SJP Holidays

My wife and I first visited Anse Chastenet in the spring of 2023. We've loved visiting St Lucia since we first went as a family in 2016, and as part of an earlier visit, we'd been on a snorkelling trip to Anse Chastenet Bay. A friend had also told me that Anse Chastenet was a very different sort of resort - much closer to nature - which greatly appealed to us. Our stay in 2023 was excellent, even after the drive along the approach road to the resort, which is frequently menti

This one felt really special. Call me old-fashioned, but how wonderfully refreshing to receive a card from this lovely couple after their stay at the adult-only Keyonna Beach boutique hotel in Antigua. Who needs emails and phones when you have a note like this? 😊 Hi Susan, We just wanted to thank you for arranging such a lovely holiday for us, it was perfect. Our room, we think, was probably the best one of the 47 rooms in the resort. The staff call our small block “in the c

Earlier this year, I finally ticked off the Island of Spice - Grenada. Kicking off my trip with a few nights at Mount Cinnamon, a boutique hotel I’ve had my eye on for years, was the perfect start. Just 15 minutes from the airport, Mount Cinnamon is a stunning intimate boutique hotel perched on the hillside overlooking gorgeous Grand Anse Beach. As a self-confessed beach snob, let me tell you - this two-mile stretch of golden sand did not disappoint. The property itself felt

Last winter, I was privileged to spend a few nights at the beautiful East Winds Hotel as part of my Caribbean holiday. I enjoyed my stay here so much that it felt fitting to write a more detailed personal piece on this stunning resort. By way of an introduction, have a peek at the following video for a visual sense of what awaited me… I’m always happy to return to an island that I love to explore a different resort and experience. This boutique hotel, located on one of St Luc

Saint Lucia was our first major holiday together and it was worth every penny. Susan was very considerate and patient, answering our questions and helping create an experience that we will never forget. Sandals Regency La Toc was the perfect choice for us - the balance of relaxation, indulgence and excitement was spot on and exceeded our expectations in every way. The location was ideal, the weather gorgeous, and the locals and staff were so welcoming with outstanding service

I don’t often return to a place, so St Lucia must have something special. It also happens to be a good route to another of my bucket list destinations, Bequia, in beautiful St Vincent and the Grenadines. My 11-night itinerary was an initial four in St Lucia and two at the end, sandwiched between five in Bequia - perfect. On my last trip to St Lucia in 2015, I did a little hotel hopping, staying at Windjammer Landings, The Body Holiday and Rendezvous, now known as StolenTime b

Lucy’s dad is one of my long-standing clients, so I was over the moon when she asked me to help plan her honeymoon. Lucy and her husband, Richard, were looking to kick-start married life with two relaxing weeks in the sun. They had a few destinations in mind but settled on the beautiful island of Antigua. Lucy was kind enough to share her experience… It's honeymoon time! The brief we gave Susan was a place we had never been and somewhere that we could relax that was ‘honeymoo

I am not normally one for sitting still and not doing too much of anything on holiday but from time to time, one of these breaks is just what’s needed. I had been to Jamaica before so had already experienced the main tourist spots of Ocho Rios, Montego Bay and Dunns River Falls, so my trip last summer was simply about the beach and chilling. Sandals Negril was the resort of choice to help accomplish our mission. Negril is on the west coast, around 90 mins from Montego Bay Air
