BodyHoliday St. Lucia

We just returned from another magical stay at The Body Holiday. It was my 6th trip and my Husband's 4th. Every moment was perfect from the cool welcoming towels at the airport to the transport when we left. When scheduling the trip, we stated that we were celebrating my Husband's 75th birthday and our 45th Wedding Anniversary. Upon arrival to our Ocean Front Room, we were greeted by flowers, fruit, a stocked refrigerator, and luscious chocolate mini-cakes. We were delighted to note some improvements on the Well-Fit Trail and golfing area. A real surprise was the new Reef Deck replacing the Hibiscus Deck over the water. What an incredible spot for classes and quiet reflection. As always, the food and drinks were outstanding. A typical day would start with an early morning Tai-Chi Class followed by breakfast at Cariblue. A hurried climb up the stairs for a stretch class or workout in the gym. Next, one of our favorite parts of the day---the spa treatment. If possible, add on a massage with warm stones, it is life altering. Then time for lunch, either at Cariblue or the Wellness Cafe. Afternoons were filled with a Hobie Cat ride, an Aqua-Fit Class, practicing golf, or just relaxing on the beach. Of course, there is afternoon Tea to replace those calories you used exercising. All of our dinners were excellent from the grilled fish at Cariblue to the Peking Duck at Tao. We loved dancing off those calories at the Pavillion's evening entertainment. The final end to a perfect day was a Bailey's at the Piano Bar. As always, the most notable part of our stay was the staff. Everyone, and we mean everyone were welcoming and helpful. It is especially noteworthy that several of the staff members recognized us from prior visits. Their smiling "welcome backs" add that something special to the experience. We are already looking forward to our next stay. Hmmmmm--maybe two trips: one to celebrate 70th birthdays with my lady friends and another romantic week with my husband. I urge you to book a trip immediately and you will soon join the ranks of those who return again and again and again to The Body Holiday.

*Trip was June 2023* Spent a relaxing 7 nights as a solo traveller at this beautiful resort. Location was stunning, and value for money was incredible considering the daily treatments and world class dining (All included). Only recommendation was for more night entertainment options, although really enjoyed the piano bar.

What an exceptional experience. The staff are over the top. Food was amazing. I can say enough about this place. I will definitely be going back.

We have been visiting the resort for 30 plus years & this was visit number 48. Great care is taken to help individual guests & on this occasion after an awful virus I had which impaired my mobility the manageress Yhasmine arranged for us a room on the ground floor as I was experiencing difficulty climbing & descending stairs & Yhasmine she also arranged transport to the Oasis wellness centre for daily treatments, which was vital for me to enjoy my stay. Yhasmine & her staff provide an excellent service throughout the complex. The food at the resort is very good with a great variety of choice & good service. We ate several times in Windows & the food was exceptional together good service with Britney's staff & a special mention for James. Furthermore Tao once again excelled with Anna & her staff exceeding all expectations. During lunch we often took a snack at the Deli where Levon provides a variety of good food & service. The treatments at the Oasis were as usual very good. Also we enjoyed 2 Sunset Cruises on Fridays. We will definitely return.

We went here on a mother/daughter trip for 5 nights from the U.S. Really enjoyed our trip - there’s so much to do, or you can just relax. All-inclusive food and drink were very good. We did opt for the additional charge I-Tal garden tour and restaurant one night; the views were stunning, but the food was all right but not completely worth the $180 charge. We also opted for the private transfer from the airport with expedited immigration escorted service - that was *completely* worth the extra charge. The expedited escort through immigration allowed us to skip the line and get our passports stamped and get on our way. It is about a 90-minute drive from the airport to the resort through very windy and narrow mountain roads. The resort had a mostly British middle-aged clientele while we were there. Quiet and reasonable guests who were there to relax, not a loud party atmosphere. No children under age 12, and in fact we didn’t see anyone younger than early 20’s. We never waited for a lounge chair at the beach or pool, and no waits for seating at the restaurant. You get one spa treatment included per day, a plethora of fitness classes, and food and drink anytime. I’d like to recognize great service from Melissa in the Scuba/Snorkel tour activities. She was so friendly and gave us a great guided snorkel of the Pitons (extra charge for that excursion.) I’d like to go back.
