Rendezvous

Booked thru Costco so we had airport transfer through Solar included. Both ways we were in a newer 9 passenger van- they provided water and drive was better than expected (65 minutes) not as bad as Montego Bay to Negril in Jamaica, where we usually go.no lobby/front desk at this resort- concierge folks come up and meet you- very personalized. The staff at This place is beyond great from start to finish. Activities team, water sports team, concierge, housekeeping, security, food and beverage, bartenders, and groundskeeping- I literally can not say enough about how excellent each person is at their job. Pristinely kept grounds, rooms, and common areas. Beach, chairs, umbrellas and gazebos are all cared for multiple times a day. Towel service and chair availability are perfect. The security staff gets to know “their guests” and keeps an eye out for everyone while still being kind and helpful and amazing to all visitors on this public beach where there were many visitors during the holiday season- which was fine and lovely. Horses from stable a few feet outside the gates go by often ($ to ride) are beautiful and well loved/ cared for. The yoga, tai chi, exercise classes were so good and plentiful- instructors were very attentive and hands on with permission to correct which I appreciate. Scuba instructor was a patient saint, staff was top notch, and water sports staff and equipment in general were better than anywhere else I have been.Walk to lighthouse(5k round trip) was great and offered nice view and good workout. Beverages were so good, including non alcoholic mixed drinks and we noticed many people enjoying them and Heineken zero-Healthy options, local juices, etc were great. I loved going to champagne hour every night and sitting on the swing under the big tree enjoying a glass- the piano player is also great if you stay in the gorgeous champagne bar but I don’t like air conditioning so we did not stay in too long. Food at each of 3 restaurants was quite good and varied over our 8 night stay. I had the daily catch most days and one day it was good, every other day it was exceptional. The resort is small with 100 rooms but so charming- our beachfront veranda room was perfect- we hung out on the veranda in the double chair and large hammock a lot-literally steps from the beach and room key card worked on the veranda door and the front” door- convenient.. Amazing sunset views from veranda. During the day there is beach beverage service on this beach where we received water, juice, fruit skewers, popsicles, and drink service from the top notch staff(Shanaya and Anna) quiet/spa poolside later in the day and near lazy river also had attentive beverage service(Tandisha)Percy with security literally knew everything that was going on on the beach- amazing sweet security staff all around. We mostly worked with Denzil, Miquel, Karen (amazing activities folks!) and Lincoln and Romerus and everyone on the scuba boat and water sports- just so great careful and patient. The concierge had to handle a lot while we were there due to some air traffic shutdowns but they were unbelievable and calm and so professional and kind to everyone. Vanessa and Joelle took care of us so well. Oh and when it comes to massage- wow. Next level- I was blown away by the deep tissue therapy I received from Leona. We will 100% return to this resort. Because of the staff and the gorgeous pristine place. Love everything about it, and can’t wait to return to experience even more!( apologies for any staff names mis-spelled)

Had a fabulous time for our first visit to Stolen Time and St Lucia. Already looking to return. Couldn’t fault anything and a great way to see in the new year :)

Small boutique all inclusive with nice beach, stellar service and great Food. We will definitely return for a relaxing reset in the future. Lush gardens, relaxing pool and spectacular spa. Special thanks to Tanisha, Glenn for making the stay that much more pleasurable.

We had a great stay at Stolen Time. The staff were superb, the location excellent, the room was fantastic and the food was 1st class. Overall a very good experience and would recommend to others.

My husband and I ended up staying at Stolen Time for 8 days (Nov 28th - Dec 6th) to celebrate my birthday. (This was a last minute change of plans after our annual Jamaica trip was cancelled due to Hurricane Melissa). We absolutely loved our stay and had a great vacation. Pros- - Amazing Staff (seriously, from security, grounds crew, waitstaff, bartenders, sports team, room attendants etc. EVERYONE was so friendly and welcoming) - Great food and good variety (love that the Thyme and Malabar restaurant menus changed every few days and reservations were easy to get for both. Beach BBQ and West Indies buffet delightful. Dinner service was fantastic, great pacing, probably the best of anywhere we’ve been) - Drinks were tasty (Good wine selection for both included and manager’s wine list) - Grounds are STUNNING, lush and romantic - Nightly Entertainment was a good mix (and we LOVED Champagne hour!) - Lots of Activities daily 7:15am-5pm (Including motorized water sports) - Nice, clean, spacious rooms (We stayed in a Premium Verandah. Loved the soaking tub and large, spacious balcony) - Nice Beach for swimming and lounging (and great beach service! We loved the fresh fruit, popsicles or fresh coconut water daily). - Pools - 3 total. Swim up Beach, Spa Pool (w/ Jacuzzi) and Lazy River pool (great for cooling off in the afternoon) - Fishing directly off the beach (if you bring your own gear and are experienced). My husband was quite successful and shared his catch with the locals and resort staff Cons- - Noise: There’s nowhere to really hide from it. Hopefully, the resort does some kind of noise reduction efforts. Late night and very early morning are the worst. (There’s some type of bar/nightclub close by and no noise ordinance, you can basically feel the bass shaking starting some nights at 10:30pm and going well into the morning. Being there, unknowingly, during election season likely made it worse, but in any case - bring a white noise machine or plan to play iPad/music on max to drown it out (or hope for overnight rain). Would normally suggest switching to the beachfront rooms away from the road but then you’re just closer to the rooster and barking dogs constantly from 3:30-4:30am… - Horses & Dogs (watch your step, use feet cleaning stations religiously). This is common at a lot of popular Caribbean beaches, but there were A LOT more horses than we typically experience. Horse bros were also the only aggressive/rude vendors on the beach. This is outside of the resorts control but something to be aware of. - Our biggest issue (and only issue with the resort itself) was concierge: Communication was good and responsive prior to arriving via email, but once on-site it was probably the worst we’ve experienced anywhere. You need to hold their hands for any special occasion. Activities weren’t properly posted, miscommunication with spa scheduling, a couple other issues but at least restaurant reservations were easy. Neutral/Side notes: Proximity to Excursions: all of the best tourist attractions are far/long commutes to get there, pleas keep in mind if you have bad motion sickness like me. It wasn’t a surprise for us since we knew going in, but if you like to do a lot of excursions, you’d likely prefer to stay closer to them. We ended up not leaving the resort besides exploring the Castries by foot. (Speaking of which - book with JoJo’s on the beach if you do want to go on an excursion, couldn’t say enough nice things about their on site Rep Kyle. Would have booked with him if excursions were closer) Proximity to Cruise Port: It’s the closest beach for cruise ship passengers. Locals: A lot of folks complain about the locals using the beach on weekends, but we actually enjoyed swimming and chatting with them. We found the vast majority of people to be warm and friendly. Swam with one gentleman whose brother happened attended my Alma Mater - it’s such a large, small world! Close proximity to the regional airport (SLU): it was amazingly smooth and quick for Helicopter transport arrival and departure. You will hear some planes taking off but they’re mostly regional, and not a problem noise-wise. Final thoughts: We loved everything about the resort itself (issues with concierge aside) and will definitely return someday and would recommend it to others.
