Rendezvous is the first holiday in St. Lucia dedicated to the idea that great couples deserve a special place in the sun they can call their own. On this storybook island, Rendezvous is the storybook escape exclusively for the man and woman who happily choose to share their lives. We provide everything you need to create an idyllic time in an idyllic place. Without the distraction of children or singles or the noisy hubbub of your every-day life putting pressure on the relationship, you find every opportunity to nourish your unique bond. We even liberate you from concern for money because just about everything is included.

Rendezvous is, above all, an Eden -- a tropical garden by the sea where you can rediscover what made you a great couple in the first place.

ROOM CATEGORIES:

On a romantic holiday for couples, your room is obviously more important than it would be on any other kind of holiday. And it is here that Rendezvous shines by comparison. No other couples-only resort in the Caribbean offers you this standard of choice, luxury and originality at such a reasonable price, which is maybe why we won Thompson's Gold Medal for 'Best Far Away Shores Accommodation.' Not able to rest on our laurels, we spent seven million dollars in 2003 on improvements that help us live up to such lofty recommendation.

Each room is air conditioned and furnished in Caribbean style natural rattan or mahogany with a solid maple 4 poster king size bed. We invite you to open your balcony or terrace and catch the sunrise or enjoy breath-taking sunsets over the majestic Caribbean sea.
