Three Saint Lucia Resorts Join Interval International 

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - March 1, 2022

Three Saint Lucia resorts have joined with vacation provider Interval International. 

The Bay Gardens Beach Resort, Croton Suites at Bay Gardens Hotel and Water’s Edge Villas are all now part of the Interval network.

“There is great opportunity for independent hotel operators to generate incremental revenue streams, enhance occupancy, and create deeper customer engagement with the addition of a shared ownership component to their property,” said Sanovnik Destang, executive director of Bay Gardens. “Vacation ownership has become an important part of our overall business, driving multiple profit centers that have a positive impact on our bottom line. Interval’s team was instrumental in helping us enter the sector and to this day continues to help us with all aspects of our operation, from technology and training to rental and marketing support.”

The hotel group’s Bay Gardens Beach Resort has been affiliated with Interval’s network since 2010. 

All four properties are located in Saint Lucia’s popular Rodney Bay Village.

“We are very pleased to extend a long-term business relationship built on mutual respect that began more than a decade ago. Bay Gardens is a family-owned business that has become one of the most well-recognized names in the St. Lucia hospitality industry because of the quality of its award-winning properties,” said Neil Kolton, Interval’s business development director, Caribbean, and Southeast U.S. “It has been extremely rewarding to see Bay Gardens further expand its vacation ownership program and we look forward to continuing to support their ongoing success in the business.”
