The opening of Hyatt’s new all-inclusive resort in Saint Lucia was supposed to be last month; but now the Secrets St Lucia has a new launch date, Caribbean Journal has learned. 

Secrets St Lucia, the first-ever Secrets resort on the island and the second Hyatt Inclusive Collection property in the destination (the other one is the Zoetry Marigot Bay), is now planning a June debut. 

The 355-room resort is now planning a June 1 opening, we have confirmed. The property is now taking bookings for stays beginning on that date. (Of course, it’s may not be the most-anticipated Secrets in the Caribbean this year; that honor would fall unquestionably to the new Secrets Baby Beach in Aruba, opening this summer as well).

So what do you need to know about it? 

There’s a signature spa, nine eateries, six different bars and a great stretch of sand on Saint Lucia’s Choc Bay. 

If you had a reservation and you simply can’t wait, we have some other great options for you. 

So what about prices? There’s a special pre-opening rate that has prices of $669 per night for a deluxe tropical view king room. For a swim-out room (and you know how we feel about them), prices start at $837 per night. As we always tell readers, it’s always worth the splurge for the extra degree of comfort, indulgence and luxury. Swim-out is a slam dunk, just about anywhere you stay. 

There is also a preferred club, something we’ve enjoyed at other Secrets-branded resort in the Caribbean and an elevated room class that always improves the quality of your stay. 

If you want an all-inclusive, try the all-inclusive program at the Bay Gardens Beach Resort; it’s set on the best beach on the island and includes a very cool “dine around” program that actually lets you eat out at local restaurants as part of your all-inclusive package. Rooms staring at $475 on an EP plan, according to Google Hotels. 

If you want an adventure resort, go for Anse Chastanet, the snorkeling capital of Saint Lucia, with a stunning perch in the town of Soufriere and a wonderful old-school Caribbean vibe (and some terrific local food, too). Rooms starting at $820, $1,200 for all-inclusive. 

And if you’re looking for the Zoetry Marigot Bay (the former Marigot Bay resort that’s set on a marina within one of the most beautiful bays in the Caribbean), rates start at $878 per night.
