Coconut Bay Resort St. Lucia

I think I ought to write a review about this Hotel, but I have no idea where to start or what to write about.
The old fashioned damp rooms?
The Beach that no one ever goes to?
The food in any of the restaurants that's kind of mediocre?
Or the Night Club that is so small and dark you walk in, swing a cat and walk back out?
No. I'm not gonna go on about that.

Perhaps I will tell you about the happy Wedding Couple we met here.
As you do when you see a just married Pair, we offered our Congratulations and had a little chat with them.
They were young, maybe about 25 for the girl and 24 for the boy and they live in the UK. The slightly uncomfortable looking Groom went along his way to talk to his mates, while we carried on talking to the Bride. Turns out this was not her first Wedding, but her 5th!
Open mouthed and not sure whether to be appreciative or aghast about what we had just heard, we smiled and went to get some more free fake Champagne from the nearest Bar.

The staff here are really friendly and always smile at everyone, they always say hello and ask how you are. Which is lovely. There are some things to do to keep you engaged, like Aqua Aerobics and Pool games, a lazy river or a lazy spa treatment and there is entertainment in the evening. Though sometimes I find it more of a disturbance.
Over the years I have seen attempts to improve little things here and there and for the budget that you spend  to come here you get what you have paid for it.
A colleague said yesterday 'If I came here for my Wedding or Honeymoon, I would cry,'
She's not wrong.

Still there is sunshine and there is Caribbean spirit in this place and in the end of your holiday, all that really matters is that you had a fun/relaxing/romantic/adventure time with your family, partner or friends. And there is nothing here that would stop you from having that. It's a friendly place with friendly people who will charm you and allow you to enjoy yourself. Which is great!

By the way St. Lucia is pronounced with a 'sh' sound not a Lucy sound. Just saying.
