Resort Details
- Dragonfly
Caribbean cuisine is a marvelous collection of ingredients, flavors, and textures. It begins with the simplicity of the aboriginal food. It is then is enhanced with the plants, seeds, and spices that originate from Africa, combined with those conveyed on sugar ships and sailing vessels from England, France, Spain, Holland, and Denmark and influenced by Asian flavors brought by indentured laborers from China and India.
- EmbersSituated on our beautiful crescent-shaped beach, Embers is renowned for its island-casual atmosphere and fresh barbeque and grilled specialties. Its signature JA Wrap features a roti flatbread wrapped around shredded jerk chicken, rice, peas and veggies. Embers is also the setting for an elaborate Sunday brunch buffet. Just steps away, kids of all ages stop by Toppers Ice Cream Shack for ice cream, smoothies and homemade sorbets, which are complimentary for guests on the all-inclusive plan.
- JammersBasking right at beachside, Jammer's Beach Bar & Grill offers all-day dining in a laid-back but lively atmosphere. Here, beachgoers can relax and chat in the shade, sipping ice-cold beers and cool tropical drinks on the sheltered deck. The casual setting offers a rather surprising backdrop for exquisite dishes such as Jammer's signature shrimp creole -- Chef Munn's Caribbean version of shrimp Provencal. The menu also features burgers, rotis (wraps), salads with fresh island ingredients, and a variety of other temptations.
- Papa Don's TavernaFor scrumptious cuisine and delicious views of the Caribbean, the mountainside terrace of Papa Don's Taverna is without peer. An intimate Mediterranean-style taverna, open for dinner, Papa Don's has long been known for its pasta and pizza. Now Chef Munn has expanded the menu to encompass the cuisines of Greece and the surrounding region. Papa Don's exquisite signature dish, Moroccan Roasted Dorado, is served with a lime-honey-yogurt sauce, pomegranate syrup and couscous. Bring your zest for life and fine food and enjoy both to the fullest.
- Upper DeckIn the evenings at Windjammer Landing's romantic Upper Deck restaurant, steak & seafood provide the mouthwatering theme. Exceptional meals in a beautiful multi-level setting, overlooking the beach and bay, are a favorite of guests who have an appetite for something special. Angus beef and the freshest fish and seafood are featured on an a la carte menu offering a choice of preparation method, sauces and accompaniments to suit your palate.

Dec 21, 202424/7 Concrete Mixer and Zero Sleep
I’m currently staying at Windjammer for a family vacation with my husband and 2 young adult kids. When we checked in they said they’d upgraded our suite, which sounded lovely at the time as we’d be closer to the beach. It was in fact an underhanded tactic to put us next to the construction area. 24/7 concrete mixer that neither the AC/fan can drown out and sitting on the balcony is impossible. At first they said that construction would stop after 8pm. But here we are, 10.21pm and both concrete mixers and workers are still at it. They cannot tell me if and when it will/wont be shut down for the night. In addition we specifically requested twin beds for our kids. This was confirmed, but needless to say one gets to sleep on the lumpy pull out sofa. I thought that this could be reasonably resolved at the front desk, but after multiple trips down to talk to them I’ve now resorted to posting on TripAdvisor in hopes of a more reasonable outcome. I so wanted to love my stay after a truly traumatic year, but needless to say it is not to be. So if anyone is offered rooms 302A&B just say NO, you’d rather walk up the hill.

Dec 19, 2024Winter sun escape
Our family (two adults and two children aged 14 & 11) thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at the Windjammer Landings Resort. It is full of lights for Christmas :) We stayed in a one bedroom Coastline Suite which was spacious, close to the beach & amenities and had a gorgeous view. Hot tub on our balcony was a nice touch. We didn’t need to use the shuttles. Food was amazing. Lots of drinks to choose from. We were All Inclusive which I strongly recommend, as the prices are insane (understandable being an island where most items are imported). Book Dragonfly, Papa Dons and Masala on the app ahead of time for dinner. You don’t have to pre book for Jammers, The Perch or for lunch. One thing that confused me at first is signing a bill each time - just to confirm you are not being charged on the All Inclusive. The water sports are great fun. The guys are very helpful. We did paddle boarding, knee boarding, kayaking and banana boat (wake boating and water skiing is also included in the All Inclusive). We did Scuba Diving with Eastern Caribbean Diving too which is also on site. The staff were all friendly, but Travis (who served us on the beach) really stood out. He was welcoming, attentive, professional, and had a calm, can-do attitude that made a lasting impression. He’s a true asset to the hotel! I liked that we were able to reserve our sun loungers on arrival and keep them for the duration of our stay—so convenient. If you’re concerned about renovations, don’t be. They are constructing a new restaurant, but the noise was minimal, and the area was well-screened. It didn’t impact our stay at all. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and wouldn’t hesitate to return!

Dec 19, 2024Excellent All Inclusive Experience
I've never done the all inclusive experience. My wife and I, along with another couple, booked a three bedroom villa, and all inclusive plan at Windjammer, St. Lucia for 10 days. The villa was at the top of the resort, which required resort shuttles to get to the beach and restaurant area. I really enjoyed the whole experience. Shuttles were prompt; drivers courteous and welcoming. Restaurants were really good with a wide variety of options. Beach area was nice, although water was a bit turbid, so snorkeling wasn't the best, but I did see quite a few colorful fish. The water sports facility had all the toys; I really got the hang of stand-up paddle-boarding. We were just looking to chill; read some books; have some fun. The staff were all so nice, like a big family they refer to themselves. Live music by local musicians at most restaurants. Overall a great experience.

Dec 15, 2024Beautiful spot, patchy service
Windjammer is a lovely location, right on the beach, in between Castries and Rodney Bay. We had just booked a guestroom but we were upgraded to a one-bed villa which was very spacious and comfortable, with a jacuzzi on the balcony and overlooking the Hibiscus pool. It had a decently equipped kitchen which proved a significant asset. We enjoyed our stay enormously - the opportunity to soak up some sun, explore the island a bit and read some books was just what I needed to escape the onset of the British winter. So, why only three stars? Well - Windjammer is somewhat overhyped. On arrival we were greeted warmly and given a welcome drink and a detailed briefing - amongst other things, emphasis was placed on our "personal ambassador" who we were told would contact us that evening to check that everything was OK with the room and would be available to us throughout our stay by dialling zero on the telephone in the villa. We never saw hide nor hair of this individual during our week long stay. On those occasions we did dial zero, we were frustratingly passed from person to person at least three and on one occasion four times with no context or handover, requiring us to start from the beginning (thankfully it was a simple enough question each time, but having to repeat it three or four times is irritating). We were also told with great emphasis that there was an elaborate system for reserving a spot on the beach. Our friends who have been coming to Windjammer for years told us to ignore this and just sit on an unoccupied sun lounge, there are plenty of them and everybody else does, so we did. There were some minor maintenance issues with our villa - missing knobs on the drawers, one of the balcony doors didn't close properly and didn't lock, and there was a Glinda and Elphaba contrast between the two housekeeping ladies (one was very pleasant, attentive and friendly, the other was rude and miserable). The restaurants at Windjammer are all 'of a standard' with perfectly edible food but are ludicrously overpriced - you will find much better value in nearby Rodney Bay with comparable or significantly better food for around half the price (even once you factor in a taxi there and back). There is also a decent supermarket in Rodney Bay, so we paid that a visit and did some of our own cooking. They do offer an all-inclusive option, but at $180 USD per person per day - so over $2500 for the stay - you need to be a big drinker to make it worth considering. The resort does have a gym, which is fairly well equipped by hotel/resort standards though as is unfortunately common is not very well maintained. On departure day we needed to vacate our room by 11am (our query about a late check out, which we'd have been happy to pay for, was dismissed out of hand) - so a bit of a feel of 'thanks for visiting, now bugger off'. There is actually a decently equipped shower in the washroom at reception, but we were left to find that by ourselves (maybe an explanation of that could have replaced the emphasis on the elusive 'personal ambassador' or the complicated system of booking a beach place). A beautiful location on a beautiful island with decent facilities, but let down by patchy service. I still had a good time, and would consider coming back, but did not exactly fall in love with the place - remembering that there are many other resorts on many other islands in the region to try out.
