Hideaway at Royalton St Lucia

I would recommend this resort to everyone. We had the Butler service as well as an oceanfront room. We were on the corner above the bar so had a great view of both the resort and the ocean. I would highly recommend this room. Room 1201. Any room on this corner would be a great option though. (eg. 1301, 1401) Speaking of bars. The Hideaway bar has the best bar tender. His name is Chester and he welcomes you immediately. He doesn't let you have one dull moment from the time you sit down until the time you leave. We laughed a lot while we were there. Every 20min he make a toast or has someone else make one. I suggest thinking of something prior to going because he will put you on the spot and for me personally I suck at toasts. lol Chester stood out as one of the people who really made our experience there just that much better. You have to visit him its worth paying to stay at the Hideaway just so you can visit Chesters bar, unfortunately he takes 2 days off a week though very disappointing. Haha Our Butler Darnell was so amazing as well. Although I don't feel you need a butler and I may never get one again he was a huge part of making out time there amazing as well. When we arrived to the resort he greeted us in the lobby and informed us that he had already made us a dinner reservation so we didn't have to eat at the buffet. This meant the world to me because I was starving and the last thing I wanted to do was search for my food. lol He was always so happy to see us and help us out with anything we may need or want. He even ran us a nice bubble bath that we came home to after a long day off the resort on an excursion. The water was still at perfect temperature and everything. He made all of our reservations for us at the restaurants and he ordered our lunch and brought it to our loungers at the pool so we didn't have to get up if we didn't feel like it. It was amazing!!! He was full of knowledge and if he didn't know the answer to something he found out for us. We had Garvin a few times as well and he was really great too. Not quite as lively as Darnell but still just a pleasant. We had excellent food the entire time. Never had to eat at the same restaurant twice if we didn't want to. I recommend Dorado, Zen and Hunter for sure, They also have a Caribbean buffet night on Mondays at the entertainment stage which we really enjoyed. We lucked out that our day trip landed on the Monday because we didn't have a dinner reservation made for that night anyways. I suggest booking the 7:45pm dinner at Zen so you're the first ones there for the second dinner seating, this way you don't have to listen to the other 2 tables going at the same time. It gets quite loud by the time the 3rd table starts their entertainment. We had a good 35 min at least before the second table was sat. There was only one meal we didn't fully enjoy and that was at the Calypso Restaurant. Just wasn't anything special although the service was still great. We had an issue with one of our electrical outlets one night. When I was drying my hair before dinner the outlet basically melted. Within 10min there was a repair man there and within 15min it was fixed and I was using it again. We couldn't believe it. The rooms were very clean, nothing was damaged on arrival, the water pressure was fantastic and the water didn't have a funny smell like I've experienced in other countries. From the second we entered the resort we were greeted with a smile and anything we could have needed was given to us. One thing I would avoid is the time share thing they do. Very annoying and I felt terrible for the people working this job because the entire thing is a huge scam that doesn't save you money unless that's exactly how you want to travel and with the amount of money you spend to be at this resort it's a complete waste of your time to sit and listen to the speech. One couple I spoke with was caught up with it all for 3 hours because they wouldn't let off. I could literally go on and on about our experience but I won't I will add one more must do though. Visit Pigeon Island. It's not a long walk, wear comfortable shoes. I did not and paid for it. Our guide was really great for this mini trip, I forget her name but she runs the entertainment department at the resort as well. She was very knowledgeable and very funny. If you don't mind staying afterwards and paying the $15 to take the taxi back I suggest going to the museum as well that is there. We did not do this but I wish we had of.

The transfers ruined the holiday, as the transportation were well of need of replacement. as the road were dangerous and hair raising experience. Along with the bug that hit all of our party and many other guests

Bartenders were so entertaining and friendly. Especially Brian, Chester, Jaloni, Suzanne, and Steven. Rooms extremely clean, food terrific! Recommending to all our family and friends! Beautiful island as well.
