AMAZING SERVICE
Booked to have a blood test and vaccination. I have to say everything was no less than 5 stars, from the booking process to the appointment, the staff are very knowledgeable and super accommodating. I’m not great with needles but lovely Paige was very reassuring and professional, probably my best experience with needles as I did not feel a thing. Will definitely be using this clinic again. THANK YOU

Further Travel Health Advice for St. Bart’s
St. Barts has almost perpetual sunshine and although the breezes are cooling, temperatures can rise to 30. It is important to protect your skin by using a good sun block lotion with SPF 20 or higher. Apply liberally and often. When snorkelling, take care to put extra sun block on your back. Stay hydrated and bring lots of water with you, wherever you go in St. Bart’s.
The tap water in St. Bart’s is considered safe to drink, however, bottled mineral water is widely available. Remember to drink often and whether it be water or fruit juices, replenish fluids throughout the day.
The choice of great restaurants makes each meal a true gastronomic adventure, whether it’s a relaxed seaside café or an elegant eatery. French cuisine is featured in many establishments, as well as Caribbean cuisine, featuring, of course, seafood and fresh fish, but there are steakhouses and beach bars offering just about any type of meal you might have a taste for. With at least 80 restaurants, the only challenge will be making a decision. An impressive selection of good French wines is available, and at reasonable prices.
Should you require health care in St. Bart’s, there is a good hospital in Gustavia, as well as a private clinic. The standard of care is good, however, for more complicated medical procedures, many people travel to Guadeloupe. Remember that you should arrange in advance to have enough money with you to pay for any health care you might need.
Protect yourself, and your family, with comprehensive travel health insurance which will cover your intended itinerary and any potentially risky activities, such as snorkelling.
