East Winds St. Lucia- All Inclusive

The accommodation's prime location provides easy exploration. Guests value clean, spacious rooms and friendly, attentive staff offering excellent service.

My wife and I revisted East Winds for a third time, originally honeymooning at the hotel 28 years ago, and again for our 25th wedding anniversary 3 years ago. The hotel is set in beautiful tropical gardens, well tended by head gardener Sylvanus and his team. The restaurant, bars and pool (with swim up bar) are all a stones throw from each other and the beach The warm and friendly welcome makes you feel at home immediately. The entire staff are kind and courteous, with no request too much to ask. The relaxed atmosphere and 'good vibes' among the staff ensured we were straight into the holiday spirit. Previously we had stayed in the 'deluxe' cottages, this time we chose the 'superior' Our room was very spacious, with all amenities we could want. Tea/coffee making facilities and a fridge constantly stocked with water, soft drinks, beer and wine. The bedroom was large and accommodating, with more than enough wardrobe and drawer space for our 2 week visit. Air conditioning was very welcome. The bathroom was spacious, with his and her basins, walk in shower, and much to my wife's delight, a copious supply of Moulton Brown products. The food was exquisite! Breakfast, lunch and dinner always satisfied, with the dining room staff always attentive but not intrusive. The most difficult thing about dining here is deciding what to choose to eat, as each choice on the menu was absolutely delicious. There was nothing we ate that we didn't enjoy. And with the restaurant positioned right next to the beach, I cannot think of a more perfect dining experience. The bar staff were equally as friendly and attentive, both in the bars and also at the pool and beach. It was a struggle to get through all of the cocktails on the menu, but we gave it our best shot! The trips and activities organised through the hotel by Simeon, the always effervescent activities organiser are definitely worth trying, from the exquisite boat trip to Soufrie and the volcano, the beautiful sunset cruise, rainforest, distillery tour and chocolate making just to name a few. The hotel also provides some free water sport activities. Snorkeling, kayaking and paddle boarding are freely available as well as trips on the hobie cat around the bay. In all, I cannot think of a more beautiful place on earth to visit. We had a truly wonderful time! We will certainly be returning soon!

We split our stay in St Lucia, 4 nights in the south and 6 nights further North at East Winds. We are not really beach people but we loved East Winds. There was enough to do as well as time to relax. We stayed in room 27 which was lovely, it had a sea view and the feeder on the balcony attracted lots of birds including hummingbirds. We took part in the yoga and pilates, we had massages and I had a facial. We went out on the hobie cat a couple of times, the paddleboards and used the snorkeling gear (although not too much to see). We did the excursion to Pigeon Island and the walk with Simeon on a Tuesday morning and the rum tasting was brilliant. The quality of the food and wine was exceptional and all the staff are so lovely and very helpful. We loved every minute of our stay and would love to return again one day. Thank you for such a great holiday.
