Gorgeous resort and an incredible spa! My daughter and I each got a one hour massage and it was absolutely amazing! Nice treat for yourself if you're looking to splurge! Expensive but not overly so. Wonderful staff too!

Viator is a great site to book tours. The drive through volcano, mud bath Ave waterfall are amazing! We took a private boat/ land tour from Gros Islet and did all of these things before hitting Sugar Beach. Incredible!
