St. Lucia accommodations

Where to stay on the island of St. Lucia - we are travelling over Christmas with our two sons, ages 27 and 26. Would like a fun place, clear beach and nice accommodations - preferably a villa.

The Landings has been recommended - they have a 2 or 3 bedroom villa (harborview).

Thank you for your response. We will definitely check out the Windjammer - the only thing I heard was that it was a real big resort. Have you heard anything about The Landings? And thank you - we do plan to call Serenity!

The Landings is a newer condo-style development, and at present it's smaller than Windjammer Landing, but you said you wanted a "fun" place, and that tends to suggest you want to be around other people with a wider range of activities. You'd find that at Windjammer Landing, though I think the "fun" factor is more for younger kids and not adults like you own kids. But I'd certainly stick close to Rodney Bay so you can enjoy the little nightlife that St. Lucia has to offer as well as the Gros Ilet Jump-up. Your sons will like the latter a lot.

Thanks Doug for your response. We do want a fun place - however I should have said a place that offers a variety of activities that is not secluded - where the nightlife wouldn't be such a distance to get there. So your suggestion of sticking close to Rodney Bay is appreciated since this is our first time at St Lucia. And thank you for the suggestion of the Gros Ilet Jump-up.

Doug I meant to ask if you like the Landings? The resort appears to offer a variety of activities like wind-surfing, deep sea fishing, etc.

Our family enjoys being active. We've gone deep-sea fishing, zip-lining, snorkeling, hiking, parasailing, ATVing,.

Also if there are other activities you would like to recommend please let us know - we would really appreciate it!

TY!

we stayed at windjammer landing with our sons, 17, 19, and 29 and there was plenty for them here. From speedboat rides and snorkeling, to banana boat rides, tubing, waterskiing, sailing, or cruising on a catamaran, plus the pool activities and floating raft, pool parties and entertainment nightly, beach barbeques, pingpong and volleyball, whatever you want to keep you busy, or do nothing at all. Town is close by for shopping, and more restaurants. the villas are gorgeous, too.

Windjammer is fabulous you will definatly have the time of your life. It is very family oriented though they cater for all type of guest. You have a choice of doing all inclusive or accommodation only. Hope you have a swell time in St. Lucia.
