Bay Gardens Hotel

St Lucia, Caribbean

Virgin rating

The hotel

This friendly hotel with a relaxed, easy-going ambience is situated in the centre of St Lucia's entertainment capital, Rodney’s Bay. Located just a short walk away from the bars, nightlife and casino you’ll be surrounded by liveliness but if that’s too much excitement retreat to your room for some seclusion, peace and quiet. The interior perfectly captures the unique tropical flavour of this island with fresh and vibrant Caribbean hues. See the island’s natural beauty and lush gardens from your private balcony or head on down to the 3 swimming pools for a cool swim. You’ll feel so relaxed and pampered by the unrivalled hospitality, you’ll wish you could stay longer.

Nice and clean hotel. It’s located in an ideal location, close to shopping malls, supermarkets and food spots. Loved that I was able to frequent the other properties as well. Would recommend to anyone traveling to St.Lucia. Xxxxxxxxxcfcc

I'm a very simple person so I don't require much. The room could've had a longer shower curtain so that the floor wasn't constantly getting wet while showering as well as the shower head could've had more pressure coming out.

I'm a very simple person so I don't require much. The room could've had a longer shower curtain so that the floor wasn't constantly getting wet while showering as well as the shower head could've had more pressure coming out. The room was quiet, the AC cooled the room and even though the room was outdated I knew what I paid for. The location was convenient and close by a mall and shopping. Everything was centered at the Bay Gardens Hotel which was right across the street and around the corner, the restaurants, the excursions concierge, and the entertainment for dinner. The women that worked at the Spice's restaurant made me feel out of place and like I didn't belong. They kept staring at me and pointing in my direction like we were in high school. They should learn more manners and how to make "all" guests feel welcomed. However, the men that worked there were very welcoming and went out of their way to accommodate me. I know that the UVF airport is over an hour and a half away but I feel like the taxi service that the Inn offered could've been at more of a discount than $90 (one way) especially for all-inclusive members. Overall I would stay at this hotel again especially since I'm a budget traveler. Read less

Stayed at both the Inn and the hotel . It is a three star hotel . Rooms were clean , but very dated and basic . Very convenient for Castries . Hotel organised taxis to and from port/airport. Staff were lovely. And breakfast was excellent ( omelettes were lovely ) . however at almost £200 a night it’s overpriced
