Hotel Review: Anse Chastanet

As mentioned in my post yesterday, we stayed at two different resorts during our St. Lucia vacation. After our time in Castries (the capital), we took a taxi down the island to the fishing village of Soufriere, a beautiful place with the dramatic backdrop of the Pitons. While in Soufriere, we stayed at the luxurious Anse Chastanet resort (perhaps you recognize their sister site, the mind-blowingly beautiful Jade Mountain?). Here's a bit about our experience...

Hotel Review: Windjammer

We split our time in St. Lucia by staying at two resorts in different cities. The first one we stayed at was the Windjammer Landing Beach Resort, which is located near the capital of Castries (on the northwest part of the island.)

Planning a trip to St. Lucia? Here's the scoop on our experience at Windjammer Landing...

St. Lucia's Rainforest

Ziplining in St. Lucia was off the agenda this time (obviously), but we took an aerial tram tour and enjoyed a forest floor hike to experience the sights, sounds, and smells of the rainforest....

Off to St. Lucia

We're headed to St. Lucia! Yay for babymoons and family vacations! Over the past week, I've been devouring everything and anything island-related. Restaurant recommendations, adventurous excursions, all things culture and craft. I'm beyond excited! I downloaded a bunch of books onto my Kindle, packed light, and charged all my camera equipment, so I'm ready to enjoy a week of fun in the sun! For the first time in awhile, I'm actually not bringing my laptop with me on a trip. We'll be staying at two different resorts, one in Castries and the other in Soufriere, and I'll be sure to share all about them when we return.
Stay tuned for some exciting writing news & travel stories... Have a fabulous week! xo

On the Calendar: St. Lucia

We booked our fall vacation, and we leave in less than a month! (Here's where we went last year). We're going to a spot that's been on my bucket list for quite some time now – St. Lucia – and I am thrilled. Things on the agenda include therapeutic mud baths, a tram ride through the rainforest canopy, a whale/dolphin watching tour, sailboating and light snorkeling. And relaxing and bonding of course! Can't wait to share about our adventures – which you may even get to see on HD video on a computer screen near you ;)

Have you been to St. Lucia?

Would love to hear your activity, food and hotel reviews below!
