Babymoon - St Lucia Sunday 25th March to 1st April 2012

We went with Virgin Altantic to St Lucia, it was quite a nice airline to fly with. We stayed 7 nights at Rendezvous Hotel, it was all-inclusive and it really was all inclusive. We had 4 meals a day – breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner, all the alcohol including cocktails that one could want – some good non-alcoholic cocktails to! It also included water sports such as kayaking, sailing, snorkeling, scuba diving. They also organized activities throughout the day that you could participate in if you wanted or not (volleyball, cricket, tennis, putting)! All the meals where served at the Terrace but you could also book into the Al Carte restaurant – fine dining, Josh and I ate their twice. I spent almost all my time laying by the pool and in the spa whilst Josh did different activities it was so nice! Whilst I lay by the pool, Josh took a tennis coaching lesson, learnt how to go scuba diving and went out for a dive, he played a bit of beach cricket and did some sailing. We both went to the spa twice for fantastic massages – these where not all-inclusive we did have to pay extra! We also hired a private speed boat (with driver and guide) for the afternoon and took a trip down the coast to the south of the Island to see the famous Pitons. On the way we saw Marigot Bay, where Oprah has her house and Mick Jagger is getting a house built! We went snorkeling (yes I did do this) twice actually and as well as some amazing fish we also saw a sea horse and we got stung by jellyfish! Can’t believe I was so brave a bit of vinegar and we where ok.  We also went to the 20/20 cricket match and watched the Windies play Oz - shh but I choose to support Oz and guess who won!  On the way home we caught a helicopter transfer back to the airport – so much fun and we got an awesome look at the coast from up high. The holiday was absolutely amazing, so relaxing, everything was so beautiful and relaxing – Yeah for Josh organizing a good Babymoon!

Looking back on the resort from the beach.

Beach sun loungers, they give you a flag to put in the ground when you want a drink so they know to come over!
