Bay Gardens Beach Resort - St. Lucia

Our new favorite "affordable" resort in St. Lucia is the Bay Gardens Beach Resort. We love the decor and the finishing touches. The staff is very eager to improve in any areas requiring attention.

Located on the beach at Rodney Bay, this resort offers great restaurants within walking distance, terrific service, and every modern convenience. Each room is equipped with internet service at no extra charge.

Water Feature Experience: (Personal Observation) Although the designers of this great resort have excellent taste, not all of the bugs in the rooms have been worked out. The funniest experience we have had with water took place at this resort both times we stayed there. In the combination bath tub/shower is a pole on the wall with every conceivable water feature one could desire. The problem is that there are no instructions on how to use the shower. So there you stand, without a stitch of clothing for protection, facing the pole. As you turn on the shower water shoots out at you with great force. Hardly any of the water stays in the tub but rather fires across the spacious bathroom to the door which is in line with the tub. As you finally get the "shower pole" under control, you realize the only thing you can do is take a plain old ordinary shower with a boring drizzle from a little bit higher than your shoulders. What a waste of a great feature to miss out on the show massage and its accompanying nozzles that squirt water in fascinating angles. Oh well, perhaps soon each room will come with an instruction manual for the shower.
