St Lucia
I chose Body Holiday St. Lucia as my fist solo vacation (my husband can no longer travel). I was one of the few “first timers” at the resort; I met people of all ages and most were repeat visitors (4 - 17 times!). It was easy to understand why - the resort is stunning, with a gorgeous beach, club house area, and several choices/options for delicious meals/snacks/drinks.The spa is lovely - very calming/restful and the fitness facilities, indoor and outside, are well equipped/maintained. My room had a garden view; it was clean, quiet and well situated within the resort. Although it is a Health and Wellness resort it is the visitors vacation - do as much or as little as you want! My all-inclusive package included any amount of fitness choices/water activities plus treatments (facial, scrubs, massages). At times there was entertainment on the beach or in the Clubhouse. And I felt safe. The staff were all professional and friendly; the trainers knowledgeable, helpful, and supportive. The motto “give us your body for a week and we will give you back your mind” is fitting but the next time I would plan a stay of at least 9 nights. For anyone planning an all-inclusive Health and Wellness vacation I would definitely recommend Body Holiday St. Lucia. [Details]

The strong points
1. The beauty, cleanliness, and safety (as a solo traveller) of the resort and what it offers; all-inclusive (with the exception of a few treatments/activities). 2. The meal choices - and all food was delicious and nicely presented. 3. The staff.
The weak points
I cannot think of any - it really was a perfect Health and Wellness resort.

A jewel of a resort in the lush Saint Lucia hills. Activities from 6am to 6pm. Do as much or as little as you want. There is something for everyone and the staff goes out of their way to accommodate all. Many guests were returned visitors which is easy to understand why. [Details]

A Holiday for the Body and Mind

Great vacation for mind and body. You can be as active as you wish or just relax. The staff is friendly, helpful and very hospitable - the food was excellent in terms of variety and taste. Definitely will go again! NOTE: the beach was facing erosion and the hotel was already planning to bring in more sand to replace what has eroded. [Details]

We've been to a few Resorts, but this one has everything at the highest quality level. The food is always great - even the buffet is excellent, with different themes daily and a large, fresh, high quality selection. The Windows on Cariblue tasting menu is superb! Tao restaurant is Fusion cookiing at it's finest. I don't have a bad word to say about this place, if I did I would tell you. It's not a crazy party place, it's more refined. It's very relaxing, or there's lots of activities you can do. There were no children, which is a plus... There was one older lady in a wheelchair, so disabled can be accommodated if needed, and there is an elevator for guest rooms, but in my opinion it's not the best Resort if you have trouble walking - it's hilly and spread out a little bit. Highly recommended. [Details]

Excellent Food, Daily Spa Treatments are included, quality drinks, it's clean, staff is great, weather was great - hot and sunny most of the time, what else can you ask for? it is a truly excellent vacation...
The weak points
There is an elevator, but if walking is a problem you will have difficulty. Also, it's the farthest resort from airport- 90 minutes by bus, although the St Lucia helicopter service takes 12 minutes (but then a short cab ride)- book heli online before.

An Amazing Resort and Island
L.E., Port Elgin, ON
2012-04-15
The hotel, amenities, services, people and location went far beyond our expectations. The beach was lovely. The spa treatments were excellent and were administered beautifully. Everyone made sure our vacation was relaxing and any little problem was quickly addressed. The staff and management genuinely are pleased to meet you and make every effort to ensure you are well looked after. The variety of food and presentation was wonderful. The house wines are delicious and plenty. The waterfront staff and the activities offered seem endless. You could literally spend all day participating in some sort of sport or activity whether it be tennis, archery, mountain biking, playing golf, pilates, etc.So choose what you care to do or try something new. Be advisded that St. Lucia is very hilly and you need to walk up to your treatments so if you have any mobility issues this may not be the resort for you. You can book your treatments ahead of time through the website.If you need to change your time they are most accommodating. We hired a taxi and had a wonderful day visiting the Botanical gardens, the Plantation, and the sulphur springs...try to purchase locally made items. The St. Lucians are polite,caring and appreciate your interest in their island. Please be respectful of them and their island. It is truly a paradise. I have absolutely no regrets about this resort. It is an amazing experience and I do feel rejuvenated. The only complaint is the sand fleas and mosquitoes which the resort cannot control. So come prepared with a bug repellent and "afterbite" or something stronger. The front reception has some repellent if you forget. One other reason to visit St. Lucia is the airport is efficient upon arrival and departure. Very easy! So go and enjoy...no regrets. [Details]

The weak points
The only area of concern are the sand fleas and mosquitoes. I did have quite a reaction to the bites. An antihistamine such as Benadryl would have helped me. (but that is how I react)

You are made to feel so welcome from your arrival on. Everyone is so friendly and I love the fact that there are no televisions in the rooms - it makes the place so restful. There are so many programmes to choose from as well.
After arriving we were told that the room we booked was not available due to overbooking and would be upgraded for a night. Well the room that was an "upgrade" was far from impressive - in fact it appeared that the room was in it's original state since the resort was opened - moldy with a leaking air conditioner. After the initial shock from the room we went to the bar for a drink and to watch the sunset. Well the bar was covered in sand flies - and I mean covered. It also looked like the bar was never cleaned and in fact the same could be said for the dishes (dishwasher at the bar was broken). Overall a very disappointing holiday and I could not recommend this resort to anyone! [Details]

Nice hotel in an excellent location. The buildings and facilities are a little tired and dated but the services and range of activities offered are outstanding. The staff is highly professional and very friendly. The beach and ocean swimming area are small but clean and very enjoyable. Overall, good value for the premium price paid. Also, quality of guests is also high - no drunken hoodlums or any other major problems. High % of Brits at the resort. [Details]

My wife and I visited Body holiday in Mach 2009.Our first impression was quite disappointing. Front desk staff was gone and nowhere to be found and after about 20 min we were finally able to check in . We were given a room with 2 twin beds. After this first few issues our vacation was smooth sailing. Food is unbelievable, spa treatments relaxing. [Details]
