Ladera Guarantees Return COVID Test & Complimentary Accommodations

The new CDC guidelines require all air passengers arriving to the US, from a foreign country, to get tested, no more than 3-days, before their flight departs and to provide proof of the negative result or documentation of having recovered from COVID-19 to the airline before boarding the flight.
This Order will go into effect on January 26, 2021. Testing must be performed using a viral test ( NAAT or Antigen ) https://www.cdc.gov/quarantine/pdf/global-airline-testing-order_2021-01-2_R3-signed-encrypted-p.pdf

The UK also has the same CDC guidelines noted above when returning from St Lucia to the UK https://www.gov.uk/government/news/mandatory-covid-19-testing-introduced-to-bolster-border-measures

Therefore, Ladera guests from the US & UK will need a negative COVID test when they leave St Lucia to return home to their respective countries. We will take care of everything for our guests!
The Guarantee applies to all Guests staying a minimum of 4-nights at Ladera and will be applicable until the mandatory guideline is removed for the traveler’s respective country.

Ladera will provide you with a complimentary COVID antigen test which will be performed at the Ladera Nurse Station.

Ladera will guaranteed your COVID antigen test results in a 72-hour time frame. You will be provided with an electronic copy of the test results (via an email sent directly to you) for review by the airline, before you board and for potential review by public health officials after you arrive in the US or UK respectively.

If your test by any chance is positive and you are an asymptomatic person, Ladera will extend your stay with complimentary accommodations and meals, not including alcoholic beverages, until you have been cleared to return home. All your meals will be delivered to your suite, following covid-19 protocols. A special daily menu selection will be provided, and you will be accommodated in a Ladera private suite with a private heated pool and all Ladera amenities that apply.

For guest staying 3 nights or less prior to departure, the following will apply until the mandatory guideline is removed for the traveler’s respective country:

The COVID antigen test is offered at Ladera at $50.00 per test – For guests staying less than 3 nights we cannot guarantee the test results will be back prior to departure, as the results depend on demand, and we cannot control that.

If guest is staying at another resort prior to arriving at Ladera, we recommend they complete their COVID Antigen test wherever they are 72-hours prior to departure and work with that property on their guarantee for test results to be returned.
