How are the people in st lucia?

I've been looking at places to go and this has been at the top of my list beside the exumas. The wife and I are going to Curacao in two weeks, it will be our first time traveling outside of our country. Are people here pretty easy going or less than thrilled with tourists? I'm interested in trying mom and pop restaurants and exploring the island.

Anse Chastanet - is it actually nice?

I recognize this is about to come off out of touch but I’d like to ask anyway. Please be nice to me!!

Is the Anse Chastanet actually nice?

My husband and I are scuba divers, we keep getting ads to go there. We normally travel for a few days for Christmas and have been considering going there on a dive package.

I’m normally more of a luxury boutique hotel or 5-star luxury resort person but given the holiday travel, prices are around 40-50% more and it puts Jade Mountain and Sugar Beach out of budget.

The package for 5 nights is ~$8,000 with food and beverage included and 8 dives per person. Overall, expensive but doable.

We like that the hotel is on the beach and has a dive shop. We are in our early 30s and reasonably active. Would like to hike as well.

Where I’m getting stuck is we could stay at the nicer hotels traveling at another time rather than Christmas. I am very afraid I’ll be disappointed by the facilities and lack of luxury feel. I haven’t seen anyone post videos on social media or nice pictures at this hotel in the ways I see at other properties and it’s giving me cold feet.

That said, it is challenging for our work to travel outside of very specific times of year - March spring break, June, September fall break, and Christmas holiday.

This is forcing me to consider whether I just have to deal with it and bite the bullet on staying at the “less nice hotel” since holidays are the best time to dive St Lucia and easiest time for us to take off.

I also looked at Ladera but seems to be hard to get to the beach and since we like to snorkel and scuba, it seems to make less sense.

I would appreciate any opinions. Thanks in advance!

Deciding between hotels for 4-night stay

I’ll keep it brief, 22M going on a 4-night trip to St Lucia with my gf (not a honeymoon or anything), flying into UVF. Don’t want to break the bank but would spend if it’s worth it.

Things that would be nice to have: nice views from room/pools/beach, not too far from airport, less than hour away from hiking, not getting bitten my mosquitos all night

I’ve done some of my own research and have essentially narrowed down my hotel choices to 4, was wondering if people who have been to these hotels can give their thoughts / if they would recommend.

The hotels:
-Sugar Beach
-Coconut Bay
-Green Fig
-Rabot Hotel from Hotel Chocolat

Any other hotels I should look at? Appreciate the help
