child friendly resorts

One of the many appealing aspects of staying at a hotel in St. Lucia for families, is that we think of every detail concerning one’s trip, especially when it comes to family time and ensuring that the children have the most amazing experience and are taken care of.

Even more, we know that as much as you come to create memories with your children, you’d like some of your own.

That’s why we’ve narrowed down the best child-friendly hotels and resorts on the island that provide some of the most fun, educational and innovative activities & Kids Programs!

NOTE

In St. Lucia, the wall outlets used at various places of accommodation varies, but the primarily used standard is British (220v) outlets.

If you’re coming from the US you might not be able to plug your devices to charge without an adapter.

The same goes if you are coming from the UK you might also have difficulty getting charging spots since some lodging areas use US (120v) outlets.

It’s best to be on the safe side and travel with a universal adapter. You can’t simply purchase these at the airport like other countries. We recommend the one below.
