April 9-16/24 Beach amazing, one day of wind and waves, we did not venture in, others did. Very little shade, you can purchase an umbrella with lounges from people on the beach if you donât find one available. Good food, chef was great, chicken, beef, fish, all vegetables. huge room. Service excellent. Drinks good. The ride in the van through the mountains was scenic, but tough if you get car sick. Very up and down, around, switchbacks etc. the driver was great. We elected to take a very scenic helicopter ride back to the airport instead of the van ride. It was amazing! I must say, we have been to several Caribbean islands and the people of st. Lucia are some of the best and friendliest. Even the service at the airport both coming and going was excellent. This hotel is being demolished as well as the one next door. Apparently it is going to be one huge resort. It does need some repairs perhaps it is cheaper to rebuild?? We prefer smaller resorts less busy, I hope all the staff get rehired, they are the best. We had a great time, thank you st. Lucia.
