My fiance and I are wanting to go to St Lucia for our honeymoon in May. We reallllyyy don’t want to spend more than 8-9k. We want to spend 7 nights and are more looking for the resort atmosphere, I never stay at resorts so honeymoon feels like a great excuse.

We want 3 nights in the south, with a more nature focus, plunge pool, adventure, amazing food, etc. Top options are Ladera or Stonefield. Do not need all inclusive. I have a pretty good price in Amex portal for Ladera.

4 nights in the north, top options are Secrets st Lucia or Body Holiday, this part of the trip we want to be all inclusive and not worry about anything!

We’re having a hard timing deciding where to save or where to splurge, I really love Ladera but don’t want to eat up our budget on a couple nights. Our flights will be about $1500 total. What’s also hard is prices are different based on whether you book thru agent, direct, Amex or Costco.

Open to all advice I am by no means a pro at this

We are stopping for 8 hours in st. Lucia. Do you think it is possible to rent a car and drive and enjoy the Sulphur Springs and make it back on time?. Yes we sre comfortable driving on the other side of the road and on moutains.

Hey all, my girlfriend and I are celebrating our anniversary in St Lucia in two weeks. I am wondering are there any romantic activities that you all would recommend? Particularly dinner locations as well some maybe more customized experiences or excursions?

Are there any places that do dinner or picnics near/on the beach?

UPDATE: We are spending half our trip on the Northside of the island at cap maisan and then the other half down at sugar beach.

Does anyone else grow but doesn’t smoke? Growing is therapy. Indoor homegrown. Exercising my four plants per person rights.

Hi there - looking at honeymooning in St Lucia for a week in the spring. We are between Sandals Grande, Ladera and Serenity. We definitely want privacy and a plunge pool, would love a butler service. We value good food and drinks! Could take or leave the beach. We like meeting other people, but our sole focus does not have to be that. Would love to hear experience and any advice. Thanks!!

Hi im planning a solo trip to st lucia.

Still in research mode but wanted to have some ideas. So far im looking at splitting my stay between airbnbs in Rodney Bay area and Soufrière.

Or just staying in Rodney Bay and doing day trips to Soufrière for activities.

Any advice and recommendations? If you can recommend local food spots or activities that would be great

Update* I will stay for 3 weeks, split my stay between North and South. I will also take the ferry to Martinique for a few days. Decided to finish my trip in South since my flight back to the UK is from there. Thank you for all the recommendations.

Hi, I’m looking for friends in people in a similar age range as me (17–22), who are into interests that are a bit harder to come across here. My interests include:

• Anime (excluding isekai), cartoons, sitcoms
• Manga, classic literature, mystery novels
• Heavy alternative music
• Survival horror games, Overwatch, Pokémon
• Drawing, skating

Feel free to DM me!

I'm a Saint Lucian local and I spend most of my days exploring the island.

One thing I've noticed is how many visitors come here, stay at a beautiful resort, visit the Pitons and leave without experiencing some of the coolest places we have.

I'm talking hidden waterfalls, natural pools, quiet beaches, cliff jumping spots and little communities where you get a real taste of island life.

Don't get me wrong, the resorts are beautiful, but Saint Lucia has so much more to offer.

I'm curious, when you travel somewhere new, do you prefer the popular tourist attractions or finding places most visitors never get to see?

I've seen mixed info on whether or not bringing adult toys for personal use is acceptable for St. Lucia. Can anyone here say definitively whether or not I'm going to be arrested at the airport for bringing toys?

Hello,

I am taking a trip to Saint Lucia and my resort is near Castries. I’m looking for a good fishing charter in the area. Just trying to budget out the trip any recommendations would help.

Hello! My soon-to-be wife and I will be honeymooning in St Lucia at the end of October. We will be staying at Jade Mountain. I was wondering if there are any recommendations on what to do for excursions or places to eat / visit. Thanks in advance, we can’t wait!

Hot day in St Lucia? This is the cure 💦 Nothing beats a cool waterfall and natural pools with nothing but nature all around you.

The island is full of spots like this. Waterfalls, river pools, hidden beaches, cliff jumps and more. Best way to beat the heat and see a different side of St Lucia.

I go with Father Nature Adventures when I want to link up these kind of spots. Private trips, they know all the good places, and they'll pick you up anywhere on the island.

If you're visiting, try get off the resort for at least one day. The real St Lucia is out here 🇱🇨

Looking to book a 5 night trip for this October. Cap Maison is not exclusively adult only and allows kids but it seems the resort advertises and caters to the adult crowds. For those who have been, have you seen a lot of kids on the resort during your stay? Going on this trip as a relaxation vacation. Leaning towards Ti Kaye as a backup since that is for sure adult only.

Not a lot of advance notice but here’s a good “kick off” event for Creole Month, with this one being held on the 30th in Laborie in the south (not far from Soufriere). If you are visiting the area, put this one on your list:

Honeymooning in St. Lucia the first week of November and doing a split stay between Sandals Grande and Ladera.

Do you have any general recommendations regarding Ladera and what to pack? Or any general advice for an unforgettable and relaxing honeymoon?

Hi! We are planning our honeymoon for beginning of May and wanting to to spend 5 nights at Sandals Grande St. Lucian and then potentially spend our last 1–2 nights at a luxury resort. For what we can afford we’d do either 1 night at sugar beach viceroy or 2 nights at Ladera.

We absolutely love the idea of staying in a room with a private plunge pool and incredible Piton/ocean views. Ladera looks like such a unique, romantic experience, especially with the open-air rooms and views. However, I have a few concerns:

- Are the private plunge pools at Ladera/sugar beach cold? Are they comfortable to actually swim in, especially at night? Do either resort have public infinity pools?

- What is it really like sleeping in an open-air room? Is it too hot/buggy? Can you even use the pool at night or are there tons of bugs?

- Is Ladera worth it even though it doesn't have a beach? We would love to visit Sugar Beach while we're in St. Lucia, but I'm not sure how realistic that is if we're staying at Ladera

- For anyone who has stayed at both, how does Ladera compare to Sugar Beach in terms of luxury, service, room quality, and overall experience?

- since we could only afford one night at sugar beach is this worth it? We are worried if we don’t get early check in we could be wasting a day traveling from sandals grande to sugar beach and then would have our flight the next morning so wouldn’t even really get to see/use the resort to it’s most

- how worth it are these luxury resorts? We plan on spending extra money on ferry and helicopter transport to and from the airport but then would have to pay for private transport between the 2 resorts. Are we better off just doing our whole stay with club level room at sandals grande and splurging on excursions?

Thanks!!
