St Lucia-How much spending money?

wherediditallgothen

Going to St Lucia in roughly 3 weeks time, and we are staying all inclusive. I was just wondering how much spending money to take for a 10 day holiday for 2 adults? It's been a while since I was last abroad, and I haven't really got a clue so if anyone could give me the benefit of their advice please that would be great.

Thanks

If you are planning on staying in the hotel for the whole time then you will be spending next to nothing.
You might find the novelty of sunbathing, constant food and low quality cocktails drives you crazy after a few days. When I went I got a bit bored and went on a tour through the rainforest, cruise on a yacht and an island safari type thing. These trips were fairly expensive, but highly enjoyable...so good value for money. I think a budget of £150 per person would definitely be sufficient. Maybe a bit more if you are planning on heading into town for some beers/rums.
Often you can arrange the trips cheaper yourself rather than booking through the hotel rep.
Have a great holiday.

You should look to see what trips are available and what you are interested in doing and cost them up. On top of that any money for drinks out the complex and any gifts/duty free you wish to take home.

have a lovely time.
