Brian and I are officially going to St. Lucia in
August! I am SO excited! We bought the flights a couple months ago,
but still hadn’t decided on a hotel because there were so many great options to
choose from.

As we were getting ready to
book a hotel, I got an e-mail from Groupon for a deal at
Fond Doux Holiday Plantation in Soufriere, St.Lucia. We looked into it and it really did seem like
a great deal. Typically, I am wary of vacation
“deals” because I feel like they can be misleading at times. However, we did our homework and researched
the reviews online and it seemed like this place was the real deal. It even includes all food and drink (although
it’s not typically an all inclusive resort). Fond Doux is a working cacao plantation. Each cabin is “nestled within Fruit and Palm
Trees, with private balconies to relax and enjoy your corner of paradise”. There are no TVs or anything. Just relaxation!

One reviewer said, “We swayed in our rocking chairs on the
front porch and read books and slept and laughed and picked fresh fruit from
our yard. We walked through the gardens and saw flowers and trees that made our
heart sing. It was amazing. And I can't
wait to return. “
That sounds like paradise. We will be staying in the
cinnamon cottage.

They provide a free shuttle to Jalousie beach which is so gorgeous. It is right next to the pitons. A little fun
fact: The finale for the bachelor with
Jake and Vienna was taped on Jalousie beach in St. Lucia.

I can’t wait to spend a super relaxing week here! We will be celebrating both of our birthdays (I’ll
be turning 26 on the 26
th!).
Since 26 is my lucky number I’m betting this will be a good birthday!
