Frequently Asked Questions

Calabash Cove is a romantic and rather quiet boutique resort for adults only, setting it aside from many of the other all inclusive Saint Lucia hotels that either cater to families, or accommodate hundreds of guests. 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.

We are not typical of all inclusive Saint Lucia hotels. 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 (something not offered by other all inclusive Saint Lucia hotels). If you are visiting to mainly relax the all inclusive plan may well be for you.

The Breakfast 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 Dollar “EC$”. At the resort we accept both US$ and EC$. Similarly, in many stores and restaurants, US$ are accepted and credit cards are usually welcome. If you do carry US$ bills we recommend nothing larger than $50.00 to avoid difficulties getting them accepted and changed.

Yes, the price is for 2 people.

Most of the all inclusive Saint Lucia hotels either cater to families, or are strictly couples only. Calabash Cove is unique in that it warmly welcomes all adult guests. Because of the romantic nature of the resort most of our guests do tend to be couples on a romantic getaway or honeymoon, but it is certainly not unusual to meet single travellers, groups of friends, or relatives seeking peace and quiet to bond.

Yes, all of our rooms include a private bathroom.

Dress code is generally casual. During the day shorts and t-shirts are fine.  However, in the evening, gentlemen are required to wear dress shorts or trousers with a short or long sleeve shirt or polo shirt and closed toe shoes. T-Shirts are not acceptable in the evenings. 

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. In Winter when the cool trade winds create balmy evenings*, Ladies might think to pack a pashmina or light shawl.

*warm but sometimes with a cooler breeze.

After clearing immigration and customs continue straight ahead through the swing door as you leave the arrival hall. App. 10 yards in front of you will be a booth with the Calabash Cove logo. The attendant will introduce you to the driver. The drive is app. 90 minutes from Hewanorra International (UVF) and 12minutes from George F.L. Charles.

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 online 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.
