Body Holiday Saint Lucia

Lovely staff,beach and facilities. In the 20 years I have been visiting I have never had any complaints! Clean rooms, well supplied with refreshments. Essential air con due to global warming! Lovely food,generous portions with a wide variety of food at the buffets. Amazing sunsets. My go -to place to relax and unwind.

Went to Body Holiday for a girls’ trip in October 2024. Well-appointed rooms, gorgeous views, a huge variety of fitness classes (with hilarious and motivational instructors), and daily spa treatments/massages included. I anticipated mostly relaxation benefits from the treatments but noticed improvements in my mobility and back pain after just a few days. The resort has a large variety of food and drink options (also included), including an impressive array of cocktails/mocktails, and a lovely afternoon tea (don’t sleep on the apple tart!!!) I can understand why I met so many repeat visitors during my trip - would definitely love to return!

The resort took a hit from hurricane Beryl. It needed renovations. Fair enough. However they continued to allow guests to stay with no warning of these major renovations prior to arrival. One pool closed. There are three - one is in the spa which is isolated from the main resort. They needed to repair the beach. JCBs and dumper trucks from 6- 11 each night in front of the restaurants and apartments. Less than exciting excursions offered for the pool closure. Nothing for the JCBs. Really poor. The only thing that makes me happy they kept the resort open is that the wonderful staff still get paid. But from a customer perspective it is awful

From what I can see from the negative views, many of these travellers were returning and had been many times before. Although, of course, their views are valid as they have a comparison, as a first-time visitor, I couldn't rate it enough. That's not to say it was perfect, but let's get into more detail. The transfer from the airport took about 90 minutes, and the Skytour driver took us through the back roads, which, although bumpy, were most certainly quicker. This meant we arrived at Body Holiday just as the sun was going down, and OMG, what a view! We were greeted with a warm welcome and the first juice shot of the holiday. We were swiftly shown to our room and clearly explained how to access the day's events on the tablet provided, as well as the visits we would receive from housekeeping. On the first evening, we ate in Cariblue, which was an a la carte with exceptional food and service. After a long day of travelling, we were keen to get a good night's rest and start our holiday. The Room The bed was 'amazing'. I struggle to sleep in anything but my own bed, but this bed was perfect for me. It was spacious, firm, and had crisp sheets. The view was exceptional, and the air conditioning was great. The Wi-Fi was a little intermittent, but to be honest, the lack of Wi-Fi was, in my mind, a good thing, as I was there to get my mind back. Typically, it seems, Body Holiday rectifies issues before they seemingly arrive. One evening, we went back to our room early as we were super tired (trust me when I say this is a good tired), and our electricity didn't appear to be working. So I rang reception to enquire whether there was an issue within the hotel, and there was. This was a problem that was rectified within 30 minutes. It wasn't a big deal in my mind, and if it had been a problem, we could have very easily gone back to the communal areas, such as the bars, where there was electricity and waited until it was rectified. The following day, we received a letter apologizing for the electricity issue and saying that we had a complimentary late checkout on our day of leaving. This was great news, especially as we didn't complain; however, the team clearly wanted to ensure that due to our inconvenience, they were happy to provide compensation as such, even though this was not requested. The rooms could use a bit of a facelift, as they don't quite match the resort's standard, but apart from that, they were large and comfortable, and they had a handy safe as well to place passports, jewellery, etc. At this point, I want to shout out to the housekeeping staff. They are amazing. We only have one name, 'Nigella,' which was written on a welcome piece of paper, but I suspect Nigella was not the only person who entered our room, and they did an amazing job. The Restaurants The restaurants were all exceptional. Some nights, not all the restaurants were open, but it was difficult not to find food that you liked in the ones that were open. The quality o

We have lost count of how many times we’ve stayed at the Body Holiday. Many of the staff are like family. They are an exceptional group of people and provide excellent service throughout the resort. From the senior managers to the most junior staff, everyone has a ‘can do’ attitude. We have visited many parts of St Lucia both land and sea. It is a beautiful island with a lot of interesting sights but this summer we stayed in the resort. Our son came with us and made full use of the activities including beach fit, swimming, yoga, rugby training with Lee Mears (former professional rugby player for England) and beach volleyball. Every summer sports personalities come to the Body Holiday to provide fitness training and give inspiring speeches. We really enjoyed meeting Lee and listening to his fascinating stories. We enjoyed all of the food, which was of a consistently high standard. This year we decided to have dinner one evening at Ital and it was amazing! The location is breathtakingly beautiful and the food is delicious. Thanks go to all of the staff for their hospitality and in particular to Yhasmine and Alpha, restaurant managers Anna and Colleena, Cathy in housekeeping and Janine at the spa. We look forward to seeing you again on our next visit!

The BodyHoliday is the most relaxing and restful place to vacation. All the restaurants are excellent, particularly Tao,and Carblue Windows. The food is expertly prepared and delicious to eat. The variety of selections is fantastic. The daily inclusive treatments are fabulous and relaxing, particularly the Lucian Ginger & Lime Scrub, the Aloe Vera Body Wrap, the Aromastones Massage, and living Facial. All the therapies are very attentive and well-prepared. All the staff are wonderfully friendly, attentive, and a joy.
