Overall, as a family, we had a nice time in St. Lucia. The beach was really nice. Although the food choices were limited, the food was pretty good. The staff is very very nice. The property felt safe. There are four pools and a private beach.
The rooms were super clean. This looks like a timeshare that was converted to a hotel. The bathrooms are a little banged up, but not terrible. Our room had a plunge pool, which was nice. There is a coffee shop, which is really nice where they make drinks. You can get bottled water very easily and they give you bottled water in the room, which is very nice.
The property is an hour and a half drive north of the airport on windy roads. The taxi cost 150 US. I would choose the all inclusive option, but the dining options are limited to two restaurants. Mostly buffet, but the food was surprisingly good. Plus they do have kids options a la carte. Both restaurants open, so there are a lot of bugs during the day flying around, which is annoying. But it is the tropics. The pools were kind of small. There is a small shop, but the hours are limited. I believe they are building a third restaurant.
This is a good option if you are traveling with a family. Amenities are a bit limited… beach, pool, kayaks, tennis courts. This is not a 5 star experience but it’s nice.
