East Winds St. Lucia- All Inclusive
We loved how East Winds refuses to feel like a standard all-inclusive despite ticking every...
The Landings occupies a stretch of Rodney Bay near the Pigeon Island causeway, and it draws a line most all-suite resorts do not bother with: guests choose not just a room category but a view category, beachfront, ocean view or marina, the last one looking straight onto a private luxury yacht marina rather than the open sea. Eighty five suites, each multi-room with its own kitchen and living area, mean a family or a group of friends gets separate sleeping and living space rather than a single hotel box, at a scale, eighty five keys, still small enough to keep the property from feeling like a convention hotel.
We chose The Landings because the marina genuinely changes the resort's rhythm: guests wake up to boats being readied rather than only sun loungers being set out, and the property leans into that with excursions and water access most beachfront-only resorts cannot offer. Multi-room suites with kitchens suit longer stays and families who want to self-cater some meals without losing the spa, multiple pools and fitness centre a full resort provides. Butler service is available rather than mandatory, letting the resort serve both a quiet couple and a group that wants everything arranged.
Rodney Bay puts The Landings within reach of Gros Islet's restaurants and the Friday night street party, while the Pigeon Island causeway and national landmark sit close enough for an afternoon walk through the old fort ruins and beaches on either side of the isthmus. The marina itself is the location's other draw: guests can arrange a sail or a fishing charter without leaving the property's own dock.

Because every category, not just a top-tier villa, includes a kitchen and a separate living area, The Landings suits a week-long family stay in a way a standard hotel room cannot: breakfast for young children does not require a restaurant reservation, and a group can eat one meal in and one meal out without coordinating around a single table. The multi-room layout also means a family with children can keep separate sleeping spaces under one suite rather than booking two connecting rooms.
Most resorts near Rodney Bay Marina simply overlook it from a distance. The Landings sits close enough to build excursions around it directly, arranging sailing trips, fishing charters and boat access from the property's own dock rather than a taxi to town first. It is the detail that separates the Marina View suites from a standard upgrade: guests are paying for proximity to something they can actually use, not just a different angle on the water.
Eighty five suites and a marina setting mean The Landings runs larger and busier than the boutique Soufriere properties nearby, better suited to families and groups than to a couple hunting total quiet. Marina View suites trade a direct sea view for the yacht outlook, worth confirming at booking for anyone who specifically wants open water rather than moored boats outside the window.
