Saint Lucia for the Budget Conscious: The Bay Gardens Hotel
I stayed at this hotel while attending the Saint Lucia Jazz Festival at nearby Pigeon Island and came away impressed with its weekly cultural programs as well as the location. The sand and surf are just a short stroll away via a quiet path, and being in town means you also can walk to a number of local restaurants and bars, nightclubs and shops. All-inclusive rates cover food, drinks, activities, entertainment, daily spa treatments, and access to the Splash Island Water Park.
