A variety of different recreational pursuits is not necessary for a memorable vacation. While some will be happier at a resort with many different activities available, others are perfectly content with very few recreational amenities, because all they really care about is having a comfortable, relaxing place to stay. Although the hotel doesn't provide a very extensive array of recreational offerings the Bay Gardens Hotel may have just what you're looking for.

Water and Fitness

Since there is a swimming pool at the hotel, there are a lot of ways to stay cool while lounging in the sun. Although sipping ice cold beverages by the hotel pool may be the perfect way to relax on your vacation, you might also enjoy an invigorating swim at the end of the day.

Tennis

The hotel doesn't have a tennis court, so if tennis is important to you, this may not be the ideal hotel. This isn't a big issue for most guests, who find plenty of other activities to entertain them during their stay.

If you're a tennis enthusiast you might want to compare this hotel to some others that also offer tennis – particularly those with high ratings for tennis. A couple of other hotels that may be worth considering include Jalousie Plantation and Sandals Regency St. Lucia Golf Resort & Spa.
