Product Description

Product Description

Providing information on all the island's attractions, from the bustling capital, Castries, to stylish yachting resorts such as Rodney Bay, this mini-guide also includes coverage of the creole architecture and the world-class Jazz festival. There is full coverage of the unspoilt beaches, forest and marine nature reserves, the mountain peaks of the Pitons and the volcanic mineral baths at Sulphur Springs. Containing similar information to the larger "Rough Guides", the pocket-sized guide is written in the irreverent style characteristic of the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect companion for a holiday in St Lucia, 15 Feb 2001
St Lucia is a stunning island with such a choice of attractions and things to do that a good guide is essential. This offering by Karl Luntta gives a very fair and accurate picture of the best and worst of St Lucia. The guide gives useful phone numbers to allow the independent travellers to make the most of their trip and the Listings chapter ensures that you can find places to stay, eat etc. This book is pocket sized so convenient to carry around. Overall, a must for anyone going to St Lucia

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute little guide with a few errors, 3 May 2004
By Elizabeth James "marshabrady3" (winchester, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Went to the beautiful St. Lucia last November, and bought this as a rough guide before I left. It proved very useful, and provided interesting summaries of local sights. You really wouldn't want anything in more detail. My only criticism is that it advised you to take EC$ not US$. Upon arrival I realised this was a mistake as everything is traded in US dollars, especially at hotels. And it was a real effort asking for everything's price in EC$.
I stayed at the Jalousie Hilton, and the guide described this hotel as a 'soulless playground for the rich', it could not have been more wrong! Our hotel and the people there were wonderful, and the scenery breathtaking. So I wouldn't advise you to choose your accommodation based on this book.
All in all a pretty good book, in a convenient travel size.

2.0 out of 5 stars More Smooth than Rough, 27 Jan 2003
By A Customer
Disappointing. Gone are the comments like, "The beds are hard, but the rooms are clean and good value". Gone is the detail that makes locals ask, "How did you know about this place?" Compared to other Rough Guides I've used this is short in detail, short on hard opinion and long on repetition and the euphoric stuff you get from the package holiday companies.
