ST. Lucia is one of the most expensive islands
that we have ever visited. It is more
expensive than Grand Cayman and not near
as must fun. The people come in two types --
the few that will bend over backwards to help
you and all the others that only hound you for
money.
It is one of the most beautiful islands that we
have visited but that is about all they have to
offer.
Oasis is built on the side of a hill and must be
reached via water taxi that is not free. Once
on the resort you are more or less a captive
and they charge double for the pleasure.
There is a small restaurant across the bay that
is must less expensive. They also charge
extra for the airconditioning. Your choice -- the
mosquitoes or the airconditioning. The Cable
Car up to the units does not work all the time
and forces a climb of about 175 steps (10
stories). This resort is not for the faint-of-
heart or the impared. Since we visited in the
OFF season most activities were closed most
of the day and not available.
In traveling around the island, we found that
many local restaurants had extensive menus
but only offered locally grown CHICKEN or ham
sandwiches. We were surprised that we could
not get good and inexpensive fish at most
restaurants. Most everyting is
The "Drive in Volcano" and many of the
waterfalls are joke. Nearly everything else is a
LONG drive away. Most of the roads are good
but dangerous. We will never go back St
Lucia, we will stick to other islands like
Tobago, ST Vincent, Bequi, Caymans, etc.
