First, you have the postcard-perfect, golden sands of Reduit Beach on the western coast of Saint Lucia. Then there’s the floating water park, the only one of its kind on the island. It’s just minutes from the island’s culinary and entertainment hub in Rodney Bay. And it’s home to some of the most authentic, friendliest places to stay in the Caribbean.

This is the Bay Gardens Resorts portfolio, the locally-owned, authenticity-focused collection of hotels centered around Rodney Bay, from the beachfront Bay Gardens Beach Resort to Water’s Edge, Saint Lucia’s top villa resort (with another one in the pipeline).

If you want a real Lucian experience, delivered with a smile and the perfectly-served Bounty rum cocktail, this is for you.

It’s one of our favorite collections of resorts anywhere in the Caribbean; every time we’ve stayed at one of the Bay Gardens properties we’ve enjoyed a unique, warm, hospitality-driven experience, and it just seems to be getting better.

The program applies to all five Bay Gardens properties.

You can also stay at Bay Gardens on the company’s pioneering all-inclusive program, one that includes the cutting-edge “dine around” option that lets you actually get out and explore the area, have dinner at a local restaurant and do so while staying on your all-inclusive plan.

That’s the kind of creative approach to hospitality you get there — and right now, there’s another big reason to visit: a huge Black Friday sale going on right now.

You can get up to 50 percent off your hotel stay at a Bay Gardens property when you book between Nov. 29 and Dec. 4.

It’s an exemplary family-owned resort collection.

That includes 30 percent off stays of three nights; 40 percent off five night stays and, if you stay for seven nights or more, you get 50 percent off.

Even better? The program applies to all meal plans, whether you want a traditional room stay, daily breakfast, or the full all-inclusive option.

It applies to all five Bay Gardens resorts: the Bay Gardens Beach Resort, Bay Gardens Inn, Bay Gardens Marina Haven; Bay Gardens Hotel and Water’s Edge Villas.
