THE HOTEL
This charming, low-key Caribbean-style inn is one of the oldest and most established resorts in St. Lucia, proudly retaining the traditional and easy-going experience that regular travellers to the Caribbean have come to expect. There is nothing ostentatious here, just lush, tropical gardens, a peaceful, shaded beach and friendly, relaxed service.

Spacious, yet intimate, the East Winds Inn consists of only 30 rooms, 26 of which are in 13 individual duplex cottages, plus three ocean view rooms and a suite, all set amongst the verdant gardens.  All the rooms have their own private and shaded terrace or patio. Tastefully decorated, they are elegantly furnished, whilst Rivolta Carmignani linen graces a choice of king-sized or twin beds.

In all cases, it is the setting that makes these rooms really special.  Surrounded by flowering tropical gardens, they are wonderfully private - like little plantation houses, but re-invented in luxurious style.

Set amongst the verdant gardens are only 30 rooms, the majority of which are located in individual, single-storey duplex cottages in two differing styles; African rondavel and gingerbread cottage. Design is simple and decoration highlights the bright colours and tropical flora and fauna of St. Lucia. Deluxe and Oceanview rooms and suites all enjoy air-conditioning and all rooms have a patio terrace and fridge stocked daily with soft drinks and beer. Excellent views of the ocean and a large private sun-deck are just two reasons why the Suite is one of the hotel's favourite rooms.
