The three-pearl Bay Gardens Inn is a simple property located in Rodney Bay, and while tidy, the hotel has dated decor throughout, and it isn't directly on the beach. The inn’s 33 guest rooms are unstylish but comfortable, and all come equipped with AC, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and coffeemakers, plus furnished balconies or terraces. Features are limited to a pool, restaurant, and a bar. The added perk is that guests have access to the facilities at the inn’s two sister properties, one of which is set on Reduit Beach. Guests may want to compare rates with Ginger Lily Hotel, which is closer to the beach, but offers fewer amenities.

East Winds Inn doesn't try to compete with the mega all-inclusive resorts on St. Lucia. Instead, the intimate, 30-room, upper-middle-range all-inclusive caters to guests who want to relax in a quiet location without constant attention. It lacks amenities such as a gym and spa but offers a laid-back vibe among lushly landscaped gardens. Guests hide out in air-conditioned, cottage-style rooms, snorkel the reefs from the lovely gold-sand beach, and lounge at the pool, where they can also mix their their own cocktails at the swim-up bar.

Opened in December 2007 as St. Lucia's first private residential yacht community, The Landings is one of the island's most luxurious boutique resorts. Upon entry, it’s obvious that the developer spared no expense in the construction of the pavilion lobby, which boasts towering ceilings, polished marble floors, and a carefully curated decor that’s understated and elegant. Most of the owners of the development’s 72 residences choose to place them in the rental program. The spacious one-, two-, and three-bedroom villas cater to families and traveling couples, offering a homey atmosphere that is quieter and more personal than nearby mega-resorts -- just don't expect a huge list of activities.

Calabash Cove Resort and Spa is a four-pearl resort located on Bonaire Bay. Its 26 rooms are divided into three categories, each of which offers polished, modern decor and distinctive in-room features like swim-up pool access. Most of Calabash’s impressive on-site amenities -- including an infinity pool and a superb restaurant -- are designed to take full advantage of the property’s dramatic sea views. These features entice many guests to spend most of their time on the property, especially on the Calabash's gorgeous beach, but the resort’s isolated location means those who want to get away will need to rely on pricey taxis or rental cars. Anse Chastanet Resort in Soufriere is an excellent alternative for travelers who prefer to stay closer to the island’s main attractions.

Palm Haven Hotel is a plain, two-and-a-half-pearl property located in Rodney Bay. The hotel’s 35 rooms are bland and dated, although all have convenient mini-fridges and free Wi-Fi. Amenities include an outdoor pool, two meeting rooms, and a restaurant, however most common areas are crying out for a refresh. Low rates are the most compelling reason to stay here -- but even then, rates at Ginger Lily Hotel are often comparable and, unlike Palm Haven, Ginger Lily is right across from the beach.

Club Level and Butler Level rooms are available for upgraded service.

This 95-suite upper-middle-range resort delivers on location -- it's steps from Reduit Beach and close to Rodney Bay Village. A stylish swim-up bar services a lagoon-style pool ringed by palm trees and cushy white loungers and day beds, which are spaced far enough apart for privacy. The resort offers three restaurants, but the most intimate is the Beach Shack, an open-air pavilion right on the beach. Some of the spacious suite-style rooms have terraces with dead-on views of the sea, but the rooms do show hints of wear and tear with scuffed floors and spots on the rugs.

Quiet, sophisticated, and stylish, this luxury resort doesn't skimp on amenities -- it boasts a beautiful Olympic-size pool, an exceptional spa and fitness center, an extensive kids’ club, and a secluded beachfront with open-air restaurant and lounge.
