EAST WINDS INN, ST. LUCIA - An Alberta Connection
East Winds Inn is nestled on the lush, tropical Island of St. Lucia. It’s an enchanting and secluded all-inclusive gem providing guests with a true Caribbean experience. For many return guests, Alberta natives George and Marilyn Reti will be familiar faces. Over the past 15 years they have returned to St. Lucia to take in the charms of East Winds Inn. Through acquiring this timeless seaside resort, they have integrated their love of St. Lucia and commitment to excellence into the East Winds Experience. Their vision as owners is to preserve and enhance the distinct character of the property.
The East Winds Inn is a true Caribbean paradise, set amongst 12 acres of lush, tropical gardens and bordered by a golden beachfront on one of St. Lucia’s most pristine bays. The resort is perfect for Canadian vacationers who value simple luxury in traditional Caribbean style. The all-inclusive resort is located next to the azure waters of La Brelotte Bay and offers guests an abundance of facilities to suite any taste. Award winning Caribbean and International cuisine can be savored at the open-air Flamboyant Room which features new menus nightly and a wine choices to match the evenings offerings. After dinner or anytime, cocktails can be enjoyed in the Almond Tree Bar or in the Bamboo Lounge where the resort’s jazz duo entertains nightly. Afternoon tea is served poolside in the elegant Jasmine Room every afternoon and guided nature walks are offered highlighting the indigenous plants, flowers, trees and birds found on the property. For those looking for a little more demanding tour, a Swedish Circuit Training track also winds its way through East Winds. There’s also Yoga classes, table tennis and an aesthetician available allowing quests to indulge in massages, manicures and pedicures in their own room or on the veranda surrounded by nature.

BEST SUNSET ROMANTIC DESTINATIONS

As you can probably guess, I love my job and serving brides with their honeymoon, destination wedding and romance travel needs. Here are some of the top sunset destinations for romance that I have come across during my adventures.

PUERTO VALLARTA AND RIVIERA NAYARIT
Stretching from the city of Puerto Vallarta, along the miles and miles of beautiful soft sand, and including Nuevo Vallarta, is the Riviera Nayarit, all of which face directly West. Some of the best resort room views can be had from the Dreams Puerto Vallarta, with two tower buildings - all rooms overlooking the beach and ocean, the Dreams Villamagna oceanview rooms with the jacuzzi located right on your balcony, the Villa Premiere with their over-size balconies and the RIU Palace upgraded oceanview rooms.

NEGRIL, JAMAICA
Since this part of Jamaica is located exactly West on the island, it affords amazing and breathtaking sunset views every night! Try the Riu Negril or Couples Negril for a romantic rendez-vous with the setting sun.

ARORANGI, COOK ISLANDS
On this Westerly side of the island of Rarotonga, are some spread-out and spoiled beachfront hotels that are blessed with the dancing orange array of colors of the sunset nightly. I like the Castaway Beach resort, The Crown Beach Resort and their beachfront and spacious bungalows, and the Edgewater for those looking for more of a panaromic sunset view from a high story level.

ST. JAMES, BARBADOS
Heading North of Bridgetown, you will go through a series of quaint seaside towns - with their sophisticated and quaint restaurants and hotels. The posh hotels would include the Four Seasons, Fairmont and Sandy Lane but those less expensive and all-inclusive and with the same sunset, are the Mango Bay, Almond Beach Club, and Almond Beach Village.

SOUFRIERE, CASTRIES, and RODNEY BAY, ST. LUCIA
This festive island basks in it's lush and natural greenery, a great contrast to the warm colors of the sunsetting sky. Here, Jade Mountain, which is perched high on a hill and has an infinity pool and no wall facing the land and sea, takes the cake for most romantic sunset views. If that is not within your budget, try Rendez-vous, the first couples-only resort concept. This quaint beachfront hotel has a beachfront and sophisticated restaurant, which is the ideal setting for watching the sun dip into the water. The modern Calabash Cove is also high on a hill so offers stunning sunset views, but the Bay Gardens Beach Resort offers that all-inclusive experience and beachfront atmosphere that so many wedding groups seek.

If you have any others to contribute and recommend, please send it to me at laurie@romanticplanet.ca

Happy Romance!
