- Full walk throuhg starts at 40 seconds! We just got back from our stay at the Coconut Bay beach resort in St Lucia. In this video we give you a full tour and review of this all inclusive beach front resort. We loved that the resort hired local people as staff and it really made it feel like home. Marvious, Marz and the entire entertainment crew really made this a vacation to remember.
Spent a week here back in July, loved it! thanks for taking me back! :)
Such a relaxing trip! We were there in July too!
Wow the walk thru at 40 sec. Was perfect.
Thank you! hope that intro wasn't to long!
Thanks for the review. We’re going in March so really looking forward to it.
Jealous! Wish we were heading back to paradise!
Great job on this video. Thanks for all the information.
Glad to help!
I dont usually comment but what a great review.. really! Thanks a lot
Thank you. We are hoping to be able to do more of this! Resorts like this really deserve a full in depth honest review and we hope to be able to give that.
I went there in 2006, was the best holiday I've ever had, my parents are still friends with some off the staff that work there still now. If we could go bac, we would in a heartbeat!
The local people are who made it for sure!
My parents took me there in 2017 loved it amazing staff, good food and had lots of stuff to do, I enjoyed it! I wanted to cry when I was leaving there.
We didn't want to leave either!
Going to st lucia with my fiancé for honeymoon next February, thank you for this video, very informative!👍
hope you have a great time!
Loved this review and was especially interested in your gluten free experience. I have 2 celiacs in my family. Anything else you can share about the dining experience aside from Seaside not having many GF options?
Glad to help! I wish we had done more gluten free info at the time, but trying to remember back. I believe that most of the options were just a non breaded thing, so a burger without a bun. I don't remember if they were willing to make fries separately (its eating actual wheat that bugs us the most so we didn't ask about fries). I think it would be worth calling them and asking, celiac is much more serious then we are and I wouldn't want to steer you into an unpleasant vacation. Sorry to not be much help!
What do you have to pay for, as I have heard some positives on this being a premium all inclusive, however were all restaurants included, or do you pay for a supplement and of cause the spa treatments?
The spa treatments are an optional extra fee, and the restaurant we show on the water is not included. Other then that drinks, most restaurants and everything else is included.
Hello! My wife and I are going there very soon! I hear that there is not a lot of bars that have premium liquor? Is this true and do they have domestic beer such as Bud Light, Heineken Light and so on?
@@captnsafety8294 Hi Tim, to be honest we are not the right people to ask about premium liquor, we were very satisfied with what the bars did have, and there is also a liquor store on the property (upstairs lobby) I do believe they had Domestic beer, but their beach drinks were amazing and we stuck to them. may I suggest a to much sun from the beach bar 😀 Get ready for a nice relaxing vacation!
Hello I’m going on a honeymoon there in the serenity side of the resort. I want to know how you guys did the excursion. Are they going to be scheduling everything from ATvs tour to Zipling in the northern side of the island? I want to also go in the local market to experience the local foods. Will they be taking us? How can we go about booking excursions? Should I book ahead of time?
Congrats! We booked our excursion through the excursions desk in the lobby of the resort. They planned everything for the excursion, all we had to do was get in the van. You are able to call a cab from the resort to take you into town if you'd like. We had good luck booking once we were at the resort but I don't know if that's always the case.
Thank you so much! Such a great in depth tour. I am looking forward to coming here. This video is the one who pushed me to book. Such a relaxing place!!
Hi, I’m going to coconut bay in December. How much tip did you give extra to staff? And was it at the end of your stay that you tipped?
Super jealous! It's been a little while so I don't remember exactly what we did, but we did start a tradition on this trip to choose one staff member that made our trip excellent and give them a higher tip. Sorry not much help here...
How do you make reservations 48 hours in advance? Can you call and schedule reservations before your trip?
You are asking about restaurant reservations correct? We didn't realize it before we were at the resort, so maybe, but we just went to that desk in the morning and they set us up. If calling before you arrive I believe their 48hr policy would apply so you'd have to call day of arrival and such.
What month did you go? Our honeymoon is in November there and I heard that is still in the “wet” season
Congratulations! We were there in July, it was not bad at all.
@@b.e.adventurers thank you for the reply! Awesome then, I’m looking forward to it! Looked gorgeous.
The beach looks so clear! My sister is there now and says theres lots of seaweed. I know its beyond the hotels control but did you notice the same?
Yes, We mentioned in the video about the seaweed surrounding the Caribbean and being on the beach, it differed a lot day to day so hopefully she gets some good cleaner days to enjoy the water!
@Collin Klein Really? Interesting, I wonder if it just happens every couple years or if its a yearly thing then.
Thank u. I am considering this resort
It was a great spot!
Can you take drinks while floating on the lazy river?
@@BJKappler I believe you can!
Unfortunately the beach is infested with seaweed rot and flies. The Atlantic too rough to swim. We were disappointed.
Sorry to hear that, The crew was doing their best to keep the beach clear last year, unfortunately Mother nature has a mind of her own!
Former "Halcyon Days". I was there when I was 7.
awesome!
Good and comprehensive review. What were the covid restrictions, if any?
As far as things being shut down due to covid I don't remember anything being shut down. Masks were required indoors and when ordering food and test were provided to go home. Other then that it was normal.
@@b.e.adventurers how much did you pay for the coved test to come back home?
Was the ocean clean or full of seaweed?
There was seaweed when we went. All of the Caribbean has had seaweed issues for the last couple years.
is the water clear? Or near clear?
yes its beautiful water, just maybe not quite as calm as you'd expect.
How about the "Piton Snow" ?
Didn't hear about that!
Hey cool
Its a great spot!
Water is so not swimmable
We spent a lot of time out in the water. but if you want the calm Caribbean seas this might not be the best spot.
