5. The Body Holiday in St. Lucia
|
Solo travelers - who wants to head to St. Lucia?
I've had some better developments this week -I can now book the solo room (or a double room) in CAD with air and transfers from Ottawa (or another gateway). The dates are Jan.29-Feb.5.23. for 7-nights. The pricing is just over $6000
cad/p for a solo standard garden view room as an all-inclusive package with air and transfers. Let me know if you'd like to go! I'm depositing some clients this week, and the promo savings can disappear at any time.
You can watch the presentation with Randall Jackson of The Body Holiday St. Lucia above that talks all about visiting St. Lucia, and this fantastic wellness getaway at The Body Holiday on a recent Travel Tuesday.
And one client asked some questions that I dug into with Randall. I thought Randall's answers were worth sharing. *ALL of our classes (unless otherwise indicated) on the daily activity board (and in the weekly activity booklet) are included. In the picture below, there is a slide which shows 3 samples of “daily activities” written in chalk. Daily, it equates to 4
activities per hour to choose from starting at 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Totaling 40+ activities a day.
There are also certifications for Sailing and SCUBA offered. All guests are welcome to join for an inclusive consultation or introduction to SCUBA. If the guest wants to be certified during their stay there is a charge. Sailing works the same way.
