My fiancee and I are looking to honeymoon in St. Lucia this July and I'm having the hardest time trying to figure out where to go and what's worth the price.

We're planning on staying 7 nights there and keeping it under 5k dollars. Having a nice beach is HUGE for us...but I know it's pretty limited with St. Lucia's geography. Can anyone recommend a resort they stayed at that had a beautiful beach??

I was looking into Smugglers Cove but after so many reviews I stopped lying to myself that it was a good deal...

Great choice of destination! Ask yourself if you want an all inclusive resort or not. Do you want to explore is stay at your resort? You may like to split your time half and half as it gives you the best of both worlds. Being in Rodney Bay Village you don't need to be at an All Inclusive as you have lots of choice on your door step and use as a base to explore. Am biased to Coco Palm which is in the heart of the village offering a boutique hotel across the road from the best beach. Soufriere on an all inclusive basis would show you another option or any of the other resorts. Ti Kaye is a nice one, Sandals is good just to name a few. All depeneds on how much you want to spend and if you want to explore. Hope this helps!

Best value: I recommend Bay Gardens Beach Resort. I would also rent the 1 Bdrm Beach Front accomodations. Reduit Beach is very nice. The hotel is at the far end walking distnce to many restarants.

It's gotta be Sugar Beach (The Jalousie Plantation)... It has a fantastic beach and is set in the world heritage site between the pitons... it is truly amazing!
