Fantastic week at what my friend and I think is probably the best hotel in St Lucia! We arrived after a long flight from the UK and transfer from the airport to the hotel to be greeted by friendly staff, a delicious drink and...an upgrade from a one bed villa to a three bed villa! The staff, service and facilities were amazing. The Landings is not a hotel in the traditional sense in that it is comprised entirely of villas, most of which are owned by owners on a freehold basis who then put them in the hotel's rental pool, to be rented out for holidaying guests (either via travel companies such as Virgin Holidays whom we booked through or to independent travellers). However all guests are treated to the same high level of service, be it owner or 'renter'. The Landings has its own private marina and private beach and several pools dotted around the immaculately kept grounds. Like many resort hotels in the Caribbean prices of drinks and food are not that cheap so I would recommend opting for all inclusisve, even if you choose to eat out at other restaraunts a few times. We only booked on a bed and breakfast basis as we planned on eating out at other places but on reflection all inclusive may have been slightly better value. That said, each villa has a fully equippped full kitchen (and also a washing machine and dryer in each villa) so you could cook and eat in some evenings if you wish (there are several supermarkets a short drive / taxi ride away). All in all a great week in a lovely place, thank you to each and every one of the staff at The Landings.

My wife and I came here on our honeymoon and could not have been more thrilled with our decision. As soon as you walk into the lobby you can feel that the space is special. The staff welcoming us to the resort could not have been more friendly and courteous and if safety around Covid is a concern this place felt like a safe haven from it. All of the staff followed every precaution and even coordinated our onsite antigen test to ensure we had no issues once we arrived at the airport for departure. The food was incredible offering a rotating buffet each night at The Beach Club and we were fortunate enough to take advantage of The Palms a few nights while we were there where you can find more a la carte cuisine. To be honest our favorite eatery was Callaloo. It was our mission to try everything we could on the menu while we were there and didn't have a single dish we were unimpressed by. The most surprising aspect may have been how good the pizza was and this is coming from a couple of New Yorkers. The room was stunning, incredibly clean and despite being right on the marina felt completely secluded and private. The beach and all of the amenities offered through the resort were incredibly well maintained and modestly priced if you wanted to pay for anything motorized. By far and away the reason we will be coming back in the future (in addition to everything I already mentioned) was how incredible the staff was. We were fortunate enough to have the pleasure of making friends with Flavia who on our last day made a point to find us to thank us and say goodbye. She was incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. Stacy was also super friendly and truly made us feel like VIPs during the trip. I would also love to shout out Ophelia and Lilly as well as Benjamin and the rest of the bar staff as we always left the bar with more than a drink, and by that I mean, a big laugh and or smile! Could not recommend this place enough!

Our first proper family summer holiday since Covid and the Landings did not disappoint. This is a superb resort in a great location. The bay in which it sits is beautiful, the water is blue and calm and the beach is large with its plentiful white sands Unusually the beach front is not the only scenic area to the hotel, it is situated around a beautifully kept marina and so every room has a view (beach or marina) The grounds of the hotel are expansive and perfectly kept. There is a lovely walk round the marina between reception and the beach. There are 4 pools which at the time we visited were always quite quiet and easy to get beds, likewise the beach has plenty of beds and there is never an issue finding somewhere to sit. The highlight for me are the rooms or should I say, suites. My family of 4 had a 2 bed suite. Perfect in that we had 2 bedrooms, 2 1/2 bathrooms, living room, dining area and kitchen (fully kitted out with Miele Appliances) there is even a washing machine and dryer (again Miele). For all inclusive guests you arrive to a fridge stocked with soft drinks, water and beer and this can be restocked for free as many times as you want through your stay. To me this is the perfect mix, an all inclusive hotel but each resident has a fully kitted out apartment where you can cook for yourself when the food gets boring (see below!). In room dining is also offered as an option. The staff are wonderful, in the main happy, friendly, good fun and obviously there to ensure their guests have a good time. Previous experience in the Caribbean has been quite mixed in this regard, with some resorts featuring staff who are downright surly where you feel as a guest you are getting in the way of them having a nice easy life, not so at the Landings the staff are fantastic. My only improver (as I see many reviewers have stated) would be restaurant choice. The Callaloo beach bar is fantastic with great food for lunch but it closes at 3pm (drinks until 5pm) leaving a choice of just the buffet and the Palms fine dining for dinner. The Palms is excellent with really high quality food but the menu is quite limited (although it does change every few days) and so over a 14 day holiday it can get boring. The buffet is like every other all inclusive resort I’ve ever been to - quite poor. Each night they have a theme from a country around the world, but in truth every night feels the same to me. Italian night they serve pilau rice, steak, chicken and fish, Greek night, spicy rice, steak, chicken and fish, international night, vegetable rice, steak, chicken and fish- you get the picture! There is an al a carte menu but this is repetitive and limited. So if I could ask for 1 improvement, an extra restaurant would be great or maybe just a vast improvement on the buffet. Other than that - the place is near perfect.
