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

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

St Lucia is one of my favourite islands - a blanket of lush forest, emerald mountains and beautiful palm-fringed beaches crowned by the magnificent Pitons. It is rightly feted as the Caribbean’s most romantic island, a firm favourite for honeymooners but it can additionally boast a host of high-octane pursuits and watersports, making it also a great destination for the more adventurous traveller. I chose to visit for my own holiday and stayed at the magnificent Rendezvous ho
