A very memorable Stay at Bel Jou. My recent stay at the Bel Jou Hotel was truly exceptional. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, going above and beyond to make my stay comfortable and enjoyable. Shoutout to Mickey and Quincy specifically. They are both great! The food was delicious, with a variety of options to suit everyone. I was particularly impressed by the food since its a smaller resort and from my past experiences food at all inclusive can be a hit or miss but they did a great job. I absolutely loved it there was always a local dish option because I like to eat local foods wherever I go. One of the highlights of my trip was celebrating my birthday during the hotel's Creole Festival BBQ. The festivities were amazing, with many talented musicians and dancers. The food was amazing and friendly locals. It was a truly authentic cultural experience. The hotel's free shuttle service to the beautiful beach was a convenient and great way to spend the day. The pristine waters and stunning scenery were simply breathtaking. Definitely one of my top favorite beaches. I highly recommend the Bel Jou Hotel to anyone seeking an affordable relaxing, laid-back vacation in St. Lucia.

Absolutely loved the hotel. The Lounge a place to relax for those quiet moments outside of your room. The coffee shop to pick up good quality coffee and a book or just to chill out. 2 pools never seemed over crowded... Loved the Aqua Aerobics good fun. Variety of food and drinks, great All Inclusive Package. To be greeted every day by whichever member of staff you met from the Managers to everyone that works at the hotel made my trip Superb.

Definitely 💯 thumbs up from the second we were greeted I knew we made the right decision. The hotel is small but well kept well managed and the service and staff were amazing!! Excellent hospitality and everyone went above and beyond to create a wonderful experience. Big shoutout to the team Ms Princess, Ms Nicole, Mikey, Brendan and some names I might’ve missed. But please visit the Bel Jou you will love ❤️ the place. Great change from the much larger more “Americanized” resorts. I would definitely stay again!!!

Wandering Us

Wow we cannot say enough about our stay, everyone was kind, accommodating, the food was amazing, the drinks were top tier, the views were 360, the price was right and it was an overall amazing stay. From Kidada and Nicole at the front desk to Mikey greeting you with drinks. Princess, Brendon and Vionce provided top tier service always with a smile. We enjoyed our ride with Woody to the street party (you cannot miss if there on a Friday night) and our ride to the airport from Krissy was so fun she knows so much about the island! We also enjoyed our peaceful after noon at Veggie beach (hotel provides free shuttle) We hope to be back sooner than later. St. Lucia & Bel Jou stole our hearts!

I absolutely loved my visit to Bel Jou and St Lucia. Everything is perfect. The attention to detail and customer service are impeccable. I love the fact everyone acknowledges you from ground staff to management. You are definitely made to feel special. The transport options also go above and beyond to ensure you can travel around safely. As someone traveling on my own this was a great option. Above 10 out of 10!! Will definitely visit again.

My husband and I purchased a day pass at the resort for my birthday and it was awesome! It included lunch and other food as well as a drink package. There were also a few surprises from the staff. 😁😁 We got chairs and an umbrella and a server that gets your drinks and food. There is an incredible snorkeling area that is roped off but you can snorkel anywhere there. Thank you so much for offering the day pass - it was just perfect!!

My partner and I eloped to Anse Chastanet in November 2023, and it was an experience beyond our wildest dreams. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in the beauty and tranquility of this stunning resort. **Wedding Experience:** A special shoutout to Janelle, our wedding coordinator, who was simply the best. Her meticulous attention to detail and her vibrant energy made our wedding day perfect. Janelle answered countless questions with patience and ensured that everything ran smoothly. My bouquet was an exact match to the picture I provided, showcasing her strong attention to detail and dedication. Bernd, the photographer, along with Casey and the rest of the team, were phenomenal. They had an incredible eye for capturing the breathtaking scenery, resulting in stunning shots that we will treasure forever. **Resort Amenities:** The resort itself is a unique blend of luxury and local flair. The decor and food reflect the rich culture of Saint Lucia, providing an authentic and immersive experience. The service was outstanding, with staff going above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. The food was incredible, offering a delightful array of dishes that catered to all tastes. The beach and water were stunning, with a gorgeous onsite reef perfect for snorkeling. The resort features walking trails and two beaches, ensuring that it never felt crowded. Overall, our stay at Anse Chastanet set a new standard for us. We cannot wait to return and relive the magic of this extraordinary resort. Thank you, Anse Chastanet, for giving us the wedding and honeymoon of our dreams.

It is rare I write a review in middle of a trip but wanted to give a shout out to this special property. Charming and unique resort - from start to finish. Exceptional customer service throughout - friendly and welcoming staff. Extra Touches make this a joy! Fresh fruit and water brought, unprompted, to you beachside. Eucalyptus enriched cold towels. Excellent food and variety each day. Spa. A real treat too. Best massage and facial in forever! Of note! It pays to be be fit to stay here as 100-200 steps down from your bedroom to the beach. This is more eco friendly, I am guessing, than staying at a large resort. So, fans throughout and mosquito nets for easy sleeping. (Some rooms with a/c are beachside). (Pay close attention to boats coming in and out of jetty (while swimming). Also, road getting in to the property is challenging. Windy with potholes so I would skip the car rental. You can use water taxis to make your way around. Don’t hesitate to book. So happy we made this our choice

We found Anse Chastanet with British Airways Holidays and booked the all inclusive package. Location: Beautiful location on the hillside with lovely views of the Pitons and sea. Enjoyed sunset views on our balcony in our room. One note to be prepared for the bumpy track to the hotel. We didn't find it too bad but could be troublesome for those who get car sick. I'd recommend asking the hotel to take the water taxi from the local town as they do provide this for a small charge and are happy to accommodate. Room: Our standard room was very spacious with great amenities. The molton brown products were lovely as well as the welcome rum drink and banana bread. The bed was very comfortable and we enjoyed our 'fact of the day' bedtime reading as part of the turndown service. Housekeeping was excellent throughout our stay and the hotel kindly gave us a bottle of prosecco for our anniversary. They left plenty of water each day in our room. We didn't have any trouble with mosquitoes but there was bug spray in the room in case. We are light sleepers so we made use of the ear plugs and eye masks in the room but it's lovely to fall asleep and wake up to the sound of nature. There was no air conditioning in our room but there were plenty of fans and found it was cool enough at night to have a good sleep. Food: We were impressed with the variety of food options and the quality of the food. Drinks, cocktails and wine were super! This is where the all inclusive package pays for itself as you can enjoy breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner every day. We enjoyed that they provided towels on the beach and you could put out a yellow flag to order drinks and food. Services: complimentary activies include yoga, chocolate and rum tastings, walks and water sports. We also paid to hike up the Gross Piton (a great climb but not for the faint hearted!), saw plenty of Dolphins and Sperm Whales on the whale watching tour and went on an escorted snorkle to the Piton. The snorkelling around the reef at the beach is also fantastic and we saw plenty of colourful fish, turtles, baby barracuda and sea snakes. Every morning and afternoon the beach attendants would come around with cool lemongrass towels and spray us lightly with a eucalyptus spray to cool us down. Much appreciated in the hot weather! I had am aromatherapy massage in the air conditioned spa which was very relaxing! Staff: Everyone was so friendly and made our stay comfortable. A big thank you to the girls at reception for letting us check out of our room later for our delayed evening flight. We were able to enjoy the beach for a couple more hours! We enjoyed meeting everyone and recommend the nature walk with Meno. Thank you all for a wonderful stay.

Absoulutely Beautiful 😍 The rooms are big and the food is great. No AC in upper rooms but they have big beautiful views of the ocean

Sydney Stern

This was our first all-inclusive vacation and first time at a Sandal’s resort. The facilities were extremely clean and well taken care of. The staff were all friendly. Ronnel went out of his way to make us feel comfortable and retrieve our bag that I accidentally left at the Grand. He was great! The food was also great! We stayed 4 days and couldn’t get enough. We went on the ‘Captain for the day’ excursion and it was incredible! It was beyond worth the money and a great way to ensure you do everything. The only complaint we had was the constant selling of upgrades or additions. We couldn’t walk very far without Sandal’s staff or a vendor trying to sell us more stuff. We got several calls to the room to sell candlelit dinners and photos. We just wanted to enjoy the serenity but understood the economy relied on tourism. It was just a little badgering. Overall great experience and couldn’t imagine a better honeymoon location!

mark thomas

A great resort in a wonderful beach location. The staff are amazing, always friendly, happy to help you in any way. The food is wonderful and varied. One big problem is some of the adults think it a challenge to drink the resort dry. I won't recommend this resort to anyone who likes a relaxing holiday in a great resort. There are two many loud obnoxious drunken people spoiling it for me. I will not return.

Abbie Thompson

The best vacation for a couples get away. Sandals at Halcyon Beach made our honeymoon so enjoyable and relaxing. The food at every restaurant was amazing especially Kelly’s Dockside. Olivia at Mario’s made our dinner so enjoyable. We felt like we were right at home and the staff really do care about their guest. The activities by the pool were so much fun. Even though we were only there for 5 days most of the poolside staff knew us by name by the 2nd day. We will definitely be returning!!!

Dillan Rogers

We visited recently and we had an amazing time! The people were incredible and always helpful. The food was good and the drinks never ending. The only complaint about the entire trip was that the mattress was so firm it had no give to it. All in all, we would be more than happy to return!

Deborah Martin

When we arrived we received a warm and happy welcome with the staff singing for us. The hotel is beautiful. The food was outstanding and cannot complain. Heather makes some fantastic eggs at bayside. Malachi in the clubrooms was fantastic, courteous and always on hand to help. Lorenzo in kimonos was so funny and kind, the food was incredible. Overall the hotel exceeded expectations, we had daily room cleaning and towels changed everyday. Upon returning from dinner and drinks we had also received a nightly turn down service.

ivana estrada

first i want to say how beautiful the resort and location were! the staff and everyone were so accommodating. the resort is very clean, my room was constantly cleaned. me and my husband got married here and it was the best place and resort to do it! it’s was just us two! the wedding team was absolutely phenomenal! my day was so wonderful! thank you for making my day so perfect and special! another great thing i loved was they are very accommodating if you have any food allergies! they made me a gluten free pizza it was so delicious! overall the food and service were 10/10 the only thing i have to say is the rooms need to be a little more modernized but otherwise 10/10 overall! and will definitely come back!! thank you again!!

Emily Roy

Came for my honeymoon and was excited to splurge and have a relaxing and pampered time. Positives include the amenities and gorgeous location. The scuba diving and other water sports were great. Spa was nice. Cons... the food was so extremely hit and miss. I had food that was really rough and then meals that were delicious. There seems to be no quality control. The other big issue we experienced was service. Service was the slowest I've ever experienced. It was the part I was looking forward to the most and biggest disappointment. We would often wait 30-40 minutes between courses and the bar would take 5-10 minutes to make really weak drinks. More than once there were only a couple of tables at the restaurant with us yet we'd sit there with empty drink glasses waiting on the next course with the staff just chatting elsewhere for 20+ minutes. The bar tenders and servers didn't seem to want to be there. I was really hoping to be wined and dined (especially for the price tag we paid) and instead I felt like a burden to the staff. I'll think twice before returning to a Sandal's resort.

Kirsty Pope

Spent 3 nights here, recently for business. Some cosmetic upgrades need to be done but on a whole i had a lovely stay. The bea was incredible! The food was delicious. Cocktails were delicious but service at times was slow. Staff were all incredibly busy but helpful and friendly.

Neil Oakden

We had a wonderful vacation at the Sandals Grande St Lucian. The staff at the resort is what made the experience perfect - everyone we interacted with was friendly & focused on providing top notch service. Our butler team (Clines, Mel, and Giselle) was phenomenal. Dive shop team was professional & went out of their way to help us (Kearney, Pamela, Ron & Marcus - the dives were great!). The rest of the experience (room, food, beach, pools, etc) was perfect. Overall one of the best Sandals properties we've been to. Definitely going to revisit Sandals Grande St Lucia again!

Gene Whelan

The food, service, staff, and amenities were excellent. Especially wonderful were the SCUBA and golfing experiences. The SCUBA staff was very professional and friendly. I would strongly recommend any training and certification with the staff. The cost is reasonable, and it is done in a couple of days.

Robin Khariuk

I think Ladera ticks all the boxes when it comes to choosing somewhere to stay in St Lucia. The team of staff are friendly and attentive from the moment you arrive. Rooms or suites, if you can call them that due to the amazing open concept are beautiful and have all you need, and if you want anything else you can just ask. Enjoying you own pool while looking at the stunning scenery of the Pitons is great in the day, but has to be tried during the night to see the array of stars that are visible due to the darkness. If you eat within the resort there is some great food on offer.

Taylor Hebb

Just got back from our honeymoon at Ladera and our only regret is that we didn’t stay there longer! It was gorgeous and so unique! We haven’t stopped talking about it. All the food and drinks were so delicious. Best mango I’ve ever had! 10/10 recommend staying here.. especially for your honeymoon!

Veronica K

An incredible experience from the rooms to the customer service and everything in between. Rooms are beautiful- the views are stunning. All the employees are attentive and helpful! Excursions are well run and the shuttle service is great! Highly recommend staying here

Joan Oneill

Arriving at Ladera Resort in St Lucia felt less like checking in to a resort and more like being welcomed by old friends. Jada, Tenderly, and Sherine greeted us with big smiles and delicious rum punch. A perfect way to kick off our island adventure.As we were shown to our suite we were blown away by the view- those iconic Pitons towering over the sparkling Caribbean Sea and lush rainforest. It really felt like we had stepped in to a postcard. The Heritage suite was cozy blend of luxury and nature with beautiful details made by local artisans. The open wall design let the fresh air and view become part of our stay and little touches like hand carved furniture and colorful mosaic shower gave the room so much character. The canopy bed draped with mosquito netting was super comfortable, and we absolutely fell in love with the heated plunge pool and chair swings. We easily lost touch of time just soaking up the sun island breeze. Each morning we wandered through the resorts pathways and Eustace a longtime staff member took us on a little tour, sharing stories about Ladera history. You could tell how proud he is to be part of the resort and his stories made us appreciate the place even more. Our days were filled with fun like the Sunset fish fry and sneak peek of the Hideaway Rum Bar . We even got treated to a couple of rainbows! But honestly it was the staff who made out stay unforgettable. Everyone was so friendly and genuine, treating us more like family than guests.As we headed home we left with a heart full of gratitude. The beauty of Ladera is undeniable but it’s the warmth and kindness of the people that really made this trip special. We can’t wait to come back. Jo and RM

Kasey Hardin

We absolutely loved Ladera. The staff was impeccable and so friendly! They cared about our entire experience at the island and made us feel really special. The view is unbeatable from everywhere in the resort especially the rooms and the nature walk is really lovely. The restaurant is amazing for all meals. And the yoga classes, the beach service, and all extras are just great. I’ve travelled all over the world to 55+ countries and highly suggest St Lucia and Ladera in all ways!

Rachel Singh

My husband and I came here to celebrate our honeymoon and it was absolutely amazing. Upon arrival, we were greeted by our butler Ali who gave us fresh coconut water with rum. She then gave us a brief tour of the resort so we could know where everything was located throughout our stay. After that she showed us to our room and helped us set up massage appointments (booked through Serenity’s honeymoon registry.) The following day we had a different butler because Ali was off and he helped us set up a couples Private Tour. We got to see some breath-taking views of St. Lucia and visited some of their most popular sites such as the volcano & sulphur springs, diamond waterfalls and the botanical garden. It was a fun day on the island and the transportation service Serenity uses has the most friendly & knowledgeable staff! The next day Ali helped us set up an excursion to do chocolate making at Hotel Chocolat and we had so much fun! Thank you again Ali for taking such good care of us during our stay! I would also like to shout out a few staff members that made our stay at Serenity one for the books. Thank you to Kevin who always made sure we had a drink in hand and brought the vibes! Thank you to Tyler for being the absolute sweetest and going above and beyond to make sure my husband and I were taken care of. Thanks to Jonathan (Coconut guy) for making us some delicious drinks in our coconuts on our last day. And of course a huge thank you to Tracy & Trisha who always kept our room clean and left us adorable notes. With their impeccable staff, amazing food & drinks and the love you feel at this resort, I hope to return soon!

Courtney M

Everything about this stay was incredible. All of the staff here from the butler to the dining staff to the “coconut man” were attentive, kind, and welcoming. Your butler is just a phone call away :) The room here is stunning; there is truly nothing like a private pool and patio. The food was pretty good and having breakfast delivered every day was a convenient perk. We LOVED having dinner each night at the great house which had frequent live music. I can only hope to come back. The only tough part of the stay was the 2 hour wait in line at the airport for customs upon arrival. It was very very hot and crowded. But this has nothing to do with Serenity! Just something for travelers to be aware of!

Kaitlyn Thompson

My husband and I’s trip to St. Lucia was nothing short of spectacular! From the airport being 3-5 minutes away from the resort - to - the moment we pulled up to Serenity greeted by our awesome Butler (McGregor) with a fresh spiked coconut drink! 🧉 And all the memories we made in between during our honeymoon stay was amazing! McGregor was so welcoming & so much fun to have as our butler! We will never forget him. He made sure we were well taken care of during our stay. Provided Tito’s alcohol bottles for my husband & romantic surprises in our room. McGregor really helped us plan our excursions for the week! We did the Sail and Snorkel around the Pitons which was awesome! 🛥️🗾⛰️ Our favorite excursion he recommended was the Escapade (I think is how you spell it) and it was SO much fun! We had a private driver who took us around the island where we got to see the volcano 🌋, have mud baths (DEFINITELY WORTH IT), see the waterfalls & botanical gardens, and stopped at the Chocolate hotel where they make St. Lucia chocolate 🍫 We also rented a beach cabana for the day and it was so relaxing. McGregor provided us a cooler of drinks and made the space relaxing for us. He also picked me up and took me to FlipFlops to get some pizza and then dropped me back off at the cabana! We LOVED our dinners at Serenity’s Greathouse every night. The Chef’s at The Greathouse were AWESOME. Some of the most delicious food that we already miss! We also enjoyed “room service” for breakfast every morning too. But we always looked forward to dinner 😁 Being “gluten free” and Dairy free, they had fresh gluten free breads (so good!) and gluten free pancakes, gluten free French toast, gluten free cake. All of which were amazing! Sorbets were so good for desserts. The homemade sangria drinks for dinner every night were AMAZING. FlipFlops even had a gluten free pizza crust & dairy free (vegan) cheese!! Hard to find resorts with these dietary restriction options! Extra thankful for the options Serenity & Coconut Bay provided since most resorts don’t offer as many yummy options. Our beach couple’s massages were excellent and relaxing too. We also enjoyed hanging out at Harmony (Coconut Bay adults-only area) & relaxing by the ocean. They had beach cabanas that swivel/move so you can lay different directions based on where the sun is at. Such a neat experience!! We also really enjoyed the fitness area since it provided a lot of workout machines! The only recommendations I would have for Serenity is better night life / more things to do at night for couples. Maybe more performances or entertainment or game nights! After 9pm, it was hard to find things to do (unlike a cruise where there’s tons to do!) We would typically go back to our room & hangout in our Plunge Pool or hammock mostly (Apparently, we went during the “slower” months so it wasn’t as busy). But we wish there were more couple’s activities/events after dinner. Hands down, one of the best island trips we’ve ever taken! Our honeymoon felt like a dream come true ♥️

Anessa Roth

Our honeymoon at Serenity was amazing! It was by the far the best resort vacation we've ever been on. The highlight was definitely the staff, who knew our names and treated us like royalty from day 1. Our butler Davidson was a phone call away and checked in on us regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. He set up our schedule for the week, including excursions and dinner reservations, before we even arrived, so we didn't have to make any decisions. Our servers at the Greathouse restaurant were incredible, especially Ginel, who was so friendly and welcoming, and took amazing care of me with my food allergies. If you are gluten free and/or dairy free, you'll have plenty to eat (gluten free bread, pizza with vegan cheese, wraps, burgers, tacos, and even croissants!). Every meal was delicious - not your typical resort food. Ray was at the bar every day and made us amazing drinks. We loved the various nighttime events that the staff put on, from karaoke night to a rum tasting with Caribbean food stations and a fire show! A highlight of our trip was the beach cabana day, part of the Grand Romance package, which we highly recommend. We can't wait to go back!

Steve Santore

This was an amazing resort, with friendly staff, beautiful grounds, and excellent food. They do a great job of incorporating the local cuisine into their menus so you get the island flavors, and you don’t feel like you’re getting the tourist treatment. We stayed for a week so a few excursions & upgrades were included, and they were all awesome! Special shout out to Nerv’s, the driving/tour guide company they use - they do an excellent job! Being located close to the international airport is a huge plus, and being able to access all the amenities at their adjacent sister property is a nice bonus too - be sure to check out the Jerk Treehouse for lunch! We stayed near the end of their summer season, so less than half the rooms were booked, but it made for a nice visit since it was a bit quieter, yet everything was still open and available to us, so we still got the full experience. We had never been to St. Lucia before, but absolutely loved it and would highly recommend Serenity to anyone considering a visit!

Sophia Drozdowska

The worst service we’ve ever experienced by a hotel. We booked this trip for a relaxing week away, persuaded by the description of tranquil relaxation. When we arrived, we were greeted by a wedding party - a wedding at the venue had never been disclosed to us - who was celebrating there 3 nights out of our stay. Certain areas of the hotel were being used exclusively by the party, music would be loud and go late, and guests were drunkenly threatening other hotel guests - it totally changed the atmosphere from what we were expecting. When we couldn’t handle the noise anymore, we requested to be moved to the sister location (20 minutes away) and were told we could only do so by paying an additional $700+ per night. The alternative was to move 3 doors down, the night after wedding festivities ended - which did not solve the problem. We were told this was their final offer, and despite us and many other guests requesting a resolution, were dismissed. We then requested a complaint contact and were told that because we booked directly, the concierge was the only person we could speak to. If you’re choosing between stolen time and body holiday, book body holiday. However if you’re considering other hotels, I’d recommend going that route, given the lack or care and consideration they have for their guests.

David & Polly Evennett

This is quite a remarkable hotel.Small and personal . A return to hotel ! They dont do "service" they do care to make the holiday wonderfully memorable. The staff are all exceptional, so willing to please everywhere from the ground workers , bar staff, chefs, kitchen helpers, waitresses, water sports and event/activity teams, spa and treatments, to the top managers themselves. Rooms are fabulous, food is quite superb, pools lovely and warm, sea is so warm too.What more does anyone want !

Hannah Carleton

We spent 2 weeks at Stolen Time in early May. It is the first time we have ever stayed at an all inclusive resort or a resort of any kind. We usually opt for 5* Hotels so quite a change for us. We were not dissapointed, within a day we had both relaxed and were in full Holiday switch off mode! The resort is beautiful, all the staff are fantastic, food was lovely and the beach absolutley perfect. As others have said the resort is quiet, but that is what we wanted so perfect. The [ools are lovely for a good swim but for me it was the beach and perfect sea that was the winner. We hired a car for 4 days to explore the island and explored the beautiful rain forest. We will return!!!

Sal Rizza

Our stay at Stolen Time by Rendezvous Resort in St. Lucia was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in the warm and welcoming atmosphere of this tropical paradise. The service at the resort is truly five-star, with every member of the staff going above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. The staff were absolutely brilliant—attentive, friendly, and always ready with a smile. They anticipated our every need, making us feel incredibly pampered throughout our visit. Whether it was arranging a romantic dinner on the beach, providing expert recommendations for local excursions, or simply ensuring our room was immaculate, their dedication to exceptional service was evident in every interaction. The island of St. Lucia itself is breathtakingly beautiful. The lush, verdant landscapes, crystal-clear waters, and pristine beaches make it a true paradise. Each day, we discovered something new and wonderful, from the stunning Pitons to the vibrant marine life while snorkeling. The resort's location allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the natural beauty and charm of this Caribbean gem. Stolen Time by Rendezvous is the perfect blend of luxury and relaxation. The exquisite dining options, luxurious accommodations, and array of activities available made every moment of our stay unforgettable. We left feeling rejuvenated, grateful, and already dreaming of our next visit. If you're looking for a place to unwind, reconnect, and experience the best that the Caribbean has to offer, look no further than Stolen Time by Rendezvous Resort in St. Lucia. It truly is a slice of paradise.

Charlotte Earnshaw

The hotel is out of this world incredible! The staff are constantly offering a beverage, snack, cool towel or activity. They are friendly and communicative and generally the atmosphere is very chilled and happy. The water sports on offer are fantastic and there is a range of additional excursions that can be purchased and arranged by the hotel. The direct access to the beach is perfect and the sea is beautiful and warm. The resort is fairly small which gives it a relaxing intimate feel. No one rushes to reserve a table or fights you for sun loungers and towels (as has been my preconceived view of all inclusive hotels). Rendezvous is the perfect size resort for us on honeymoon with an intimate and luxury feel. Our room was small and practical but the balcony with a view across the gardens to the sea was absolutely amazing! We loved staying in this tropical paradise for 7 nights and would have stayed forever if we could! Beautiful location, the staff made the experience exceptional.
