“Fantastic”

3/3 found this review helpful

We stayed for 2 weeks in the Discovery during August. The hotel was perfect from the start - an iced cocktail on arrival at the hotel lodge while our bags were whisked away by the porter. We were then escorted to our bay view room perched on the hillside, with a view of the marina, bay and surrounding hills. The hotel was fairly empty (busier over winter) but this suited us because the staff were very attentive and could not do enough for us. Vanessa the concierge was very helpful in arranging yacht hire and water taxis. The hotel was a very good base from which to get water taxis up and down the island (forget driving - water taxis are the best way to get around). Recommend 1. chartering a yacht to Soufriere for snorkelling and sunset view on the sail back to Marigot Bay 2. lunch at Ladera overlooking the Pitons. 3. bathing in hot springs at Soufriere. 4. Fish Friday at Anse la Raye (via a water taxi speeding over the bay under the moonlight was a highlight) and 5. Rainforest zip-lining. The hotel has an excellent spa (Mrs.R was very content). We were upgraded to a full suite in the 2nd week after a minor leak in our bathroom was discovered. The bay has a couple of great restaurants (Rainforest Hideaway is special) but the Discovery has the choice of an excellent restaurant or the Hurricane Hole bar. I don't say this often about hotels but I would definitely return to this place.

“Perfect for relaxing”

Discovery at Marigot Bay

Save Review
5 of 5 stars
The Cotswolds, UK
Mar 16, 2008

We have just come back from spending 12 days at Discovery, and had a really relaxing time there. We stayed in a 1 bed Bayview Suite, which I would recommend if you are used to 5*
accommodation. We did not experience any problems with reserving Sun Beds etc, or with the quality of food. The Staff were all excellent, and so very friendly, they all seemed to enjoy their work and would do everything they could to satisfy you. My husband went fishing one day and caught a 10lb king fish, he brought it back to the Hotel, and Frederic the Chef, prepared it, and cooked it for Dinner and also Lunch the next day. He even took the time to write out the recipe for me as it was so delicious, thank you Frederic, you are a star!!!!! All this as well as cooking and organising the food for the Govenor's reception for Prince Charles and Camilla.

The Management were very visible, and we met the new Manager Jayson, who has got some terrific ideas for the Resort, we shall look forward to experiencing these next time we visit.
Jayson, we look forward to arriving by Seaplane from the main Airport, although a Luxury Boat would be equally welcome!!

We found Discovery to be a very relaxing resort, and highly recommend it..

1/1 found this review helpful

We revisited Discovery for 10 days, having stayed there first in October 2007.

Simply, this is a remarkably good hotel in terms of setting, rooms, facilities, food and drinks. Certainly, the best of many that we have visited in the Caribbean, including Sandy Lane in Barbados. The level of service is impeccable.

We have recommended Discovery to family and friends - all have loved it as much as we have.

It may not be the best place for families due to the layout of the hotel with many steps to some of the rooms, nor might it appeal to those seeking a more resort type atmosphere with constant entertainment. As a romantic, relaxing getaway in exceptional surroundings, it is impossible to fault.

Undoubtedly, we will return.

“Disappointing Service..”

Discovery at Marigot Bay

1/1 found this review helpful

Me and a friend travelled to St. Lucia for a quick exploration of the island and we thought that Marigot Bay could have been the best post to start our trip. The bay is really beautiful (supposedly one of the most charming anchorage point of the Caribbeans!) and the hotel is very nice and modern with very good facility.. Unfortunately the service was all over the place (people forgetting about every request including restaurant reservations and taxi..) and we had to struggle to organise trips from there to the rest of the island (concierge available only from 9am to 5pm). I think it is the perfect spot for people looking for some relax and not many excursions etc.. Otherwise you may want to try something else. Also, notice that the beach at the bay is not the best you can get in the island and can be reached just through a complimentary 2-minute boat service.

“Great rooms but needs work”

4/4 found this review helpful

Our family stayed at Discovery in January. Many of the staff were really trying hard and were very helpful. The rooms are fantastic, the suites even have a very well equipped kitchen and the bathrooms are large and fantastic. The housemaids do an excellent job. However there is not a lot to do at the resort, the beach is small and not very good and the snorkeling is poor. The breakfast (included) is not up to standard for the room price. On the last night we were given our bill, for an amount far more than the agreed (rack) rate and when queried initially were told it would have to be sorted out in the morning. It took some insistence for them to deal with and fix that problem that night. The pool area does not have enough lounges in the sun and suffers from the problem (common to many resort hotels) or people "reserving" lounges for long periods even though they are not present.
