Rendezvous

At a glance

Rendezvous is an up-scale all-inclusive Caribbean hotel resort set in the north of St Lucia that is designed especially for couples. It sits in magnificent gardens on a lovely, two mile stretch of beach just outside Castries, the capital, and it uses the best of its setting to fulfil its brief of ‘the romantic holiday’, in which everything is designed for couples to spend time together. As a hundred room resort with plenty of activity, the atmosphere is fairly upbeat, but there are many corners in the gardens where you can tuck yourself away in low key tranquillity if that’s your mood. The facilities are extensive, though. There is a spa with a beauty salon, extensive watersports and some land-based sports. Rendezvous manages to lift itself above the limitations of the typical all-inclusive formula, and it does well on its brief as a honeymoon or a romantic break. And it can also arrange a wedding in case the moment comes for that.
