Windjammer Landing Villa [Castries, ]- Hotel Reviews

Planned with an architect's talent (noted Caribbean architect Ian Morrison designed it) and a landscape artist's flare, Windjammer Landing is a true resort with fun and activities, privacy (you add the romance) and the look and feel of an exotic village. Opened in 1989, this self-contained village resort has all the services and amenities the most seasoned traveler could want.

At Windjammer Landing you are ensconced on 60 lush and flowering acres, right on a magnificent crescent-shaped private beach. There are 248 rooms located in spacious, quiet villas. Each has a look and feel of what you may have visualized on the plane en route to St. Lucia. Sunny prints are on the beds and chairs, rattan furniture decorates the spacious rooms, warm ceramic tiles are everywhere. Gentle trade winds sweep through the open concept living and dining rooms. Ceiling fans and bedroom air conditioners are there to cool you further if you need it. All villas come with fully-equipped kitchens and bedrooms have an ocean view.

Each villa and cluster of rooms is secluded from its neighbors by tall trees and flowering bushes. Brick paths wander through the 60 acres of magnificent landscaping, with scented gardens, sparkling pools and waterfalls, covered walkways, pickled wood and hand-painted tiles. And there is jitney service to take you from your villa to anywhere on the property.

In this village resort, there is everything to keep you going day and night if you choose or many quiet places to simply do nothing -- put your feet up, relax and take in the sheer physical beauty of your surroundings.[less]

Excellent dining, well kept grounds.
Rooms need upgrade. Very expensive. Beach very poor.

“St Lucia is very expensive. Taxi to the hotel was $75.00 one way! Taxi to town $25.00 one way. Hotel has no ambiance, entire hotel needs remodeling. It doesnt have a good beach. Very narrow area and water has lots of rocks in the bottom. The bedrooms were comfortable, but outside the bedroom is all fresco, so birds and nature comes in so furniture is much worn, and yes mosquitoes were everywhere. When we arrived it was raining very hard, so the kitchenette was flooded with water, all the chairs and cushions were soaked also, and the hotel lobby had no power. I do not recommend St Lucia, and do not recommend this hotel. The hotel is more like a 2.5 resort. Very basic. We were very disappointed.”

Nice villas, beautiful view.
Bad business practices!

“Buyer bewares! I booked my reservation online. By the time I got to the hotel, they wouldn't honor the reservation because they thought the room was worth more. They gave me no notice that they were canceling. They told me that I had to pay the rack rate, which is full price. Reserve a room here at your own risk.”

Gorgeous, friendly, inclusive, great staff, fabulous villa..
There was nothing not to love.

“Windjammer Landing was the most beautiful resort we've ever stayed in. The two bedroom villa was spacious, well furnished and had a gorgeous view. The all inclusive package was excellent; allowing our family to eat whenever and whatever they wanted and included all beverages and water sports as well. The staff was phenomenal and the facilities were terrific. The water was great for snorkeling and diving. We know we'll be going back to this romantic resort. Be prepared for a hike though, the resort is on a steep hillside.”
