Airports & Transfers

Many large resorts -- particularly the all-inclusive ones -- and package tour operators provide round-trip airport transfers. That's a significant amenity if you're landing at Hewanorra, as the one-way taxi fare for the 60- to 90-minute ride (depending on whether you're headed to Soufrière or Castries) is expensive -- $55 to $75 for up to four passengers. Taxis are always available at the airports.
