Balata Hotels

"The hotel had good amenities - restaurants, bars, pools and a spa. The views of the marina were great. Service was excellent. I wish the bathroom had an exhaust fan, as the moisture in the room would not go away after showers and wet swim clothes would stay wet even after 2 days."

"Best views, friendly attentive staff, and free upgrade! Breakfast included was great every morning. Booking through Expedia saved me thousands!! Were going again next year!"

"The bar offer a good selection of drinks."

"This resort was very nice. The staff were amazing!! The food was mediocre but better than most all inclusive resorts. The night time entertainment was fun but didn’t last long. Pools were beautiful and the beach was out of this world. I would definitely recommend this to resort. "

"Thoroughly enjoyed our honeymoon here and we absolutely loved Stacey! Request for Stacey for lunch or dinner. Such an awesome and knowledgeable individual! "

"Thank you Bay gardens for exceptional service Christel at reception you are the best! Keep up the excellent service "

"The staff are incredibly nice and accommodating at this resort. Beautiful location and the food was good. "

"On first appearances (photos on the net, etc.), it’s easy to mistake this all-inclusive hotel/small resort overlooking Castries for a fairly modest property. But it punches well above its weight class. The pools and pool decks are lovely, the grounds are immaculately well-kept (complete with organic farm sloping down from the lower pool), the food is good, the drinks flow freely, the rooms are clean and up-to-date, everything works, and – above all else – the staff are absolutely wonderful. They’re attentive, warm, gracious and not at all shy on charisma. The icing on the cake for me was when my daughter had to cancel a day or two before she was scheduled to arrive, as she became quite sick back in Canada. The hotel had every right to penalize me for half her stay. But between management and the front desk, they decided to reimburse her stay in full. Unheard of. I should note that I stayed in two other resorts during my stay in St. Lucia, and while both are ranked in the most exclusive top 5 on the island, Bel Jou will always own a special place in my heart. Big thanks to everybody at Bel Jou! James "

"I stayed at Green Fig Resort in St. Lucia for two nights while exploring the Soufrière area, including the Pitons, Sugar Beach, and a local hike. The location is fantastic—perfectly situated overlooking Soufrière and close to so many of the island’s highlights. The views are truly stunning and seem to follow you everywhere on the property. Whether you’re in your room, by the restaurant, or walking through the grounds, there’s always something beautiful to take in. There are quite a few steps throughout the resort, but I was completely fine with them and felt they added to the charm and sense of adventure. My room felt like a little treehouse—cozy, peaceful, and tucked into the landscape in a way that really connected you to nature. Overall, Green Fig was a great base for exploring the area while still feeling relaxed and immersed in the beauty of St. Lucia."
