Great Vacation

This is a 3 star hotel with 4 star staff and food. On the minus side, food was only available during meal times ( no snacks), on the plus side, the food was great. It was plentiful, well cooked and well seasoned. For lunch I usually just had the soup and sandwich (made fresh and grilled). While there were no organized activities that one may find at a larger resort, the beach was nice to walk on, Pigeon Island was close by, and the town was a 10min walk away. All the staff were friendly and help [... read more]ful.

Very good resort!

|The hotel was kept very clean. The washrooms within the hotel are nice and very clean. The one near the pool area needs a little sprucing up. The rooms are very clean, a good size with a big balconies but we did not have a dresser in the room, we mentioned it to the front desk and within the same day, they brought one to the room. The restaurant is beautiful by the seaside but I wish they had a snack bar throughout the day.

The only issue I had was the distance from the airport to the hotel...it takes 1.5 hours to get there and the roads are very winding so if you are prone to motion sickness/car sickness you better come prepared!

Rex St Lucia Resort

The first you need to know is the hotel is 90 minutes away from the airport. The drive can make you sick if you are subject to motion sickness,which I am. The staff at the Rex are the friendlies and most helpful. The accommodation are cleaned every day. There is only one main buffet restaurant on the complex with server great food. There is on a-la-cart restaurant which is called the Oriental you need to make a reservation. The beach is about 3 KM long and is good to walk, when the cruise ships  [... read more]come into the capital Castries the Cruise Liners bring the customers to this beach. You will know at 07:00 AM the day when they except the Cruise Liners because the beach is very active getting ready for the new arrivals (setting up beach chairs). The food is very good, if you have dietary needs the staff will take care of you needs. From the moment you arrive at the hotel till you leave you will find the staff very professional. They try to help every one but we all know some travelers are just not satisfied with anything, they always look for the negative. Say hello to the bar staff when you go Timothy,Allison,Edmund, the did a great job. This is a great place to visit we recommended the Rex we traveled from January 05 2015 to January 19 2015, J.

Overall impression

Quite satisfactory about food, front desk and general services. However, the bathtub drainage in our room was very slow, although the issue was brought to the attention of the hotel. No improvement was made. Another drawback was the seadoo and speed boats cruising around TOO close to the swimmer area. This is dangerous. That said the resort is ideal for older people who want a quiet environment plus carefree meal plan. I will return to the resort.

Very well located

Old hotel, normal food but what a great location. Perfect to take the local bus and visit all around. Nice local bars and restaurants nearby with a big grocery. Locals are not too much to bother with. When a cruise ship is in the port you might get alot of new friends on the beach.
