Bethall: I agree, Jamaica is rubbish, they ram Bob Marley down your throat for the whole 2 week stay. Service was terrible which just seemed to be something you have to accept as everything is 'I ree' (alright) and locals are so relaxed they cant be bothered. Bunch of lazy locals and you cant go out anywhere as you run the risk of being pestered by locals or worse. At the hotel I stayed at they booked us on the wrong day for an excursion, after waiting outside the hotel for 30 mins without the coach appeared I queried it and the woman told me she had booked it for the day after by mistake but no apology at all. I would never go back.

Stayed in Rodney Bay a few years ago and the resort was fine. Avoided Castries in the evening but had no problems during the day. Good market and some very friendly bars. Grenada is so much better though. Travelled freely all over the island with never a hint of trouble. Fantastic island, looking to return this year. The only place I would never venture to again is Jamaica. Hated the whole place and was restricted to a gated resort which could have been anywhere. Went to Bob Marleys house and was lucky to return back. Never again.

You go fully inclusive son and behave yourself , Barbados is the best island . 18 30 boozer it ain't , should be for romance and sea sports . The Brits have probably fucked it up . Keep your head down and enjoy your fully inclusive resort , relax and enjoy st Lucia , it's gorgeous, the right people will love you .

I'm not normally a fan of gated resorts either, but did one in Grenada last year and it was really nice (was pretty new mind) - however, did also go out to explore the island and had chosen Grenada specifically because it was a dafe one to do so

Joe C ~ Think that's pretty sound advice & you're correct in saying that Granada is safer than St Lucia at the moment
However, much as I personally hate gated resorts, that's probably the best bet for most of the islands, sadly the way things are at the moment!

ILPDC - Jamaica is just as bad.
As others have said, for St Lucia you really want to be in a resort. Grenada is a better bet if you're not

The Pitons are nice. Did a catamaran trip out to them which was worthwhile but from what I've read on here I am glad we didn't stray onto dry land.
I know shortly before we went that a coach of tourists from a cruise ship were robbed at gunpoint (I think).
