Rendezvous

Again a cruise stop, so we only had the day. We got a day pass here and while it was expensive it was perfect. Drinks, facilities, beach, dining, bartenders, servers and administrative staff were all great. There is nothing that I can complain about. It was all inclusive for drinks, dining and facilities. Great day in St Lucia. Its not always offered, but we will try to come back next time we are on this beautiful island.

We recently got married at the Rendezvous. Wow! It was everything and more!! Sandra our wedding planner was excellent very professional and made sure there was a smooth transition of the days events. The staff are friendly and extremely attentive and very helpful. Frances, Michelle, Jacintha, Giselle, Tamara, Chris, Alonso, there are so many more. The food was fantastic! Lucinda we miss your cooking! We have had all inclusive before but nothing compares to the food at Rendezvous. Malabar beach restaurant and the Trysting the food was also great. We had the most amazing wonderful time thank you for making our wedding a momentous occasion. Overall the hotel, beach and gardens are beautiful, a hidden gem! We can not wait to return for our honeymoon/anniversary.

We stayed at the hotel the first week in June. We were so excited after reading all the positive reviews and were expecting a first class hotel advertised at 4.5 5*. Unfortunately for us it didn't meet our expectations. We have stayed at lots of lovely 5* around the world so maybe had high expectations! I will start with the positives the staff are so lovely and friendly and always happy to help! Lunch and dinner food choices are to a good standard. The first room we were shown to was a Garden view room this was very small and the furniture was tired and worn with lots of scratches on we felt we had no option but to upgrade. We had to pay £420 to upgrade for the eight nights. We chose a Verandah room which had a lot more space and a little more modern. Unfortunately the cleanliness in the room wasn't what you'd expect please see photos below. The room also smelt musky for the duration of our stay. I have read a previous review when someone had complained about the same room. We did get get 50% of the cost of the upgrade back when we sent an email of complaint when we returned. We have never been served drinks in plastic disposable cups at any five star hotel this happened for the first three days on the beach at Rendezvous. The gardens are spa pool are really lovely but unfortunately this was consistent through the resort as we thought other parts looked in need of upgrading/modernising. We spent four days at The Body Hotel which is their sister hotel. It's fabulous a real 5* hotel. The service, food and activity choices leave Rendezvous standing! You can spend the day at a cost of £45 for a taxi. This was the first Holiday we had that we weren't inspired to take any pictures something I always do on a holiday! We have never had to write a negative review but we just felt we should share out honest view of the hotel.

Had a great honeymoon in October 2016. Stayed in a new suite and it was perfect. The staff are amazing and they can't do enough. All the pools are clean and there is always a space around one of them. The beach is nice too. The food is unreal and the BBQ on the beach is a must. Get there early and you will get a table on the beach itself. I wouldn't hesitate to go again.

We spent 8 days in a superior garden suite which was lovely. The level of attention and friendliness from the team there was as good as anywhere I've stayed. The water sports (sailing) are great and the food is brilliant. If you like to stay relaxed and not to wear long trousers then eat at the beach as much as possible and then on the terrace for Caribbean and BBQ nights. The service on the beach and at the bars is really good and the choice of wines and spirits is also excellent. If I was to change anything then I would have asked not to be on the ground floor but that is being really picky. We loved it
