Last week, I visited the Island of St. Lucia. This was not my first trip to this Island. St. Lucia is located in the eastern Caribbean.
The official language is English. They got their independence from the United Kingdom just in 1979. The currency is the Eastern Caribbean dollar. They give you about $2.6 EC per $1.00 US dollars. It's a beautiful island. There is a lot of greenery everywhere you look.
There are mountains, amazing beaches, great weather (some times a little too hot for my taste), fantastic waterfalls, a dormant volcano, and the most amazing views you can imagine. Every year, they celebrate with a lot of passion their carnival and become the center of the music world during the month of May with the already well known Jazz Festival.
I got to stay at the Bay Gardens Beach Resort. It's a comfortable hotel right next to the water. Its located at Romney Bay, just outside Castries, the capital city. This resort have a great pool and two restaurants. One is more of a casual dinning (food not that great) and the other one is a more elegant place with great service and a fantastic fusion of tastes on their menu. Hotels and food is on the expensive side. They have a lot of nice restaurants with great food. in this Island. The off season for the hotel industry is during the months of May thru September. During those months is when you can find some good deals. Even though people are friendly, they are not service oriented at all. Sometimes that, combine with a laid back attitude can become a little upsetting and frustrating.
