Private St Lucia Airport Transfer to Secrets St. Lucia Resort
The best part of this St Lucia airport transfer is the easy handoff: your driver meets you outside the airport with your name on a sign, loads your bags, and takes your group straight to Secrets St. Lucia Resort in Choc. I like the private vehicle and the choice of either airport, especially after a long flight.
I also like the live commentary. Drivers including Roland, Ed, and Shevy have been praised for safe driving, island information, and stopping at picturesque spots for photos. The main thing to consider is the 75 to 90 minute travel time, which can change with traffic and time of day.
Key points at a glance

- Two airport choices: Arrange pickup from Hewanorra International Airport or George FL Charles Airport.
- A private ride for your group: You do not share the vehicle with other parties.
- A clear airport meeting point: Look for a driver holding a sign with your name after you exit the airport.
- Helpful island commentary: Drivers point out landmarks and can add context during the journey.
- One-way or round-trip booking: Choose the option that fits your arrival and departure plans.
- Free cancellation up to 24 hours ahead: Changes made inside that window are not accepted.
A private arrival in Choc, without the airport scramble

Arriving in St Lucia can be tiring, and the first practical question is often simple: how do I get from the airport to the resort? This service answers it in advance. You book your transfer, leave the terminal, and look for a driver holding a sign with your name clearly written on it.
After the greeting, the driver escorts you to the private vehicle and loads your luggage. You then set off for Secrets St. Lucia Resort in Choc, on the Castries to Gros Islet highway. The ride is not just a vehicle handoff. Live commentary is included, so your driver can point out landmarks along the way and help you begin getting your bearings on the island.
I like this arrangement because it removes several small decisions from arrival day. You do not need to work out airport transport on the spot, negotiate a ride, or wonder if the driver knows your resort. Your destination is already specified, and your name sign gives you a clear way to identify the right person.
The service is private, but the price is listed at $45 per person and can vary according to whether you select one-way or round-trip service. Group discounts are offered, so the value may improve for larger parties. You should check the final total carefully when booking, particularly if you are comparing this with a standard taxi fare.

Picking the right airport for your arrival
You can arrange pickup from either of St Lucia’s two airports:
- Hewanorra International Airport
- George FL Charles Airport
That choice matters because St Lucia’s airports serve different parts of the island, and your transfer time depends on where you land. The service is designed to cover either arrival point, so you can book the airport that matches your flight rather than arranging a separate ride after arrival.
The published transfer time is about one hour and 15 minutes to one hour and 30 minutes. Treat that as a useful planning range, not a fixed promise. Time of day and traffic can change the journey, and the exact duration is only approximate.
You should also check that your booking details match your flight and resort information. The meeting point given for the activity is Secrets St. Lucia Resort & Spa, Choc Bay, Castries to Gros Islet Highway, Choc, St Lucia. For an arrival transfer, the driver meets you at the airport and takes you to this resort. For a departure transfer, the driver meets you at the resort at the designated time and takes you back to the airport.
What happens when you leave the terminal

The arrival process is refreshingly direct. Once you exit the airport doors, look for your driver holding a sign with your name. After introductions, your luggage is loaded into the vehicle and you begin the drive.
That name-sign system is more useful than it sounds. Airports can be confusing after a flight, especially if several transport companies are waiting outside. A clearly marked sign gives you a simple visual check before you leave with the driver.
The service includes transport by private vehicle, and only your own group takes part. That means you are not waiting for a coach to fill up or stopping at several unrelated hotels. A private ride can be especially worthwhile if you are carrying substantial luggage or simply want to get to the resort without a long chain of pickups.
You should still allow a little patience at the airport. The transfer duration begins with the drive, but the complete arrival process also includes leaving the terminal, finding the sign, greeting the driver, and loading bags. The information provided does not specify an exact waiting time after your flight lands, so keep your booking details available and follow the meeting instructions carefully.
The drive to Secrets St. Lucia Resort

The journey to Choc is the main part of the experience. Instead of treating the ride as dead time, the service includes live commentary from the driver. Your driver may point out landmarks and explain what you are seeing as the road carries you toward the resort.
The quality of that commentary depends on the individual driver, but the named drivers receive strong praise for making the ride more interesting. Roland is described as a safe and cautious driver who shared plenty of information. Ed provided narration and identified picturesque spots suitable for photographs. Shevy, also written as Chevy in the feedback, answered questions and offered useful information about the island.
Those details matter because a transfer can be either a silent taxi ride or your first small introduction to St Lucia. Here, you have the chance to ask questions during the drive and notice more than the road ahead. If you would like a photo stop, it is sensible to ask politely, since the information indicates that scenic stops may be part of the driver’s approach but does not promise a fixed sightseeing itinerary.
This is not a full island tour. There are no scheduled attractions, meal stops, or extended visits described. The purpose is to move you safely between the airport and resort. The commentary adds interest, but you should book it for reliable transport first and scenic conversation second.

A closer look at the departure transfer

The return journey follows the same basic pattern. Your driver arrives at Secrets St. Lucia Resort at the designated time, loads your luggage, and drives you to the airport. On arrival, the luggage is unloaded.
The key issue here is timing. Since the drive is expected to take roughly 75 to 90 minutes, you need to allow enough time for the transfer and your airport procedures. Traffic can affect the trip, and the provider states that the exact duration depends on the time of day and road conditions.
A round-trip booking can make sense if you already know your departure plans and want the return ride arranged before your holiday begins. A one-way booking is more flexible if you only need help getting from the airport to the resort or if your return transport will be arranged separately.
Before confirming, check whether the listed price applies to your selected direction. The available choices include one-way and round-trip private transfers, and prices vary. A group discount may help if you are traveling with family or friends, but the supplied information does not state the exact discount amount.
How the $45 price compares in value

At $45 per person, this is not simply a basic point-to-point fare. You are paying for a prearranged private vehicle, airport pickup, luggage assistance, and live commentary. You also gain the convenience of knowing that the ride has been organized before you land.
The value is strongest for a group that wants a simple arrival. Four people sharing a private ride may find the service more practical than booking several separate transport options, particularly if the group discount lowers the total. The price is less easy to judge for a solo visitor, since the charge is per person and the ride is private.
I would compare the final booking total with other airport transport options available to you. The important comparison is not only the fare. Consider the time saved, the direct ride to the resort, the airport greeting, and the comfort of having luggage handled for you.
The included commentary adds a pleasant touch, but I would not pay this price solely for sightseeing. The route is fundamentally a transfer, and the experience does not list a formal tour schedule or guaranteed photo stops.
Who will get the most from this transfer

This service suits you if you value a planned arrival and want to avoid making transport decisions after a flight. It is also a good match for couples, families, and small groups who want the vehicle to themselves.
You may especially appreciate it if:
- You are arriving at either Hewanorra or George FL Charles Airport and want the same booking process for both.
- You prefer a driver to meet you by name rather than search for a taxi.
- You want help with luggage at both ends of the journey.
- You enjoy hearing about landmarks while being driven.
- You need a return ride arranged in advance.
- You are traveling with a group and can use the available group discount.
It may be less appealing if you are focused only on finding the lowest possible fare, since the price is charged per person and the ride is private. It may also feel like more service than you need if you are comfortable arranging airport transport after landing.
Most travelers can participate, and the service is near public transportation. No special physical requirements are stated. If anyone in your party has a specific mobility or luggage need, you should confirm the vehicle arrangements before booking, since the available information does not describe the vehicle’s accessibility features.
Booking details worth checking before you pay

Confirmation is provided at the time of booking. You can select a one-way or round-trip transfer, and the price changes according to that choice. The service offers a mobile ticket, which is useful when you want the confirmation available on your phone rather than printed.
The meeting and destination information should be checked carefully. The resort is listed as Secrets St. Lucia Resort & Spa in Choc Bay, on the Castries to Gros Islet Highway. If your accommodation details change, update the provider as soon as possible.
Cancellation is free if you cancel at least 24 hours before the experience start time. If you cancel less than 24 hours before the start time, the amount paid is not refunded, and changes inside that period are not accepted. The cut-off follows local St Lucia time, so keep that in mind if you are arranging the ride from another country.
Should you book the Secrets St. Lucia airport transfer?
I would book this transfer if you want a private, prearranged ride and value a calm start or finish to your holiday. The airport name sign, luggage assistance, direct vehicle, and live commentary make it more useful than a bare taxi ride, while the drivers’ praised safety and island information add a personal touch.
The strongest practical reason to choose it is certainty. You know where to meet the driver, who the ride is for, and which resort is the destination. Roland, Ed, and Shevy have each been associated with safe driving and helpful commentary, though a specific driver cannot be guaranteed.
Think twice if your main goal is the absolute lowest cost, especially when traveling alone. But for a family or group that wants a private vehicle and would rather not sort out transport on arrival, the $45-per-person starting price can be reasonable. Just allow 75 to 90 minutes for the drive, check the one-way or round-trip total, and book outside the 24-hour cancellation window.
