The Landings Resort and Spa, St. Lucia

Our vacation during Thanksgiving week was an absolute dream. From now on, every trip we take will be compared to this beautiful island and resort. We stayed in a three-bedroom villa with a dedicated butler, and the room was truly incredible—always spotless and perfectly prepared for us. We were even given a cell phone to contact our butlers whenever we needed anything. Jeanneill was our main butler, and he went above and beyond to make this vacation unforgettable. He made us feel like he was part of our family, and his first-class service and hospitality deserve recognition—he truly should be promoted to Manager of Butlers. We miss you Jeanneill!! We were also extremely impressed with the restaurants, great food and variety of choices. Only suggestion is to add another restaurant! Also, please note it is important to tip in cash as we did not know this. One of the servers pointed out that they receive very little of the tip if it’s not in cash. Also, thank you to Ophelia, our second butler, for arranging our private boat experience and making sure my mom had the most incredible 50th birthday. When we returned, the room was beautifully decorated—she truly had an unforgettable celebration, and we appreciate you so much! If you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime island getaway that will exceed your expectations with outstanding service, delicious food, and breathtaking views, this is the place. It is truly unmatched.

I visited the beautiful island of St. Lucia in November 2024, and I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to write this review.||||When my mom and I landed, the rain greeted us first. For a moment, we doubted if traveling during this season was the right decision. But those doubts vanished the second we were picked up by the resort’s shuttle. Our driver not only made us feel comfortable but also gave us a history lesson of St. Lucia with a stop to try fresh, local bread. ||Arriving at The Landings, we were welcomed by Albert at guest services. His warmth, professionalism, and kindness reassured us we made the right decision staying at this resort. He even assured us that the sun would shine the next day and he was right. Albert, if you’re still at the resort, please know you truly made our trip unforgettable. Thank you for the care you showed both my mom and me.||I hope your team recognizes all your efforts.||||The resort itself is breathtaking. Our villa felt like luxurious and was clean. The food was excellent. I also loved that the resort had a gym and access to the beach.||||Thank you, St. Lucia, and thank you, Landings Resort, for giving me one of the best vacations of my life.

We recently spent five days in St. Lucia. The hotel itself is fantastic, beautifully maintained with spacious rooms that include a Jacuzzi, washer, and dryer. Housekeeping was excellent, provided daily, and the rooms felt very comfortable and relaxing. The property is about two hours from the island’s only international airport. We booked a private taxi, and while the drive down from the airport was long, the steep and winding drive up to the hotel was even more challenging, something to be aware of if you’re prone to motion sickness. It’s advertised as having three restaurants, but during most of our stay only one was open. That said, we asked the chef to prepare a special meal on two nights, and those were truly memorable experiences. Breakfast offered a large spread, though the quality was just average. The resort has two small pools for residents and a private beach with paddleboarding included, though most other activities came at an extra cost. One thing to watch for: the all-inclusive package doesn’t cover everything. For example, Diet Coke was included in the room and restaurant, but surprisingly not at the café. Nightlife is minimal, there’s no regular evening entertainment. During our stay, a musician played at the seaside restaurant one evening, and on another night a private request led to a special live performance, which was a nice touch. Overall, it’s a lovely property with great service and amenities, but limited dining options, extra charges here and there, and a quiet atmosphere in the evenings. The biggest drawback is the location and challenging drive, so plan accordingly.

The Landings was a beautiful place to stay!! The people were so helpful and friendly . . . made it even more fun! The room was clean and nice. We truly enjoyed the whole experience and all of our interactions!! Beautiful beach!!! Our favorite was Kerim! From security guard to water sports! I highly recommend The landings!

We stayed at the Landings and we were wowed. The greatest asset of the place is the people. The Landings is well staffed and EVERYONE from the grounds staff to the wait staff to the front desk and watersports team- were beyond kind and helpful. Just cannot speak highly enough of them and the hospitality that they extended to us. While on boat tours we saw many resorts and visited a few of their beaches. The Landings was by far our favorite. ||The beach is very quiet and clean. There are two resort approved boat guys who walk the beach and can book a tour for you but there is no pressure. There are a few locals that come to exercise in the water and on weekends, a group of locals came for a cookout and to swim just down from the resort. But at some beaches that we visited there were souvenir stands and people asking us to buy things and boats of tours coming and going- there is nothing like that at The Landings. We felt totally safe leaving our belongings on our chairs while swam. The have huge rings and a dock floating in the swim area. The kids loved them. We enjoyed the sailing, kayaking and paddle boarding and even had a boat pull us on the banana. The beach is clean and there are plenty of chairs and umbrellas. ||The property is gorgeous. The vegetation is so lush and there are always gardeners upkeeping. ||They have a great designer. All the furniture is so pretty and relaxing. The upholstery looks brand new. I don’t know how they keep it that way. ||We ate at the beachfront restaurant once and it was very good. The breakfast was out of this world- a highlight of every day. Fresh local and traditional American friendly breakfast choices, made to order omelets, a new selection every day and an incredible bay view while you eat! Mostly the restaurants were a bit too high priced for us to each lunch and dinner there daily so we picked up groceries and cooked since we had a full kitchen.||We had a HUGE three bedroom apartment. The houseekeeping staff is to be commended. The place was spotless. The beds and furniture was very comfortable. The kids loved the splash pool on the patio. The tennis/ pickleball courts were in great shape. ||Minor downsides: I don’t know what was going on with the kids club but I asked for an activities schedule as a preliminary schedule was provided before arrival and the front desk said they didn’t have one. So we just kept our little one with us. He had plenty to do. We were told there was a teen club but it was closed to “revamp the program” with no projected opening date. Our teens were super busy with the onsite activities anyway. I just kind of doubt the feeling that they are getting geared up for high season. The pools are spread across the property but there are no towels available there and the watersports area where you are supposed to get towels was often out of chair covers and towels. Two out of the three showers in our unit had shower doors that didn’t close all the way so the water leaked on the floor. Not a huge deal, just had to position the bathmat to catch the water.

Myself and two kids stayed here for 6 days/5 nights in a two bedroom suite. The staff were amazing, very friendly, and the beach was beautiful. The kids loved the various pools and activities. You can easily walk down the beach and explore as well. The value was great, we ate at the restaurant for Breakfast which had a ton of options, and went to local restaurants for dinner. The water sports were easily accessible, and you can rent jet skis from people down the beach as well. There were a lot of fish in the water for snorkeling, but a ton of spots and tours around the island as well. Your family will have a great time.

Our room was magnificent, I felt like a King. The grounds are unimaginable. There are four pools, exercise room, the beach was perfect. We took a mixology class, which was great. We learned a lot about rum!! The general manager who I said had a radio voice was great!! The employees were well trained and caring. The butlers were amazing, and wanted us to call them more!! They were really great, I never had a vacation before with this service and you can get spoiled easily. The servers were so good at their jobs and performed excellently. The breakfast was stupendous and they changed it up every day. Kayla stood out as a server that went above her job, and should be in management. Someday maybe we will go back and meet her son. I felt guilty that I left so quickly but I don’t want to tear up!! Again all the butlers were so good at their jobs. They made us all feel special. Special thanks to them all for making our vacation something to remember. I would recommend the Landings to anyone. For us I hope it wasn’t a once in a lifetime adventure. I would hope we can get back there again someday. Epic is what I would call this experience. Thank you all.

We went off season which meant that not all the restaurants weren't open every night. Food was very limited especially if you're vegetation or it was the same food everyday. The breakfast was a big disappointment as they only had a live egg counter. The fruit was limited to watermelon, gala melon, apple and banana even though other exotic fruit was available on the island and in supermarkets. when we asked for a variety of fruit we were refused. Staff are very happy and friendly but they won't really go out their way unless you're paying the cost for it. Room and hotel is very clean, very peaceful, rooms are very spacious. Location is ideal as there so many restaurants close to the hotel near the town centre.||The down fall was that kids club is only available for kids 4yrs over and parents are not allowed. Most of the hotels around the world don't operate like this. I would not be comfortable to leave my child at the age of 4 alone with a stranger. I would suggesting going on season as they will be operating on full capacity but regardless the breakfast could have been better.
