Castries Holidays

Sara Benton

We had an amazing holiday here. The staff were so friendly, cheery and helpful. The room was well thought out, with a hair drier, dressing table with a large mirror and chair, magnifying mirror, ironing board, kettle, safe etc. The hotel was spotless. Food was plentiful and gorgeous. Lovely cocktails and well stocked self serve bar. Nice beech easily accessible with the shuttle bus, sun beds available and a member of staff to keep an eye out. Coffee bar with book exchange. Activities available including a walk / visit to the Lighthouse (free). Gym. All good and whilst we were here it was fairly quiet and relaxed, plenty of beds and sunbeds available 😀.

Coming to the end of a lovely, relaxing stay at Bel Jou. Rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable. Plenty of sockets, all UK style in the room we were in. Lower pool has a self serve bar with soft drinks, spirits and wines, while the top pool has a cocktail and snack bar. Plenty of sunbeds around both. There are two restaurants, Veranda is the main buffet with great views down over Castries and the sea, while Hummingbird is an air conditioned al la carte. Both served excellent quality food, though sometimes signage wasn’t clear for vegetarians/vegans and choices were sometimes a little limited. The hotel runs a free shuttle bus several times a day (not Sundays and Wednesdays) down to the beach and town, both are well worth a visit. Free sunbeds are provided on the beach and there are vendors selling drinks and snacks. Saturday is market day in the town with many stalls around the centre, there’s also a Massys supermarket/pharmacy for anything extra you might need. Staff have been lovely, special shout out to, Devon, Vionce, Princess, Keshia and Sam who go out their way to make sure you have a wonderful stay!

My partner and I stayed here for 6 days. Everything about this resort is wonderful! The food, drinks, night-time and daytime activities were wonderful! The food is diverse and not your typical continental American-style food which I really appreciated. We were able to get a real taste of Creole food without having to venture far away! The drinks were absolutely slamming. The staff was very polite, very very helpful and very friendly! We arrived way before check-in time and Stasi was kind enough to let us have lunch and hang out until our room was ready. Thank you to the Bel Jou staff - we will definitely be returning!

I had a wonderful stay at the Bel Jou Hotel. The staff was warm and welcoming, the room was cosy and clean, and the location was peaceful yet convenient. Plus, the free shuttle to the beach made getting around so easy. I highly recommend it!

Definitely worth the trip. This hotel is for those looking for a serene getaway, to relax, enjoy nature and views, away from the busy town life. Plenty activities and in-hotel entertainment to enjoy and the staff is the best. Extremely attentive, kind and always willing to assist anyway they can. I would 100% recommend and I still have a couple days left to enjoy while writing this review.

From the moment we arrived in St. Lucia, Sandals Regency La Toc delivered a flawless luxury experience. The airport shuttle was seamless, setting the stage for an unforgettable stay. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by the attentive staff who sang a cheerful welcome song for us. Shortly thereafter, we were greeted by the hotel manager Jason Lynch, whose hands-on approach and genuine hospitality truly elevated our entire visit. His personal attention made us feel valued and ensured that every detail was perfect from start to finish. The resort's dining and drink offerings are nothing short of five-star. Each restaurant provided a unique and exceptional culinary experience, with gourmet dishes, fresh ingredients, and beautifully crafted cocktails. Our favorite restaurants were Armando's and Soy and my go to cocktail was a Pink Panther. Whether we were enjoying a romantic beachfront dinner or sipping drinks by the pool, the service was always impeccable—friendly, prompt, and professional. The resort itself is a tropical paradise. The pools are beautifully maintained and inviting, perfect for relaxing under the sun, while the crystal-clear beach offers stunning views and a serene atmosphere. Sandals Regency La Toc exceeded every expectation, and we can't wait to return for another unforgettable escape.

Spent a week there for my anniversary. Overall great experience. Special thanks to our butler Skylar! She always went above and beyond to make sure we were enjoying our stay. My only complaint is that we are usually beach people and the water was ROUGH every day that we were there but the resort can’t control that.

My husband and I booked our Honeymoon at the beautiful Sandals Regency La Toc in St. Lucia. The honeymoon was filled with all inclusive drinks, food, & phenomenal service. As soon we got to the hotel, we were welcomed with music, celebratory champagne, & a very special worker who looked out for us the whole trip! “The bow tie man” TRAVIS! All of the Sandals staff including Travis went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of the whole trip. All of the restaurants on the property had fresh food and amazing views! The main pool was our favorite spot to relax at during the day with the swim up bar and entertainment! Travis always made sure to find us every day and ask us what we needed? If we were doing okay?! We couldn’t be more thankful and grateful for our honeymoon at the Sandals Regency La Toc!

I rarely leave negative reviews, but our current stay at a Sandals Resort left us so disappointed that I feel compelled to share our experience. I was going to wait until our honeymoon was over but last night was the final straw. We chose Sandals based on its reputation for luxury, all-inclusive service, and attention to detail, but what we encountered was far from the high standards we expected. From the moment we arrived, the quality and service were underwhelming. The Italian restaurant “ Armando’s” was such a horrible experience. Not only did we have to wait over an hour for our meal but the table on the terrace where we were seated had cockroaches crawling around on the rock next to us. One of our biggest complaints was the room service, which was not only unbelievably slow but also of poor quality—despite being a key feature of the Club Level package we paid extra for. We got consistently hassled every day by the women who worked at the spa. They would walk around the pool and try selling you spa packages everyday. I’m only on day 4 of my stay and I can say I’m counting down the days until I’m able to go home. This was my first time staying at a sandals and I can tell you that you that it will be my last. We spent over 8 thousand for our 9 night stay so I expected quality but all we got was frustration.

My husband and I stayed at Regency La Toc 2 weeks ago for our honeymoon and had an absolutely amazing experience. This resort is a happy medium between Halcyon Beach and the Grande. The grounds were immaculate and service was excellent. The bartenders were top notch, especially Jermaine at the pool bar. We absolutely loved the food and will never forget our amazing honeymoon! Looking forward to coming back for our first wedding anniversary.

My husband and I just finished our honeymoon at Halcyon beach and have nothing but positive things to say. All the staff is extremely nice and dedicated to making sure you’re having a great time. The facilities are great and not crowded at all. All the food was fabulous. There is something here for every traveler whether you enjoy the beach, pool life or excursions. St Lucia is an amazing place!

My husband and I had the best week at Sandals Halcyon Beach. It is absolutely beautiful, fun, and the staff is amazing. The staff got to know us by name and provided excellent personalized service. Chris at the Iris bar knew our preferred drinks and came to find us on the upper level and brought us more drinks before we went down to order them. Shaquille at the Iris bar also provided top notch service. Everyone at the club Sandals lounge was wonderful. They had fun activities during the wine tasting and martini tasting. Angie was hilarious and made the activities so fun! The resort has activities you can participate in or do your own thing. We really enjoyed all the activities and games. We are already looking forward to our next trip!

Jacob Mahaffey

Our honeymoon at Sandals Halcyon Beach was absolutely amazing! The service was beyond exceptional—everyone went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. Our room was always spotless, the fridge was fully stocked, and the dinners were delicious every night. We especially loved the convenience of room service and not having to worry about anything with the all-inclusive setup. We enjoyed a relaxing couples massage, sailed on the Hobie Cats, and even did a catamaran snorkeling excursion that the staff scheduled for us—it was a blast! Every staff member we met was warm, friendly, and genuinely interested in getting to know us. It made the whole experience feel personal and unforgettable. We’re already looking forward to coming back!

My wife and I spent 8 days here in a swim up butler suite. The resort is a nice small and quiet resort making it easy to move around the resort. Our butlers Gibson, Crystal A, and Crystal C. made the trip very relaxing making sure we had a place at the pool or beach anytime we wanted. They also took great care getting us reservations to all our dinners. This is our 3rd time stay at a Sandals and have never been disappointed. We are both certified divers so we enjoy the easy of diving at Sandals resorts. The diving was about. 10-15 minute drive from the resort and about a 30 min to 1 hour boat ride to the dive sites. There was a lot of different sea life we were able to see including turtles, sea horses, and cuttlefish to name a few. The dive boat was always command the dive staff took good care that everyone had an enjoyable experience. I would definitely go back in the future.

My husband and I had a wonderful time at Sandals Halcyon Beach. The resort is a beautiful and intimate garden style with stunning tropical flowers throughout. The staff were all very kind and accommodating. The only two issues we faced were the distance from the airport (long and curvy, mountainous drive) and the roaming beach solicitors. Besides these two inconveniences it was a very pleasant stay.

My partner and I have recently returned from a week's stay at East Winds - we initially chose to stay here because of the excellent reviews it has already received, which we can only echo having experienced it ourselves. East Winds is a special place, because of how beautiful and serene it is, and how thoughtful, welcoming and friendly every member of staff is. It's set in a tropical garden, with amazing plants, trees and wildlife everywhere - there was a mango tree outside our cottage, and we saw hummingbirds flying around our terrace every day. The rooms are lovely - beautifully decorated with plenty of space, a big comfy bed and a fully-stocked fridge with soft drinks, beers and wines. The resort overall is gorgeous, with great pool and beach spaces - both of them have plenty of sunloungers so you never need to worry about finding a good spot at any time of day. A real highlight was the food and drinks - breakfast and lunch are buffets which were always really varied and delicious (I think I had a chocolate mousse almost every lunchtime, they were so good!). Dinners are a bit more formal, with a 4-course menu every night - the dishes were always really high quality, and we left every meal full and very happy! Drinks were great as well, cocktails were always really tasty and a great range of wines for dinner - the rum tasting session was really fun as well. The best thing by far about the resort was the people - we've never felt so welcomed to a hotel before! Every single member of staff was so lovely, really welcoming and friendly, and our experience would not have been as amazing as it was without them. While it was our first time at East Winds, we met plenty of other guests who had returned multiple times - we look forward to hopefully being among their number and coming back soon.

Just back from 10days at east winds resort It was the best holiday resort I have stayed at The staff were all so helpful and attentive Jermaine your omelettes were the best I have ever tasted and perfectly prepared. Michal the Wild Sex Cocktails (the recipe I gave you) were the very best and delivered to us at the pool and beach always delivered with a smile. All in all the place is the perfect place for a relaxing holiday good food fine wine and excellent service by wonderful caring people.

Enjoyed a lunch pass for two and I definitely will be coming back. Being a local the experience was just like as if I were a tourist.

Catherine Haynes

Fantastic property. Enjoyed ourselves. The beach is awesome.

Olivia Green Weymouth

We absolutely LOVED our stay at East Winds. The resort is gorgeous, rooms are lovely, food/drinks were great, and staff goes beyond to make you feel welcome and ensure you have everything you need (and more). This is so much better than a 'big resort' experience that can feel crowded and less personal. Shoutout to Devon who took us out on a hobie cat for an awesome sail when we were a bit nervous about the winds. Other guests staying here were really lovely as well - we got the peace, quiet, and R&R we were seeking in beautiful St. Lucia! We will be back to East Winds!
