Practical travel information on Money and costs in St Kitts & Nevis

Money & costs

Money

The official currency is the Eastern Caribbean dollar, and although US dollars are accepted almost everywhere, ATMs don’t dispense them. Instead, most large banks will issue dollars from a teller for a US$5 fee.

Hotels and restaurants add a 7% tax and usually a 10% service charge as well. When a restaurant doesn’t add a service charge, a 10% tip is appropriate.
