It truly does live up to those stunning social media images

Reviewed By SRyanNJ

We are leaving the resort today after a week’s vacation (5/28-6/4). It has been a long time since I’ve been somewhere where I do NOT want to leave and would do anything for another few days! Let me start by saying this is our first ever vacation where we decided to do nothing - just signed up for “full relaxation”. We usually are “on the go - see and do everything “ type of vacation people. So booking a week at a beach resort was a big gamble for us. Would we be bored? Would it not live up to the hype? What would the food be like (we are total foodies). Well it has been THE BEST vacation and we haven’t left the resort in the entire week. The social media images you see (and what enticed us to book our stay here way back in January in the depths of a miserably cold and snowy winter) - yes they are all true and then some! It really is that stunning. Our villa was gorgeous. We we stayed in the one-bedroom luxury villa #702. Breathtaking views of the pitons and the water. The pool and outdoor patio area is stunning and the villa is very spacious and well equipped. There is a 24/7 shuttle service to get you around the resort (it’s very steep and the villas are a fair way from the beach and restaurants) which is easily accessible by the custom cell phone you are given on arrival. Super convenient and easy. The food has been the best surprise though. Good variety of dining styles and options, regular ala carte and also a few specialty buffet nights in the beachside restaurants. We are not buffet people but the couple we did try were excellent. Have to confess though, we fell in love with ordering mojitos and food on the beach each day while relaxing on the chaise lounges under the huge umbrellas. It was our daily slice of heaven Finally a HUGE shout out to the staff! Everyone- and I mean everyone- is so incredibly friendly, welcoming and professional. The staff can’t do enough for you to ensure your vacation is perfect. They made the trip that much more special! They truly are fantastic So - if you’re on the fence about Sugar Beach - we can not recommend it highly enough. We will definitely be coming back again. Sure it’s not cheap - but it’s so worth it.

Paradise

Reviewed By chriskS9187BS

I stumbled across St. Lucia while browsing places to take a birthday vacation. When I saw the view of the Pitons, I was immediately called to it! When I researched resorts in Soufriere that had great views, most of the prices were astronomical. But I stumbled upon the Green Fig Resort & Spa. I couldn’t believe how affordable it was with the views. The pictures almost didn’t look real. But they had great reviews so I decided to book it and I’m so glad that I did. Michael, the GM greeted us at check in and was one of the friendliest people I’ve ever come across. After being there for a few hours we realized the entire staff was that way. It didn’t feel forced. They all genuinely seemed like they wanted everybody to have a good time. They even seemed as though they were having a good time themselves. While they don’t have TV’s at the bar, Michael went out of his way to set up a projector for me to watch a playoff game and they also helped decorate my room with flowers and champagne while I was out snorkeling (a tour that they booked at a very reasonable price.) The views from every inch of the property are breathtaking, the food at the restaurant is delicious, the drinks from the bar are great. Every room is so spread out that it feels like you’re in paradise alone, yet there was a great vibe at the pool and bar that all the guests of the resort seemed to be lifelong friends. There’s no negative aspect of it. I’ve seen people complain about the stairs or the road to the property but after driving around the island for a week, that’s just an aspect of St. Lucia. While I don’t like to visit the same place twice, there’s something magical about the Pitons and waking up to them each morning, so when I find myself back in St. Lucia, it will definitely be at The Green Fig.

Calabash Cove Resort and Spa

Nestled in the sheltered bay of Bonaire Estate, Calabash Cove Resort & Spa is one of just a select few full-service, boutique luxury resorts in St. Lucia, perched on a hillside sloping gently towards the Caribbean Sea, where cool ocean breezes provide a wonderful respite and the turquoise sea is offset by the vibrant green of tropical vegetation and views of Walcott Island. A private beach and nearby coral reef provide the perfect place to rest, reflect and dream. The resort has been designed with great care to complement and exist in harmony with the beauty of the natural surroundings. The natural elements of earth, wind, light and water are represented in the exotic wood, stone and natural materials used in the composition of the buildings. The peaceful and tranquil gardens, under the care of one of the finest landscape architects in the Caribbean, have been created to capture the natural splendor of the area and are filled with vibrant, fragrant flowers set amid groves of trees.

Amazing Honeymoon Vacation

Calabash Cove has to be one of the best all inclusive I’ve ever been to. The staff, food, and the property all were outstanding! They go above and beyond to make you feel pampered and important. They get all the little things right here and we couldn’t have been happier. Next time we visit we 1000% will be back to this amazing resort! We will be recommending to our family and friends as soon as we get home.

Superb holiday in a great hotel.

Reviewed By Jason W

The hotel itself is just beautiful; for me just the right size. Not too big so that it’s catering for the masses but big enough so that a nice atmosphere is created and every individual is looked after and made to feel special. We had a beautiful King Double room with a large balcony that was completely private and could only be viewed upon from the waterways of the Marina. It was very modern and had everything that you could need (iron and ironing board, safe, tea and coffee making facilities, fridge, large flat screen tv and an en-suite bathroom including a beautiful walk in shower). There are other options for rooms, many with balconies that overlook the pool area and have views across the Marina and also some swim up rooms. The hotel itself is located in Rodney Bay which has many good restaurants and bars close by, which was part of the reason that we decided not to go all inclusive. This suited us as we were staying for 2 weeks and wished to sample the variety that’s available close by. Having said that, the food available at the hotel is very good (but the menu was a little limited if eating there every day for two weeks), if staying for a week then going ‘All Inclusive’ would possibly be a good option. This would then also give you full access to sample the fabulous cocktails that are available throughout the day served up by the very knowledgeable, hardworking and charismatic duo of Ronnie and Lex. These guys know their stuff and are the heartbeat of the poolside bar. As lovely as the hotel is, it’s the wonderful staff that take it from a good hotel to a great one. We’ve never been made to feel more welcome anywhere else in the world. From our very first minutes in the hotel, we were met by the reception staff who wanted to get us checked in as quickly as possible; as soon as they became aware of the long hot, arduous journey we’d just endured, we were invited to sit down and relax and to refresh ourselves with some complementary drinks before completing the necessary paperwork. I’d love to give all the staff who enhanced our holiday a mention but there are far too many to name; thank you all! There is only one slight negative and that is the evening entertainment, but that could be down to personal taste really. We really did enjoy the local Reggae bands and also local DJ HP, however some of the other acts weren’t to our taste. To summarise; would we return ? - Yes. Would we be happy to recommend ? - Yes

So after a 2 hour journey from the airport we arrived at the Royalton. All looked good and we were exhausted after a long journey but we had to get in quite a big queue to get our room details, when we reached reception we were told we had to pay 200USD as a holding fee for any damage and 168USD visitors tax, we were never told about the 200USD holding fee and was told the visiting tax would be a couple of dollars a day! When getting to the room which was quite a walk away we were pleasantly surprised, it was very large, 2 big beds and a whirlpool bath, nice balcony and quite nice views and a lovely shower. But the following days things were not so good. Every day various spirits were unavailable, when speaking to our rep we were assured the issue would be resolved, it never was and became very frustrating. In the room we were supplied with a coffee percolator which was lovely but you need a plug adapter to work it, I went to reception 3 days running to get the adapter, the 3rd day it arrived. We were locked out of our room for 3 days, having to keep walking g back to reception to report it. After 3 days it was resolved. The down escalator was not working on arrival and was still not working on departure, we were able to walk up and down it while not working which was quite dangerous. On both the up and down escalators the hand rail was totally worn off. The long pool close to the beach was dirty and had tiles missing which you could easily have cut your feet on. The 5 restaurants you didn't have to book for apart from one but we were hardly ever able to walk in and sit down as there was 6 of us, it seems larger than 4 people are not catered for unless you eat early. On a plus note, the food was nice, quite a good selection, 99.9% of staff were lovely, especially Kim in the Mexican and Rodney in the Steak House. The rooms are cleaned daily, altho sometimes you would get 2 towels the next 4 so a bit weird. The beds are really comfortable and the air con is good, altho don't leave it off as the room gets damp. We felt the location was quite isolated, there was no where to walk to, no bars or other restaurants so if you like a walk out this is not the place for you. Some people may think my comments are trivial but we saved hard for this very expensive holiday, over £4000 for 2 of us, we were quite disappointed with the hotel. Definitely not 5☆ as advertised.

Not worth your hard earned money or you precious time

Reviewed By Millierey123

Please take my review into serious consideration. Spend a little more money and book somewhere else. The pictures I posted should be enough for you to decide on whether this is a place for you or not. The condition of this resort has changed my perception of resorts for the rest of my life. I will never stay at a resort again. The front desk staff has a lengthy check in process which would have been smoother if they were more welcoming and more polite. We barely got a hello from the only worker that was behind the desk when we arrived. No refreshments served to us upon arrival. I felt as if I was intruding on this property. My family’s rooms were spread out and it was a concern when traveling with family especially my elderly mother in law and my 25 year old daughter who was harassed by the bell boy. She slept with a chair propped against the door every night. I felt great concern and kept watch while we were there. My mother in laws room key didn’t work for 4 days and it was not rectified by any of the managers until I shouted out of frustration and disappointment. We had asked everyday for a key, but our voices fell on deaf ears. One day as I was waiting to ask about her key, I noticed a family arriving and they were greeted with refreshments and two workers ready to help. Nothing like what we had. Everyone should have the same treatment upon arriving to a resort for vacation. I’m normally not this way. I work in a hospital and the first and most important part of my job is to make people feel important and safe. I did not have that experience at the Mystic. I had the exact opposite. Trip advisor also changed our meal plan which led to another issue. My rooms air conditioning unit was not working when we arrived but was fixed right away. The vents are dirty and moldy. I didn’t get into the pool because it was filthy. The restaurant and bartender were the only employees who were welcoming and friendly. They should be given a raise because they are not paid well enough in my eyes. The food presentation and selection could be better. Overall, my visit at the Mystic ruined part of my vacation and experience in St Lucia. It was very disappointing because we looked forward to this trip since Covid started. Good luck if you decide to stay with Mystic.
