Hi everyone,

Just canvassing for opinions. Anyone ever been to St Lucia on holiday? What was it like? What did you do there? We are thinking about going there for our honeymoon...

Thanks,

Leila

    Hello, it's me.

    We went to St. Lucia for our honeymoon.... It is truly paradise on earth.

    It is so different from the other Carribean islands because of the immense amount of vegetation. People are lovely and the lobsters are to die for!!!

    The only thing I would criticise is the transfer time from the airport to the resorts... approximately 1.5 hours on very winding roads.

    You will love it.

    Oh Yes....St Lucia is a great place. Idealic. If you can stay at the Jalousie Hilton Hotel - Brilliant. You get your own little bungalow style chalet - detached and private with your own small pool. You get your own housemaid too who comes in and showers the bed and bathroom with flower petals! REally nice touch. When you wake up in the morning, you can see the hummingbirds outside the windows. Just heaven!

    The staff are amazing and there's a beauty salon etc etc. The drinks and evening events are excellent and the music puts you in that carribean / jamaican mood.

    The hotel has it's own beach and you can get massages, facials etc whilst cocktails are brought to you.


    Definate4ly recommend. Locally there's the two Pitons (volcanoes) to visit and there's some kind of Botanical Gardens etc.

    If you venture into the small town, watch the men though - they like blondes! ONe tried hitting on me right in front of my ex, when I went with him several years ago. Otherwise the locals are harmless. The rasterfarians are great too.
