Les Saintes / Iles des Saintes / What to Take / Packing / Travel

The Essentials

Start with the essentials, including passports, itineraries, airline tickets, vouchers, traveler's checks, cash, credit cards, driver's licenses, prescription drugs, glasses and any important phone numbers. It's even a good idea to keep a copy of your documents in your luggage and at home. Even though there is very little crime in Les Saintes, it never hurts to be cautious when you are in an unfamiliar environment. International travelers should keep critical items with them at all times or in their hotel’s safe. If you have an early morning departure, be sure to retrieve your valuables from the hotel safe the night before since they may not be accessible before the regular work day begins.

Travel Tips

If you check all of your luggage with an airline, there is a chance that it may be damaged, delayed or even lost forever. Experienced travelers keep their most important items in a carry-on bag. Travel as lightly as possible. Check with your airline for maximum sizes, weights and restrictions. If you travel by air to Les Saintes from Guadeloupe, your carry-on bag will be put into the luggage compartment of the plane.
