This all-inclusive, village-style resort is set in 60 acres for your family to enjoy, situated beside the beach on the northern tip of the island. Almond Smugglers Cove is such a fun place and kids and adults alike will love it. The restaurant choices include Italian, Seafood, St Lucian creole and continental, and there are a number of bars to keep you refreshed. There’s 6 swimming pools to choose from, one dedicated to adults only and kids have lots more fun in store with their own club, offering an amazing array of activities, which is sure to keep the little ones amused. Active guests will find plenty to do – how about a set or two of tennis, or maybe a game of squash? Water lovers can take out a kayak or try their hand at windsurfing around the bay.
