Stunning St Lucia

Rachel Gulliford on 10 May 1998
I have some of the fondest memories of St Lucia over any other destination I have visited. I find it so magical and very different to other Caribbean Islands.

I stayed at the Rex Papillon on All Inclusive and it was just amazing. Everything you could want is at the property but the choice of excursions you have on this island are brilliant.

I went on a catamaran cruise one day and saw dolphins swimming up beside the boat. Another day I went to Castries when the market was on, very interesting! I then went to the Sulphur springs and the botanical gardens which were just breathtaking.

The Island itself is so lush with vegetation and so mountainous that it just has the most amazing feel about it. On top of what I mentioned above you can also do rainforest walks which I have heard are excellent. The choice of accommodation here is one of the best as well, there is so much choice and each resort is in its own area making each special in their own way.

I will definitely be returning here one day for another truly amazing holiday. (An excellent honeymoon destination and can tie it in with New York!)
