The Saga-owned Bel Jou Hotel on the wonderful island of St Lucia has a great hilltop setting with tropical surroundings and fantastic views over Castries and the Caribbean Sea.

Perhaps take part in an optional evening sunset cruise, where you can enjoy complimentary rum punch and soft drinks along with tasty finger foods and the pulsating sounds of the live steel band.

The outdoor pool at Bel Jou is perfect for a quick dip, or you can simply laze in the sun on the terrace enjoying a drink from the pool bar and the views over the ocean.

Possibly the most picturesque of the Caribbean islands, St Lucia features abundant natural beauty culminating in the south with the majestic twin-peaks of Les Pitons mountains.

There is a free shuttle bus which runs four times a day to Castries, approximately 15 minutes away, and beyond to Rodney Bay and Pigeon Island. The island is a historic site with numerous forts such as an 18th century British fort and Fort Rodney. In 1979 it was named a national park and again in 1992 it became a national landmark under the control of the Saint Lucia National Trust.
