No. You have the entire apartment to yourself.  It is a self catering apartment with all the amenities.  You manage your holiday home.  However, we live in the second apartment downstairs so should you need any assistance, feel free to knock on our door or send us a whatsapp message.

Since the apartment is self catering we do not generally provide meals.  However, we would be most happy to do so at your request.  We provide an in-house menu from which you can choose and our prices are very reasonable.  Remember however, if you book Gravills vacation Rental through this, our website for your St Lucia holiday, we will provide your first meal as advertised.

We are 15.3 km (9.5 miles), a maximum of 15 minutes drive away from Hewanorra International airport.  We are 45 km (28 miles), a maximum 1-hour drive from George F L Charles Airport in Castries.

From the apartment, make a left turn onto the Tirocher high road. You will come across the speed bump located at the Tirocher School junction. Drive slowly. On the left, you will come across a dirt road less than 1 minute away (first turning). You may park your vehicle and ask anyone for Mary's shop.

If you have no luck with Mary, continue driving up the Tirocher high road. Drive past the Multi-purpose and the Tirocher Health Centers. There is a bus shelter at the entrance to the Health Center. Slow down and ask anyone for Lyndon / Amigo's shop. From this point, you can see the shop on the right side of the road.



 

No, you don't have to. We provide all towels and much more.

Jennie from London England stayed in December of 2018.  She wrote in her review, "All you need is your food, clothes and money!" Well, I'd say don't forget your beach slippers, a hat, loose cotton clothing, insect repellent and sunglasses.

If we have a back-to-back booking, meaning, a new guest has reserved the apartment on the day of your departure, we will be unable to extend the checkout time. If we do not have a new reservation, we would extend your checkout for up to one hour free of charge. For an extension of up to 5 pm, the charge would be 50% of the daily rate. Anytime after that, it becomes a new booking.
