Calabash Cove is a romantic and rather quiet boutique resort. Most of our guests enjoy a little peace and quiet, some elbow space, a relaxing dip in the Caribbean Sea and a good book or movie.

Currently we offer both options.

We are not a typical all inclusive resort. The all inclusive option was only introduced because of popular demand. It allows for easy budgeting and covers all beverages including premium brand liquor, an in-room bar and wines from a wine list as well as all meals including room service. If you are visiting to mainly relax the all inclusive may well be for you.

The European plan option includes room and breakfast. If you are planning on going out often it may be a better idea to opt for this plan.

The local currency is the Eastern Caribbean Dollars “EC$”. In many stores and restaurants US Dollars are accepted and credit cards are usually welcome. If you do carry US Dollar bills we recommend nothing larger than $ 50.00 to avoid difficulties getting them accepted and changed.

We welcome all guests however largely because of the romantic nature of the resort most of our guests are couples on a romantic getaway, honeymoon or the vacation of a lifetime.

While we have no specific children’s program or activities, we welcome children of all ages.

Dress code is generally casual. During the day shorts and t-shirts are fine and in the evening most gents wear dress shorts or slacks with a short sleeve shirts or polo shirts. Ladies are usually casual in summer dresses or shorts and blouses. Remember you may have no use for a sweater or a jacket. The resort is all open air.

We arrange luxury car private transfers to and from both airports. The charge for a private car is USD100.00 per car one way from UVF. Please provide us with your flight details at reservations@calabashcove.com in order to arrange your airport transfers. The driver will be ready to meet you after you clear customs and immigration with a sign bearing your name. The drive is approximately 90 minutes from Hewanorra International (UVF) and 12 minutes from George F.L. Charles. From the nearer George F Charles airport the transfer is USD 25.00.

Yes the resort offers complimentary Wifi and we hate to say it but many of our guests bring along a laptop!

Should your vacation be interrupted by a Hurricane as specified by the local met office we will provide you with a free replacement vacation of the affected portion of your visit plus 1 night within 1 year. Equally should your travel plans be disrupted due to a Hurricane we will allow you to reschedule without penalty within 1 year.

Regrettably we don't offer insurance. If it is not covered by your credit card you may best find assistance on-line or from your regular insurance provider. We do however allow guests to change their travel dates without any kind of penalty should a Hurricane interrupt or prevent their visit with us. The island however is very far south and usually outside the hurricane belt.

The official language is English. As a result of the island’s colorful history and the French influence over a long period, most St. Lucians speak a French based patois or creole. Much of that creole culture and history is reflected in the daily life and several cultural events throughout the year.

St. Lucia is an independent nation since February 22, 1979 and remains a member of the British Commonwealth. It has a democratically elected Westminster based Two Chamber Government with the Governor General, representative of the Queen of England as the Head of State and the Prime Minister as Head of Government.

The island has two airports. Hewanorra International (UVF), approximately 90 minutes from the resort serviced by the major carriers like American Airlines, Delta, US Airways, Air Canada, British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, Condor, Jet Blue etc and George F. Charles (SLU), approximately 12 minutes from Calabash Cove serviced by regional airlines like American Eagle, LIAT and Air Caraibes via Puerto Rico, Barbados and Martinique.

St. Lucia is generally 220V with mostly English plugs. However all the rooms at Calabash Cove have hair dryers and 110V outlets for North American appliances.

Due to the island’s close proximity to the equator one would experience generally hot and humid weather conditions year round with mild trade winds bringing cool breezes off the water that offer some respite from the heat.

The average temperature ranges from 70 degrees Fahrenheit to the upper 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Humidity on the island averages between 70 percent and 90 percent throughout the year. December through January are generally the coolest months with the temperatures being in the mid 70s to mid 80 degrees Fahrenheit. The summer months of June through August are the hottest in St. Lucia where temperatures in the mid to upper 90s Fahrenheit are not uncommon.

St. Lucia does not have very well defined seasons due to its location near the equator. There is however a rainy season that generally falls between June and November. During this season, one should be prepared for heavy, but sporadic showers that come on quickly but are most times followed by blue skies.
