Looking for the ingredients for the perfect picnic lunch on your Caribbean getaway? How about some snacks to keep the kids fueled up for a day at the beach? With Divi Resorts’ new online grocery service, you can order all the essentials before you even leave home, and find your fridge stocked when you arrive. Divi recently introduced the service at Divi Little Bay in St. Maarten and Divi Southwinds and Divi Heritage in Barbados, with plans to expand to the brand’s other six resorts. With a quick click on each hotel’s website, guests can pick from a range of meals, snacks, drinks, and essential sundries (Forgot the sunscreen? No problem!). The items are then charged to the guest’s credit card and delivered to the room. Craving an aperitif or an after dinner drink? Divi’s got you covered there, too, with a range of wines, liquors, and mixes. Best of all, the groceries don’t cost much more than what you’d pay at the supermarket at home – $1.89 for a box of pasta, $3.25 for a dozen eggs – and most of Divi’s rooms come furnished with fully equipped kitchens for complete meal prep. Now if only there was someone to do the dishes afterwards.
