Windjammer Landing Villa Resort & Spa

We paid for 2 rooms with 2 beds in each room and when we arrived we were booked for 2 rooms with 1 bed in each. This was unacceptable because there were 4 adult women who paid to have their own bed during the vacation. Also, the restaurant staff were very rude, unapologetic and seemed as though we worked for them. We had to ask for basic utensils, water, etc which I thought was very unacceptable. I felt this could have made our vacation horrible but we continued to enjoy the other things the resort had to offer.

Great resort; absolutely beautiful setting. Restaurants were excellent, service was excellent. Will absolutely go back again.

We are 3 sisters who went for a week’s stay on a timeshare basis. Our villa was halfway up the hill and thank goodness for the shuttles as it was a steep walk down and almost impossible up. There were also a lot of stairs so it would not have been good for someone with mobility issues but there are many choices of different accommodation here at different prices, sizes and locations. A one bedroom apartment for 4 people had got a large bedroom and bathroom, a separate shower room and a sofa bed. Personally, not ideal for 3/4 adults. Well, not ideal with kids either as the sofa/sitting area becomes the bedroom, with no privacy. Despite that, it was well appointed with dining area, large kitchen and a huge terrace with plunge pool and only 2 sunbeds! The staff were fabulous and friendly. A choice of eating places but all a little expensive. If you don’t want to venture far, you could manage without a car and take a taxi or a tour to see the rest of the island. We had a car which was parked at the bottom of the hill in the car park by reception and was very useful. The beach is lovely but I recommend taking water shoes as there are a lot of rocks. Even getting to the water hammocks is painful. Several pools across the property which were lovely. A small but adequate supermarket and a couple of tourist shops. A dive shop and water sports section. You can be self catering, bed and breakfast or all inclusive here so the choice is yours.

We have just returned from a family holiday at this resort. Mum, Dad and two teenagers. The WiFi is excellent throughout the entire resort. I did a lot of research prior to travelling and we were not disappointed. The location is picture perfect. The villas are superb all with majestic views being on the hill and the hotel beach is one of the best we have found travelling the Caribbean in many years. Food is good, but with only 4 restaurants it gets a bit tedious if you are all inclusive for over a week. We were suprised at how quiet the hotel was 12% at check in and 25% on departure. This did however mean no trouble eating out without booking, no queues, no shortage of loungers, no waiting for food or drinks etc. The down sides of this resort are as follows...they are almost entirely time shares and they are eager to give every new visitor the 90 minute sales pitch !!!! The resort like many others is at the furthest point away from the airport around 90 minute transfer. Also the hill you see in all the photos is very steep. This is not a problem walking down but we used shuttle every time we went back up to our villa. Also because the resort is not solely all inclusive you have to sign for EVERYTHING. This meant that even our children had to sign for ice creams, drinks and food. But that said, they were our only negative findings. The water sports centre was well staffed and efficiently run. Plenty of things to do and in good order. Gordon was very helpful and friendly. On the bar, Alex on the beach at Embers bar looked after us each day. He was good fun and an excellent bartender. In Jammers bar Keston was the star. He remembered everyone’s names, our drinks, our room number. We were very impressed. He is a credit to the hotel and we wanted to mention a few staff by name for their outstanding contribution to our enjoyment whilst staying at Windjammer. The sea is clear, warm and clean. The beach is very well maintained, private and safe. So no hassle. The pools are nice but very little natural shade or parasols so using the beach was the preferred option everyday. The hammocks in the sea are such a good idea. Also the pontoon and trampoline in the sea are a fabulous addition keeping young and old amused for hours. We had to check out of our room at 11 am and had an evening flight. By chance I heard from another guest that there is a complimentary room for showering etc. So we utilised this, but be warned we got the shuttle there and changed etc only to find the phone in the room does not work and so we had to walk back down the hill in the torrential rain to reception before our departure. So if you are going to use this I suggest arranging for the shuttle to come back and pick you up ! Also one more warning. Our transfer to the airport letter came as arranged the day before we left and stated pick up time 3.45pm and so we duly were ready at this time, only to be told the driver had come for 3pm departure and had left. This was a little fraught and in the end the hotel got us to the airport as this was not our mistake. Would I return to Windjammer ? Definitely

We went to the Windjammer with some lifelong friends and stayed at their villa. What a wonderful time! You can enjoy all kinds of water sports, and each of the dining facilities had wonderful food and service. Most evenings have live entertainment, and the evening views looking across the bay at Castries were spectacular. The most difficult part of the entire adventure is driving around...especially coming from and going back to the airport. Start with the fact that driving is in the left lane (UK style) and all the roads are narrow and curvy. We were almost run off the road at least half a dozen times, both by oncoming traffic as well as some going in our same direction.

My husband and I just spent a week with our two grandkids, ages 13 and 8, at Windjammer Landing, St Lucia. When we first arrived, I was disappointed because I thought we were booked in a two bedroom condo, but, in fact, the AA Vacations paper did state “a two bedroom family room�. There was no kitchen or living room, just two bedrooms connected. By the next morning, however, Esie at the front desk had me moved into the condo-type room I was looking for. She was very gracious, never sounding annoyed, despite my negative tone which was a result of exhaustion after the 12 hours of traveling it took us to get there. Esie was also very helpful with restaurant suggestions, as well as tours to suit our needs. The condo we had was very unique. The buildings are built into the side of a cliff, so the walks all around the complex are steep. Inside Rm. 43BC was a master bedroom and bath, and living area, dining area, kitchen. Also a large porch overlooked the property with a view of the ocean. The porch had a dining table also which seated 6. All the furnishings were updated and really nice. The kitchen was adequate, but could have been better stocked. Perhaps they were not expecting us to really be eating there, as the resort has an all-inclusive option we did not purchase. There was no disposal or dishwasher. There was another downstairs bedroom and bath with a smaller porch for our grandkids. They loved this, because they had their own floor. This floor also had lovely furnishings. There were separate great air conditioners for the bedrooms and living areas. What really made our vacation so terrific, however, was the staff at the water sports area. For no extra charge, we could kayak, paddle boat, waterboard, snorkel, or sail. Waterskiing was a very small fee. Anywhere else we have travelled charged for everything. Gordon, Adonaih and Denver were so patient in teaching my boys how to waterski. Fiona was terrific to sign the boys in and out and very helpful to set up a schedule for us. There were others whose names I didn’t get, but everyone down there was very friendly and helpful. I loved them all! My kids had never before been on a small boat, and one left actually skiing, and the other kneeboarding. They had the time of their lives, thanks to the staff at the water sports center. People at the front desk like Esie, Helen, and Anna need to be mentioned, as well as a gentleman whose name I don’t know. They always tried to meet our every wish. Thanks, Windjammer Landing, for a terrific vacation!

As newlyweds, we wanted an escape to paradise with a blend of adventure and relaxation, tasty meals and an expansive drink menu ;) All of that was found at Windjammer. It came on recommendation from a friend and it absolutely lived up to its glowing reviews. We had fun in the pools, on the paddle boards and doing yoga at the work-out center. The staff could not have been more wonderful. Shout out to June at Papa Don's for making our dining experience extra special. We plan to go back at soon as we can. Thanks again all the staff at Windjammer!
