lWelcome to the first posting of 2010! Having given you an idea of how to get here and transfer from the airport (see the posting of 25 December 2009), it is time to offer some information about where to stay.
There is a wide range of accommodation on the island, from self catering apartments and guest houses, through to top of the range hotels of truly international standards. Thus, there is something to fit most budgets. You can stay almost anywhere on the island but the majority of tourists locate in the northern area of Rodney Bay (shown in the photograph above with Pigeon Island in the background) and surrounds, which means they are almost certainly on or within a short walking distance of a magnificent beach as well as supermarkets, shops and restaurants.
The photograph above shows the Sandals Grande, in Rodney Bay (the building in the background of the picture) one of the three Sandals Hotels in St. Lucia, all of which are of an extremely high standard. Next door to it is the Landings, a very exclusive condominium complex which in addition to offering property sales, also caters to holiday rentals.
On the other side of the bay on Reduit Beach are the three Rex Resorts hotels and the Bay Garden Beach Hotel, also of international standard. In the same area although not actually on the beach, but within a very short walking distance of it, are the Bay Garden, Coco Palm and Village Inn.
If you are looking for a smaller, independent hotel in the Rodney Bay area you might try the MJI Hotel which while a hotel, has rooms rather more like apartments with self catering facilities. It is only a 3 minute walk to the supermarkets and less than a 10 minute walk to the beach.
The above are only a small selection to help show you what is available, there are many more including small guest houses and self catering apartments. You will find some additional ideas here and here.
I hope you find this useful and as usual, any comments or suggestions are welcome. Next we will learn a little about how to get around the island and then some ideas of where to go and what to do.
And finally, should you or anyone you know be looking for a property on this beautiful island check out the posting of 15 December 2009 or click here. As a point of interest both the photographs shown in this posting were taken from the property.
