From only 7 nights from £735
On the island's southern shore, and very close to Hewanorra Airport, this sprawling oceanfront resort has emerged as one of the most frequently recommended mass-market, all-inclusive hotels on the island.
It features a waterpark with two four-story-high waterslides and a handful of swimming pools which, while not the most dramatic on St. Lucia, are among the largest. There's also a lazy 230m (754-ft.) stream that runs sleepily through the property.
Unlike some resorts, Coconut Bay welcomes singles, couples (of all persuasions), and families. There is an array of constant activities, including nightly entertainment from local bands. Spanning 34 lushly planted hectares (84 acres), Coconut Bay is fringed with coconut palms, opening onto Savannes Bay.
Rooms are long and narrow, each with at least a partial ocean view (those on the fourth floor have unobstructed vistas). Units also come with separate sitting areas and a private balcony.
