2023 Travelers' Choice Best of the Best
Nestled in the sheltered bay of Bonaire Estate, Calabash Cove Resort & Spa is one of just a select few full-service, boutique luxury resorts in St. Lucia, perched on a hillside sloping gently towards the Caribbean Sea, where cool ocean breezes provide a wonderful respite and the turquoise sea is offset by the vibrant green of tropical vegetation and views of Walcott Island. A private beach and nearby coral reef provide the perfect place to rest, reflect and dream. The resort has been designed with great care to complement and exist in harmony with the beauty of the natural surroundings. The natural elements of earth, wind, light and water are represented in the exotic wood, stone and natural materials used in the composition of the buildings. The peaceful and tranquil gardens, under the care of one of the finest landscape architects in the Caribbean, have been created to capture the natural splendor of the area and are filled with vibrant, fragrant flowers set amid groves of trees.

Hotel's Favorite
This review is actually almost a year old as my wife and I got married at Calabash Cove last summer. Rohan from start to finish was amazing, from the pre-planning to the playing of the wedding songs to ensuring everything was flawless. Thank you my friend. Patrick, our pool bartender turned lifelong friend not only made amazing drinks, but made amazing suggestions when exploring the island off site. I believe he’s on a cruise currently, can’t wait to see you again my friend. We had villa number nine which was the most secluded. Plunge pool, cleaning staff, room amazing. The staff, food and the drinks were incredible, every daily special blew us away. Small beach, but decent snorkeling. It was still during Covid so the fitness center was small and the spa isn’t your typical “Vegas strip blow you away” facility. However, we had massages on the beach and they were some of the best we’ve ever experienced. When you drive up to the property and step out of the vehicle, you know you have arrived because it’s one of the most breathtaking views you will ever see. We made friends at the pool bar who cheered us on during the wedding ceremony which was completely unexpected and wonderful. The morning of the wedding, this staff literally wove different trees on the property into the archway that we said our vows under. The wedding photographer made a recording of the pics and the drone video, they are hanging up everywhere in our home, he made the photos look fake they were so breathtaking, We have done multiple all inclusive’s on St Lucia. You can’t beat the staff, the food, the drinks, or the accommodations at Calabash Cove.…

We stayed here for 4 nights on our 10 year wedding anniversary trip and we would absolutely stay here again. The views when you first walk into the lobby are absolutely breathtaking and never stop from there. We stayed in Waters Edge cottage #5 and we would request the same one again. Some of the cottages are joined to another cottage, but this one was by itself. We think it had the most privacy + best beach access out of the cottages. It’s a bit more expensive but worth it. The only downside to the room is that the living room area and bathroom is open air. This made both areas very hot and allowed bugs in the room. The actual bedroom itself had ac which was great, but we were confined to a small space. This was the only thing that kept this resort from being five stars for us. The cottages have a private pool which we used a ton and you can hear the waves and you’re almost right on the beach. The beach itself is very private and the resort doesn’t allow kids so if you love to relax, enjoy a good book/drink and chill, this is the spot for you. One other issue we had is that the resort allows for day passes onto the beach and pretty much every day people not staying at the resort would come and be loud and bring a totally different vibe we didn’t appreciate. The restaurant was good, which is a good thing because there’s only 1! JR is the restaurant manager and we enjoyed his conversation and coffee every morning. If you’re thinking about staying here, just do it!…

A beautiful, romantic bespoke resort experience. The service is impeccable. Housekeeping, room service, bell services requests were all with quick and kind response. The views are stunning from your perched position on the hillside looking over the Caribbean Sea. No need to get to the beach early for chairs, there are plenty with views for everyone. The Windsong restaurant serves up delicious local cuisines. I had sweet potato coconut soup that was to die for. Every room has a Nesspresso machine and fully stocked bar with plenty of mixers in the fridge. I love that they use flasks for water requests to be eco friendly. We had a cottage and it was so amazing. Dark Caribbean carved woods, beautiful bedded king with mosquito netting..I felt like a princess. Private plunge pool, a hammock, comfy sunbed, library, and outdoor/indoor shower plus jetted tub. The flowers, birds and butterflies were everywhere. We are definitely going back!!…

We stayed there for 2 nights as part of our honeymoon, and it was an AMAZING stay! From the very beginning, we were escorted into their beautiful open air lobby with an AMAZING view of the grounds, pool, and the Caribbean sea and given a delicious welcome drink, The staff there are really chill and welcoming! The resort is just otherworldly. Clean, amazing fresh breezes, gorgeous tropical flowers everywhere, the constant song of birds and either beautiful instrumentals or live music setting the mood every night. Our room was gigantic and the jacuzzi was a fun touch as well. The pool was so gorgeous and really refreshing after a long day to swim and watch the sunset! DEFINITELY eat a few meals at the restaurant. The view is to die for and the food was the best we had in St. Lucia! We loved the ribeye steak, pork chops, the tuna poke amuse-bouche they sent out, the soursop cheesecake, creme brulee, and basically EVERYTHING else they served. After eating there on the first night we cancelled basically all our other plans to dine out so we could eat there again lol. Note that a collared shirt and closed toed shoes are required for men so make sure to plan ahead and pack one! Get the free breakfast if you can because their breakfast menu is extensive and you just want to keep eating the awesome hot entrees, pastries, juice, coffee and espresso drinks. The calabash benedict was BOMB and the best saltfish we had on the island! We checked out some of the amenties like the beach, it was beautiful and tranquil! The water however is too murky for snorkeling, but we really enjoyed kayaking!…

I do not write reviews on here very often but I wanted to say that we had a fabulous stay at Calabash Cove. We loved our days on the lovely beach after enjoying breakfast on our balcony with stunning views. The food was always excellent and the staff so pleasant. A wonderful trip.

Amazing service, great relaxation, beautiful beach, and great food. We loved Travis behind the bar, Ted was always a joy, and Shanelle was extremely helpful at the restaurant. You really don’t need to leave the resort and time will simply fly by! They were extra careful to make sure you would relax and let them care for you!

We had the most amazing stay at Calabash Cove! We traveled to St. Lucia with friends and enjoyed a wonderful week. The grounds are immaculate, the food and drinks amazing (we did the all-inclusive option), and the staff are excellent and made our week fun, carefree, and feel like we were surrounded by friends. We loved that this is a smaller and more intimate resort. You really get to know the staff and they get to know you and it adds a unique personal touch that you just don’t get at the larger resorts (such as your favorite pool songs, and drinks). The beach area was wonderful with stand up paddle boards and kayaks available to use all day as well as snorkel gear. There were always plenty of space and covered lounges at the beach. The swim up bar was fun and we loved catching the sunsets from the infinity pool. All of the rooms have amazing views, we loved the swim out room! We also enjoyed massages under the beautiful gazebo and the half-day private catamaran excursion that was offered through Calabash Cove (highly recommend!). Thanks for all the staff that made our week so memorable and truly a paradise (Travis, Luanne, JR, Ashton, Little Rock, Shanelle, Daniel, Kevin, and JD just to name a few!)!…

We stayed in a Waterfront Villa at Calabash Cove for several days on our Honeymoon. Calabash was a more moderately priced* interlude for us between two of the more expensive St Lucia resorts. * at least by honeymoon standards Arrival: There's a really great, striking reception area on the way in and the greeting with a cocktail was warm. Room: The waterfront villas are lovely, with the air conditioned bedroom, outdoor shower and lovely terrace with hammock and pool - I don't think the photos on the website do it justice. - Maintenance: There were a few maintenance issues in the room on arrival that I didn't think the resort would be able to solve during our stay but they were very eager to try and fix them for us and managed to resolve: A very creaky bed (we woke each other up just moving in the night), a broken grille at the bottom of the pool and an air conditioner that was missing a fin to focus the air. - Privacy: These cottages are *somewhat* private. They're overlooked by people walking on some of the paths or in some areas users of the beach and in the particular cottage we had (cottage 2) there's a veranda/pagoda outside where they'd do outdoor massages and special 'private dinners' in the evenings for other guests. We overlooked the massages and dinners and they overlooked us which took away from the sense of privacy that we'd really have liked for our honeymoon. Beach Area: Is really nice, good sun loungers and enormous sun shades. There were 3 kayaks and some paddle boards available as well as a 'lily pad' in the water for you to lie on. It's great that there's service in this area as well so we could get drinks and eat there. Service: I felt that quality of service was pretty variable in the resort unfortunately. Most of the staff I interacted with were great, especially Luanne (sp?) on the serving team. Throughout it seemed like the resort was understaffed, a lady was being trained on the service desk who was very abrupt but was dealing with requests solo anyway (so perhaps needed a little more training) and the beach-side service wasn't available on one of the days because more training was taking place. - I hate singling out individual staff members but the lady who brought room service food to us really didn't seem to be enjoying her job, or was under too much pressure. Suggestions for improvement: - Menus: The resort would feel a lot more luxury if they used a graphic designer for their physical and online menus and information pages. - Clean up: Pool side mess (empty glasses) and used room service trays were often not cleaned up until well into the next morning which meant there was often a lot of visible rubbish while walking up to breakfast and if we ate in the cottage, on the tables of the cottage. Gripes: - When booking a taxi through the hotel they add a service fee, which I wasn't warned about and was on our bill when we left. This was surprising, no other hotels on our trip did this, and it's a whopping 20%. I would have taken the cash option if I'd known this was going to be added but I didn't feel like I could challenge it on check out.…
