All the ingredients used in the restaurants are freshly sourced and even hand picked from the East Wind’s own garden. Everything from the excellent service to the high quality food has been carefully crafted with you in mind.

Can’t fault anything! The team, the gardens, accommodation and attention to detail. The cottages are just stunning! I loved that the resort never felt overcrowded, it made it so much more relaxing.
If you could make a plane that could get us there in an hour from the UK that would be the icing on the cake! 😂.

We had a lovely Christmas with our girls and will treasure our memories and our cute Christmas gifts.

An excellent resort , very helpful and friendly staff , excellent cuisine.
Impressive attention to detail .
I think that the photo in the tripadvisor picture was taken front the beach front room where we stayed, most of the "rooms" are separate buildings in the grounds, not necessarily beachfront.
We talked to fellow guests who included a number who were returning ( 8th stay in one case ) and we want to go back again, as soon as we find an alternative to the BA jumbo flight ( which I wouldn't recommend) .
Some of the guests were happy to spend their time on the beach, we, and others , took advantage of the hotel's specialist trip organiser ( Simeon ) to arrange visits to experience different parts of St Lucia.
Would definitely recommend Eat Winds.

You won't find a better place to stay. Anywhere. This little Boutique-by-the-beach location is exquisite, caters to your every need, is safe, friendly and surrounded by lovely gardens. Where-ever you walk you'll see something beautiful, whether it is the hummingbirds, some new flower, or the Beach itself. Very private and relaxed, the sunchairs are extremely high-quality with excellent padding and are under fixed-post thatched umbrellas. Waitstaff will gladly bring you any drink or snack, and they loved my new Mocktail! (ask for La Zo and see if you like it too) The rooms have everything you need, and the sunken-in showers are a delight. Bed is super comfy, good sized spaces for hanging, luggage racks, bathroom spaces etc. On arrival my bed and the whole room and bathroom were decorated with flowers grown on site and changed a few times for fresh ones. It was a magical holiday. I wish I could live there. The restaurant is excellent and I'm told lots of people from nearby resorts come just for the all-inclusive drinks and meal menus. Very fair price. The restaurant staff are very accomodating. You'll love the changes in menu every day and the fresh fruit blends they offer at breakfast. I didn't want to leave the grounds at all but I did take a tour on a yacht which went down to Soufriere, and we had the mud experience and the waterfall and then snorkelling in the afternoon, with lunch provided by East Winds kitchen. Far better than I was expecting, it was a truly lovely day. The musical entertainment is quite varied and I enjoyed every performer, however, they have a Pianist who is most extremely talented and makes any evening a highlight of your stay. Just sitting in the Hexagonal Bar, with the Book Exchange and the Orchids can be a pleasant way to spend the day, but I confess the gentle tides and the pink lounge chairs called me again and again. The water is truly emerald in colour, and due to the little bay, easy and gentle to swim or float in. The Yoga room which caters to pilates etc is a huge, wooden decked- open space and I enjoyed the walking tour of the Garden with Sylvanus very much indeed. I am counting the days until my return. I won't stay anywhere else in St Lucia.

Just paradise. What an amazing hotel with fabulous staff. We celebrated my 70th birthday in January 2025 and couldn’t have wished to have been anywhere else than East Winds. We stayed 13 years ago and it gets better each time. The decor is beautiful, food is gorgeous, entertainment is wonderful, rooms are lovely and spacious, but most importantly the staff from the management down are the best you could have in our opinion. They are so attentive and make you feel so very special. We can’t wait to visit again hopefully for my 71st birthday. I would love to name some staff that stood out, but as all the staff we met were so lovely the list would be too long. Thanks for the best holiday ever.

I have to be completely honest about East Winds boutique hotel, it’s absolutely wonderful, from our arrival where we were greeted with a lovely cocktail and super friendly welcome to our fabulous superior cottage, I found this location perfect and on the flat, the deluxe cottages we’re up a slight incline, the other thing to know before you go is getting in and out of the sea, can be tricky, but even with my mobility issues I managed to have a lovely relaxing swim each day , perfection at its best,
And I have to mention the staff, they helped to make our holiday magical, a shout out to Mickel at the pool bar,Sylvia Titus, Kirby, Jermaine for our amazing food, kerwin … and many many more, I’m sorry if I’ve missed you off, but you are all amazing , we can’t wait to return in October.
