What this estimate covers
Qualified source-period local planning comparison for two adults sharing one room, six nights and seven days, May 11–17, 2027. The dates were retained from the October 6 partial and chosen before prices. Scope is a northern Montserrat base at Tropical Mansion Suites in Sweeney’s and the National Museum at Little Bay. Plymouth, Zone V, offshore extensions and southern dining routes are excluded. These figures compare selected components with necessary unpriced additions; they are not a current 2027 quote, guaranteed minimum or complete payable trip cost. The primary hotel lists double-occupancy Standard, Full Service and Deluxe amounts of $149, $159 and $170. An independent directory matching the property’s address, phone and website states daily USD policy and no meals included. USD per room-night is therefore an explicit cross-source inference, not direct ISO labelling of the primary amounts; the directory’s separate $130-from rate is excluded. Six-night exact room allowances are USD 1,352.175–1,622.610, 1,442.925–1,731.510 and 1,542.750–1,851.300. Each includes the published 10% government tax and 10% service once through a disclosed 1.21 compounding scenario, then one 25–50% editorial margin. The actual billing base is unverified; 1.20 is a preserved alternative calculation, not a second charge. All three bands use the same small hotel with different published categories; the higher band does not certify a luxury resort. No breakfast or transfer credit is taken. Actual 2027 inventory, selected-room details, other necessary charges and payable remain unknown. Food uses an undated retained Brades Tina’s lunch reference of XCD 50. The same phone is now associated with Grand Phoenix, so this is a historical or undated price-context reference, not a current supplier tariff. Fourteen lunch-equivalent portions equal XCD 700. Applying the same unit to the other 28 portions is an explicit editorial projection of XCD 1,400, making a 42-portion baseline of XCD 2,100. It does not establish observed breakfast or dinner prices, 42 venue openings or an actual dining itinerary. Food-only ranges are XCD 2,100–2,520, 2,520–3,150 and 3,150–4,200, using respective once-only editorial margins of 0–20%, 20–50% and 50–100% on the same comparator. These are spending allowances, not different observed menus, restaurant quality or verified inflation coverage. Drinking water, other drinks, taxes/service, procurement and necessary restaurant transport remain unpriced; no adequate-water provision or complete food bill is claimed. The selected ground comparison uses XCD 100–125 in every band. XCD 80 models four shared taxi hires: two airport/hotel directions at XCD 15 and two hotel/museum directions at XCD 25. These derive from the saved 2023 maximum hiring-fare table’s Sweeney’s-to-airport and Little Bay-to-Tropical Mansion rows. Exact hotel/museum locality correspondence and reverse-direction symmetry are assumptions, not independent endpoint quotes. Regulation 5(2)’s separate XCD 15 or USD 5 maximum for unlisted distances is preserved; the model does not determine the applicable lawful fare or an entitlement to charge the assumed amounts. Daytime operation is assumed, with the published 25% night supplement excluded unless it applies. XCD 20 covers two museum adults on the XCD 10 cash tariff. Its separate USD/EUR tariffs and Saturday historical-film option are not added or treated as exchange rates. Thursday May 13 matches published ordinary hours, without guaranteeing future opening. The upper XCD 25 margin is editorial, applied once, and does not settle unknown supplements or meal transport. Native USD stays USD. Selected XCD amounts are divided by the retained official reference parity of 2.7 XCD per USD, not a retail or future cash/card quote. Sum selected components, divide by 14 person-days and round final endpoints outward to USD 5. Do not add a second margin or hotel tax/service. Actual payable remains null. International airfare and gateway are unselected: the saved airline timetable ends November 30, 2026, an operating ferry is not assumed, and any Antigua connection requires its own landside entry and ticket-charge checks. The retained ordinary-Saudi baseline requires a visa unless actual documents meet a stated exemption; USD 50 per eVisa application is a source-period reference excluded from these local bands, not individual clearance or a 2027 guarantee. Departure, security and carrier charges require actual ticket reconciliation and are not presumed zero or added twice. December–May is only a qualified regional lower-rainfall proposal, not a weather, ash, hazard or transport guarantee. MVO’s certificate-related stop and the tourism provider’s access stop remain; no current hazard map or Plymouth permission is claimed. Main owns identity reconciliation, implementation and release.
Reference comparison: 2027-05-11 – 2027-05-17, 2 adults, 6 nights / 7 days. Payable total unknown.
Retained 6 October 2026 example chosen before prices; no personal itinerary or dated offer.

Planning-model notes (room, food, ground)
- Montserrat — Little Bay and northern heritage
- Six northern nights at Tropical Mansion Suites, Sweeney’s, supporting Little Bay/National Museum visits. No Plymouth, ZoneV, southern meal route, ferry package or island-wide product.
- Independent same-property directory explicitly identifies daily USD rate policy. This corroborates a USD/night interpretation of the primary double-occupancy amounts; it is not direct ISO labelling on the primary tariff or proof of a2027 price.
- No documented meal credit. Independent hotel policy is no meals included. Do not treat coffee/tea facilities, kitchenette or onsite restaurant as included food.
- Published10% tax plus10% service are included once through the disclosed1.21 scenario in planning bands.1.20 and1.21 are arithmetic alternatives, not verified legal billing bases. Unknown other necessary additions remain null; no claim headroom covers them.
- Source-period planning range, using independently corroborated USD/night policy. The two10% additions are owned once in this component. Headroom is editorial and does not prove unknown fee coverage, future inventory, an upgrade or a payable ceiling.
- Source-period planning range, using independently corroborated USD/night policy. The two10% additions are owned once in this component. Headroom is editorial and does not prove unknown fee coverage, future inventory, an upgrade or a payable ceiling.
- Source-period planning range, using independently corroborated USD/night policy. The two10% additions are owned once in this component. Headroom is editorial and does not prove unknown fee coverage, future inventory, an upgrade or a payable ceiling.
- One coherent northern property with three published categories, not a survey of market price bands or three different hotels. Premium means greater planned spend within this small hotel, not luxury-resort certification. Property-level en-suite evidence is retained pre-stop; exact2027 room, inventory, fullterms, other charges and payable remain unverified. These are booking-time qualifications, not universal gates imposed on original52 planning research.
- Northern base and Little Bay National Museum only; no Plymouth, Zone V or offshore route.
- Apply the Sweeney’s locality reference to the hotel and assume the same distance tariff in the reverse direction. The airport-to-hotel direction is not independently quoted.
- Regulation 5(2) sets an unlisted-distance maximum of XCD15 or USD5. Whether the printed 5(1) distance correspondence or 5(2) governs this exact/reverse journey is unresolved. The allowance is not an entitlement to charge the modelled amount.
- The hotel is bound to Sweeney’s locality; the legal row does not name its exact pickup address.
- Regulation 5(2) sets an unlisted-distance maximum of XCD15 or USD5. Whether the printed 5(1) distance correspondence or 5(2) governs this exact/reverse journey is unresolved. The allowance is not an entitlement to charge the modelled amount.
- Apply the Little Bay locality reference to the museum and assume the reverse direction has the same distance tariff. Exact museum drop-off is not independently quoted.
- Regulation 5(2) sets an unlisted-distance maximum of XCD15 or USD5. Whether the printed 5(1) distance correspondence or 5(2) governs this exact/reverse journey is unresolved. The allowance is not an entitlement to charge the modelled amount.
- Apply the Little Bay origin locality to the museum. Port Little Bay is a different table column and is not substituted.
- Regulation 5(2) sets an unlisted-distance maximum of XCD15 or USD5. Whether the printed 5(1) distance correspondence or 5(2) governs this exact/reverse journey is unresolved. The allowance is not an entitlement to charge the modelled amount.
- The Saturday package replaces ordinary museum admission; never add both. Different currency tariffs are separately published payment options, not foreign-exchange equivalents.
- A northern indoor account of island history, music, masquerades and pre-/post-eruption photographs. The historical film supplies neither a current hazard map nor permission to visit Plymouth.
- Published weekly opening and tariffs are retained observations, not guaranteed May 2027 access or prices.
- Taxi amounts are maximum hiring-fare references from the 2023 regulation, not guaranteed minimum spending or independently quoted endpoints.
- This single optional margin is discretionary and does not establish an upper bound or settle unknown necessary additions. Do not add another margin for the same component.
- The same bounded ground core can be joined once to each spending band; it does not establish three complete trip bands. No extra meal trips, tours or passes are silently added.
- Exact airport pickup, hotel address application, luggage and vehicle fit, timing, operator availability and actual payable are not quoted.
- Museum last-mile/drop-off and reverse-direction application remain disclosed modelling assumptions.
- No northern food venue/basket is selected. Necessary shopping or meal rides cannot be assumed free or covered by the planning margin.
- Later legal amendments, 2027 supplier prices and any applicable additional charges have not been established. Unknown additions are not zero.
- The retained official Saudi-passport baseline requires a visa. The January 2025 revised exemption order separately covers valid entry visas for the UK, USA, Canada or an EU member state with the required passport; this does not mean all Schengen residence documents qualify. No actual traveler document or eligibility decision is made.
- Retained government 2024 notice describes ED information up to 72 hours before arrival; its rollout language is not proof of current kiosk operation. Actual procedure remains a trip-preparation item.
- Preserved FCDO context warns of volcanic disruption and authorisation restrictions. Plymouth and Zone V remain excluded. MVO provider and aliases are stopped after a certificate failure; no current map, hazard level or trip permission is claimed. December–May is not a storm-free, ash-free or transport guarantee.
- Northern base and National Museum in Little Bay only. Plymouth, Zone V, maritime exclusion zones, offshore extensions and other island circuits are excluded. Museum photographs and historical film do not authorize access or supply a live hazard map.
- One usable local day samples the museum core; two to three allow a slower northern-base stay. Two calendar days are an explicit conservative arrival/departure planning allowance, not evidence of a booked route, flight schedule or required overnight. The six-night comparison remains separate; align any shorter stay with museum opening days.
- Restricted weekly museum hours, cash payment and arranged island transfers make coordination material. Possible point-to-point Antigua entry is separately disclosed, not a confirmed itinerary or nationality penalty. No hazard safety score is assigned.
