The flagship of the three Saint Lucia properties, set on a peninsula at Rodney Bay with Pigeon Island National Park walkable from the resort. The bay is calm and genuinely swimmable, and snorkelling straight off the beach near the pier turns up fish and coral. For divers the practical advantage over its two sister resorts is the resort's own dock — dive and snorkel boats leave from the property rather than requiring a shuttle to the marina. Its nine Over-the-Water Honeymoon Butler Bungalows were the first overwater accommodation in Saint Lucia, with glass floor panels and ladder access to the water; there is an overwater chapel too. Twelve restaurants on site and seven bars including swim-up. Rooms start around $400 per person per night, with overwater bungalows from roughly $1,100.
