Common Questions

Everything You Need
to Know

How far in advance should we book?
We recommend booking 6–12 months in advance for peak season programs (December–April). However, we have facilitated successful programs booked as little as 8 weeks out. Reach out early to secure your preferred dates and venues, popular resorts and exclusive venues book quickly.
What size groups do you work with?
We comfortably accommodate groups from 15 to 500+ attendees. Whether it's an intimate C-suite retreat or a large-scale incentive program for your entire sales team, we scale our services and attention to match your group perfectly.
Do attendees need a passport to visit St. Croix?
No passport required for U.S. citizens. St. Croix is a U.S. territory, attendees only need a valid government-issued ID. This significantly simplifies international travel logistics and removes a common barrier for large group bookings. The U.S. dollar is the official currency, and U.S. cell plans work seamlessly.
What's included in your destination management services?
Everything your program needs, venue sourcing, hotel room block negotiation, all ground transportation, custom experiences and excursions, catering and F&B management, event production (A/V, staging, décor), on-site staffing, and 24/7 program support. We act as your full on-island logistics team so you never have to coordinate with individual vendors.
How does pricing work?
Every program is custom-priced based on group size, duration, selected venues, activities, and service level. We provide detailed, transparent proposals with no hidden fees. After your discovery call, you'll receive a comprehensive proposal within 5–7 business days. Contact us to discuss your budget range and we'll build the best possible program within it.
Can we visit St. Croix for a site inspection before booking?
Absolutely, and we strongly encourage it. We organize complimentary site inspections for qualified groups, coordinating venue tours, hotel walkthroughs, and experience previews. There's no better way to confirm that St. Croix is right for your program than experiencing it firsthand. Contact us to arrange your visit.

Still have questions? We'd love to talk.
