Familymoon or Honeymoon with Kids: St. Lucia A-I packages from $99/N
St. Lucia is one of our favorite Caribbean islands, so we are always happy to hear about money-saving deals on travel there. After author Jennifer Guterman visited the Coconut Bay Resort & Spa to review it and its family programs fro FTF, we were especially eager to hear about any new price offerings at this very family-friendly property.
Located on the island's exotic southern coast, Coconut Bay Beach, an all-inclusive resort catering to families, couples and honeymooners alike, is laid out like the island’s most famous landmarks, the twin Piton Mountains. Coconut Bay has its own set of twin hotel wings, Harmony and Splash. Harmony is a tranquil adult-only oasis offering the perfect setting for those seeking a romantic escape with a coconut palm-fringed pool, braided hammocks, intimate cabana beds and the oceanfront Kai-Mer Spa. At the opposite side of the resort, the young at heart are drawn to “Splash,” the resort’s tropical playground featuring CocoLand Kidz Klub, a paintball facility and the island’s largest water park.
Off-site adventures can be arranged like horseback riding along the beach, zip lining through the rainforest and riding all-terrain vehicles through banana plantations.
For those who don't know it, Coconut Bay Beach specializes in multi-generational and adventure travel. Their new "All-around Family Package Deal" has rates starting from $99/N per person for an all-inclusive vacation in a garden view room. These rates represent a savings of 65% through August 15, 2009. Deluxe ocean view rooms are $119 per person, and two-bedroom suites are $198 per person. Rates are based on accommodations in the Splash Wing, double occupancy in rooms, and quad occupancy in suites. Size only matters according to the size of your party, as we think most families will be out of their rooms enjoying the resort's facilities most of the time.
As an added value, families can enjoy a free round of paintball, an introduction to kitesurfing class for everyone over age 12, and a CocoPack (with backpack, water bottle, hat and T-shirt) for each child under 12. The resort's all-inclusive amenities include a full breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks daily, unlimited juices, soft drinks and alcoholic beverages, fully supervised children’s center with daily schedule of activities, daily entertainment program, water park attraction, airport transfers from St. Lucia’s Hewanorra International Airport, all hotel taxes and gratuities.
To reserve, families can contact their travel agents, book online at Coconut Bay Beach Resort & Spa or by phone (866/978-6226) with the resort directly.
