Jalousie Plantation

Frommer's Review

Perched within a seemingly endless grove of coconut palms in the Val des Pitons, this is an elegant resort for visitors looking for privacy. It originated in the late 1990s, sprawling across one of most desirable building sites in St. Lucia. The property is so large (130 hectares/325 acres) that vans circulate to shuttle guests around. An ongoing renovation of the headquarters and the tile-roofed villas was expected to have been finished in 2009, with 52 additional units added. Many of the resort's accommodations are in individual villas or villa suites (slightly larger, with separate sitting rooms) that dot the hillside. Villas and suites have private plunge pools. In addition to the villas, 12 Sugar Mill double rooms are in two buildings; they're slightly smaller but still have private terraces.

Facilities: 4 restaurants; 4 bars; outdoor pool; on-site disco (Fri and Sat nights only); a three-hole golf course; 4 lit Laykold tennis courts; health club; fitness classes; squash court; spa; watersports; dive shop; children's programs; tour desk; car rental; business center; room service; babysitting; laundry service; nonsmoking rooms.
