Blogger Takes on Coconut Bay
February 7th, 2010Another Blogger has found there way down to St Lucia. This time around she visited the large, split, couple and family friendly resort of ‘Coconut Bay’ in the south of the island. I have personally never been there, so let’s see what Miss Ross has to say about it:

Coconut Bay Beach Resort and Spa

I locked myself out of my house the other day. This would not have been that much of a problem had there not been about three inches of the snow on the ground, had it not been breath-takingly cold and had any of my neighbors been home.
.
Finally, I located the other lone work-at-home individual and he was kind enough to let me use his phone. It was at that point that I realized I didn’t know anyone’s phone number. They were all in my cell phone. In my house. Ah. The joys of technology!
.
I finally figured everything out and decided to shovel my walk while I waited for my daughter to come and let me in. And it was while I was lifting up shovels full of snow, my breath steaming in the frosty air and my toes buried deep in wool socks and snow boots that my mind drifted, picturing my toes in quite another location.

At this moment, as I write this post, the temperature in St. Lucia is 88 degrees Fahrenheit. A balmy tropical breeze is probably blowing. And frozen margaritas are being served as individuals lounge on beach chairs by a turquoise colored ocean. You could be one of those individuals. And I have just the resort to suggest. The perfect resort for your family, as a matter of fact.
.
Coconut Bay Beach Resort and Spa in Vieux Fort, St. Lucia is the perfect place to head for a winter getaway or spring break. Situated on St. Lucia’s picturesque south side, overlooking the gorgeous Atlantic Ocean and a perfectly groomed white sand beach, this resort is uniquely designed to be perfect for couples or families.
.
One half of the resort is designed for adults. Harmony is Coconut Bay’s adults-only wing offering the perfect setting for a tranquil escape. With a fabulous pool and pool bar surrounded by tropical vegetation and chaises, hammocks and intimate cabana beds; the relaxing ocean front Kai Mer Spa and long, quiet stretches of beach, this haven is truly the place to relax and rejuvenate. The fourth floor rooms were recently upgraded and include mini-fridges and flat screen televisions, so even spending time in your room is a pleasure.

But the other half is considerately designed for families and would be perfect for that spring break from school vacation you are considering. The Splash wing of the resort features colorful rooms which face the ocean and overlook the CocoLand Water Park. This unusual and distinctive water park (St. Lucia’s largest water park) features a lazy river and large slides, a huge family pool and the beautiful Atlantic beach.

The Kidz Klub is just steps from Splash and features a colorful water play area, an expansive fenced outdoor play area and an air-conditioned playroom.
.
CocoLand’s lazy river and waterslides provide the ultimate in water fun for kids. The Coconut Cannon is the fastest slide and is enclosed for a thrill ride. The Coconut Coaster offers twists and turns before a drop into the plunge pool and a quick slip down another slide. When they are ready for a little bit easier experience, the lazy river takes tubers on an easy coast around various turns and exhilarating waterfalls.

CocoLand may very well be part of the best vacation your kids will ever have. It also includes the Kidz Klub, where youngsters will enjoy a supervised water playground, arts and crafts, games, nature trails, outdoor expeditions, a club house, air-conditioned napping quarters, and even more fun activities. This area just for kids is educational, interactive and fun, with a range of completely supervised activities for children ages 3-14. This wonderful resort even offers a complete curriculum designed by education professionals in the US which can give your kids not only an active vacation but a memorable learning experience as well.
.
They haven’t forgotten about the preteens when designing this kid-friendly area. They can experience wild times on the water slides in addition to a program which adds in physical and educational challenges, island awareness and exploration, eco-activities and hikes over some of the property’s 85 acres. These older kids will feel like contestants on “Survivor” as they experience trials which are exciting and stimulating. They will participate in team games on the field or in the water, problem solving puzzles and get to see some of St. Lucia’s natural terrain and wildlife.

Kids of all ages will receive a complimentary CocoPack upon arrival, then as they participate in the various CocoLand Kidz Klub activities, they will receive a different gift to complete their CocoPack: a T-shirt, bag, hat, mini scrapbook and water bottle and more!
.
One of the best things about Coconut Bay Beach Resort And Spa is that it is an all-inclusive resort. I personally love staying at an all-inclusive because you can relax, knowing all your vacation expenses are paid before you ever arrive. This is especially wonderful when you are planning and budgeting for a family vacation.
.
The all-inclusive plan at Coconut Bay Beach Resort And Spa with Vacation Express and The Travel Authority includes your accommodations, full breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks each day at a choice of three restaurants plus a beach grill; unlimited beverages at a choice of five bars including a swim-up bar; complete resort fitness center; tennis center with 4 courts; the fully supervised children’s activities program and Kidz Klub and water features play area; daily entertainment program with a variety of land activities; theme water park attraction plus three swimming pools including an adults only pool; outdoor whirlpool; evening entertainment and theme nights; and a weekly Manager’s cocktail party. All hotel taxes and gratuities are included.

What else can you possibly need?
