St Lucia

The key to their success which is important to me is the staff who bend over backwards to accommodate our wishes. I congratulate the management for selecting the staff with character, dignity and enthusiasam to represent Sandals..

We had a nice two week holiday at this resort!

I chose Body Holiday St. Lucia as my fist solo vacation (my husband can no longer travel). I was one of the few “first timers” at the resort; I met people of all ages and most were repeat visitors (4 - 17 times!). It was easy to understand why - the resort is stunning, with a gorgeous beach, club house area, and several choices/options for delicious meals/snacks/drinks.The spa is lovely - very calming/restful and the fitness facilities, indoor and outside, are well equipped/maintained. My room had a garden view; it was clean, quiet and well situated within the resort. Although it is a Health and Wellness resort it is the visitors vacation - do as much or as little as you want! My all-inclusive package included any amount of fitness choices/water activities plus treatments (facial, scrubs, massages). At times there was entertainment on the beach or in the Clubhouse. And I felt safe. The staff were all professional and friendly; the trainers knowledgeable, helpful, and supportive. The motto “give us your body for a week and we will give you back your mind” is fitting but the next time I would plan a stay of at least 9 nights. For anyone planning an all-inclusive Health and Wellness vacation I would definitely recommend Body Holiday St. Lucia.

Beautiful island with great excursions The vibe team is great and getting crowd engaged

Stayed 03/07/16 to 03/14/16 in Junior Executive suite. Great spacious room with kitchenette (microwave, kettle, coffee pot, toaster,mini fridge, dishes and cutlery). Friendly staff, attentive (some would call you by name after a few days). Close to down town. Shuttle service hourly to sister resort with beach and other activities. Have stayed with this hotel before and would return. Good holiday.

Nice Quiet small resort with great service but could use more restaurant choices and a few upgrades for a Sandals (4 star /not 5 star )

Great vacation for couples, honeymooners or adults

Good location, staff friendly and helpful. No Mosquioes. Our second time at this facility but our fifth time at the sister facilities. Shuttle service to the other sister facilities was good.

Spent a week at Coco Palms after reading the very positive reviews. Overall, it didn't live up to its billing. On the positive side, the people who worked at the hotel, and St Lucians in general, were genuinely warm, friendly and welcoming. The cost was affordable ($1300 CAN per person including taxes, all inclusive, from Toronto), the room reasonably maintained (but outdated, on the small side, no balcony), the housekeeping staff did a good job, and the air conditioning was effective and quiet. However, it's a small hotel with cramped grounds located within a town. If you're looking for a beach vacation this may not be the place - the hotel is not on the beach. To get to it we either had to walk 10-15 minutes through the town, or take a more direct 5-10 minute walk down a very unpleasant, garbage strewn road bordered on one side with a high, concrete wall, topped with barbed wire and cemented in broken glass, and covered in graffiti, some of it obscenity laced. The beach itself is clean, coral sand with clear water, about 1 km long and scenically located within a bay. Unfortunately, there's not a stick of shade and the hotel provides no beach chairs or beach umbrellas. About a third of the beach dominated by a closed, boarded up, 70s style resort, complete with over grown shrubs, weeds, and empty swimming pools. We were told it closed about 10 years ago. It lends a sad, dilapidated air to a large portion of the beach. Coco Palms has a swimming pool, a little greenish tinged but surrounded by pretty shrubs and flowering plants. During our week it was a magnet for lots of boisterous children - not surprising - it's only 4 ft deep. We went all inclusive but it's not buffet style (except for breakfast). You must be seated by a server and can order from a limited menu (some items extra) - the meals were good, especially the seafood, but we exhausted the menu by about day 5. Juices are from a can, and little fresh local fruit, except for bananas. We're still puzzled by the consistently positive reviews. Most of the hotel's customers were from St Lucia, other nearby islands, the UK and Europe. Perhaps they don't have the variety of affordable choices that we're fortunate to have when traveling out of Toronto, but for us, there are many places in the Caribbean that offer better value.
