Hi,
First timers travelling from the UK to St Lucia (actually first time to Caribbean) planning on travelling during February half term 2018. A family of 4, 2 adults and 2 girls 9 and 4.
Probably only get to stay for a week, it’s for my 40th birthday so a special trip that I’m looking forward to. I’m struggling to make a decision over the resorts Windjammer and Coconut Bay and which will suit our needs better.
We enjoy vising restaurants both on and off site. What is in the vicinity of each resort? Can you take a stroll out of the resort and pay for a meal off resort if we fancy? This could be a decision maker as I can get itchy feet after a few days.
How long is the transfer to Windjammer? Whilst a long transfer with kids is not ideal if this appears the better property this will not put me off.
The wind at Coconut Bay. Is this an issue whilst holidaying in this resort? I keep reading comments about it. Does it make the weather rather cool in February? If the weather is calmer at Windjammer and less windy this could again be a decision maker.
We’re not into swimming in the sea but enjoy a pretty beach to stroll along and let the kids play in the sand. Presuming both resorts are fine to do this and the beaches are pretty Caribbean beaches? First time in the Caribbean I’m desperate to see some pretty beaches.
I believe kids facilities are good at both resorts. I’d appreciate any comments in this regard. My girls love organised activities and getting involved.
Any other opinions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks
Sarah
