St. Lucia
 
We are going to St. Lucia in April '99. <BR>Does anyone have any experience staying at the Windjammer Beach Resort? How is the snorkeling on St. Lucia?

Hi, <BR>Unfortunately, I would seriously consider staying somplace else unless you are sure that this place is what you want, Because I thought it was a terrible ripoff(its expensive), for what was offered. The beach is awful(small and dirty, not pretty white sand, to say the least)...everyday I was asked to buy drugs, allday. Overall I was Sad that I went to St.Lucia and will not go back there.

<BR>Jan <BR> We are also going to St.Lucia in April of '99. We are staying at the Windjammer and are interested in hearing the experiences of others. <BR> Anton's posting says he stayed at Club St.Lucia in 1993 and it was an extreme rip-off. He never wants to go back to St.Lucia. Now, he says Windjammer was a rip-off. <BR> <BR> Is it just me????? <BR> Joyce

Jan: <BR> <BR>The Windjammer is FABULOUS! I was there with friends in May '97. There's a great jazz festival on the island every May. I think the Windjammer is one of the island's best. Though I'm not sure about the snorkeling, I did a great island tour by boat -- arranged by the hotel -- that made stops for snorkeling. We found the hotel to be quite helpful with recommendations and incredibly professional and warm. <BR> <BR>By the way, your vacation in incomplete without going to a "jump up" (block party) that is held weekly. <BR> <BR>Best wishes for a great holiday.
