St. Lucia's Coconut Bay Resort Offers Winter Special

As vacationers know, not only is winter the very best time to go to the Caribbean, it's also the most expensive time.

But we've received word that St. Lucia's all-inclusive Coconut Bay Beach Resort & Spa is offering an Early Bird Paradise Special, providing guests who book their winter vacation before November 1, 2007 with a discount of up to 40 percent off regular room rates.

Package Dates: The Early Bird Paradise Special is valid for travel between January 1, 2008 and March 31, 2008 on bookings made by November 1, 2007.

Travelers visiting between January 1, 2008 and January 31, 2008 receive a discount of 40 percent off regular room rates. Guests who book for travel between February 1, 2008 and March 31, 2008 will receive a 35 percent discount off rooms.

Price: During January, rates are $342 a night for a deluxe Gardenview room and $366 a night for a deluxe Oceanview room. Families can also save at Coconut Bay with the discount Family Suites at $594 a night. During February and March, rates begin at $370 a night for a deluxe Gardenview room, $396 a night for a deluxe Oceanview room and Family Suites are $643 a night.

Why It's Good for Families: The resort is located on 85 coconut palm-fringed acres along St. Lucia’s exotic south coast, just a short transfer from the Hewanorra International Airport. Coconut Bay Beach Resort & Spa offers 254 rooms, three swimming pools, a full-service spa, CocoLand Kidz Klub and the island’s largest water park. Families can stay in rooms close to all the action of the CocoLand Water Park and Kidz Klub (there's a separate wing for adults traveling without children).

Through the Adventure St. Lucia desk in the lobby, guests can book excursions to go on a zip-lining canopy tour, ride ATVs, mountain bike in the rainforest and hike the Piton Mountains. For those who want to take to the water, it’s also possible to arrange for off-site snorkeling, scuba diving, windsurfing and kite boarding.
