Hi! I’m going to Sandy Beach in St. Lucia soon and had some concerns about the area. I’m a solo female traveler in my early 20s. I’ve seen some stuff that Vieux Fort might not be the safest place. I was wondering if it is safe to go into alone during the day? I would be alone and want to prioritize my safety to the fullest. I definitely wanted to go into town at some point to get groceries and maybe do some shopping. If anyone had any recommendations of shops, please let me know!

Hey guys! My fiance and I are getting married on August 23rd 2025 and looking to go on our honeymoon during that last week of August! Our budget is 6 thousand dollars total! I have scoured the internet to try to find places but I just need some help! We are looking for a tropical vibe with a private deck/terrace with a private pool/hot tub. There have been a few resorts in the DR that have this and one in Jamaica that does as well but they almost seem too good to be true for their price. Any recommendations, tips or ideas? Thanks!

Please help me collect some data on the level of interest among the Saint Lucian market in Caribbean literature and art! Despite Saint Lucia being the focal market under study, perspectives from all Caribbean people are welcomed as the point at hand is bigger than just Saint Lucia and its market.

Really looking forward to respondents from rural communities and the south of Saint Lucia. Feel free to message me with any questions or other feedback.

Thank you all!

I'm looking for the next adventure in the Caribbean. In two tries, I'm disappointed. So far we've been to Atlantis Resort in Bahamas, which sucked. And last month just got back from Aruba, which didn't suck, but I did not like it. I prefer the Florida Keys to Aruba by a wide margin. Once, we went to Rose Island to swim with the Pigs in Bahamas. That's been my highlight by far in the Caribbean. I loved it the moment we got off the boat and had to climb these old, steep winding stairs to the top, which then took off on several directions through the jungle. One path led to bathrooms, another to the main building serving meals, another to a remote tiki bar overlooking the ocean but surrounded by palms trees, hammocks, wildlife and just natural beauty. This is my happy place. But there's nothing else on the island that I could see, at least not walking around. And the water here was the most beautiful I have seen except for one spot in Aruba that you can't swim in because it's too dangerous. So what I'm looking for is somewhere that looks and feels like that remote beach on Rose island but that also has infrastructure and some nightlife that an inexperienced traveler from the US can navigate without trouble communicating or driving around.Id like a nice mix of other cultures , with some familiar American touches thrown in for comfort and familiarity. Someplace I don't need to be on guard from soldiers, crime, etc. I just want to relax, enjoy the beach, drive around and take in some small, charming towns, and explore nature. Hit the tiki bars, preferably several within walking distance. Not too crowded. Not too small, not too big. Convenient but not overly Americanized. The local people being friendly is important. Am I chasing a unicorn here or do such places exist??

Here's a view from beautiful Soufriere, St. Lucia (the Anse Chastanet neighborhood) at the Treehouse Hideaway Villas, overlooking the iconic Pitons. The one benefit of having massive rain storms during the day this time of year is that the skies eventually clear and nature puts on its stunning show.

With regard to hurricanes, is it advisable to book a 10 day diving holiday in the caribbean around 7th August?. Google says hurricane season starts then, but many of the big ones have been later.

My husband and I are planning a vacation to the Caribbean. I used to be very adventurous and hike a lot. I am disabled now so we use our 4x4 Jeep to get to the places I can't hike to anymore. We would like to explore our hobby on an island while on vacation. It's not easy to find out about 4x4 trails on the islands because they all have companies that take people out. Can anyone help with recommendations for the best island for off-roading?

My husband and I are looking to take a week long Caribbean vacation at an adults only all inclusive resort. Probably in June or July but that is flexible. We have been to many different resorts and islands, but I am interested to hear (primarily from people who also have traveled to multiple places in the Caribbean) what your favorite resort and/or location was?

Ideally, these are the things that are important to us:

• Adult only
• Nice (preferably walkable) beach
• Good on-resort nightly entertainment
• Good food
• enough pool space that you don’t feel like you’re sitting on top of a stranger.

Thank you for your feedback!
