Anguilla has been changing its entry protocols back and forth for the past week; to help clear up the confusion, here is what travelers need to know.

Since July, the island has required all travelers eligible for vaccination to be fully vaccinated in order to enter the island.

That remains the case; all visitors eligible for vaccination (in effect over 18 years old) must show proof of full vaccination in order to be admitted to the island.

That doesn’t apply to unvaccinated minors who are accompanying fully vaccinated travelers;

Regardless of vaccination status, all visitors need to upload a negative PCR test taken and received within three to five days before travel. 

All visitors staying in a hotel, resort or licensed villa for any length of stay need to take a test upon arrival, and remain on property at their accommodation until they receive a negative test result. 

All visitors need to then take a test on day four of their trip. 

Test results are typically delivered within 12 hours. 

All travelers need to apply for Entry Permission to visit Anguilla; you can find more here.

Divi Resorts is set to unveil its completely relaunched resort in St Croix this October. 

The Divi Carina Beach Resort and Casino in St Croix will relaunch as an all-inclusive, adults-only resort in October. 

The property, open only to travelers over 18, has been completely redesigned, according to the company. 

The new aesthetic at the 196-room resort is “fresh Caribbean chic,” according to Divi, which says guests will enjoy “”luxurious comfort in our redesigned rooms and suites and our amenities offer plenty of active choices.”

The company is also unveiling new food and beverage concepts, including Italia, American, brick-oven pizza, pan-Asian fusion, gourmet coffee and pastries and an eatery with “fresh selections cooked on a sizzling hot lava rock.”

The resort includes an on-site casino which has a restaurant and bar of its own for late-night options. 

Amenities will include non-motorized watersports, a mini-golf course, tennis and pickleball and a 24-hour fitness center, along with two freshwater pools. 

The property is currently open, albeit with limited service and a room-only experience, ahead of the October relaunch.
