@@blacktea69 There are usually parties all over the place. The hotels usually have a bash. New Year's Day is a holiday and the day after as well. The best times to come to Saint Lucia are: Mid-April May for Jazz Festival July for Carnival October for Jounen Kweyol Festival (Creole Heritage Festival, with lots of food, village activities, etc.) These times are also Low Tourist Season so you won't be surrounded by boatloads of cruise ship tourists, the beaches are less crowded, attractions less crowded and prices tend to go down as well.

They pronounced it fine. Just in their own accent. I am a St.Lucian living in the US and I get it. So lighten up.

Hint to save money: when booking anything try to let a local call. You will pay less. Also if u go to a restaurant (especially in the south) try to bring a local with u and don't speak until they bring the local menu. A lot of the establishments have two menus where the prices are jacked up on the tourist version. For example they will have a meal for $15ec but will have the same meal for $15us on the tourist menu. Now consider 1usd = 2.70xcd and you begin to realize how much more you're actually paying for the same meal.

Hi nice video and great presentation. I have been to St Lucia Twice. I visited for 6 weeks from July to Sep 1993 and for 3 months & 2 weeks in 1995. That was a long time ago and from my experience St Lucia has changed so much and not all for the better. It is still a beautiful island but is now highly commercialised which has compromised some of it's natural beauty. When I visited back then they were way more palm trees and natural vegetation. There is by far so much more property development there. My parents were from St Lucia but since passed away R.I.P. to both my parents. I stayed at Anse Chastnet Hotel Soufriere, and Royal St Lucia in Castries. I hope to get married there in a couple of years. St Lucia remains my favourite place that I have ever traveled to. Thanks for sharing. Subscribed Tony from UK London

The curfew was due to covid-19. They went during covid-19 when there was a major outbreak and it was a measure to curb the spread. These curfews have since been lifted. No more curviews. It's not a hassel. St Lucia is a simple island nothing complicated. It was just restricted during covid-19 because it's spread so fast and the island is so small with a population of 180000 not that much the government was just trying to control the spread and protect the people. Don't be discouraged. Now to travel you jsut need a negative PCR test with not vaccinated but if vaccinated you only need proof of your vaccination.Go visit St Lucia. We are simply beautiful and we would love to have you.

Great information; however, do yourselves a big, big favour, and ask the locals how to pronounce the various place-names. It's not too difficult, but my wife, who grew up in St Lucia, gets really annoyed when people mispronounce the various place names. You should also be aware that residents of the United Kingdom, also watch your great videos, and they do not have to go through the same routine as you do, to enter the Island; due to St Lucia being part of the British Commonwealth of Nations. You could inadvertently find yourself putting Brit's/Limeys off, from going there. After all, it's an 8 hour flight for us, as opposed to a 4 hour flight for the majority of Yanks.
