For clients looking for a St. Lucia Resort, Bay Gardens Beach Resort & Spa, consistently ranked as one of the island’s best luxury resorts, is a great option.
The property is located in Rodney Bay Village, the heart of the island’s entertainment district, and is one of three Bay Gardens properties in the area, joining Bay Gardens Hotel and Bay Gardens Inn.
Rooms range from the Deluxe Garden View rooms, which sleep four and sit near the main lobby area and include a private furnished patio area, to the Deluxe Pool View rooms, which are located around the resort’s lagoon-style pool.

The resort also offers one-bedroom, beach-front suites that includes a separate living room and bedroom, full kitchen, dining area, and a private furnished patio. The big selling point of the suite, which can sleep up to four guests, is access directly to Reduit Beach, one of St. Lucia’s most beloved beaches located right in front of the hotel.
The property also offers a number of different dining venues including Hi-Tide, a beachside restaurant that serves food all day. Hi-Tide’s offerings include a kid’s menu and a separate pizza menu.
Spices Restaurant is also on property, offering a menu of Caribbean and West Indian Cuisine. Spices offers an all-day menu with entrees, pasta, sandwiches, soups, and salads, along with separate menus for breakfast and dinner, along with a Cinnamon Bar Cocktails menu.
There’s also the SeaGrapes Beach Bar & Grill, which sports a “barefoot on the beach vibe” and offers guests a menu of local favorites, including a rabbit and lobster roulade entrée, paired with views of Pigeon Island National Landmark.
While guests can charge meals directly to their rooms, Bay Gardens also offers four different meal packages that can be added to a reservation—all-inclusive, which includes all meals and beverages (including alcohol) along with daily spa treatments; all-inclusive drinks only, which includes breakfast and all alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages; MAP, which provides breakfast and dinner; and breakfast, which includes full breakfast.
For activities, guests can take advantage of two different gyms onsite and unlimited access to Splash Island Water Park, which features trampolines, climbing walls, slides, swings, and more.
There’s also a full-service space and wellness center, which offers everything from yoga to stress relief classes.
The property is also located close to a number of local tourist landmarks, including the Pigeon Island National Landmark, along with Baywalk Shopping Mall, Rodney Bay Marina, Petit Piton, Gros Piton, Sulphur Springs, and more.
Bay Gardens also provides a complimentary shuttle to its other two resorts, which gives guests the option to get off their property and see what else the brand has to offer in Rodney Bay.
