Money-Saving Tips
Take public buses instead of taxis when possible - saves 70-80% on island transport
Shop at local markets and grocery stores for snacks and breakfast - resort shops charge 100-150% markup
Eat at local restaurants in Basseterre and away from resorts - typically 50-70% cheaper
Book tours and activities directly rather than through resorts - saves 25-40%
Visit during shoulder season (April-May or October-November) for 30-50% lower accommodation
Bring reef-safe sunscreen and beach gear from home - local prices very high
Use water taxis between beaches instead of land taxis - often cheaper and more scenic

Not booking activities in advance during peak season - walk-up rates 20-40% higher
Taking taxis everywhere instead of trying public buses for main routes - can triple transport budget
Exchanging money at cruise port or resort instead of local banks - lose 5-10% on exchange rates
