Odkryj pobyt w mieście Choc

We have recently got back from a fantastic relaxing week at the lovely adults-only Bel Jou hotel. The location, grounds, pools, food, drink and entertainment were all great, especially the BBQ night, but as countless others have said, it is the staff that make this place truly special and gives it a feeling of luxury that far exceeds its official three-star rating. Without exception, all the staff we met were genuinely friendly, polite and efficient, and consistently went out of their way to make everyone feel welcome and special. Everywhere was spotlessly clean and well maintained. The hotel is quite small so there is a fairly limited choice of food, but everything we had was good quality and excellently prepared, with some fruit and vegetables sourced from the hotel’s garden, I believe. However, we would have liked a bit more choice of local Caribbean dishes. The wine, beer and cocktails were all very good, but the local spirits and mixers took a bit of getting used to, although after a couple of days we didn’t really notice any more, and they certainly had the desired effect. The service in the bars and restaurants was excellent with our wine glasses being regularly topped up without having to ask, which again contributed to the overall feeling of pampering and luxury. There were plenty of sunbeds so there was none of the usual dawn scramble to reserve sunbeds that were then not used for the rest of the day, which made it very relaxing and strangely satisfying to be able to be able to wander down to the pool at pretty much any time of day and find somewhere nice to sit. We both had a lovely one-hour massage in the Sugar Cane Spa. The hotel is set in lovely gardens on a steep hillside with great views over Castries, but there are a lot of steps that might make it less suitable for anyone with mobility issues. We met some lovely people and would love to go back again next year.
