​First and foremost, thank you Janus for being such a gracious host! We couldn’t have asked for a better stay on the island! 

If you’re like me and the very first you did was pickup this book…..Take a deep breath. The journey to get to the villa is an adventure itself. Like someone else has said, take a trip into town ASAP and get acclimated. 
(Hint: the best grocery store is on church street!). Also, google maps app is super handy to get around with (you didn’t need data to use it). 

BE WARNED! – it’s better to follow signs for attractions on the island than to GPS them! We typed in Tet Paul on Google maps and it sure did not take us there! Lesson learned. 

Activities  
  • Tet Paul Nature Trail 5/5 - Time set aside 1.5 hrs. Amazing views! inexpensive and an easy climb if you are not feeling climbing the Pitons. Guides are super informative and take great pictures for you! 
  • Fond Doux Plantation and Resort - Rank 5/5 – time: set aside about 3 hrs. if you want lunch! Must do! Seriously, this tour is fantastic. Our guide Clinton (he’s the best!) gave us so much fresh fruit straight from the tree to try. We were stuffed by the end, but the lunch buffet is really good! The girls who work there are also so nice. (They even gave us a free rum punch  ) One of the highlights of our trip! 
  • Sugar Beach – 4/5, time all day! Lovely beach between Pitons, but they don’t seem too keen to have guests from other resorts/villas. Tell them you are eating to get a shuttle down (its steep!) and keep your receipt to get a shuttle back up! Snorkeling was good, not the best but worth it for something to do. 
  • Anse Chastanet and Anse Mamin – Rank 5/5 – Time: All Day and More   - The sand may not be picturesque white but guests feel much more welcome at this amazing beach! Get the “Coco Do” drink – it comes in a coconut cup, make sure to take the trek over to Mamin (5-10 min walk north of Anse Chastanet) we were the only people on the beach there! Our last day we even saw a sea turtle swimming!!! 
  • Dinner at Jade Mountain - Rank 9/5 – Time: about 3 hrs (try to get there early! 6:00 . Wow, just wow. Even though we were guests, they made us feel so welcome! We got there around 6 and someone offered to take our pictures on the breathtaking terrace. My favorite view of the entire trip!!Drinks and dinner were pricey (100USD PP for food) but so worth it! They even threw in a free glass of champagne for us because it was our honeymoon  Amazing service and food.  Seriously. If you have the $$ just do it!!
  • Sulphur springs and Mud Bath - Rank 5/5 – Time: about 2hrs. The tour is short but very informative! Definitely worth it for the low price. The best part is by far the mud bath! Very relaxing and just a cool experience all around. My only complaint is that the really dark mud we used was REALLY hard to get off. If you get the white/light grey mud you probably won’t have that issue. 

    :)  Martha’s Kitchen was closed while we were here, otherwise I’ve heard really great things about it!

A few other tips and insights.....
  1. Hotel Chocolat holds amazing tours where you can make your own chocolate bar BUT they are closed on the weekend so plan accordingly! 
  2. USD is taken pretty much everywhere, but if you need cash the International Bank in town has an ATM ($5 fee to withdraw). 
  3. Beach Bar/Food at Anse Chastanet and Mamin closes at 4! So if you want a delicious burger plan accordingly! 
  4. Orlandos is a great high class restaurant for dinner! $30ish for an entrée, excellent service! 

Overall, such an amazing trip! If you need anything at all – don’t hesitate to call Janus. We loved our time In St. Lucia and can’t wait to come back 

    WEATHER IN SAINT LUCIA
    ​While most places in the world have four well-defined seasons, its proximity to the equator means that this is not really the case for the island of St. Lucia.
