In reply to the US, UK, and Canadian governments’ requirement of a negative pre-departure Covid-19 test for airline travelers, Saint Lucia is set to meet the need for on-island Covid-19 testing and processing.
This announcement by hotels has come up as a piece of positive news for Saint Lucia vacationers, as selected hotels are also offering free testing for guests who qualify.
Saint Lucia has many Covid-19 PCR and antigen (rapid) testing options for leaving visitors, citizens, and residents. Travelers can get a Covid-19 test conveniently at preferred hotels or at local testing facilities, with test outcomes returned within the requisite 72-hour time frame. There are new options in development to expand testing locations.
Travelers can make arrangements for tests once they arrive on the island or through their Covid-certified hotel. Pricing varies based on location and the type of test conducted.
Saint Lucia and its accommodation providers are aiming to ease the stress and cost of vacation planning. As an added perk, select hotels are also offering complimentary antigen (rapid) tests to guests who qualify.
Since the first international flights retreated to Saint Lucia in July 2020, the country has also implemented consistent, responsible Covid-19 protocols, providing increased standards of safety for both visitors and local citizens.
