Bay Gardens Beach Resort

This hotel is newer, grander, plusher, and closer to the beach than its older sister, the also-recommended Bay Gardens Hotel, with which it shares the same owners. Rated as a four-star deluxe property, it opened in 2007 with a configuration of rooms that could, depending on how the interior partitions were arranged, contain either 72 conventional bedrooms or 36 one-bedroom suites. Both hotels are owned by Berthia Parle, an imposing matriarch who's often prominently featured in the press as a kind of "voice" during St. Lucian elections. The compound's central core is painted in tones of lime and tangerine, and arranged around a convivial set of swimming pools, both of them adjacent to the "wider" end of Reduit Beach. Inside, rooms contain a mixture of Caribbean, postmodern, and tropical colors and furnishings.
