yep, about 15 years ago.......
It was ok, dont think I'll ever go back. Too many other cool and fun places to go.

I was just there. It is a beautiful place. I was on a cruise so my time was limited but, it was really nice.

honeymoon there in november. cool place

Yeah, the wife and I went there for our honeymoon. We stayed at a Sandals. The resorts were really nice, the people were really nice, but outside of there...the island is dirt poor. We saw what appeared to be a side of beef laying on a piece of plywood by the road. The locals were hoping to sell it to someone. It was very strange.
BUT, as far as the resorts...very nice. We enjoyed our time there. I also enjoyed the Piton (local beer).

subtle brag thread

It's gorgeous.
But when I went (summer 2009) our driver from the airport said make sure to be on your resort at night and never go on any back streets in the cities during the day. Tourists are pretty big targets
But it's beautiful and there are some great resorts

St. Lucia is a place you go to relax and getaway from it all, not to party or do adventure type activities.
Jade Mountain is the best resort on the island, it's sister property Anse Chastanet is a little more reasonably priced. No phone, TVs or radios in the room.

I agree with Crusty. My husband and I just went in February for our honeymoon & stayed at Sandals. Resort was fabulous, but rest of island was a shithole and very poverty stricken. I highly recommend taking the helicopter ride from the airport to the resort.

I've been twice. Poor infrastructure. Pretty lazy culture (what island isn't). Beaches are beautiful and water is some of the clearest I have seen.
If you have traveled extensively it is worth the visit but there are a million other places that are better.
I'm heading here in a few weeks.

Yes, any good resort will offer this as an option. The commercial airport is on the southern part of the island and the resorts are in the northern part. With the way the roads are there it can be well over an hour drive.

Great beaches. Avoid any Sandals resort. Some good ones: Calabash Cove, Anse Chastanet, Jade Mountain, Sugar Beach, Ladera.

Honeymoon in 2011. Echo the other statements. Resorts are nice. Snorkling was awesome.
Can't even count the number of penises I had to look at on the bus rides from the resorts to various places on the island. Local dudes just basically piss where they're standing. No fricks given.

Thirded. I've done the drive and the helicopter. If you like the rush of feeling like you'll fall off a mountain and die for an hour, by all means take the car.

It's one of those places that if you don't plan to leave your resort it's great.....kinda like Jamaica but more expensive

Honeymooned there in April. Loved it. Stayed at Sugar Beach and did most everything there and ate out for dinner around the island. Great place to relax and get away from everything.

Honeymooned there. Stayed at the Windjammer Resort just north of Castries. Drive from southern airport to resort was interesting. Stopped off at local cafe on side of the road, best chicken ka-bob I've ever had. Don't go to the "Jump Up" which is the street festival, can get sketchy for tourists. The Coal Pot is our favorite place to eat down there.
