I have to say this has been my favourite resort. The property itself is spectacular and you get to have a breathtaking view every single day. The workers are all so attentive and will come up to you personally to see if you need anything. I was there for 10 days and the excellent service was consistent throughout. I loved the food and all of the options. The only thing is the narrow window times for the buffet, however I could not really complain as their food is really made fresh! The beach was amazing and I loved that the water activities were included! There was always something to do on the resort and quite honestly impossible to be bored. I think this is the only resort where I’ve been and actually want to go back to.

The resort was beautiful and while the main areas were updated, I would like to see some updates to the room and bathroom. Also note if you booked a double bed with a 2 person occupancy, it comes based on availability. They did offer to bring a rollaway/ additional bed due to the double queen rooms not being available. Making a dinner reservation was a little annoying at times due to no one being available, but nonetheless the food options that were available I did enjoy The resort had plenty of activities and a daily itinerary with fun things to do. Most transactions within (gift store/excursions) the hotel will be in USD so if not planning to travel into the community much you won’t need much Eastern Carribean Cash. Also, there is a travel tax $6 an adult person per night.

Property family oriented. Staff was was good. The rooms were not good. The bathroom was small. Shower was extra small dingy. Door had gaps where ants would enter the room. Air conditioner barely worked. The staff informed me the property we start renovations soon which is much needed. Not alot of food options. Hardly had and vegetables or seafood. They had more American foods then Caribbean food. They had Mexican Asian, Italian and other food themes but not St. Lucian food. I wanted to experience that and they fell short. Even if there's a theme night, you should also have food that is Caribbean and more fruits and vegetable options. They fell really short of that and we were disappointed. I hope upper management would do better and listen to stay feedback that they from guests and how the staff feels too. I dont know if we would consider staying their or visiting St. Lucia again.

Hotel was nice except my bathroom it was super difficult to flush the toilet. The Resturants were fabulous especially silk we had Jabari and he was an exceptional waiter. We tried to make reservations more than one night and got a bit of an attitude from the woman in reservation I guess you can only attend the restaurants one time even if you are staying 7 days. My most favorite part was Tyron at the beach bar. He was so nice he makes the best drinks if we come back it would be to see him definitely. The jerk chicken was also fabulous. You must go up to get towels they told mh teenage sons they couldn't get towels from the towel bar because I Already got them but I only got one for myself not everyone. Overall everything was nice
