Saint Lucia’s Coconut Bay Beach Resort & Spa Unveils Multimillion-Dollar Upgrade Ahead of High Season, Including Room Renovations and New Dining Experiences

 VIEUX FORT, Saint Lucia (November 13, 2024) – Coconut Bay Beach Resort & Spa, Saint Lucia’s most popular Premium All-Inclusive, has completed a significant multimillion-dollar renovation project during its annual September closure. These enhancements focused on room transformations, dining experiences, wedding venues, a completely new Activity Pool deck and spa facilities will elevate the guest experience across the resort just in time for high season. 

In addition to the annual steam deep cleaning of the rooms, extensive remodeling started earlier this year into the September closure will have transformed 25% of the resort’s rooms by the end of November 2024. They are being fully renovated, replacing everything from electrical and plumbing to ceilings and flooring. New bathrooms, featuring bathtubs in the Splash wing and showers in the Harmony wing, are complemented by fresh fixtures, furniture, air conditioners, and soft furnishings throughout. All the resort’s 250 rooms are scheduled to be upgraded with completion expected at the end of 2025. 

The oceanfront Sanctuary Spa has undergone a total refresh, with all six treatment rooms completely updated with new sinks, countertops, and LED mirrors, creating an inviting space for rejuvenation. The spa’s two steam rooms have been retiled, while bathrooms have been upgraded with new tiles, fixtures, sinks, toilets, and showers. In the full-service beauty salon, new countertops and mirrors create a fresh ambiance. Guests can now unwind on a newly added outdoor relaxation deck, complete with comfortable loungers, and an enhanced spa menu and brochure will be introduced in mid-November. The interior overhaul now complements the six new oceanfront spa cabanas added earlier this year. 

One of the standout improvements is at the iconic Eternity Beach wedding venue, where a new deck replaces the sand aisle, creating a breathtaking infinity edge backdrop for weddings, unique in Saint Lucia. Guests can also lounge on the newly installed 10,000-square-foot travertine-tiled deck surrounding the Activity Pool or book one of the 11 new oceanfront beach cabanas, available for half- or full-day rentals. 

In November, the resort will debut its new à la carte vegan restaurant, Seasons, seating 50 guests and sharing a space with the Wedding Center, now equipped with its own kitchen for hosting receptions and group events. The whimsical Jerk Tree House restaurant, built around a seagrape tree, has been expanded to offer more seating options and features new flooring, decking, and bannisters. A new lobby café with dedicated seating will offer barista-served coffee from 7am to 9pm daily and Afternoon Tea along with fresh pastries and small bites through the day. 

Additional refreshments throughout the resort include new paint in the CocoLand Kidz Klub, lobby, and hallways, and marble countertops in the Lobby Bar, Guest Services, and Concierge Desk. The resort’s welcoming new entrance road and lush landscaping set the tone for the upgrades awaiting guests throughout the property. 

In addition to these physical improvements, General Manager John Miles emphasized Coconut Bay’s continued commitment to investing in staff training, ensuring that team members are fully equipped to meet evolving guest expectations. President and CEO Mark Adams noted, “We are dedicated to maintaining our competitive edge by continuously reinvesting in our resort and creating fresh, new experiences for our returning guests each high season. We greatly value our guests’ input, which plays a crucial role in shaping our annual improvements and upgrades, and we look forward to their feedback on these exciting enhancements.”
