This Saint Lucia Beach Resort Just Completed a Big Upgrade

By: Caitlin Sullivan - November 13, 2024

One of Saint Lucia’s most popular all-inclusive resorts has completed a major, multimillion-dollar renovation, Caribbean Journal has learned.

The Coconut Bay Beach Resort and Spa completed a wide-ranging project during its annual fall closure: that included new bathrooms in the Harmony wing, new air conditioners, new soft furnishings and fresh fixtures.

It’s part of a broader upgrade that will cover all 250- rooms at the resort by the end of 2025, the property confirmed.

The resort has also added a new 10,000-square-foot deck at its wedding venue.

That’s along with just-installed beach cabanas you can rent for half or full days.

This month, Coconut Bay is set to unveil a new vegan restaurant called Seasons, along with an upgraded Jerk Tree House restaurant.

Rooms from $469 through Dec. 22.
