Hyatt St. Lucia
Does anyone know how the resort construction is progressing? My husband and I will be there mid-May. The website provides some general information, but no pictures (which makes sense as it is still being constructed)? Any rumors about quality, progress, etc...?

Sheila/Kay, <BR> <BR>We were on Pidgeon Island this past Saturday for the day. Our ship crew prepared lunch and location was right next to new Hyatt. Progress looks great! Talked w/some locals who claim it should be ready 'on time'. Hotel is right on beach overlooking Caribbean...Atlantic Ocean is on 'other side'. My opinion is you will need a car as main part of St. Lucia is approx. 25 min. by cab. Hope this helps. <BR>PS -- Hyatt structure is white w/blue roofs...seems attractive

Sheila, <BR> <BR>Re: driving/St. Lucia...as mentioned we were only on the island briefly. We did hire a driver, and when we commented that Hyatt seemed 'remote', were told that all hotels have cab service, but that this could get pricey and many folks rent car for a week. <BR>Since we did not venture into the center of the island, I cannot comment, w/exception of our brief transport w/driver. The ride was uneventful. We rented a jeep on Anguilla and found the driving pleasant. Hope other Fodorites can assist re: driving on St. Lucia. One alternative is to check on car rental availability at Hyatt prior to your arrival (w/out actually making a decision)...after you arrive at hotel you can determine if you would get your money's worth vs. a cab, and then make a decision.
