Children's club

Jacquot Fun Club, named after the island bird, represents colour, artistic flair and a safe, secure environment for young guests. With supervised activities (ages 4-12) and fun island games, the knowledgeable and qualified staff will keep the little ones busy all day long, seven days a week.

Little ones can also enjoy the resort's new holistic programme with children’s yoga and wellness activities for the whole family, such as fun, educational classes in the herb garden and making scrubs using natural ingredients.

For Children

What’s nearby? Although the hotel is in a quiet spot on Saint Lucia’s north-west coast, it’s only about ten minutes from Gros Islet, which is much livelier. Once a sleepy fishing village, it’s now the place to head for rum shops, horseback tours and street food stalls, and it hosts a buzzing Friday-night street party called Gros Islet Jump Up.

Tried and tested As well as special yoga classes tailored to children, kids can make body scrubs using herbs grown here. A daily programme of events for teens includes water balloon volley and jewellery making.

The sleeping arrangements We recommend the Two-Bedroom Ocean View Rooms for families – they’re made up of two interconnecting rooms with a balcony or terrace, and have stunning ocean views. Two-Bedroom Oceanfront Suites come with a kitchen, and the Premium Two-Bedroom Ocean View Villas sleep four, with children on a sofa bed in the living room. They are also available with a plunge pool. For larger families, there are three and four-bedroom villas available, which sleep up to 12.
