03/18/2004 | St. Lucia has a lot of natural attractions. The beaches aren't anything out of this world, especially compared to some that you'll find in the Bahamas, Cuba and Hispaniola. But still it makes up for it in natural attractions. You've got to see the Piton's, two moutains which go straight from the sea up to 2,000 feet, the world's only drive in volcano, which smells a lot like sulfur to me, probably because it's still active. Interesting that you can drive straight into the active area. Maginot Bay is one of the nicest inlets in the Caribbean, got to see this. Lots of waterfalls and interesting hiking. The capital of Castries is nothing really special. See the countryside to get a vantage point of the island. If beaches are what you're looking for, go elsewhere.

01/01/2004 | My wife and I stayed at Club St. Lucia. Great value. Excellent food. Nice beach with three pools on the property.
However, Scuba St. Lucia plays a trick on divers and makes a last minute requirement (once you are on the boat) that you make a shore dive on your first day with them (to check you out) and only then on successive days can you make dives with them. Also read the disclaimer contract carefully, they admit to being negligent (and ask that you excuse them).

07/03/2003 | My wife and I loved St. Lucia, it was not too expensive and the people are very nice. You'll have your typical solicitors here and there, but they're not as pushy as they are in Jamaica or Martinique.
