Hello!!!
We did a lot of activities already listed in the guide, so in an effort to save time I’ll just list some tips that you may find helpful

  • Boucan by Hotel Chocolat: this is our favorite restaurant we tried on the island. Everything you order will have some aspect of cocoa or chocolate-even the butter. It is $100us for 2 people (including a drink and desert) but definitely worth it. Even though there are more than enough places to not repeat meals during your vacation, we liked it so much we ate there twice. (if you arrive there after dark, rear left after you pull into the driveway…unless you feel like driving into an active volcano. P.S -They also have a spa with Chocolate inspired treatments that ill be visiting tomorrow.

  • Beware of the restaurant hours. Martha’s Tables is only open until 3pm daily and many places close early (before dinner) on Monday & Tuesday.

  • Piton Falls. Torille is also nice, but quite small, so visit after 3pm to avoid the tour crowds.

  • Snorkeling/Beaches- we didn’t find great off-the-beach snorkeling on the island. Of the places we went (Sugar Beach, Anse Mamin and Pigeon Island), Sugar Beach was the best. Most of the other beaches is reserved for resort guests, but there is a public area to the right of the boat dock. Swim to the rocks to find lots of fish. The beach itself is very pretty

Driving: driving around the island is fun, challenging and essential if you want to be on your own schedule to visit the attractions. If you’ve just arrived and didn’t rent a car, we recommend getting one at least for a couple of days. Text Janus to help organize. Keep in mind that many activities, like waterfalls and hikes have pretty cheap entrance fees. You can actually save money by avoiding organized tour costs.

Honking here isn’t rude. Its your way of communicating with other drivers. Honk when going around blind corners to let other know you are coming and put your flashers on if you want the person behind you to pass. You will get passed-local drivers fast on curvy roads

Summary
We love St. Lucia!!! It is beautiful here and we’ll be back someday.

​Janus is the best host ever and St. Lucia is absolutely amazing! 

Sugar Beach – white sand, blue water, perfect spot to relax bring you towels and a cooler and relax on the beach. There is guest parking up the hill and they shuttle you down for free. 

Marigot Bay – About a 45 minute drive north but so beautiful the views during he drive make it worth it alone. Take a boat taxi to the beach and there are restaurants, party boats, rope swings. 

Zakas Coffee shop – Zaka and his family are amazing and so hospitable. The coffee and smoothies are soo good and we met some great people. 

Petit Piton – This hike was intense but so worth it! You can get a guide at the bottom near the entrance of sugar beach and they are so nice and informative. There are rope and some challenging inclines. So not for the faint of hear but I would recommend trying. 

Soufriere is the most beautiful spot on the island and the people are very nice and helpful. 

Sunshine nail and spa – gives great massages and ladies are all great. Perfect after a couple of long days in the sun or after a hike. 

Just be open to suggestions and have fun and you can’t do St. Lucia wrong. 

Enjoy

Thank you Janus!!!

    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.
