Like two resorts within a resort, the upper-middle-range all-inclusive Coconut Bay divides its 250 rooms in two sections: one for adults (Harmony) and one for families (Splash). Guests can spread out along a mile-long beach, as well as at five outdoor pools, while children tend to stick to CocoLand -- a water park with a lazy river and water slides -- and the top-notch kids club. Meanwhile, adults have access to a notable spa, modern fitness center, and tennis courts. Rooms have balconies and mini-fridges, and the all-inclusive package includes quality a la carte restaurants, premium liquors, and free transfers from the airport. Free Wi-Fi is available in the lobby only. Overall, this is a nicer and slightly pricer all-inclusive pick than either St. James's Club Morgan Bay or St. Lucian by Rex Resorts.

Cap Maison Resort & Spa is a four-and-a-half-pearl hotel located in northern St. Lucia. The resort’s 49 rooms and villas have a Caribbean meets Spain feel, with local artwork blended with hacienda-inspired design elements. Most rooms have sea views, while villas offer full kitchens and separate living areas, along with other luxurious features like private pools or whirlpools. There are two beautiful pools, two brilliant restaurants, and a delightful little spa; however, the tiny beach isn’t particularly impressive and most of the island’s top attractions are over an hour’s drive away. Travelers may want to compare rates and amenities with the upscale Ti Kaye Resort & Spa, although it's also in an isolated location.

Royalton Saint Lucia is a swanky, four-and-a-half-pearl resort located on the northern coast of St. Lucia. The resort’s 352 guest rooms are a study in modern style, offering open-concept bathrooms and plenty of tech features. An impressive portfolio of on-site amenities includes multiple sparkling pools, a chic spa, and a bevy of excellent restaurants -- none of which require reservations. Naturally, the Royalton is among the pricier options on the island, but rates are all-inclusive, which certainly sweetens the deal. Guests looking to be closer to the island’s famous Pitons (a 90-minute drive from the Royalton) might also want to consider Sugar Beach, A Viceroy Resort in Soufriere.

BodyHoliday Saint Lucia bills itself as a place to refresh, refocus, and reenergize, and the resort offers guests plenty of opportunity to accomplish these tasks. The 154-room upscale, all-inclusive resort is one of the most luxurious on St. Lucia, with daily rates that rise above nearby Sandals resorts and Rendezvous, the sister resort to BodyHoliday. Accommodations are set in a series of buildings built into the hillside overlooking Pigeon Island National Park and a secluded cove and white-sand beach. The huge temple-like wellness center is the hub for daily spa treatments, but there are also endless activities from yoga to archery to motivate guests to stay active.

Hideaway at Royalton Saint Lucia is an adult-only, four-and-a-half-pearl property located in a secluded cove outside Rodney Bay. The resort’s 166 rooms are sleek and contemporary, featuring glamorous open-concept bathrooms, private balconies, and cozy sitting areas. Guests have access to all the features at the massive Royalton Saint Lucia, which includes eight restaurants, a swanky spa, and several pools, along with a private, adult-only infinity pool, a la carte restaurant, and stretch of beach. On the downside, the property is quite a drive from the island’s top attractions and guests keen on an adult-only experience may not appreciate that much of the property is shared with an all-ages resort. Ladera Resort offers an alternative for guests looking for an exclusively adult-only resort closer to St. Lucia’s famous Pitons.

The luxurious Jade Mountain is one of the most romantic resorts not only in the Caribbean, but the world, thanks to its incredible Piton views and extraordinary design. The 29 enormous suites, called "sanctuaries," are hands down the highlight; through the innovative, open fourth wall, each has a view of a sea from the entire room -- from the canopied bed, raised whirlpool tub, and (in all but the entry-level category) private infinity pool. Organic cuisine is served from a chic open-air restaurant, and guests can expect unwavering peace and quiet throughout (there are no TVs or children). Food is well-regarded and all-inclusive packages add value. Though there is no beach, guests can take a short shuttle ride or hike down to use the two beaches, free water sports, and dive center at sister property Anse Chastanet. All in all, Jade Mountain is well worth the price and bumpy ride to get there. Families -- our couples looking for easier beach access -- should consider Sugar Beach, a Viceroy Resort.

This luxurious Viceroy is truly a stunner. It has arguably the best location on St. Lucia, right in between the Pitons, St. Lucia's famous volcanic spires, and on a beautiful white-sand beach. Its 79 rooms are minimalistic, chic, and mostly white, and all come with private plunge pools, butlers, and 24-hour room service; the larger villas and cottages offer living rooms and huge bathrooms (some with outdoor showers and hot tubs). Features include a family-friendly pool, fitness center, tennis courts, and free water sports. The romantic tree-house spa is one of the island's best. The resort's restaurants and bars are pricey, but all-inclusive rates are available to help guests keep costs in check. On St. Lucia, only the adult-only Jade Mountain can compare -- but it lacks the on-site beach found here, and its spa isn't as nice.

Featuring just nine villas and cottages, this affordable, fun, and romantic (albeit quirky) hillside resort packs in a lot of personality -- from both the decor and the interesting, attentive owners. It is said to be situated on the highest spot close to the town of Soufriere, and guests will be rewarded with spectacular views of the Piton mountains and the dramatic surrounding landscape. The colorful units -- many of which are quite spacious -- have their own pools and kitchens. Guests can also dine at the on-site restaurant; the notoriously fun happy hours with live music and strong cocktails are not to be missed. Don't forget the bug spray, the "good" camera, and a 4x4 vehicle to get up the hill. Wi-Fi is free. Those who want closer proximity to the beach may prefer the also charming Anse Chastenet or Stonefield Estate Villa, but they're pricier and not quite as intimate.

Anse Chastanet Resort is a four-pearl hotel located a short drive from the town of Soufriere. Its 49 rooms have oodles of character plus incredible views, and some are partially open air, with only three walls. Set on a hilly property amid hundreds of acres of tropical vegetation, this resort is designed to be in harmony with the natural environment. Several open-air restaurants make the most of the surrounding tropical scenery and there are two picturesque beaches, but not all guests will love the resort’s conscious choice to not have TVs, and there's no pool. Guests might want to compare rates and amenities with nearby Ladera Resort (although it doesn’t have beach access).
