Facilities and Services

Despite being St. Lucia's biggest airport, Hewanorra International (UVF) is still a relatively small facility with correspondingly small annual passenger figures. Facilities reflect this to some extent and it's probably fair to say that they are basic at best.
Dining and refreshment needs are met with a small number of choices while shopping is limited to a couple of outlets.
