Stolen Time checked off all of our boxes for our vacation. Service was excellent from all members of the staff. The staff were friendly and remembered your name, The rooms were comfortable, not that you spent a lot of time in the room. The beach was beautiful and the loungers were plentiful. The beach service was outstanding, meeting any need you had with a beautiful smile. The pool was lovey, enjoyed the swim up bar. We enjoyed eating at the Terrace and loved the Malabar restaurant. We a[... read more]lso ate at the Thyme restaurant several times and throughly enjoyed the excellent food. The theme dinners that were offered were fun and delicious. Lots of activities were available. Many amenities were available, including the gym, a small library above the gym, and the boutique which had a lovely assortment of souvenirs and clothing. The Terrace bar was a lovely place to relax before dinner. The Champagne Bar was a unique experience and a great way to meet people.
An absolutely fantastic stay at Stolen Time in St Lucia.

Perfection!
We absolutely loved everything about this place! From the gorgeous beachfront location to the outstanding service and delicious food, we couldn’t have asked for a better week. There were some issues with the hot water for a few days but even that doesn’t change my review. This place is worth every penny.

We'll Be Back!
Stolen Time is a wonderful resort. It features many positives. It's small and intimate; it's quiet and relaxing; the food is excellent (both buffet and a la carte); the staff are friendly and helpful; the beach and water are incredible. The staff were very much on the ball. We desired for nothing! There was always a drink available, a clean towel ready...and the overall cleanliness and upkeep of the resort was top notch! If this sounds appealing, then Stolen Time may just be the place for you!

ROOM
My fiance and I stayed in a Premium Beachfront room. It had a traditional Caribbean look and feel (note; this resort is not modern...keep that in mind if it's important to you). It was sizeable with a comfortable bed and a huge bathroom. Feather or memory foam pillows are available (just ask the concierge). Next time we want to try the poolside suites...but really, given the size of the resort you cannot go wrong with any of the rooms.
FOOD
The food was great with a nice variety available. Even though there are only three restaurants on the resort, the menu is ever changing. You will not get bored. I also appreciated that common food allergens were clearly stated. There was nothing that I wished they had. They had it all.
ACTIVITIES
There are a ton of activities available, but never forced upon you. You can really do as much or as little as you want. It seemed that most people were content to just sit on the beautiful beach (us included). We did go for a spa treatment that was wonderful. Otherwise we just kinda hung out!
STORM
We were on the resort as Tropical Storm Bret made landfall. I cannot say enough about the staff's preparedness and calm in literally weathering the storm. I did not question for one second that they had everything under control. I also appreciated that they had additional indoor activities ready to go for when we were no longer able to lounge on the beach. It was a LOOOONG day and night for the staff that stayed on the resort. They worked extremely hard and I am grateful for their efforts.
THE ONLY THING....
...potentially negative is that it is a long drive (90 minutes) from the airport on extremely narrow and windy roads. It's a nauseating drive for anyone with a hint of motion sickness. On the positive side, you do get to see a lot of the beautiful countryside on the drive!
OVERALL
I plan on coming back. It's truly a magical place.

Peace and Quiet
The Rendezvous is a great place if you want that true get away and being taken care of! The property is small, beautifully landscaped and well maintained. What made this place special was the high quality food in all three restaurants and the staff. Some of the staff asked your name and greeted you as a friend which made the stay really enjoyable. There was plenty of organized actives if you wanted to participate or if you wanted to sit at the pool or beach and have someone serve you drinks ([... read more] fruit, popsicles, coconuts ect..) all day, you had lots of options. The Rendezvous is about an hour and 15 mins drive away from the main airport on a roller-coaster road. It is about a 10 min easy walk to the cruise port of Castries if you are into local shopping. The property is at the end of the local small airport strip ( about 5-8 planes a day). The average age of the guests is about 60-75yrs old so if you are under 30 this is not for you. Our favorite was the Champagne Bar which was open from 7-8pm so it was fun to meet other guests and have a dinner reservation at 8pm.

Wonderful resort
We recently spent our honeymoon at the Rendezvous Resort. From the moment we arrived the service was amazing. We were escorted to the lounge area where we were given cold towels and champagne on ice. There were no long line ups to register. Our luggage was waiting for us in our room when we were ready to go up. The service all week was perfect. From drink service around the pool to turn down service at night. The food was prepared fresh at the a la carte restaurants and was delicious. Staff were[... read more] very friendly and the grounds were emaculate. It was an incredible week that we will always remember!

Amazing staff---but....
Can not say enough about the staff at the Rendezvous, we met some amazing people, who truly went out of their way to make our holiday a great one. From the check in, which is unique ( no belly up to the front desk here, seated , greeted, and your relaxation starts there ) to every person from the gardener to repair person to the wait staff and all through with a friendly " hi, how are you? enjoying yourself?". We have been to many all inclusive resorts from mid to upper levels and by far, the st[... read more]aff here rate the highest. The food as well, even though the Rendezvous has a limited amount of restaurant's, the food we rank as one of the best. The resort itself is in great condition, and includes 2 pools, one being a pool bar, the other quieter in front of the spa. They have 6 hidden spots for couples to hide out and relax, in front of a pool of running water. (nice touch for peace and quiet). There is a good selection of things to do during the day and almost all is included.
Unfortunately this is where things stop being amazing.
We could see why this is rated as a 4.5 star and not a 5, these things may not be a big deal to everyone, and truly do not make or break a holiday, but should be noted.
The resort is very close to the city of Castries and the airport.
We had a Premium Garden View room on the second floor, these rooms have their entrance to the room facing the city and the entrance to the resort, there is a sliding patio door facing the garden on the other side.. As much as they are clean and fairly well kept, they are small, very small, There is a mini fridge in the room, stocked only with a single decanter bottle of water, nothing else, no other drinks no snacks, not even sure whey the fridge was there. We noted that there was a large amount of city noise from these rooms, woken up at night to car alarms, sirens, beeping cars, at all times of night. Speaking to another couple, they were on the first floor, where there is only an entrance to the room via the sliding door, blocking out the city noise from the other side. Even on the resort, there is somewhere in the area of 10 planes flying over you each day, and in a few locations on the resort ,city sounds and sirens can be heard.It is possible that the higher end rooms were quieter and bigger.
There is a lack of "top shelf" alcohol here, once again giving it a lower rating than a 5 star resort.
Nightly entertainment, is usually a local band, and not much else to do here at night, but relax.
The beach is nothing great, the waters were not clear and while we were there, very ruff the entire week, but the beach and sand were clean. They had plenty of lounges on the beach and at both pools, so finding a spot to lay out was never a problem. ( an advantage to a smaller resort ).
Over all it was a great time there, with minor short comings.

The grounds were beautifully kept.
Plans from the adjacent airport flew over several times a day but my wife and I enjoyed watching them.

A true paradise !!!
This was my first holiday in the Caribbean's. It was truly amazing. We arrived on a Saturday December 20th and left Saturday dec 27th. This was an experience of a lifetime.
The rooms were gorgeous. We had the beachfront ocean view rooms. The view was beautiful and the cleanliness was spectacular. It was our honeymoon so the little things like lighting candles on our bed side and putting a chocolate on our pillow was the cherry on top to a romantic evening.
This beach was beautiful. My husband an[... read more]d I really enjoyed sailing, tubing and water skiing. The activity staff especially Shane were amazing! Such great helpful people.
The food was delicious. Every night I over ate cause it was too good to take a little! Hehe The servers , especially Trisha, Ashley and Trevor, always went out of their ways to make sure our stay was unforgettable.
St Lucia was everything I could imagine it being . Thanks to rendezvous and their wonderful staff and resort. I would recommend this escort to everyone !! It was so relaxing and entertaining !! I can't wait to return!
