Windjammer Landing Villa Beach Resort Reviews & Ratings

We have been going to this resort since 2007 and have enjoyed every visit. It can be truly relaxing with a good book on the beach or thrilling with various excursions. The staff have always been very friendly and helpful in all aspects. This place offers once in a lifetime vacation and as an owner we were able to gift our week to family and friends giving them this incredible opportunity.

Beautiful property, 5 star resort and quality food. Family friendly and wonderful amenities. Full Gym, (Pelotons, Treadmills, Yoga/Pilates studio) Full Spa, and kids services!

We have owned here since 2005 and have enjoyed numerous trips over the years. Our daughter was married here in 2009 and it was an exceptional experience. The staff are friendly and always looking to please. The grounds are kept immaculate. Having the option to do all inclusive or not is a great perk. With numerous restaurants to dine at, several shops and even a small grocery market make it hard to leave the resort once you arrive. There is plenty of seating on the beach and water sports on site as well. All villas are ocean view and set on a hillside to capture those amazing Caribbean views. Shuttles are running at all times making it easy to get to and from the villas if walking is not for you. That view once entering the resort is nothing short of spectacular!

We think the Windjammer is one of the outstanding resorts in the Caribbean with amenities such as The Serenity Spa, tennis, swimming pools, a playground, several excellent restaurants, bars, live entertainment, and just about any type of water sport you can think of.

A great resort for both families and couples with a loyal and friendly membership of timeshare owners. Windjammer has a traditional Caribbean feel to it with stunning villas dotted in amongst beautiful grounds.

We have travelled all through the Caribbean and Windjammer Landing is one of the most beautiful resorts of all. The amenities, the employees, the restaurants and the views can’t be beat! It is a very special place.

Thank you, glennw100, for your recent review. I agree with everything you said and have actually wanted to post something similar. I have owned at Windjammer Landing since 1993 and have been back every year, sometimes twice a year. I'm looking forward to Jan.-Feb., 2016, when I'll be back again for 2 weeks, and I'll write a detailed review then.

Before I left for St. Lucia, I said this would probably be our last time. Why did I tell that lie! I will come back again and again. Going to the WIndjammer is like getting a new lease on life! I felt rejuvenated! The views are better than postcards! The staff is helpful and friendly. We were initially put in Villa 61 which would rank on Oprah WInfrey's best villas to stay in at the Windjammer (LOL), but the steps to that piece of paradise were too much for my mother who walks with a cane. RIcky at the front desk told me he would take care of it and he did! We were moved to the beautiful Hibiscus Suite 312A early the very next day. Wow - heaven on earth! Sauna and Sea!! How relaxing to watch the cruise ships pass by and view the flora and fauna. We mostly stayed at the resort and just chilled. The WIndjammer is excellent and we will be coming back!!!

We stayed in a Hibiscus Suite in Jan 2012. I'm posting this in November, and I can still remember how fabulous our stay was. Our room was spotlessly clean, very close to the restaurants and beach, but not too close, so it was peaceful. There was Wi-Fi in the room. The view from the apartment is truly stunning, beautiful turquoise sea and a very faint pleasant breeze. We had a balcony that had a hot-tub and a dining table for 6-8 people. The apartment had cooking facilities, a fridge/freezer and a laundry room in the back. You can breakfast in one of the restaurants or in your apartment. Either way, we found ourselves relaxing in a way we never have before. The fish and other dishes on the various restaurant menus were excellent. There was one restaurant that we didn't particularly enjoy, I think it was called The Dragonfly, but I am nor sure. (It was the one where the excellent breakfast in served). Apart from that, the other restaurants were good. Also, we went into town for a few great evening meals. About a 10 -15 minute cab ride.

We found the Windjammer staff couldn't do enough to make sure that we had a wonderful time. They greeted us anew each day and just went that extra mile for us. We are so looking forward to coming back, probably in 2014.

We stayed in jan 2012 for 2 weeks through an II "getaway". Getaway units are the least desirable and are part of WJL's "hotel" inventory. Exchange guests are put into more updated units. Our kitchen and living area were open to elements, the br's were enclosed. Being open means you'll have lots of birds as uninvited guests along with what they leave behind. The furnishings were old but in decent shape. The charming architecture and views are the biggest draw to WJL'S for me. The rest of the property is in need of refurbishing, particularly the main pool and beach area. The staff was great for the most part. The shuttles were usually prompt. We enjoyed seeing the beautiful, lush island of st Lucia through a number of organized day trips. Cabs were expensive. Papa dons restaurant had the best food. I was excited about going on this trip and staying at WJL'S because I had read many good reviews however I wouldn't return. Interestingly, after returning, I'm reading many more reviews that parallel my experience! Bottom line: refurbish!

We love Windjammer Landing and St. Lucia !!!! The 1st time we came to Windjammer 7 years ago, we booked a unit direct through the resort. We enjoyed the experience and beauty so much that we ended up buying a timeshare and have been coming back every year since. We have explored every aspect of the island of St. Lucia and all the various resorts/hotels, and we still find Windjammer the perfect place to stay. Why you ask ? It is an ideallic setting with white washed villas perched up along the hillside, and wonderful ocean breezes to keep you comfortable. It is a friendly resort that offers you many resort amenities while not being stuffy. Virtually every unit has some view of the bay or ocean. Every unit is different in size and decor depending on when they were constructed. There has been several phases of development over the years. We have had many opportunities to exchange our unit for one of the "newer" units further up the hillside, but continually decline as we love the charm and location of the units surrounding the Serenity Spa, Pool and Papa Don's. It is easy walking from there to the beach, thus we do not need to depend on the shuttle for every transport to and from.....and we really like the pizza at Papa Don's, so we go there a lot and it is close. We find these units very comfortable, clean and charming, and the kitchen is more than adequately appropriated to handle the amount of cooking we do.......mostly breakfast and an occasional sunset dinner on the unit's balcony . But, If you are expecting the Four Seasons, then you would probably do well to stay elsewhere. We are pretty picky when staying away from home and in booking hotels in the U.S., so the fact that we keep coming back here says a lot, I think. This resort has a great deal of return timeshare owners who have been coming here....every year.... for 10, 15 and in some cases 20 years. Many come from Canada, Britain and the U.S. and spend 1,2, 3 and 4 weeks at a time. If you are coming to St. Lucia and Windjammer for the 1st time, please be mindful that this is the Caribbean. You are on Island time. The staff at Windjammer are really great and DO make every attempt to make sure your stay is memorable. Yes, you may experience an occasional blip along the way, but in all our time coming to Windjammer, we have always found that they (the staff) try to accommodate you, unless you are being unreasonable. We have always felt safe at Windjammer, as well as when going off the resort to nearby restaurants for dinner, etc.. But having said that, I think one traveling anywhere in the world needs to be mindful of their surroundings and not be a flashy tourist. St. Lucia is a stunningly beautiful Island and its people are some of the most friendly and warm that we have found anywhere in the Caribbean.

My husband and I were there April 19 - 26, 2009. There is no doubt that this resort has a breathtaking view. The first place we stayed in had some problems but then they moved us up to the top of the mountain and to a much nicer villa with a panoramic view. It's important to talk to the right people if you're experiencing any type of problem...At first nothing happened when we just spoke to someone at the front desk but then we spoke to Beverley who made everything right. We enjoyed the food at the Dragonfly and The Upper Deck the best. We weren't too crazy about Papa Don 's. The pizza was really disappointing. The breakfast buffet was way too overpriced for what was being offered...$80 CAD for breakfast for two is just way too much! We did a great tour of the island and went to Ladera for lunch one day. We also checked out La Jalousie resort. Both had amazing views of les deux pitons. We also went outside the resort one evening for dinner to Coal Pot. It was good but quite pricey...St. Lucia, all in all, is a very beautiful island but very expensive. Since most of the resorts are so far away from the airport and many restaurants are so far away from the resorts, it is necessary to take a taxi everywhere which can really add up dollar-wise...Not much in the way of shopping...Rodney Bay is disappointing. We didn't go into Castries to shop but it didn't look too appealing so there didn't seem to be much point. Nice holiday in spite of some of the problems. Hawaii (Kauai) is still my favourite island....

My wife and I traveled to St.Lucia in Oct of 2007. We purchased a week through Redweek. What an incredible view that we had from our balcony. Our own private plunge pool as well. I would highly recommend this resort for it's laid-back feel. The people were very helpful, the resort was not crowded and there were plenty of activities to keep you busy. We are already planning our next trip back.

Happy travels

Must be one of the finest resorts in the World. 1st class service, friendly staff make this an A+ return

We had the most enjoyable time in St. Lucia in September 2007. Just a few weeks after the island was brushed by Hurricane Dean it was truly amazing how the locals joined forces and clean the island up. During our stay we were very fortunate to call the Windjammer Landing our home for the week. We had a 2bdrm unit on the higher level with our own private pool and I believe every unit faces the ocean with the most incredible sunsets nightly. Our "home" was in a new unit at nearly 2,400 sq feet with 2.5 bath and 2 decks. The fully furnished kitchen had all the modern appliances (no dishwasher) and more than adequate dinnerware. A wood dining table and buffet complimented the eating area. Having a washer and dryer is truly a luxury in the Caribbean but ever so practical as it can cut your packing in half. The unit was immaculate with housekeeping and pool keepers visiting us daily to see to our every need. The island itself is unique in that it is mountainous with natural vegetation. The Windjammer Villas are built in the cliffs which depending on your unit can be a little challenging to walk. They do offer on property free shuttles when you leave your unit to take you anywhere on the resort you want to go. Very prompt friendly service I might add. Our little oasis was 45 steps from the drive to our front door. Worth every step! Everyone at the resort was extremely friendly and knew the meaning of hospitality. Upon our arrival at the resort we checked in and completed our paper work. They offered us a refreshing beverage, on the house. The welcome was a truly needed relief from our long journey to get there. We flew into the Hewanorra Airport (UVF) on the south side of the island and it was a good little drive up to the resort in paradise. Courtesy Car Rental picked us up in our rental car and drove us to the resort and returned us to the airport on our departure. No extra fee. Any activity you want to do can be arranged there at the resort and the guides are so helpful in planning and making the most out of your limited time. We were able to horseback ride on the beach, a tree top adventure and take a sunset cruise on a pirate ship. All for $475 USD for the 2 of us. We did dine at our villa mostly but those meals we did eat at the resort were quite tasty. They also have a small market on site to help with untimely snacking craves. Again I cannot even express what a lovely experience we had at the Windjammer Landing. Being in the travel industry myself we have been blessed to visit most islands in the Caribbean and I can honestly state this was the nicest and cleanest accommodations we have ever had. Hats off to Beverly in reservations for making our stay a dream come true and our week so memorable.

We exchanged into this resort 12/06. We could not have been happier. The location is breathtaking. The accommodations are spacious and have daily maid service. The views are million dollar. The on-site restaurants and bars were above average. Great activities and spa as well.

We enjoyed it so much we bought a resale unit from Red Week.

Excellent full service resort, I love it here. The villas are unique and the staff is amazing. You will want to spend your entire vacation on site but force yourself to see this beautiful island.
