The hotel

The Southern Palms Beach Club and Hotel is spread out along 1,000 ft of oceanfront at St Lawrence Gap, so it has the best of both worlds. There are spacious grounds in which to relax and unwind during the day and then lively restaurants, shops and bars just a 5-minute walk away for evening entertainment! You can look out over the Caribbean Sea as you dine in the Garden Terrace restaurant and, on Sundays, people come from all over the island to enjoy the wonderfully lazy Sunday buffet lunch — accompanied by live music.

we spent 16 nights in southern palms, expecting to isolate in our rooms for the first couple days of our trip, on arrival we found out we had a pool and outdoor area with sunbeds and chairs and tables to be in separate from the other guests, whilst we were quarantining! this meant we didn't lose any of our holiday whilst waiting for our covid tests to come back as we could still enjoy the sun and the pool. every time you enter the restaurant staff make sure to temperature you and once again there was an allocated area in the restaurant for those quarantining. beach was beautiful and we swam with turtles and fish less than 20 yards into the sea! |In the perfect location just a 5 minute walk to the main hub of St. Lawrence gap, there are so many bars and restaurants to go to nearby.

We live in strange times (Covid), but this show of compassion has been a positive experience and we will definitely be going back to SP for our reunion in better times. John Longmire Read less

This is our 15th stay at Southern Palms over the past 25 years. It did not fail to impress, the views are unbelievable, the staff really helpful and friendly. The restaurant is both affordable as well as decadent Plenty of places to visit on the Gap too. Both outside the hotel if your feeling lazy or further up the Gap for local street food or fish, Brazilian Asian Mexican or local food. Lots of repeat customers so that says it all A real gem Read less

We spent four nights here on a short break from St Lucia. The welcome from Jenny Wilson on reception was very friendly & we were checked in very quickly. The location of the the hotel is fantastic - right on a beautiful long beach very handy for an early morning walk and swim. The whole place was very clean and efficiently run and although the room was quite small it had everything we needed. Southern Palms is right in St Lawrence Gap so all the bars and restaurants are very easily accessible - all a short walk away. Breakfast at the hotel was very well run, fresh fruit, cereal, and the usual hot breakfast with freshly cooked eggs. We did not have any other meals as we were only on B & B. We were very happy with our stay and would like to thank our namesake, Miss Wilson and all the other staff for looking after us so well. We will be back! Read less

This hotel reminds of of something in days gone by. This is the type of hotel that you would picture Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra at, it is a throw back to a more romantic era of travel. It is an older hotel, I think that one of the buildings dates back to the 50's. The room decor and fittings are a bit older, but clean and functional. The… Read more
This hotel reminds of of something in days gone by. This is the type of hotel that you would picture Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra at, it is a throw back to a more romantic era of travel. It is an older hotel, I think that one of the buildings dates back to the 50's. The room decor and fittings are a bit older, but clean and functional. The grounds of the hotel are something that you can walk through with green areas and courtyards. If a hotel was built on the same area today it would be a concrete covered 1000 room vacation factory. As it is now it has more charm and atmosphere then any new hotel. The beach steps from any room in the hotel is magnificent. What sand and uncrowded. You can look 200 meters to the south and see an umbrella jungle. But the beach in front of Southern Palms may have 4 umbrellas total. For me there was a fun little surf break right in front of the hotel and the snorkeling was excellent. We swam with turtles every day. At the north end of the beach there is a reef and rock outcropping that had as much or more sea life then the Marine Sanctuary. I can not say enough about the excellent staff. The hotel rep, Kelly, was very helpful and always available. The grounds keeper and master of water sports, Rodney, was so accommodating and helpful and genuinely friendly. He even let my wife feed the fish and turtles in the hotel ponds. The hotel clientele seemed to be in an, older, age range, which suited us. It could not have been more peaceful. Read less
