I want to plan a few days trips to other parts of the island, can you help arrange this?
Our team has a wealth of local knowledge and will be able to assist you in planning a local trip. We can take care of the booking for you, including making the necessary transportation to and from your destination.
We can also arrange a food hamper to take with you for day excursions. Simply let reception know 24 hours before your trip and we will have a breakfast or lunch hamper ready for your departure.
Do I need to bring a universal adapter with me on holiday?
Electricity to Saint Lucia is 240 volts, and the plugs are UK-style with 3 pins. A universal adapter is provided in all rooms and can be used for most electronics, including cell phones and computers.
Is there a dress code?
The dress code is casual all day in the restaurant, bars and around the resort. But in the evening, the atmosphere becomes a little more formal and the restaurant moves to silver service with a smart/casual dress code with long trousers for the gentlemen.
Do you arrange transportation around the island?
All our guests at East Winds are free to use our private chauffeur service! If you would like to use this service, please contact reception to make arrangements. We are also happy to arrange transportation to specific destinations, driving tours of the island, as well as airport transfers if you wish.
