The Best All Inclusive Resorts in Saint Lucia (2023)

Hideaway at Royalton All Inclusive Saint Lucia is the swanky adults only section of the huge Royalton St. Lucia resort complex. Guests here have access to the myriad facilities of the broader resort along with Hideaway’s exclusive facilities – a very nice infinity pool, section of private beach, restaurant and bar. The Royalton is part of the Marriott hotel group’s foray into the all inclusive market and you’ll find standards very high on all fronts. Accommodation: Standards at the Hideaway are particularly high on the accommodation front, more so than The Royalton resort in general. Their entry level accommodation is the Junior Suite, some of them swim up with semi-private pools. At 600 sq ft they are spacious and come with seating areas/work areas, sofa beds, balconies or terraces and beautiful bathrooms. Then your choices go straight to the Presidential Suite and Penthouse level which might be some of the best accommodation on St. Lucia. They share the same amenities as the Junior Suites, though some also come with jacuzzis, but they are larger obviously, more than double the size in fact. They also come with the best views. All the accommodation is kitted out with the best of modern amenities: bluetooth sound systems, smart TVs, Royalton’s signature DreamBeds, minibars, coffee makers, aromatherapy menus, and in the opulent bathrooms: bathtubs, double sinks, rainfall showers and luxury bath products. The accommodation also has a choice of Diamond Club or not. Going for the upgrade allows access to VIP lounges, pools, a section of beach (and beach bar), and enhanced room service including the services of a butler for the duration of your stay. Prices: Check out all the price details on tat Booking.com here, at Expedia.com here or on the Marriott website here.  Food, Facilities & Things to Do: This is a luxury all inclusive and the food here is excellent. As mentioned guests at the Hideaway have access to all venues of Royalton Saint Lucia, all but one a la carte, and, very happily, none of them require reservations. These include Armadillo which serves Tex-Mex, Marché the all day buffet restaurant. Zen does Japanese sushi and teppanyaki. Grazie is an READ MORE

The all inclusive, adults only, Sandals Grande St. Lucian is another solidly good Sandals resort with a range of accommodation from top of the range overwater bungalows to decent value more basic suites. The overwater bungalows, the only ones on St. Lucia and one of just a few in the entire Caribbean, take center stage here. They are a honeymoon favorite and, with only nine of them, they get booked up long before the other suites and rooms. The service throughout this resort is excellent: professional but personable. Their food and drink are of the highest order and there is a great range of all inclusive activities on offer. Accommodation: They have a nice range of accommodation at the resort from, at the top of the price range, the Overwater Bungalows, Beach and Presidential Suites to a number of very good value lower level suites. Their gorgeous overwater bungalows are very special of course but also, despite their price, incredibly popular. If you’re interested and you see one free for your dates you’d be wise to book it immediately. We like the beach suites a lot too though. They might not have the same novelty value but they are pretty special in their own right. They are just steps from the beach but nicely positioned to feel private and relatively secluded. Lower down the scale you can, depending on your dates, you can find some very good value at Sandals St Lucian. Even their lowest level of suite seem pretty indulgent. All will be spacious and airy and come with hardwood floors, comfortable king-size beds, large smart TVs and generously stocked free mini bar etc. etc. Some suites have large, spa style bathrooms with soaking tubs for two. You’ll have 24 hour room service, and in some suites you have the services of a personal butler. Prices: Check out all price details at the Sandals website here, at Booking.com here and at Expedia here. Food, Facilities & Things to Do: Sandals Grande St. Lucian has twelve restaurants and bars which include a British style pub and a very lively swim-up pool bar. Check them all out here.
