Bay Gardens Hotel

St Lucia, Caribbean

Virgin rating

The hotel

This friendly hotel with a relaxed, easy-going ambience is situated in the centre of St Lucia's entertainment capital, Rodney’s Bay. Located just a short walk away from the bars, nightlife and casino you’ll be surrounded by liveliness but if that’s too much excitement retreat to your room for some seclusion, peace and quiet. The interior perfectly captures the unique tropical flavour of this island with fresh and vibrant Caribbean hues. See the island’s natural beauty and lush gardens from your private balcony or head on down to the 3 swimming pools for a cool swim. You’ll feel so relaxed and pampered by the unrivalled hospitality, you’ll wish you could stay longer.

The rooms are outdated and needs renovation. Manager helpful but intimidating. Employees working like a machine, no use of brains. Pros, in the middle of city close by to malls and supermarket. Food is okay, less options for vegetarians like myself.

The overall property is clean and well maintained. The staff is courteous . The downside of the hotel is gym was included in package but is not operational and staff dos not mention during check in. The spices restaurant food is good but very expensive . Overall it is a mid level experience .

Plenty of pillows, clean and fluffed , Ac was perfect, shampoo soap conditioner awesome, not a luxury hotel by all mean, for the price point did it’s job, the staff is very well trained, attentive and smiling, ride from the international airport 90 minutes $99 to $120 USA dollars, put that in your vaca budget.
