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 Bay. Located just a short walk away from the bars, and nightlife, 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.

Bay Gardens Hotel was recommended to us by family who had stayed there many times before. It is situated right in the middle of everything. There are malls, restaurants, grocery stores, and nightclubs all within 2 minute walking distance. For that reason alone, I would choose this over their sister hotels. The hotel was bright, clean and very well kept. The rooms, although older, were also clean and well kept. The staff was friendly, and always helpful. Initially, we were placed in different areas of the hotel, so requested to move closer to friends. The next day they kindly accommodated us. We absolutely recommend the Bay Gardens family of hotels and resorts and specifically this location. Read less
