By: - February 19th, 2017

The island of St. Lucia has a pair of new resorts.

The all-inclusive Royalton Saint Lucia and adults-only all-inclusive Hideaway at Royalton Saint Lucia have opened their doors.

It’s the latest Caribbean resort for the rapidly-expanding Royalton brand, which now operates properties in Cuba, the Dominican Republic, St. Lucia, Jamaica and Mexico.

The family-friendly Royalton Saint Lucia has a total of 352 rooms, while the adults-only Hideaway has 104 rooms.

The properties boast a range of restaurants (Hideaway guests have access to all), from Armadillo, a Tex-Mex eatery to the Caribbean-focused Calypso restaurant to the brand’s signature C/X Culinary Experience.

The resorts also include Royalton’s “Diamond Club” offering, a premium level that includes exclusive restaurants and bar areas, exclusive pool and beach areas and butlers and concierge service.

Royalton is also readying the debut of similar adults-only and family-friendly resorts in Negril, Jamaica.
