Bookings made as of Dec 5, 2021, that require testing will be billed directly to the guest at the following prices:

• Antigen testing – $25 USD per person
• PCR Testing – $350 per person

IMPORTANT

Antigen testing will be done by our resort nurse daily. Our team will schedule tests according to departure date and that could include the day of departure. Results of the antigen will return from the lab within a 2-4 hour time frame.

PCR testing is done onsite. 48-hour notification needed.

If results of antigen or PCR tests return positive, the resort will activate action plans:

• The first step in this plan is to isolate guest and travel companion(s) in their room(s) and begin our internal contact tracing.
If the positive result came back from an antigen test, the second step will be to get the guest to the closest polyclinic for a PCR test.
• If guests are asymptomatic, they will be allowed to recover at the resort under the watch of our resort nurse, during which a recovery room rate will apply. We have a limited number of recovery rooms available and once filled up, any other guests will be transferred to a state quarantine facility.
• If guests become symptomatic, they will be transferred to the nearest Respiratory Clinic. It must be noted that a 10-day period after a positive test is required before guests can reschedule their departure flight. (Contact airlines for more details). Guests may choose at any point to acquire private medical transfers back to their country of origin.

Clearance to depart after testing positive will be given by the Ministry of Health Saint Lucia.
