St. Lucia

I visited St Lucia in 1992 and always promised myself that I would go back. I didn't expect that it would not be for 17 years and then with a husband and two children in tow! However I was not disappointed with the return visit and my family loved it as well. We stayed at Almond Morgan Bay which was a delightful hotel suitable for all the family but I will write a seperate review eventually for that. St Lucia is set near the southern end of the caribbean and has a very tropical weather pattern. Rain showers occur nearly all year round but if possible it is best to avoid the traditional summer months as they are the islands wettest. Christmas ...  Read the complete review

My husband and I visited st Lucia for the first time in Jan 08. Having never been to The Carribean before we were ounsure what to expect. We didn't want the "BIG RESORT HOTEL" experience, so stayed at a small hotel, outside Soufriere called La Haute, an old plantation house beautifully restored. The pools gave fantastic views onto the Pitons- spectalular. The staff were fantastic, and I couldn't praise the place highly enough. The area around Soufriere is gorgeous, lots to do and see. Take a trip out to sea, to see the dolphins. Visit the botantical gardens, and the Sulphur springs. Also vist the beach and eat at Anste Chastenet. The food there is ...  Read the complete review

The second part of our recent trip to the West Indies took us by air from Barbados to Saint Lucia. If you have never travelled by a turboprop aircraft then it is an experience in its own right, but to travel in the Eastern Caribbean then it takes on a whole new meaning. The first part of the experience begins when you take your seat and watch the other 'local' passengers come on board, it is as though you are on the local bus taking you into Bridgetown, where everybody seems to have come on board with everything including the kitchen sink. At one stage with a particular woman I was half expecting her to bring on some goats she had so much hand ...  Read the complete review

Imagine yourself sprawled on the purest white sand , your body cultivating the sexiest of tans while your head relishes the shade of a leafy palm tree. A strawberry colada, oozing with crushed ice crystals and blended with frozen ice cream, sits on a tray to your right. You can hear the soothing sound of the gentle sea a few paces along the beach. Welcome to my idea of Paradise – St Lucia! I splashed out on a holiday to St Lucia in October 2000, and it was the best impulse buy I’ve ever made. After a difficult and depressing year, I just wanted to get away from it all and indulge myself. I made the right choice - St Lucia is an island ...  Read the complete review

Ive now been to the caribbean 6 times. 5 of the were st lucia and 1 was the Dominican Republic. As far as im concerned St Lucia is the best island in the caribbean. Its hot, its humid, its paradise! I stayed at Club St Lucia, its situated on the top west coast of the island. There are 4 pools, a raquet club, many bars, a few restuarants and daytime activities. Room are actually small houses, there are hunderds of blocks of 4, dotted arround the place amougst the lush green grass and bananna trees. The people in St Lucia are the most friendly people in the world. You end up sitting is some rasta bar talking to these people for ages. There no dodgy stuff ...  Read the complete review
