Our flight home was cancelled so this was a last minute booking for 2 nights. We booked the cheapest room type (Croton Double) so we weren’t expecting much. Pros: We did like the 3 pools and the gardens were very nice, and well maintained. The presence of security guards was reassuring. WiFi connectivity was very good. The gym was equipped with new equipment. I liked the access to self-service laundry. We were able to use a courtesy room to shower ahead of our evening flight, which was appreciated. Splash Water Park was great fun. Reception staff were helpful. Cons: Breakfast offering was okay. They ran out of cutlery one morning so we spent 10 minutes sat unable to eat our food whilst more was being washed. When they had washed the cutlery, they prioritised putting it on empty tables instead of giving it to guests who were sat waiting, which I thought was odd. Our room (301) had a couple of issues. The door isn’t fitted properly so there is a big gap at the top, letting in light and sound. There’s also a small window above it which doesn’t have a curtain, so light is let in at night. The shower dial would only turn to “very hot water”. Maintenance were able to fix it. The clothes line above the bath is broken. The walls are very thin and we could hear the guests in the room next door. Overall, the hotel met our expectations for the price we paid. If we had booked a more expensive room, I think we would have had a really good stay here and would recommend

Hit and Miss

I stayed here before and absolutely love the gardens and little pools at the hotel and thought it would be a nice family spot because the shuttle to the beach and use of loungers is super convenient (though shuttle runs only 1/hr and sometimes leaves early so you need to be in the lobby waiting at least 15min in advance). The beach is lovely with super calm water and fair number of loungers with shade. However, Rodney Bay seems to be much less busy than it used to be; by 7pm, all shops and a lot of smaller restaurants are already closed, so you really need to rely on the hotel for activities and getting actuate information about what activities are available was a major issue (and quality varied). Service in general is not good - no one will go out of their way. Most of the staff are friendly enough but some are are almost hostile to guests. Expect long waits in restaurants - up to ten minutes just to be seated at a table that wasn't cleaned or set with cutlery. You might ask three times for coffee and still have to get it yourself. There are very few vegetarian options; the food is overall expensive and not very good (and not consistent: had a great wrap at the resort one day and then a mediocre one the next day). Breakfast was just ok; there was salt fish on offer at least twice and never any pancakes or waffles or anything of that sort, but there is a very good egg station. Gym is tiny but new equip. Rooms are ok but dated. Showers with poor pressure, inconsistent heat.

Ms. Cheryl Gustave (General Manager) and her staff were most accommodating to me and my family while we were visiting the island in February (2025). We had a very memorable 3-generational trip (mother, daughter & grandmother) and our stay here was no exception. Now, we plan to return to the property every time we visit St. Lucia and will certainly recommend it to others. I can't say enough about the service, food, drinks, shuttle to the other (3) Bay Gardens properties, which we had access to, and the serene atmosphere at Bay Gardens Hotel. The bartenders were great and the Rum Punch was even better! The hotel was recommended to us by family members and it did not disappoint. The pictures online accurately depicted the grounds. Well worth the money. I wish I had been a bit more adventurous and taken part in the Karaoke Night activities...maybe next time.

The hotel is not a 4-star property. Breakfast was poor and of very low quality, room is old and many facilities including shower were not working properly. Rooms were loud due to street traffic. Staff was not professional.
