Hotel Rendezvous (Castries, Saint Lucia)

Are you looking to get away from it all? Whether you’re a young, fresh couple or have been married for twenty plus years, the Rendezvous Resort offers an amazing opportunity to escape the daily grind. You can bask in the sun, walk the beaches and—during the right time of year—may feel like you’re on your own private island.

If you’re looking to enjoy a relaxing adults-only holiday without having to worry about being squeezed for every quid, try one of the hotel’s package deals. Instead of worrying about which little fees will show up where and when, you’ll already be set for drinks, dining and activities.

Although there are dozens of fun eateries in nearby St. Lucia, the Rendezvous Resort also offers a sizeable variety of dining options. Choose from a casual buffet at the Terrace Restaurant or a formal, gourmet meal at Trysting Place. You’ll also have plenty of libation options, including a poolside bar.

With several dining options, the resort does provide a solid selection for resort-goers. Casual diners will appreciate the Terrace buffet during the day. However, be prepared to dress up, as evenings at both restaurants are formal dress only—which could be rough at an open air buffet when temperatures hit 90 degrees.

Although no fault of the hotel’s, those seeking a truly adults only holiday may be disappointed on the weekends, because the public beaches often transform from serene places into a carnival of screeching children, raucous parties and loud music.

If you’re accustomed to catching up on the day’s events or doing a little creative channel surfing, you’ll be out of luck at the Rendezvous Resort. Unfortunately, rooms at the hotel don’t have televisions. But, since you’re staying in paradise, TV should be the last thing on your mind. Wi-Fi access is available, for those seeking some connectivity.
