Day 1 – Tet Paul Nature Trail: great views of the Pitons, easy hike. The guides were busy when we got there so we went on our own. $10 USD per person. -Sugar Beach: Amazing View and good cocktails on the beach. Told the Security we were heading for the restaurant and the shuttles us from Guest parking. Drinks -$14. Be warned that the road dips towards the beach and back up the mountain before you get to the resort (we accidentally did some off roading on our way) Day 2 -Ziplining at Treetop Adventure Park (adventure tours St. Lucia) : This was so much fun! Since we have a car we drove the ½ hour drive and arrived around 11am. They were able to find our online reservation easily. Two guides took us up on the lines and were super friendly. The also took tons of Photos and videos for us on one of our phones. $59 usd per person. Glad we went alone because a huge tour group arrived as we were leaving! -Hotel Chocolat : made dinner reservation dinner here during sunset. Restaurant begins dinner at 6, but we arrived a little earlier for drinks. Dinner was delicious. The brought us out bready with different butters/dipping sauces as well as a creamy onion soup before our main meals. Allie had the Ribeye and Michael had the jerk pork. We loved it! Afterwards we split the chocolate lava cake. Everything was so fresh and the chocolate always enhanced the flavors. The view was also just incredible. Very Romantic. Day 3 -Fond Doux Plantation Heritage Tour: it was pretty neat to see all the different plants, flowers and fruits growing on the island and even tried a few straight off the tree. We did tour and snacks for $20USD per person and the snack were enough to full us up! They gave us a platter of fresh fruits (pineapple, watermelon, starfruits, bbq rib, cake, bread etc. etc to try. Very yummy!! -Anse Chastanet Beach- a little more crowded than we were expecting. We split a burger that has avocado, pineapple, jalepenos, onions, lettuce, tomato on it. Was alright. Definitely over-priced. The Bartenders made me a really delicious cocktail that I drank right out of the coconut! -Anse Mamin Beach – no one was there! It was so nice to have the beach to ourselves! Quick little walk from Anse Chastanet Beach. -Jade Mountain – Make reservations! We were just going up for drinks and sunset but they expected reservations. Luckily they were able to call up and we were able to get in! The view was the absolute best view of our trip. And was that much better at sunset. Drinks were the same prices as they were on the beach. $14. Wear your best and go. Must do! Day 4 Snorkeling @ Anse Chastanet- renting snorkeling gears was $11 per person for 1 hour for the scuba shop on the beach. Make sure you bring enough cash to put a $50 deposit on each set of snorkeling geards you rent. It was nice to see all the different typed of tropical fish. -Anse Mamin – we walked down to Anse Mamin where we found a shady sport to hang our hammocks and nap/read. Nice and breezy! -Sulphur Springs and Mud Baths- it was pretty crowded with a loud tour group when we went around 3:30pm. Know that you can/should put the mud on yourself if you go. A tour guide may try to do this for you and will want a tip. Be sure to use the light colored mud. The black mud we were told, it is used only for decoration and will stain, be hard to wash off. Mud baths was an experience -Sugar beach – We returned to enjoy the beautiful sunset between the Pitons. Well worth it! Thank you, Janus, Fabian and team for a wonderful week! We had so much fun on our honeymoon and will fondly remember our time in St. Lucia! Love Allie & Michael |
