Castries Market

Mentioned on 
+18 other lists 
Fresh food market
Grocery store
Castries Market is a vibrant hub of activity, open from Monday to Saturday. It's the perfect place to immerse yourself in Lucian culture and stock up on groceries while browsing through an array of local produce and handmade crafts. Established in 1894, this market offers an authentic experience where you can interact with locals and find unique souvenirs such as spices, seasonings, indigenous art, and fresh fruits and vegetables.
Lively place. Restroom costs a dollar! Possibly bring your own T.P. nice vendors, not overly aggressive, but of course they invite you to look at their stock. . Lots of souvenir options. Local fruit selection is fantastic.
Jeff S — Google review
Market sits on waterfront, nice view of the ship, good selection of local fruit for fair price. They sell in dollars and in cash so it's easier for us when we only have small change. Nice friendly merchants, market not too busy, food stalls opens every other door with small menus, mainly for locals, not for tourists, bathrooms is clean, no cost, we bought some fruits to taste and a few souvenir items for very little price. You just gotta know how to bargain.
Chanbo K — Google review
Lovely local market, with several stalls where the locals sell their products. My favourite is the fruit stalls with diverse types. Ideal place to find local and traditional products. Highly recommended.
Sónia M — Google review
Enjoyed stopping here. Lots of locals selling and had a great atmosphere. Went when there were quite a few cruise ships in but didn’t feel too crowded. Went at 11:00 and was still going strong. Lots of repeated produce and touristy things, but loved the food stuff. Look around as different prices on every stall. Great stimulus for a toddler!

Nice enough place. Lots of stuff to buy for tourists, not much fun for kids.

Strolled around here for breakfast and shopping. Got some bake and fish and it was delicious. Just for 5 Caribbean dollars for 3 of us. Had a good time. For shopping prices were way inflated. Got some nice bracelets, hot sauce and local spices.
Mahima S — Google review
Great place to interact with the locals. Guavas, mangoes, Coconuts, bananas etc. fresh and just off the farm. Enjoyed the most delicious fruit breakfast and only £2! I am visiting Creole Kitchen again to taste their delicious food! A bottle of pure fresh natural Guava juice for Rs: 100
Suraj A — Google review
Enjoyed checking out the market, clean place organized and everyone was friendly and not pushy to buy their goods. The locally grown food looked amazing must be the fertile soil. I tried some Black Pudding (blood sausage) from a sweet gentleman named Julius which was so good, best I’ve had in a long time I ended up buying more struck up a convo and just chatted with him for a while. Got some beautiful things for myself and a few friends and look forward to coming back the next time I’m in St Lucia. It definitely worth a trip when you’re in Castries.

Beach
Nature & Parks
Vigie Beach is a serene sandy stretch nestled in a tranquil bay, offering a laid-back atmosphere and various amenities. Located just 10 minutes from the airport, it's an ideal spot to unwind before catching your flight. The beach features snack vendors, bars, and opportunities for plane-spotting. With its proximity to George F.L. Charles Airport and Pointe Seraphine, accessibility is convenient for visitors.
The eastern part of the beach near airport is great. There is a bar with decent quantity of rental beach beds and Very few people around. You can park and sit in the shade of trees if you prefer. And you can observe airplanes landing and taking off from airport next to the beach - use flightradar to get times of take offs. Or rent a horse and ride on the beach..
Milos B — Google review
Quite long stretch of white sand, loads of space. The left hand side, more close to the airport, it gave me the impression that is more visited by the locals, doing picnics and hanging out. The right hand side by the guests of the resort. Recommended

What a gorgeous beach in the heart of Castries town. Visit this beach for: 1) The magnificent views of Carribbean sea bordered by green mountains 2) To enjoy a beach with no crowd at all 3) No seaweeds on the beach 4) Great to swim and have fun on the airport entrance end 5) Delicious dinner and lunch options by the beach. 6) Beach chair and washrooms available for a nominal price.$1 for washroom and $7 for beach chair ( recommend haggling...we got the $15 one for $ 7)

Nice beach with natural shaded areas under trees.Directly beside airport so some occasional small aircraft noise. Sea may look calm but beware the waves can be deceptive and.completely catch you unaware and knock you off your feet. Almost lost the wrong half of my bikini! Great fun though with loads of adults behaving like kids.Not suitable for small children who just want to paddle. Few beach bars,horse riding close by and 10 mins taxi from cruise port.
Tracey H — Google review
Ok beach, close to ports. $10 taxi ride from further of 2 ports. $10 beach chair rental. Calm water today. Plenty of shade. $3 beers but only about 6 ounces. Sand is easy on the feet.

Very quiet and not many people try to sell you anything. It was a long walk from the cruise port but very manageable as long as you don’t have any mobility issues.

Beautiful Beach, 10 minutes drive distance from the cruises terminal, the taxi fare only cost $5.00. You must pay for nice spot and umbrella at the beach. Sunny beach and very clean. Highly recommended

It the cathedral and a minor basilica. It is almost 125 years old and it is very big. I ust say this is the best colourful cathedrals i have seen in the Carribians. Vincent colours, but it is fading. It must have been a marvel to the eyes in its prime days. The alter is very unique in style and very welcoming community here.

One of the most beautiful bays to visit with a pleasure craft in the Caribbean. A nice little beach that has post card picture quality. It very sheltered so that mooring buoy / anchor is quiet and calm. Decent restaurants are available, too.
Carsten S — Google review
Love it, great spot to chill. If you don't want to mess with the vendors then go to Doolittles, grab some drinks, and then you can use their beach area. Vendors are interesting people though, get yourself a Coco-Loco and a carved turtle from John.

Nice bay with resorts, restaurants and the famous Dr Doolittle's coffee. There's a free boat to access there. Very peaceful and calm, there's also a nice little beach to hang out.
Luislukas — Google review
Absolutely wonderful resort. The bungalows are tidy and beautiful, colonial decoration. The bars and restaurants are out of this world and the quality of the services are outstanding. The pools and the private beach accessible by free ferry are stunning. If I had to mention one thing though it would be to not be in a rush when ordering food and drinks as it might take some time but, there’s no rush when we are in holiday. The staff was very friendly and I can’t wait to come back again. Thank you so much

Incredible works of wooden art. Mr. Eudovic's large sculptures are museum quality. We enjoyed meeting him and seeing his stunning collection of sculptures. I have never seen such quality craftsmanship, merits being a national heritage for St. Lucia. We were misled by Google maps. I submitted a correction to Google and hopefully it has been approved by the time you read this review. The location is on the main road with a clearly marked sign on the right hand side when coming from Castries. When we called them, they helped us find the way.

Visited this restaurant last night with my family and wow. The ambient lighting and Bayfront view is beyond stunning. We enjoyed a few appetizers and I am still thinking about the mussels. The portion sizes were just right and the staff were very attentive. Probably my favourite dining experience of my trip.
Tiah A — Google review
The atmosphere was nice. I enjoyed the setting that was created, similar to a Bali inspired theme. The food was also decent. Not amazing, but still enjoyable. I was a bit let down by the level of service and also having some dirty utensils. As a visitor to St. Lucia, I was expecting more, based on feedback from the locals.

Had the Dorado with garlic butter sauce and it was amazing. The fish was fresh, tender, and full of flavor with perfect sides. Beautiful waterfront setting with warm lighting and a peaceful breeze. Service was friendly, attentive, and made the evening feel special. 100% recommend The Coal Pot, it’s a must visit.

The Coal Pot is a great option if you’re looking for a place to eat in Castries. It’s located near George F. L. Charles Airport and Vigie Beach, with a beautiful waterside/marina view. The open, terrace-style seating makes it feel airy and relaxed, and you can really enjoy both the food and the scenery. A lovely spot to unwind.
Francine L — Google review
Sketchy road coming in but wow! Delicious food and beautiful restaurant. We reserved a waterfront table. I got the tuna and I have dietary restrictions so no butter and no oil and they managed to grill the tuna and use lemon instead!! I thought that was so creative because it tasted sooo good. The Dorado was also super good! There are mosquitos and I denied the bug spray offered because of the smell but I did wake up the next morning with a lot of bug bites, my fault, so use it. The water is gorgeous and there’s a turtle who likes to visit. You can also see crabs. Very dim lighting. Overall recommend trying this restaurant!
Ginny R — Google review
Amazing food. Great service. The perfect restaurant for a date. We drove there and will recommend to use a Susuki Jimmy or a similar vehicle as there is an open road to arrive there. Drive slowly and Be careful with the dogs that are sleeping near the gate entrance when leaving at night.

Château Mygo House of Seafood

Mentioned on

$$$$affordable
Restaurant
Chateau Mygo House of Seafood is a local restaurant located waterside in Marigot Bay. His cuisine is an exotic fusion of East Indian and Creole cooking. The service is good, the salad with a tasty vinaigrette was a highlight, and the shrimp and ribs were overpriced but very big and tender. The ribs were very tender and had a good sauce, but only got 5 of them.
The Place was extremely clean and the drinks were superb. The beef in the beef Roti was soo soft and tender and flavourful. This is the best Mango chutney that I have ever had on top of that roti. The waitress was really good and she was quick!!

Staff was very unpleasant. I went to the bar on two occasions while I was waiting for my food and no one was at the bar to attend to me. The bartender was actually sitting on her phone at a table, I literally thought she was a guest. I explained to the server I have been waiting at the bar get drinks and there was no one to attend to me. The server also gave me attitude.

Amazing experience @ Chateau Mygo House. The view is breathtaking and the service from Jahmile was exceptional! she made us feel at home. The fish was very fresh and tasty. The drinks were also very nice. Ild recommend the creole sauce on anything! Food would have been 5/5 if our fish roti came with fish - fish to potato was skewed. Heavy on the potato.

Have been to Chateau Mygo House of Seaford twice and each time the food has been excellent. Set in a beautiful location on the water it is a gem of a restaurant with wonderful staff and an excellent choice of food especially if you like seafood.

Roots 2

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
Bar & grill
Roots 2 is a top-rated restaurant located in Marigot Bay, St. Lucia, offering the best of St. Lucian cuisine with a focus on Caribbean seafood. The establishment has garnered praise for its delectable BBQ chicken, seafood, burgers, and pasta dishes. It is known for its breathtaking views and welcoming atmosphere for both adults and children. The restaurant's owners, Sue and Fluffy, are described as energetic and chatty with kids, creating a family-friendly environment.
If you are in St Lucia, a visit to this beautiful restaurant and bar is a must! The reviews speak for themselves - Fluffy and Sue are fantastic hosts, and instantly make you feel like family - we had their reggae chicken and it was the best meal we’ve had on the island in over a week - really delicious! The view is beautiful too, and it’s great value for money. We also happened to watch their episode of restaurants on the edge on Netflix - super interesting and definitely worth a watch before visiting, you’ll get a feel of the whole island and also a taste of the heart and spirit of the restaurant! Thanks so much for such a memorable evening - if we are ever on the island again we will definitely be back!
Elizabeth D — Google review
We had the chicken and the coconut shrimp. The shrimp was a hit for sure! One less star because the provisions came cold/lukewarm, and I'd like a fully hot meal. Drinks are limited but sufficient. Beautiful atmosphere and the view is lovely. There's no dedicated parking space, so you just park on the side of the road where it suits you. The opening hours on Google is not accurate. It's best to contact Sue to ask when they're open and to book. They cater for the number of people on the day to reduce food waste and to ensure everything is fresh. Definitely worth a visit!
Nina J — Google review
Roots 2 is a hidden gem nestled in the heart of the community, with a hillside view of the ocean and boats. Offering a taste of the Caribbean that's as authentic as it gets. From the moment you walk through the front, you're enveloped in the warm embrace of family vibes and the tantalizing aroma of spices wafting from the kitchen. The menu is a celebration of Caribbean cuisine, featuring a vibrant mix of flavors and textures that cater to all dietary preferences. Whether you're a meat lover, vegetarian, or vegan, there's something here to tempt your taste buds. From jerk chicken bursting with fiery flavor to comforting coconut curry loaded with fresh vegetables, each dish is made to order with the utmost care and attention to detail. But what truly sets Roots 2 apart is the unmistakable taste of home cooking infused into every bite. It's like being transported to a family kitchen in the Caribbean, where recipes are passed down from the one of the owner’s (Fluffy) mother and every meal is made with love. The staff treat you like kin. Definitely a must if you’re in St. Lucia. Call ahead and make a reservation.
D. M — Google review
My partner and I had a delicious meal here! We enjoyed every bite of the chicken and the fresh sides. Fluffy and Sue are such a sweet couple and really make you feel at home. Sue even offered us advice about what to see in our remaining time on the island. She connected us with a taxi driver and followed up to make sure we were all set! It was so kind of her to go out of her way to help us. Would highly recommend the Roots experience!

If you are in the Marigot Bay area and don't eat at Roots 2, you should tear up your passport and never travel again. You have to make a reservation and order in advance. Your choices are fish or chicken and the menu depends on what's fresh that day. We both had the fish, as the chicken on the island has been fair at best. The fish was spectacular. The entire plate was spectacular. This is a can't miss experience that's nothing like sitting in a fancy resort restaurant but with food that's far better.

Been here for 8 days and will say this was the best meal we’ve had on the island! Reservations are a must and you must order in advance. Once it’s gone, it’s gone. Ms Sue is so warm and accommodating. She managed a to go order for us after our meal but she made an exception to make this happen. Let’s talk the food tho…ooooh weee! Get the reggae chicken. It was phenomenal! The curry chicken was also amazing. Wish we’d found this place when we arrived. You will not be disappointed. I need more than 5 stars to give Roots 2👊🏾. Telling everyone in the states about Roots 2.

What an experience. Me and the family have been visiting family over in St Lucia and my partner found roots via TripAdvisor. It was her 30th and when I spoke to Sue she went above and beyond to help and ensure we were well looked after! The food, OUTSTANDING rustic, fresh, earthy and pure Lucian home cooked food can’t speak highly enough about roots and Sue and Fluffys hospitality. If you’re in St Lucia, it’s a MUST. PS also watch them on the Netflix series Restaurants on the Edge!

The Pink Plantation House in Castries offers a delightful dining experience with a diverse menu featuring Caribbean, seafood, and vegetarian dishes. The restaurant's vibrant decor and lush surroundings create an enchanting atmosphere for enjoying world-class cuisine. Set in a colonial-style building with picturesque views of Castries and the Caribbean Sea, this heritage site turned restaurant serves traditional dishes with a modern twist.
This review is for the restaurant only. Very exciting from the second you arrive. You have to ring the bell to enter and you are greeted by one of the servers. The plantation building is amazing. It has such an island feel to the design and open airiness to it. The grounds are impeccably maintain with a fantastic dining porch and views. The food and drinks were delicious. There was a great mixture of tourist and local folks dining.

Our favourite meal of our holiday. The food is incredible. We took our boys for lunch who both ate from the adult (no kids menu) and finished their food. The service is very good, calm and attentive. The gardens are beautiful and full of wildlife which kept our boys (5 & 8) entertained as they filmed and photographed everything they spotted. The gallery has some seriously nice things in it to the pottery and paintings are stunning. I would absolutely recommend coming. Especially for couples and a group of adults looking for a luxurious lunch. The photos don’t do it justice it’s very unique.

We had a family meal at the Plantation & had a wonderful time, lovely cocktails & food. It is set in the middle of a old Plantation with great views. The restraunt has still retained it's old feel & has some lovely ceramics for sale their produced buy the owners I think. We will be definitely be visiting again we had a fantastic experience with all our family plus grandchildren. We ate out on the varanda which was very pleasent & relaxing where the children could potter about & look at the view. Was a very chilled atmosphere.

We went back after many enjoyable visits over the.years and were thoroughly disappointed. The less than friendly greeting at the gate, the dumbing down of the rum punch, the unavailability of the local crab back, the service and lack of atmosphere mean it is not an experience we will be seeking to repeat.

Delicious food and more reasonably priced than some of the other upscale restaurants. We had the catch of the day with coconut curry sauce. I wanted to eat that sauce with everything it was so good.

It was a delight visiting this place. Located in Castries and overlooking the water front, we had lunch here.

VERY FAKE & DISSAPPOINTING PLACE! The picture you see in google is fake & dish presentation doesn’t look like it & tasted horrible. DO NOT GET cheese pizza, dough is not even a pizza dough, cheese doesn’t taste good & vegan roti is horrible. It looks like someone puked pot pie bases. I don’t usually get disappointed easily when it comes to food BUT this place is definitely that’s worth writing a review for customer/ tourist who looks at the reviews & picks the place. It is also overrated as this is right next to port, customer service is not great! Here, I’m attaching vegie/ vegan roti picture below. I hope this review helps people who is new to town. I wish someone had posted review like this so I could’ve been aware of the food and services.

Rather than detail what went wrong I'll say this. Success in running a restaurant is not gained concisely. It's about consistency and longevity. Our experience was not good. In fact we all got sick. So attention to food handling, temperature and cross contamination is always important. Chef humble yourself and get back to the core of what will keep you doing what you obviously love but doing it consistently safely and well. Bamboo shot was cool!

Lovely ambience in this restaurant. We had live music where a man sung and played the steel drum while we had our food served. We liked the fact that the restaurant offered both Caribbean and European dishes as I wanted a fried snapper and my husband wanted pizza so we were able to find a restaurant in the port that catered to both of our wants! Their homemade hot sauce is also diving!

Pink Papaya was so nice we went twice! If you’re in the Castries area or stopping by from a cruise, this is a great spot to eat. It’s located at Pointe Seraphine, right by the St. Lucia sign and the souvenir shops at the port. The food is delicious — the complimentary salad and lentils are a great touch — and everything felt fresh and well-prepared. The atmosphere is laid-back and outdoor, so don’t go expecting AC, but do expect great food, friendly service, and a welcoming island vibe. Highly recommend for anyone passing through Castries!

The Upper Deck Restaurant

The Upper Deck Restaurant in Castries, St. Lucia offers breathtaking coastal views and a tropical open-air ambiance. It is renowned for its Caribbean and Jamaican cuisine, with the Jamaican jerk-style mahi-mahi being a crowd favorite. The restaurant provides excellent hospitality and friendly service, making it an ideal spot for special occasions like anniversaries or weddings. While the food is highly recommended, it's worth noting that dining here can be pricey if not on an all-inclusive plan.
Our server, Joshua, was excellent. My husband enjoyed a ribeye with bordelaise sauce and I loved the mahi-mahi entree. The cute kittens may have convinced me to give them some of our scraps.
Michelle V — Google review
We liked it but glad we only went once. Expensive if you’re not in the all inclusive, and the other restaurants were just as good for less $. We got the wedge salad, tuna sashimi, steak and chips, and Korean bbq stripsteak. Dessert was the apple crumble. Steaks were cooked perfectly. Dessert wasn’t that impressive, we didn’t really like the coconut sorbet, would’ve been better with vanilla ice cream. I would’ve liked to see more variety in the dessert offering. There were 3 cats going between the tables looking for scraps.
Amelia T — Google review
Coming in the atmosphere is stunning. Beautiful outdoor seating with a gorgeous view of the ocean. Appetizer was fantastic, tuna sashimi was 10/10. For my main course I ordered the surf and turf. When my main course arrived, I was in utter shock. $100 usd for a minuscule portion of sirloin, bland steamed vegetables, tasteless potatoes, and 3 tiny over- cooked shrimp. I was very upset. Also, during my meal, the waiter had asked if I had “changed my mind” on ordering a drink. I do not drink alcohol so when I had told him I was I was all set the first time, I was not expecting him to ask me again, especially mid meal. Overall, great appetizer and ambience but when it comes to main courses, it’s over priced for a meal that is very much below par.

As a returning customer for 5 years I expect better. KNOW YOUR CUSTOMERS! I celebrate my birthday at this restaurant every year sometimes twice in one month. This is the only restaurant I eat at. I had a reservation for my birthday and I always indicate that it is and there's was no record of it when I came everyone else's was acknowledged their chairs were decorated, sang HBD, got complimentary desert etc. The staff are familiar with us when we come in and should've at least asked to make sure whether it was my birthday or not. This isn't the first time I remember it happened before and a waitress was kind enough to ask if it's my birthday and offered me complimentary cake. I always recommend this restaurant and I book group reservations and my family and friends go there all the time. I was very disappointed to see that no one asked and after we paid the bill it didn't make sense to mention it so we left it be. I know if Sasha the supervisor was present she would've known and make it happen, she always gives excellent service from day one.

To be honest I was a little hesitant to go here after reading some of the reviews. But after talking to some locals I decided to give it a try and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The place was hopping, the music jiving, and the food and drinks were tasty. We went on Friday and the menu was all grilled. I chose the grilled pork chop and three sides—-mashed potatoes, creamy mac & cheese, spicy noodles. My pork chop was big and grilled well (and the sauce with it balanced perfectly) and the Mac and cheese was spot on! I also have to give a huge shout out to Jessy, our server, who was polite, attentive, and sweet. As to some who said the service was slow in their reviews, maybe for them it was, but you’re on an island and I went in thinking island time and left pleasantly surprised!

What a great place. Felt amazing to have home cooked bbq food (I had the bbq chicken, wife had the grilled fish). Comes with salad (banana) and other veg, all was faultless. It is wonderful to have some home cooked food, as being stuck in a resort nearby, it's great to go for a walk and a grab lunch. Waiters and staff were very friendly. Before you leave, make sure you have the creme caramel, it was laced with rum and I think condensed milk - was absolutely phenomenal and topped with a couple of moreno cherries. I will be coming back again, I am just sad that I can't come tomorrow as you are closed on Sunday - much deserved rest 😀. Keep up the great food!

George F. L. Charles Airport, also known as SLU, is situated just outside Castries and is a mere 8-minute drive to the city center. It's a small airport with duty-free stores, a coffee cafe, a bank, souvenir shops, and car rental services available. The airport has tight security and offers airport taxi services for travelers' convenience. Despite its size, it caters to small Caribbean airlines and private planes.
It's a really small airport so once you've landed it's a short stroll up to immigration then a few steps over to customs. All team members that we encountered were helpful and genuinely friendly.

The safety and security of every country starts with immigration and customs. So I would not fault the staff I encountered for the resolute and focus presence at the airport today, May 2nd. However, coming from a country where hospitality is prominent, I wasn't quite pleased with the lack of pleasantries at this airport. And that observation was shared by other travellers I met on the outside. No greetings. No, welcome to Saint Lucia. No, enjoy your stay. I get that they have a job to do. But when your country was chosen from many as the country of choice to visit for vacation or to attend an event like the Jazz Music Festival, it wouldn't hurt or affect the job if the staff express pleasantries or some politeness. I've landed here in transit many times before, but this was my first visiting Saint Lucia for vacation purposes. This has not affected my first few hours of being here. The staff at the hotel where I am at is awesome and quite hospitable.

Argyle International Airport

Argyle International Airport is a crucial infrastructure asset in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, serving as the country's first international airport. It acts as the primary gateway to the nation, offering connections to major airports such as Miami International Airport, John F. Kennedy International Airport, Toronto Pearson International Airport, and London Heathrow Airport. The airport boasts modern facilities and friendly staff who provide excellent customer service.
Just a few years old, the newly built airport is nice and a huge step up from the previous one...now an international airport with the big carriers now able to fly in and out direct...no need to stop off in Barbados to connect...readily available taxis with plenty of parking, clean and nicely appointed...a 15-20 minutes drive will take you on to the Villa area where there's lots of beachfront and sea views accommodations for all budgets, at first I thought not much is here for an upgraded airport until you head upstairs in the departure lounge for the big aircrafts with boarding bridges, nice shops with duty-free, bar and restaurant with a food court, there's even a higher level for VIP guests, so definitely in line with international standards.

The main airport in Saint Vincent is Argyle International. Apparently, they built a new terminal a few years ago. It is not impressive at all. Food choices are lousy, hardly any shopping and people who work there are clueless about the needs for frequent travelers. Check in counter staff, for First or Business Class on American Airlines are un knowledgeable. Do they realize that for those of travelers who have paid top dollar (US and not EC), in First and/or Business Class need enhanced service and at least, a lounge. They laughed at me when I asked where it was. But hello, there is a lounge. And guess what? It is a VIP lounge and it is only for Diplomats. Really? So frequent travelers pay, big bucks, to support and travel through here, but it is the politicians who gets the lounge. Gates are chaotic, no orderly departure traffic and announcements are hurried and unclear. Don’t get me wrong. St. Vincent is a stunning island. Lovely people, fantastic food, superb music and that magnetic inviting weather. But this airport needs serious work. Why do we have to pay for these kind of expensive cabin airline tickets to fly in and out of here, when we do not get adequate and high class service?

I recently traveled through Argyle International Airport, the airport is relatively small but has a couple of nice amenities, including two souvenir stores and a convenient eating area. There is a food court upstairs. the air conditioning didn’t seem to work very well, making it quite warm and uncomfortable. Additionally, our flight was delayed, and the waiting area was noisy and a bit chaotic, as there weren't enough seats.
NirzVlogs — Google review
Nice building with adequate seating in appropriate areas. Well kept. Restrooms reasonably clean. Immigration and security lines adequately staffed, wait time minimal. Shopping is standard with adequate selection of local goods / souvenirs. When we arrived in evening, there was no organization of the taxi process, e.g. tourist-aware airports usually have a person who gives arriving passengers a ticket showing standard taxi fare, which provides some reassurance one is paying the correct cost. Adding this would have made our experience a bit better. Lastly, we came to love St. Vincent, but some passengers may not enjoy seeing Castro and Chávez seemingly glorified inside this airport near the VIP lounge. Yeah maybe they helped develop the airport (?), but do the local leaders understand that displaying this is not going to feel good to some of their visitors? Could you pay your tribute in a different more neutral way? I thought that St. Vincent was trying to promote tourism to help the local economy, if so, might it be better for business to be less transparent on your politics/allies? Thankfully local leaders are at least clever enough to display this only to departing passengers.

Hewanorra International Airport

Airport
Hewanorra International Airport (UVF) is the main point of entry for most air travelers visiting Saint Lucia. Situated near Vieux Fort, it serves as a hub for large aircraft arriving from North America and Europe. Travelers can arrange affordable transportation and private chef services through various booking options. Shuttle buses, luxury cars, or helicopters are available for transfers to resorts from the airport. Despite its small size, the airport offers a few restaurants and friendly staff.
It is what it is, a small airport on a small island. Yes, it’s hot and crowded and has very little shopping. But there are some positives…there’s a Sandals Lounge upon arrival and the Iyanola Executive Lounge upon departure. Find these places, they make the wait much better. Also, we checked in and out very quickly. It’s probably a 2 or 3 star airport, but it’s a 4 if you know how to navigate it.

There are not enough chairs to handle the number of traveller's so be prepared to stand or sit on the floor. No place to charge phones either. There are a few places to get something to eat and drink and a few shops that offer some great gifts. All of our flights required a long walk under a covered sidewalk and then out in the open to steps...it was pretty cool. This is the only airport I have ever visited where they reopened the plane door to let on a tardy passenger. Unbelievable.
Seth G — Google review
The airport's check-in and security processes functioned adequately, providing a relatively smooth experience. However, the overall infrastructure presents significant challenges to an efficient travel experience. Navigating the terminal, particularly during peak hours, proved to be a frustrating endeavor. Furthermore, the available amenities and services within the airport fall short of expected standards. Ultimately, the airport's shortcomings detract from an otherwise essential aspect of modern travel. The current situation regarding seating arrangements could be improved. The lack of air conditioning creates an uncomfortable environment. It is also noticeable how overcrowded the space becomes during peak hours. Perhaps the prices of the food could be reevaluated to better align with the overall experience. Consequently, these factors collectively detract from an otherwise enjoyable experience. The customer service experience at the Mano duty-free shop was notably unpleasant. The staff members demonstrated a lack of assistance, creating a frustrating environment. Their unhelpful attitudes detracted significantly from the shopping experience. This behavior ultimately reflects poorly on the establishment as a whole. A more customer-focused approach would greatly benefit the business's reputation. They should not be working with the public. Maybe it's time to replace them.

I did get chosen for a more thorough search and questioning, but the staff were professional and I was on my way pretty quickly. I cant find fault with being airside in under 20 mins. Its important to note that this is a small international airport on a Caribbean island. You will not get the number of facilities that you get at a larger airport. Its unreasonable to expect what you'd get at Gatwick. Prices of some of the snacks are in line with other airports however (rip off) There are souvenir shops here for last min purchases for yourself and loved ones, but best thing about this place is alcohol. There are 2 shops where you can purchase alcohol and tobacco (ensure you get there before 8 or 8:30pm for those on the last flight out). For the rum lovers... you can definitely get your rum here before you leave. At prices definitely cheaper than the UK. There is Chairmans Reserve, Bounty, Marigot Bay... (Admiral Rodney is more expensive obviously being a premium rum, but its cheaper to buy that direct from St. Lucia Distilleries). I got 1 litre of Bounty Dark for $17.00, which is £12-13 which imo is a bargain. Another great buy are the massive bottles of Chairmans original and Bounty Gold (make sure you don't go over your alcohol limit). Dont bother buying non St. Lucia alcohol here (e.g. the Bajan rum). Its too expensive. Keep your purchases strictly local.

For such a small, outdated airport, the price of mediocre food and last minute souvenirs is a ripoff ($30 for chicken tenders and a water bottle, $8-12 for a magnet). Limited seating during peak hours, tight areas walking around, no place to charge your phone, coffee shop is also closed for renovation currently.

The airport is fine however we waited 2 hours for a taxi into Mexico City. Busses were even longer and everyone seems to think this is normal. I cannot fathom how a major airport cannot organise enough ground transport. I would avoid this airport at all costs

Martinique Aimé Césaire International Airport

International airport
Martinique Aimé Césaire International Airport offers a pleasant arrival experience with its tropical surroundings and friendly staff. While not very large, the airport provides adequate facilities and services for travelers. Visitors can find restaurants, bars, and shops both inside and outside the terminal, making it convenient to grab a bite or do some shopping. The process of picking up rental cars is straightforward with shuttle services available.
So my rating is a 4.5. The old airport probably wasn't very nice. It's being renovated as I sit here awaiting a return flight to the US. When we arrived over a week ago, deplaning _ baggage claim was very quick. Inbound passport control was very efficient. But, perhaps due to the renovation, it was quite confusing finding the rental car pickup. It will eventually be right there for you before you exit the terminal on the lower level, but for now those offices are not open and there's no signage in French or English. Zippo. When you come back here to leave Martinique, it's pretty easy. So you check in on the lower level, where you enter. For AA at least, they opened the queue exactly 3 hrs before the flight. Mid week, this place is pretty much empty. Their version of TSA didn't ask for removal of shoes or belts, at least for our group, and we were just about the only ones going through the line. Weekends, I've been told, can be *mobbed. But on our Thursday mid day, a total breeze. The departure area is the upstairs area, and it's new & quite nice. Shopping, and some cafe like places.

We came through Martinique to catch our crusie ship. It was late when we arrived and was thankful there were taxis available to take us to the port which was $35 Euros or $ 40 US. Some taxis don't accept US so I recommend changing your cash if you can. Our departure however was not horrible. I will not recommend using this airport only if it's the last resort. We arrived 3 hours before and boarding opened 1 hour before the flight time. The departure time displayed board was wrong to begin with. Our boarding pass stated gate 12 which was on the other end of the airport. Our flight was scheduled to leave 5.15pm at 4.45 there was no announcement or Caribbean Airlines representative at the desk. One of the person in our group got a text msg informing her that boarding is at gate 9. When we went ot inquire the person at counter 9 was very rude to us. Eventually we found out that boarding is at gate 3 instead. Which is on the side of the airport. The representative at the counter did not apologize for the delay whatsoever. We had to wait another 15 mins to board the plane because it was not ready after walking through the ramp. Our flight was delayed further because of the confusion some of the customers got lost and got stuck in an elevator. The flight left 1 hour later. I will never visit Martinique and don't recommend it to anyone. There is no food court.

Awesome Caribbean style airport with awesome efficiency, awesome views, awesome staff and service. Toronto Pearson Airport could learn a lot from Aime Cesaire airport. Take off views are mint, and remind you of how green and great the island is

4pm December 21, 2024. All of the departure area washrooms have NO running water No toilet paper or hand towels. No maintenance personnel around. Filth and toilet paper scattered everywhere. Our trip to Martinique was FANTASTIC until now.

First experience in Martinique went well. When landing, it was pleasant to see some coconut trees in the airport (comparing to all the concret buildings with no trees in most airports). The airport is not very big thus it took us a while to get the luggages which was understandable as we came in the school holiday season in France thus many tourists. It is not a mordent airport but all facilities are ok and the staff were super nice. Would definitely come back to visit the island. The return trip was more chaotic - when we arrived 3 hours before, there was already a huge queue for all flights (mainly going back to France). Luckily the security let us cut the line in the end since we had a small kid.

One of the worst international airports I've been to. The staff speaks very little English, everything is overpriced, and there is only one food option after security. Furthermore, there was no information provided about our flight delay. We ended up waiting for over four hours and had to find updates ourselves on the airline's app.

The airport gave me a nightmare, instead of a pleasant vacation finish. No AC, the lady in the cafeteria at the "international airport" doesn't speak any word of English. Plus, they can't even give up-to-date info about flights. Mine should start at 17.15, and at 17.35, we didn't even start boarding. No information, no one cares

Looks modern but very poor processes within it. Very long hot passport queues with 4 people checking- no automatic machines, even though most people are French. Security very poor, looking at boarding cards at this stage slows it all down. Hot glass airbridges. Why don’t they look at other airports and follow best practices
