vital component of St. Lucia’s economy, and this nominal fee will go a long way towards helping maintain St. Lucia’s place in a very competitive marketplace.
