Thanks for the information, guys.

I planned on bringing cash to tip (guess I'll see if they're allowed to accept when the time comes) but I was just wondering how to tip people bringing you free drinks; at a bar I just tip at the end of the night on the bill but someone bringing drinks do you tip $1 a drink like at Harrah's in NOLA?

As for the excursions, I read about "Joes Knows" and reading some of the bad reviews I'm not sure that would be my cup of tea (loud Rastafarians making crude jokes about my soon-to-be wife, not a lot of time at the sights, asking for tips, etc.); we're in our late 20s but some of the reviews make it seem like it's annoying.

My fiancé wants to see the Volcano and the mud bath/waterfall sounds cool but I didn't know which excursions included these.

Did any of you that have been find the need to go on an excursion? We're there from Monday to Monday, I don't play golf, so just didn't know if things would get boring just sitting on the beach or if there are enough activities around the resort to keep us busy.

if you're staying at a Sandals then don't worry about tipping...seriously

Joe' Knows will take you to all of those spots. Like I said earlier, we didn't do that one but everyone that we talked to enjoyed it. Check out youtube for some gopro footage of Joe Knows.

We were going to do 2 but canceled our second one because we were having a great time just hanging out at the resorts. They do a good job with activities and whatnot. I would book one when you get there and then decide how you want to spend your time once you get a feel for the resort.

With Elvis (Sea of Man Tours), we saw the volcano, the mud baths/waterfalls, snorkeled, went into town to shop, ate local at the tour guide's home and did it all by boat as opposed to going by Jeep like the excursion offered by the resort. Was a great way to see the island. Was a long day, but was a blast.

While on the boat he would also point out celebrities homes, like Howard Stern, Oprah, Mick Jagger, etc while giving us some nice history of St Lucia.
