The hype
Families love the space and plunge pools, but everyone mentions the shuttle reliance.
Windjammer Landing Villa Beach Resort
$250-450/ noche
Reserva esto si You want the space and privacy of a villa vacation with the amenities (and safety net) of a full-service resort.
Por qué a la gente le encanta
- Mediterranean village vibe with white stucco villas climbing a steep, lush hillside
- Ocean Point Residences offer sleek, glass-fronted modern luxury unlike the older rooms
- Shuttle drivers are famously friendly and make the steep terrain manageable
Resumen rápido: It’s a leg-burning hike to breakfast if you don't use the shuttles, but the views from the top are worth the wait.
Reseñado por @kissesworld_: I loved the nude beige aesthetic at Windjammer Landing—it really set the tone. My favorite part was the patio; I literally stood there for hours watching the sunset and the Caribbean rain. The hills are steep, but the shuttle service made getting around super easy.
Lo que dijeron los huéspedes que se hospedaron aquí
Reality check
The 'all-inclusive' is optional and expensive; a la carte prices for chips ($12) and drinks ($22) shock many guests.
- You need a multi-bedroom villa for a family reunion
- You don't mind taking a shuttle to get to the beach
- You want a private plunge pool with a killer sunset view
Limpieza y Mantenimiento
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally reliable twice-daily service (with turndown), though missed spots in corners are occasionally noted.
- Bathroom hygiene: Mostly good, but recent specific complaints about 'mold and bugs' in older villa bathrooms exist.
- Maintenance: Renovated rooms are pristine; older hillside villas show wear like peeling paint or stiff sliding doors.
- Linens & towels: Clean and plentiful, though beach towels can sometimes run out by mid-afternoon.
- Odors & scents: Fresh ocean breeze mostly, but some older rooms can smell musty due to humidity.

Antes de reservar
Es bueno saberlo
- The 'Utility Surcharge' of ~$250/week often applies to timeshare/exchange guests; regular bookings pay a nightly accommodation levy.
- Reservations are required for dinner at Dragonfly and Papa Don's—book these immediately upon arrival.
- The beach is man-made and protected, meaning calm waters but sometimes seagrass issues.
Qué llevar
- Bug spray (mosquitoes and sand flies can be intense in the lush foliage)
- US/UK adapters (outlets are often British style Type G, though some renovated rooms have US plugs)
- Motion sickness bands if the 90-minute winding drive from UVF airport bothers you
Genio de Habitaciones
Mejores opciones
- Ocean Point Residences (2 or 3 bedroom) for modern, glass-fronted luxury and rooftop plunge pools
- Estate Villas for maximum privacy and high-altitude views
- Villa 122 (specifically mentioned by guests for good privacy)
Habitaciones a evitar
- Standard Guestrooms if you want the 'villa' experience—they are basic and often far from the action
- Villas at the very peak of the hill if you have zero patience for shuttle waits
Genio de Solicitud de Habitación – copiar y pegar
“I would love to request a renovated unit in the Ocean Point collection if available. If not, a Hilltop Villa with a private plunge pool is preferred. We are okay with stairs but would prefer a unit not directly on the main shuttle route to minimize road noise.”
Preguntas frecuentes y consejos ocultos
Todo lo que realmente quieres saber antes de reservar.
Is the all-inclusive package worth it?
Yes, if you plan to eat and drink on-site. A la carte prices are high ($20+ cocktails, $12 chips), so the package breaks even quickly for heavy eaters/drinkers.
Do I really need to take the shuttle everywhere?
Unless you are an athlete, yes. The hills are punishingly steep. Walking down is doable; walking up is a hike.
Is the beach private?
Technically all beaches in St. Lucia are public, but Labrelotte Bay is secluded and feels private to the resort.
Are the pools heated?
Most are not, and they can feel chilly in the morning or evening. The private plunge pools are typically unheated.
How far is the airport?
Hewanorra (UVF) is about 90 minutes away on winding roads. George F.L. Charles (SLU) is only 15-20 minutes but serves mostly inter-island flights.
Is there a resort fee?
No daily resort fee for standard hotel bookings, but there is a government accommodation levy (~$6/person/night).

5 cosas que debes saber antes de ir
💡The 'timeshare' sales pitch is subtle but present; you might be invited to a 'presentation' for resort credit.
💡The pizza at Papa Don's is sometimes criticized as tasting like 'frozen pizza' despite the nice views.
💡You have to sign a check for every single order, even if you are on the all-inclusive plan.
💡The drive from the airport is nauseatingly twisty; consider the ferry transfer if you get carsick easily.
💡Tree frogs are deafeningly loud at night—it's charming for some, insomnia-inducing for others.
