  What a gem! Our fourth visit to the island but our first and definitely not last visit to East Winds.
We stayed 11 nights Sept/Oct and had an amazing time,... read more even though Hurricane Ian messed with the weather a bit. The warmth of all the staff at East Winds made up for a little bit of rain.
This is a really intimate resort, where staff know your name almost immediately. The rooms and gardens are lovely and well kept. Excellent service in the bars and restaurant from Jay, Mickel, Windel & Miriam. First class dining and chef happy to accommodate changes to menu if necessary.
Joe on the water sports is also fantastic and always on hand to assist. Be sure to give yoga with Jill a go as well. She managed to get us 2 old crocs flexing our bodies in ways we really didn't think possible!
Thank you, East Winds, we hope to see you again soon. More

The staff were without exception amazing warm and friendly endlessly polite and helpful. First name terms from first meal to last and cocktails in between. Special mention to Miriam and the two main bar lads J & M who looked after us so well. Good food wine and spirits and all included in the package.

Initially, I didn’t like the idea of going outside to make coffee but I grew to love the peace of the morning snd watching the birds. The gardens are beautiful and well worth walking around with Sylvanus, such a font of knowledge. I also did a nature walk with Simeon which was great if a little wet! Food and drinks are of exceptional quality with evening meal tasting menus and wine pairing. Chef Harry and Chef Linton do amazing meals and the cooking class is also good fun. Service is second to none snd it is hard to single people out but Silvia and Windel work very hard and laugh contagiously behind the bar. Miriam, Septima and Curlene always welcome you at breakfast and lunch and never forget your name of your dietary preferences. I did a few tours via Simeon - always good vibes and good value. I know we will return just not sure how soon but hopefully in the not too distant future. More

Judith, Manager - it was so good to finally meet you Judith and to see what an amazing job you have done on the renovations in 2017 of East Winds. Also keeping the resort as it was with it's timeless ambience, wonderful staff (many of whom we have met in the past) and the wonderful Caribbean vibe that continues to make this resort such an intimate and relaxing place to stay.

ReceptIon: a big thank you to Charms, Jennell, Lily and and all the team for assisting us in settling in and anything we required.

Restaurant and Bar: Thank you to Titus, Elie, Miriam, Selina, Robert and all the restaurant staff for taking such good care of us. Thank you to Germaine, Trevor and all the breakfast and lunch team chefs for providing the most amazing pancakes and omlettes, also an exceptional cooked breakfast. The daily therapy juices and smoothies were fantastic. Thank you to Germaine for bringing out all the peanut shooter desserts, at lunch that I loved so much!. Thank you to Windel, Kerwin, Kirby. Tressa, Sylvia, Jayeh and Mickel, Devon and anyone I have not named for proving us with the most amazing cocktails and bar service. Jayeh and Mickel for our 4pm 'pina colada' o'clock time every day and providing a first class pool and beach service. You were all so much fun to be around and made our stay extra special.

Chefs: Thank you to Rene, Harry, Linton and all the team who worked so hard on the delicious menu's, and for having the weekly banana flambe on the menu, which is a firm favourtie of ours doused in the Denros rum! We also loved the BBQ evenings and lunches and the delicious lemon and BBQ sauces to accompany the fish and meat.

A huge thank you to Simeon who is the Good Vibes resort co-ordinator. Simeon helped us to tailor make 3 trips for us to the local markets, the Pink Plantation House so that we could purchase the beautiful local pottery, and visits to the Botanical Gardens with lunch at The Beacon. We had expert drivers, Paul and Ali who were very knowledgeable about the island and gardens and took great care of us. Ali even stopped to pick us fresh mangos from the trees that we could have at breakfast. Simeon also organised the zip wire and gondola tram ride for us at Rainforest Adventures, which was a day enjoyed by us all.

It was my birthday while we were on holiday and we had a private beach cabana expertly decorated by head gardener Sylvanus. Personalised menus, tied in ribbon and our table covered in sparkles. I had a delicious birthday cake baked by the chefs (white chocolate, lime and coconut) which was such a wonderful treat. Even the local Shak Shak band came out of the main restaurant where they were entertaining the guests, to sing Happy Birthday to me! What a wonderful evening. Everything is so carefully thought out and you are made to feel at home from day one.

The entertainment: There is slightly more entertainment now that there was in 2013, which is a good thing. We loved the fact that the steel band still play twice weekly on a Thursday and Saturday at lunchtime and the talented Dien who plays the in-house Steinway piano 3 nights per week during dinner. The Shak Shak bands, the wonderful DJ on a Friday evening, and the singer on a Saturday, all welcome additions and appropriate for a small intimate resort where guests can mingle in the bar after dinner and enjoy the atmosphere.

We met up with friends we had not seen for 10 years who are regular's at East Winds and got to know others that have returned for many years to this island paradise. Please do not change a thing, as this very special resort is like no other and we hope to see you all again in the future. More

  Fantastic, laid back hotel.
Can’t praise the water sports team - Damien and Joe - highly enough. Joe took the time to teach our teenage son to sail the... read more Hobiecat and they were both on hand to help with kayaks and paddle boards.
The bar and restaurant staff are fabulous; Michel and Jayan on the beach and Sylvia and Devon in the bar. Too many to name!
And my husband highly recommends Theresa’s hands of steel for a firm massage, noting that you can choose your pressure rating of course!
The only niggle was the mosquitoes - they are an issue, especially in the wet season. I don’t know if there was misting, we didn’t see it but definitely need the 50% DEET.
We have stayed at 3 different luxury hotels in St Lucia and this is the best! More

This was the last place we stayed on the island and was the perfect way to end our vacay with some downtime. Great property, amazing gardens, right on the beach, incredible people.

Definitely worth noticing the local artwork they have around the place.

You can tell that everyone there is putting a huge effort into making your vacation flawless.

Definitely make time for a massage in their garden spa! Listening to the sounds of nature while getting pampered is incredible.

I have already recommended it to a few people looking for a chilled out St. Lucia experience. Really, really great place - we will for sure be back. More
