Saint Lucia Travel Agent Expert

Saint Lucia is a picturesque island in the Caribbean, renowned for its stunning natural beauty, including the iconic Pitons, lush rainforests, and pristine beaches. Known for its volcanic origin, the island offers a range of activities, from hiking and zip-lining to relaxing in mineral-rich hot springs. Its charming mix of French and English colonial history is reflected in vibrant towns, while the island's luxury resorts and romantic ambiance make it a popular destination for honeymooners and adventure seekers alike. Saint Lucia is a tropical paradise with a rich culture and welcoming atmosphere.


The best time to visit Saint Lucia is from December to April, during the dry season, offering warm weather, low humidity, and less rain. For fewer crowds and lower prices, consider May or November. The wet season (June to November) brings more rain and potential hurricanes. 


 


Here are the top 5 places to visit in Saint Lucia:


Pitons – The iconic twin volcanic peaks, perfect for hiking and breathtaking views.


Sulphur Springs – The world's only drive-in volcano, offering hot springs and mud baths.


Anse Chastanet Beach – A beautiful beach with excellent snorkeling and diving.


Diamond Falls Botanical Gardens – Stunning gardens with a waterfall and natural hot springs.


Marigot Bay – A picturesque bay known for its calm waters, luxury resorts, and great dining options.

Another fabulous trip!
Rey has booked several domestic and international trips for me over the years. Each time the experience was fantastic. Rey is not only a knowledgeable and experienced travel agent, he is patient with groups and always provides stellar customer service. The resorts are always fabulous and his recommendations on what to do when we arrive at our destinations make my vacations more enjoyable. I’ve counted on Rey to book fabulous vacations for over 10 years and he always delivers the best. I’ve always enjoyed the individual attention and care Rey provides his clients. He understands the apprehension that comes along with trying new places and is thorough and accommodating as a result. He’s also great at making suggestions on future vacations and I’ve never been disappointed when I follow his suggestions. Rey will remain my travel confidante for many years to come. He’s the best, hands down!

We have worked with Rey for many years and have always enjoyed the experience. Most of our travel has been river cruises in Europe but last year we did a trip to South Africa. Rey is very thoughtful, thorough and responsive.

Rey has shown nothing but the utmost professionalism, patience,guidance, and quality service that is so difficult to find these days. We have trusted Almeda Travel for the last 5-6 years for our vacations and will continue to do so, I also strongly recommend if you’re looking for an agent/team that is knowledgeable and consumer responsive go with Almeda Travel!
