  Secluded, relaxed island getaway

  Bel Jour is a relaxed hotel in a secluded area, with gorgeous views. We loved our stay; we were apprehensive about not staying closer to the beach but needn’t have worried as it was a short shuttle ride or for us a walk which we enjoyed doing a few times. The food was fantastic, I felt like it was enjoyable every day and despite my husband being vegetarian & me only eating chicken as meat we still had plenty of options! Cocktails were plenty and all delicious! Loads of room by the pools each day and nice to choose between the two. We personally chose this location as its central and we wanted to hire a car to explore the island; I cannot recommend this enough! The rooms were very clean and well kept. No issues with how clean and tidy the whole space was. We absolutely loved the Caribbean night with the steel drum band & fire breathers- not to be missed! Only complaint would be lack of decent coffee/lattes offered and the lights shining into the bedroom keeping us up at night (unsure if these were Christmas specific but they change colour every second or so and flash into the rooms). We’d definitely return :)

  Glad I went, but will

  When we booked this trip, we were excited to see all of the wonderful reviews. Foremost, it is a very small very quiet resort that caters to those that want a relaxing experience- which is exactly what we wanted. That said, having traveled to many resorts, I thought it was important to alert those considering going to some of the things that we experienced. *room coffee is instant. A kettle is provided. *bottled water is an upgrade- for a few *there are no small snack options until 9pm - meals only. *lunch and dinner buffet is limited in options…repeats regularly *some alcohol is an upgrade *we experienced lack of hot water in our room for showering - the matter was reconciled upon request *drink service is about 75% walk to the bar, meals are all served *we saw what appeared to be a lot of recycled options. Items at dinner the previous day often appeared again in the buffet the next. We made the most of it, and really did enjoy great weather, in a clean (but dated) facility. The trip to and from the airport is about an hour, on challenging roads. The shuttle drivers had my trust. Wine and alcoholic drinks were well poured and there were more than enough options for my wife and I. So, to sum up, if you want peace and quiet, and food is not a priority-this may be the spot for you. For us, the menu(s) were rinse and repeat each day and it became difficult to look forward to each meal by mid-week. I heard this from a number of the folks we met on this journey.

  A gem of a hotel on the beautiful island of St Lucia

  This is a gem of a hotel. Everything is 1st class and the staff cannot do enough to give you an enjoyable holiday. The rooms are spacious and immaculately clean. The food is cooked fresh with lots of variety. The hotel runs themed cuisine nights (Asian, Indian, Italian, Creole) and the Al la carte Hummingbird restaurant is a must. We were here for Christmas and New Year and the staff pulled out all the stops to make it a special time. Dean, the general manager is very hands on and supportive of all the staff. Special mentions must go to Dana and Jem on reception, Andrea, Princess, Shawnelle, Kisha, Janet and Mandrina in the restaurant, Quincy from maintenance, Junior who helped with our luggage, Javier, Jevron, Carla and Joule Cooks, Jeanhim on tge bar, Merliva from Housekeeping , Tiniki from Lulu's cabana and finally, not forgetting the every present, ever busy Jahfree who kept us fit and entertained. I cannot recommend this hotel and it's fantastic staff enough and we would definitely stay again. Thank you to everyone x

  Good but could be better

  We stayed at the BelJou over new year and we had a great time. We are a quiet couple that dont really socialise but go on holiday to spend quality time together, wind down & not do a lot (sometimes). All the staff were super friendly, we ate really well, and always got a good night sleep! The food has been criticised in other reviews & yes the buffet is small but we were very impressed & always found something to eat! The food was also always hot with fresh coming out all the time. They had themed nights too so you didn’t get bored. Breakfasts were fab & so was Italian night with fresh pasta. There was a great choice of cocktails & mocktails all freshly made. I don’t drink so could help myself to water & soft drinks from the self serve bar at the lower pool. They had all sorts of alcohol down there too. The pools were nice, no sunbed saving & could always find somewhere to sit. It was quiet & peaceful with no kids as adult only! We only watched the New Year’s Eve entertainment so can’t comment on the other nights but it was very loud as they hotel is so small but we could hear our tv fine. It only went on until around 11/11:20 latest. The shuttle to the beach is fab make sure you go, and the ice cream every day was a nice touch. We also used the spa, LaLa was lovely & although slightly overpriced you expect that in hotels. Unfortunately as holiday prices have risen so much since Covid we only went to a 3 star but have been around the world and stayed at 5 & 6 stars & the BelJou was good in comparison! My only criticism and cons of the whole holiday were no decent coffee unless you paid for it which as a non drinker is a bit off as all the alcohol was included so why wouldn’t a latte be? Bottled water is not available in the rooms which I found also strange but you could fill up bottles at the self serve machine. And our room absolutely smelt so badly of damp & mould. I don’t know if they are all like that but the smell is now in all our clothes & hair and this really needs sorting soon! We may visit again if they refurb in the near future

  Lovely relaxing break

  Lovely hotel, not too big with gorgeous views and fabulous friendly attentive staff. Garden bungalow room was spacious and clean with everything we needed including kettle and coffee and tea. The big walk in shower was great. It was also possible to get to reception/restaurant and the upper pool from these rooms without steps which was useful as my husband has a bad knee. The shuttle service into town and the beach was great. The food was lovely, given the small size of the hotel there was plenty of variety. Good selection of drinks included too. Bottled water isn't included but there is a chilled water machine for refill by reception.
