A Good Family Vacation Resort in St Lucia

If you are looking for an affordable family vacation in a luxury hotel and resort then check out Windjammer Landing Villa Beach Resort.
The family vacation resort of Windjammer Landing Villa Beach Resort is situated on Labrelotte Bay reasonably close to the town of Castries, in fact about a 15 minute drive.
It sits on a forested hillside, covering in all about 60 acres, and has clusters of white villas climbing up the hill, so much so that if you are in one of the highest villas, you’ll be kept fit by the climb. This is an all suite villa hotel, and the villas all have private plunge pools.
This makes the Windjammer Landing Villa Beach Resort a great choice as a family vacation resort because of the sheer space in the accommodation. In fact the villas can easily become anything from one to four bedroomed.
Equally the privacy of the stylishly decorated villas makes it a great honeymoon resort too, and if not that a good choice for a romantic getaway, with the separate living and dining rooms plus full kitchen also increasing the options in the villas.
The whole place has a Mediterranean village feel to it with the brick paths, and the sun kissed hillside overlooking a very pretty bay and beach.
There is a huge choice of restaurants in the 219+ unit Windjammer Resort, and in fact for the size of the resort you will have more choice than anywhere else on St Lucia. There are in fact five restaurants including Papa Don an Italian Trattoria for the pizza and pasta fiends, then Jammer’s Restaurant and Bar is a steakhouse and Grill Bar, and the Dragonfly serves Asian and West Indian food. All beautifully prepared and presented. You can have dinner prepared and served in your villa, make your own meals, or eat in the restaurants. The chefs at the Windjammer Landing Villa Beach Resort are rated amongst the top in the Caribbean, and they are one of the reasons this place is rated a top Caribbean Family resort, plus the fact that only one restaurant doesn’t allow under twelve year olds in for dinner. Another of course is the facilities, which includes a children’s programme.
One strongly suggested option is to take the all inclusive vacation package if you like to drink alcohol. What is a very affordable family resort can become very unaffordable when you add a large drinks bill at the end.
There is little doubt that the Windjammer Landing Villa Beach Resort is a good quality luxury hotel and resort, with a high satisfaction ratio. What guests seem to like more than anything is the friendliness of the staff, the roominess of the villas, the plunge pools at the villas, the food, and the water sports.
If there were grumbles, then they were mostly minor, including only one of the restaurants did breakfast, and the steepness of the hill particularly with children after a day down at the beachfront There are shuttles, but not very often when you want one.
All in [...]

Simple and Safe Ways to Choose Your Hotel or Resort

Planning a vacation overseas for you and your family? As you browse the various websites and internet marketing for resorts for images and descriptions, you’ll quickly notice how all of the descriptions and pictures of the resorts show the perfect vacation travel spot. How can you be sure they are being completely honest in their resort marketing ads?
There must be a way to determine which resorts are better short of trying to find someone who was there and the hotel resort marketing used. You never even have been to the destination country and know no one there either. There must be an easier way to book a room, right? The answer is yes there is and it only requires a little bit of homework with resort internet marketing on your part.
Independent Hotel Ratings
Your first step is to browse through various resort internet marketing ads and stop on some of the hotel review sites for guest ratings. Many of these review sites are also found on the results pages of hotel internet marketing campaigns. Reading through some of these comments can give you a fair idea on what to expect from the particular hotels located in your intended destination. I recommend looking through some of this hotel internet marketing and reading about four or five of these comments in order to get a fair overview.
Hotel Chains
Is the resort you are looking at part of an international hotel chain, such as Hilton? The majority of these international chains not only have detailed hotel and resort marketing but also implement strict standards which must be adhered to along with a standard theme for every hotel across all of their chains such as similar facilities ranging from health clubs to business centers. They do so to maintain their hotel’s high standards and reputation. As you are browsing over some internet marketing for resorts ads, pay attention to other perks and added services such as concierge, shuttle services to the city, airport transfers or laundry services.
Location
One of the most important things to go over when browsing resort marketing and trying to find a resort is the location. Places near or close to historical or shopping areas, train stations or the center of the city tend to charge higher rates compared to those located elsewhere. The resort internet marketing will often times give you an idea of all of this. Look over a map of the area before booking to determine where the closest shopping areas and tourist attractions are.
Rates and Discounts
Rates and hotel and resort marketing play a big part when choosing a hotel. Understand that paying more does not always mean a better level of service and standards. Pay attention to either the internet marketing for resorts or hotel resort marketing see if they are part of an alliance with flights or car rental companies. Some of these offer discounts to customers of their business partners.
