Top Tips For Attending The Saint Lucia Carnival

If you’re planning on heading to Saint Lucia to experience the excitement and pumping rhythms of the carnival, you’ll need to know how to go about planning your trip. Here are some top tips to make sure you get the best experience:

If you’re flying into Saint Lucia at carnival time make sure to book your flights well in advance. This is the most popular season of all to visit the island, and if you wait until too close to your trip you could well find that you end up disappointed.
Remember to bring cash to pay for snacks and drinks during the day as you won’t be able to use cards everywhere.
Don’t forget to drink lots of water along with the local rum – it can be very hot and you can quickly get dehydrated.
Wear clothes that are lightweight and that will dry quickly if it rains – the Caribbean is well known for its sudden heavy rain showers!
If you’re looking for the best spot to watch the Carnival Pageant and the Parade of the Bands, the area in front of the Castries craft market is highly recommended.
If you’re only attending one event during the entire week of the carnival, the Parade of the Bands is the best as it will give you the experience of the full spectacle.

What to Do/Not to Do

If you’re planning on heading to any of the carnival events, you’re sure to have an amazing time. The most important thing is to relax, get into the spirit of the occasion and have fun. Of course, you should always make sure to stay safe, just as you should at any event of this type anywhere in the world. There are three main things to remember:

Stay with your party and stay on the main carnival route
Take care of your cash and valuables
Don’t drink too much

Stay sensible and you’ll have a fantastic cultural experience.

My recent travel was sadly horrendous. The issues start with information for my flight to my hotel stay. I had to email and call SN for my final holiday details as my date for travelling were nearing. This filled me with anxiety. My hotel itinerary was different to my friends, I had room only booked with no breakfast meal, the lift to our hotel floor was not working properly, there was no one to help us with our luggage to our room on the 18th floor, we had no hot water to shower after travelling for hours, I could not close the blinds to my window, so was completely disposed to all to see me in my room, the room itself was not very clean. My friends in another room also experienced the same issues as well, and we spoke with other guests who were equally disappointed. We complained almost every day, and eventually spoke to the hotel director Bill Russell (that's the name he gave us) Bill informed us that a waiver of 1 nights stay would be returned to us as soon as SN travel were contacted and informed. Sad to say this was my first time using SN and will be the last. DO NOT GO TO THE MANHATTAN AT TIMES SQUARE HOTEL!!! This place needs to be completely refurbished. We await to find out if we will have further contact with SN Travel & The Manhattan.

SNTtavel are truly amazing helping me pick a last minute spot to treat my daughter and myself to an indulgent 3 night getaway at the Royalton resort located at 5 islands. Shaped the remainder of our stay in Antigua and Barbuda. Family friendly well updated resort with great staff. Felt safe and secure throughout our stay.
