Latest reviews on Saint Lucia's beaches

Sugar beach
10 J Rivera

This is the best luxury hotel I have ever experienced. The location is absolutely breathtaking, situated in the most picturesque spot on the island. The service goes above and beyond, with each villa having a dedicated butler. The only downside is the absence of a direct pathway to the beach. If you happen to stay in one of the upper villas, you will need to rely on the resort van to travel to and from the breakfast and pool area. However, these vans operate frequently and are provided free of charge (which is obviously a great perk).

The resort is absolutely delightful, catering exclusively to adults, which creates a serene and tranquil atmosphere. The service provided is exceptional, and the food served is of good quality. However, there is room for improvement when it comes to the desserts. Additionally, the daily massages are a wonderful feature, but scheduling them properly can sometimes disrupt a significant portion of the day.

Anse Chastanet beach
10 Ethan Marlowe

This beach is an absolute gem, with its pristine beauty and crystal-clear waters. Don't forget to pack your snorkelling equipment, as the underwater world is a sight to behold. The vibrant and diverse marine life will leave you in awe, and the experience is nothing short of breathtaking.

Reduit beach
10 Julia R.

This beach is one of our cherished destinations. It remains unspoiled, with few visitors and is meticulously maintained each day. The ocean is safe and serene, devoid of any dangerous rip tides, and is free from the cacophony of jet skis and banana boats that often disturb the peace of other paradise beaches. Vendors are present but not overwhelming, and they are cordial and humorous if you decline their offers. The motto here is no pressure, no problem. St. Lucia, we adore you and are grateful to have explored the rest of the West Indies.

This resort is far from being relaxing or luxurious! It's impossible to have a peaceful night's sleep due to the loud and disruptive guests in the hallways from 1-3am, as well as the poorly trained staff who have no consideration for noise levels. They constantly make loud noises and talk loudly outside our bedrooms starting at 5:30am. It's definitely not a peaceful or serene environment. The lady at the front desk during check-in, along with most of the staff, are not as friendly or warm as what we are used to experiencing in the islands. We reserved two rooms for our family, but both rooms were heavily infested with mosquitoes and had to be sprayed every day. Each of us ended up with at least 15 mosquito bites! The rooms have outdated furniture with unpleasant stains on the sofa. In building 5, our rooms had a noticeable moldy smell. The food and drinks are mediocre, and the options for room service are very limited, which quickly becomes monotonous. We would never choose to stay here again. We do not recommend it.

Soufriere beach
10 Kael Saar

This beach offers a stunning view of the Pitons. The water is crystal clear and pleasantly warm, with gentle waves that are perfect for all swimmers. The backdrop of the Pitons makes for fantastic photo opportunities. On the shore, there are loungers and parasols available for rent, as well as a variety of restaurants to choose from. Parking spaces are also provided for convenience. Many tourists opt to arrive by bus, which typically departs after 2 to 3 hours.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 13 beaches in the country, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.
