In St. Lucia
We just returned from our St. Lucian honeymoon and we are overwhelmed by the hospitality that was shown to us! The accommodations, food, and amenities were outstanding! We could not have asked for a more perfect honeymoon!
Thanks to Manhattan Bride magazine and the Bay Gardens Resort, my husband Paul and I had the honeymoon of our dreams. As we arrived on the breathtaking island of St Lucia, we were greeted at the airport by our friendly driver, Gary, who took us to the resort in a Porsche! The drive itself was lovely and informative, as he made sure to point out all the local sites and attractions along the way.
Upon reaching the resort, we were welcomed by the warm and pleasant staff. We must have had by far the best suite in the resort, with its direct ocean view on one side and the pool on the other. The room was decorated with fragrant flower petals delicately scattered about and we were delighted to find the fridge stocked with a tray of chocolate covered tropical fruits!
On our first evening we explored the resort, strolling to the nearby shopping plaza, and of course dining at the Hi-Tide, one of the resort’s two fabulous restaurants. My husband and I are both vegetarians, and we were treated with a large and absolutely delectable array of meal options! Even now, we find ourselves craving their delicious veggie lasagna and apple tarts! Not to mention their extravagant breakfast buffets!
One of the highlights of our trip was our land and sea excursion, where we had the opportunity to use pure volcanic sulfur mud and bathe in natural mineral springs. How often does one get to take a bath in the middle of a volcano!
