Bay Gardens Beach Resort & Spa

St Lucia


An excellent choice if you prefer a full-service resort, the BGBR has an idyllic beachfront location. Rooms are in three-story buildings designed with a neoclassical flair; many overlook the large cloverleaf pool or the beach and most have been decked out with bright new furnishings. The suites have functional kitchens, making them a great choice for families.

Some packages offer free unlimited access to the inflatable water park moored just offshore, which is hugely popular with young travelers.
