The Castries cruise port is one of the most scenic stops in the Eastern Caribbean and a resort day pass is one of the best ways to spend your time on the island. Instead of piecing together individual activities, you get all-inclusive access to a resort’s beach, pools, food, and drinks for one fixed price.

We’ve cruised to St Lucia multiple times and have done the typical tours. They’re wonderful. St Lucia has dramatic Piton mountains, pristine beaches, lush rainforest, and incredibly friendly people. But we’ve found that the most relaxing way to enjoy everything St Lucia has to offer is with a resort day pass.

Below, we compare every St Lucia resort day pass option available to cruise passengers. We include pricing, ratings, amenities, and distance from the cruise port. You’ll find everything that you need to make the best decision possible for your St Lucia shore excursion!

// FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much is a St Lucia resort day pass?

Adult passes cost $100 to $164, depending on the resort and what is included. Child passes cost $60 to $92.

Which St Lucia day pass is closest to the cruise port?

Coco Palm is the closest, about 30 minutes from the cruise port by road.

Are transfers included?

Transfers are included with Bay Gardens Beach Resort with Transfers: Day Pass, Bay Gardens Beach Resort with Transfers: Aqua Venture Day Pass and Bay Gardens Beach Resort with Transfers: Spa Day Pass. The other passes do not include transfers, so plan on a taxi from the pier.

Can kids use a St Lucia resort day pass?

Kids are welcome at The Harbor Club (ages 5 to 11), Coco Palm (ages 2 to 12), Bay Gardens Beach Resort with Transfers: Day Pass (ages 4 to 12), Bay Gardens Beach Resort with Transfers: Aqua Venture Day Pass (ages 4 to 12), Royalton Saint Lucia (ages 3 to 12) and Bay Gardens Beach Resort with Transfers: Spa Day Pass.

How do I get from Castries cruise port to the resort?

Just grab a taxi right outside the cruise terminal. The resort options near Castries are typically a short ride away. There are always plenty of drivers waiting when ships arrive. Some resorts include round-trip transfers in the day pass price, so it’s worth checking the details. Quick tip: agree on the fare before you get in.

Do I need to book my St Lucia resort day pass ahead of time?

We’d strongly recommend booking in advance. Day passes can sell out fast, particularly during the busy cruise season from November through April. Reserving early locks in your price and makes sure you have a guaranteed spot. You can book online through the links in each resort listing above.

Is a St Lucia resort day pass worth it?

We’d say it’s one of the smartest things you can do on port day. Think about it: chair rental runs $20+, then you’re paying for food, drinks, and any activities on top of that. A typical DIY beach day can easily run past $100 per person, and you’re still managing all the logistics. A day pass rolls everything into one price, gives you resort-quality amenities, and lets you actually relax instead of planning. It’s the best way to enjoy St Lucia without the stress.

// Our take

Our take: you can't go wrong with a St Lucia resort for a day

Choosing an excursion is tough. Standard tours are great, but they can be hit or miss. These resorts are built for one thing: your relaxation. Any of the options above takes the risk out of your St Lucia port day.
