Still looking for a summer getaway that includes sun, sand, surf, and golf? Perhaps a little luxury too? 

For those who seek a world-class golf experience, Round Hill Hotel and Villas offers the Golfer’s Delight Package. 

The package includes four nights in an Oceanfront View Guestroom, three 18-hole rounds of golf at any of five area courses, round-trip transportation and green fees (cart fees additional), one 50-minute “Golfer’s Recovery Massage” at the Spa at Round Hill, welcome bottle of Appleton Rum, VIP departure pass including escorted departure from Montego Bay’s Sangster International Airport with access to the new VIP lounge.

New St. Lucia Airport Development Tax

The Saint Lucia Air and Sea Ports Authority (SLASPA) wishes to inform all travelers that effective May 1st, 2011, the sum of US$35.00 will be included on all airline tickets purchased worldwide for voyages to and from St. Lucia.

I have verified with the St. Lucia Tourist Board that this is not a departure tax, as is common on other islands, but in fact a tax to help the island further development their existing airports to serve a growing number of visitors to the island. Other islands have been adding a "departure tax" to airline ticket costs for years so if you've visited the Caribbean, you've likely already been paying similar taxes. With the launch of this new tax in St. Lucia, we are excited to see the upcoming changes at the airports. 

Let us know if you have any questions!
