What's IncludedWhats our guest are saying
Posted on TripadvisorVerified Stolen time, a superb choice This was our third visit in 8 years and as usual, it didn’t disappoint. It is difficult for us to find a different hotel that offers the same atmosphere as Stolen Time, which is why when visiting St.Lucia, we wouldn’t go anywhere else. We arrived in late July, which was ideal during the quieter period and met some wonderful fellow guests, British, American, Canadian + the BA crew! Having been to several places in the Caribbean, the staff here are amongst the friendliest and most genuine we have ever met. Tipping is not expected however; I always leave a large tip on check out which is shared to all staff members. A much better way of showing your appreciation as there's a lot of staff behind the scenes working hard to give you a fantastic experience. All meals in every restaurant were of a very high standard with plenty of variety. My wife has a severe food allergy which was taken seriously here. The chefs often making separate sauces full of flavour and spice to go with her meal, and ensuring no contamination whilst cooking. This detail puts Stolen Time well above other hotels we’ve stayed at. I don’t understand some negative reviews with the alcoholic beverages, if you want a premium brand just ask for it, nothing is too much trouble. We have no hesitation in recommending Stolen Time to anyone, which is why our daughter has booked her honeymoon there next year. We are also retuning next year to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary! The fantastic staff throughout the hotel are nothing short of magnificent! So many of them became friends rather than employees! You felt so special, as everyone remembered your name after a couple of days! They chatted happily but always treated you with respect and kindness!! Lisa, the general manager, has achieved an excellent atmosphere and ethos, after taking over from Jasmine, maintaining the high standards which makes this hotel unique and an excellent choice to stay.Posted on TripadvisorVerified Lovely relaxing beach holiday Lovely hotel on a beautiful beach just outside Castries. It’s a 90 min drive from the main airport but the hotel arranged a transfer which was fine. We booked a beachfront cottage which was spacious and had its own loungers on the beach. The decor is a little dated but the bed was great, and good coffee and toiletries. Food was excellent. Buffets for breakfast and lunch were varied and of high quality, and dinner was also very good and the portions weren’t massive which to be honest was good for us. A wide range of activities were offered and we tried out pickleball, yoga, Pilates and used the gym a lot as well as hiking and a visit to Pigeon Island. There is also musical entertainment each night. What makes this though is the staff. They are lovely and helpful and really make you feel welcome. We’d never done the Caribbean or self-inclusive before but we would definitely come back here.Posted on TripadvisorVerified Stolentime has great staff! Stolen time was outstanding. Really helpful and accommodating staff!!!Posted on TripadvisorVerified Simply Wonderful Absolutely superb. Best place I've ever stayed. Worth every penny. Uncrowded, with a relaxed vibe. Great staff. Stunning beach. Excellent activities (if you want them). Nice food. Reasonably priced spa. Brilliant. Felt like a new man afterwards.Posted on TripadvisorVerified Wonderful holiday We recently spent a wonderful 10 nights at Stolentime and had one of the best holidays we have ever had. So much so that we are looking to go back next year, but will hopefully stay for longer. One of the main things that made it for us were all the team who work there. It seemed that they could not do enough for us. Everyone said hello and were were often asked if everything was OK. The guys are all a credit to Stolentime. Our room was spacious and cleaned daily. Coffee was also replaced daily and fresh milk was supplied when requested. It was very comfortable. We enjoyed relaxing on the beach and once the bar guys know we were there, they come over regularly to check if we needed drinks. And were always checking if we needed water. We ate in both the Thyme and Malabar as well as the restaurant and the food was the best we have ever had on a holiday. We loved the Malabar restaurant. Yes, it wasn't open every lunchtime and evening, but there was still lovely food served in the main restaurant. The bar area was also very nice. There was always somewhere to sit and drinks were always brought over to us with smiles and a little chat. We also enjoyed going out on the Hobby Cat. Is was nice to see the resort and surrounding area from the sea. We would highly recommend Stolentime and are looking forward to returningPosted on TripadvisorVerified Amazing honeymoon! Can’t wait to go back! My husband and I stayed at Stolen Time for our honeymoon from Sunday through Saturday, and it was an absolutely spectacular experience. We stayed in one of the beachfront cottages, and it was everything we could have hoped for and more. We visited during the off-season in October, so the resort itself was very quiet, and several nights felt like we had private dining experiences. The beautiful beachfront setting and peaceful atmosphere made it such a special place to celebrate our honeymoon. The food was outstanding and, by far, the best food I have ever experienced at an all-inclusive resort. Every meal was something to look forward to, and two of our servers specifically , Jacy and Makayla, helped make our dining experiences even more memorable. They were so kind, welcoming, and attentive, and we truly appreciated their hospitality. Everyone we encountered at the resort was incredibly friendly and genuinely cared about making our stay special. I also absolutely loved scuba diving during our stay! Getting to explore the beautiful underwater world of Saint Lucia was such a memorable experience and a highlight of our honeymoon. A special thank-you to Danny and Monique at the scuba shop for being so sweet and welcoming and helping make our water activities even more enjoyable. A couple of things worth noting for future guests: the bed in our cottage was quite firm, which may come down to personal preference. They provided us a mattress topper the next day which fixed it. Also, although the resort itself was peaceful, the beach could be busier than we expected over the weekend, with families and children nearby. This is worth keeping in mind if you’re hoping for a completely quiet, adults-only beach experience. However, all beaches in Saint Lucia are public, so this is not something unique to Stolen Time or something the resort can fully control. Overall, Stolen Time was a wonderful place to spend our honeymoon, and we are so grateful for the memories we made there. Between the beautiful beachfront cottage, exceptional food, peaceful resort atmosphere, incredible scuba diving, and genuinely outstanding staff, our stay was truly special. We would absolutely recommend Stolen Time to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable getaway in Saint Lucia!Posted on TripadvisorVerified A Wonderful Diving Vacation at Stolentime – 60 Years and Still Going Strong First and foremost, my wife and I would like to congratulate the past and present owners, as well as the entire management team, on reaching an impressive 60th anniversary milestone. A resort does not remain successful for six decades without consistently doing many things right. We particularly enjoyed looking through the photographs in the Terrace Bar, showing the resort’s history and the wonderful “then and now” comparisons. It was a great opportunity to appreciate how much the resort has evolved over the years. Why We Chose Stolentime: we initially selected Stolentime because they were offering a scuba diving special for the month of September. As avid divers, we couldn’t think of a better way to enjoy an early fall vacation in St. Lucia. One of the things that sets Stolentime apart from many other all-inclusive resorts is the impressive number and variety of activities offered every day. Most days, activities began around 8:00 a.m. and continued throughout the day, with the final activities winding down around 6:00 p.m. There really does seem to be something for everyone, whether you want to be active or simply relax and enjoy the resort. For us, the scuba diving was a major attraction. The dive operation offered two-tank dives every day except Sunday and visited a variety of dive sites up and down the island. We were pleasantly surprised by how few guests took advantage of the diving program. On two occasions, we were actually the only divers on the boat, which made for a very personalized diving experience. Things Stolentime Does Well: as with all of our previous resort reviews, we like to point out the things a resort does particularly well, while also offering some constructive suggestions that may help make the guest experience even better. 1. Resort Improvements and Sustainability We noticed that the deck in front of the Terrace Restaurant was undergoing renovations. We were pleased to see that composite decking materials were being used rather than traditional wood. This should significantly reduce the ongoing maintenance requirements while providing a durable and attractive surface. We also noticed that much of the resort’s lighting has been upgraded to LED bulbs. This is a positive step toward reducing the resort’s overall energy consumption and electrical footprint. 2. Excellent Door Sweeps Our room had very good door sweeps installed on all of the exterior doors. This was a particularly pleasant surprise and a small but important detail in a tropical environment. They did an excellent job of keeping the unwanted “creepy crawlies” outside where they belong! 3. Great Dining Variety During our stay, we had no difficulty making restaurant reservations and were fortunate enough to have dinner at all three restaurants twice. Breakfast was primarily buffet-style, while lunch offered a combination of à la carte and buffet options. The Malabar Restaurant was our favorite place for lunch when it was open. We particularly appreciated the selection of local St. Lucian dishes offered alongside the more traditional North American choices. The catch-of-the-day fish and seafood dishes were among our favorites. It was nice to have opportunities to experience some of the local cuisine without sacrificing familiar choices. 4. Foot Baths Outside the Rooms This was the first resort we have visited that provided foot baths in front of every room. As beach and diving enthusiasts, we really appreciated this thoughtful feature. Being able to rinse the sand from our feet before entering the room was both convenient and practical. Constructive Feedback for Management: we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and the following comments are intended in the spirit of constructive feedback. We hope management will consider them as opportunities to further improve an already enjoyable resort experience. 1. Dive Boat Tank Straps The dive boat’s tank straps were in need of replacement. During our stay, only one of the straps was functioning properly. Given the importance of securing tanks safely and efficiently, we would strongly recommend replacing all of the straps. 2. Organizing the Dive Weights When there were more than four divers on the boat, we found it somewhat difficult to locate the appropriate amount of weight. Perhaps storing the weights in a container or organizing them in a more accessible manner would make it easier for divers and crew to quickly find what they need. 3. Availability of Enriched Air (Nitrox) My wife and I are young seniors, and we prefer to dive with enriched air (Nitrox) as part of our approach to reducing our nitrogen exposure and managing our dive profiles. We recognize that providing Nitrox involves additional costs and logistics for a dive operation. However, we believe offering it as an option would be a valuable addition for many divers, particularly those who dive frequently during their vacation. 4. Swim Out to the Dive Boat One aspect of the diving operation that we found unusual was the distance divers were expected to swim from shore to the anchored dive boat. We understand why the boat cannot be positioned too close to shore because of the obvious risks to swimmers, divers and the vessel itself. However, we noticed that when snorkelers were on board, the boat would move considerably closer to shore, reducing their required swim by approximately half. Perhaps a small shuttle boat with a small outboard motor could be considered as an alternative. We have experienced this arrangement at other dive operations, most recently in Costa Rica, and found that it worked very smoothly. It could make the diving experience considerably easier, particularly for older divers or guests carrying a full complement of dive equipment. 5. Terrace Restaurant Renovations We mentioned earlier that the Terrace Restaurant patio was undergoing renovations. While the improvements themselves are certainly positive, the temporary closure meant that guests heading to the oceanfront rooms had to walk through the space between the Terrace buffet and the restaurant tables. We felt this was somewhat disruptive for both the restaurant guests and the staff. We realize that renovations have to be completed while the resort is operating, and the work was already quite close to completion during our stay. Nevertheless, we wanted to mention it as something management may want to consider when planning future renovations. Overall Impression: we thoroughly enjoyed our time at Stolentime. The combination of activities, dining options, beautiful surroundings and, most importantly for us, the diving made for a wonderful vacation. It is clear that a great deal of effort has gone into maintaining the resort while continuing to make improvements for guests. Reaching 60 years is a remarkable accomplishment, and we congratulate everyone who has contributed to Stolentime’s success over the decades. We would happily recommend Stolentime to anyone considering a vacation in St. Lucia, particularly those who enjoy an active all-inclusive experience and want plenty of opportunities to explore the island both above and below the water. Thank you to the entire Stolentime team for a wonderful vacation. We look forward to returning and seeing what the next chapter brings!Posted on TripadvisorVerified Return to Stolen Time: “Sometimes you wanna go, Where everybody knows your name, And they're always glad you came” This was our second time to both St. Lucia and StolenTime. Our review reflects the when, the why, and the how my spouse and I travel. Both of us love to travel during very low season. For us, the benefits in this strategy are extraordinary. We were at Stolen Time from 26Aug2025 to 02Sep2025. Yes, late August has high heat, high humidity, and occasional intense rain, but it also has no crowds, greater interaction with the truly extraordinary Stolen Time staff, and the special possibility of doing something a bit extraordinary. Not-to-mention, the Costco travel deals particularly during this time are truly spectacular. Keep in mind that late August is particularly low season with few guests and generally a common time for resort staff taking their vacations but there is absolutely no waiting time for items at the resort’s breakfast griddle. Stolen Time is located within a 30 minute walk from Castries center, right on Vigie beach. George F. L. Charles Airport is just outside the resort gate to the southwest, but you would not know it since the one or two prop planes per day flying over the resort are not intrusive and only lend to the resort’s Fantasy Island like charm. More than once my spouse would sputter out the phrase “Da plane! Da plane!” upon the first sightings of an ascending propped aircraft. Choc Cemetery is parallel to the airport and just south of StolenTime. St. Lucian artist, and national cultural hero, Sir The Honourable Dunstan St. Omer, is buried at this cemetery. He designed the sharp and evocative national flag of Saint Lucia. Last year, we had traveled directly from Hewanorra International airport to StolenTime. This year, however, we decided to stay for six days in the Soufriere area, closer to the nature and then travel from Soufriere to Castries. The winding road journey can be done in far less than two hours, but as adventurers we decided to make an excursion of it with our hired driver Lionel and stopped every 20 minutes to visit an interesting shop or café or savor an unusual highlight along the road. We were warmly greeted at the Stolen Time reception area by Sheroib with cool towels and champagne and took a very short walk to our room. As we calmly strolled, we fondly greeted the great elderly Samaan tree that is at the heart of the resort and embraces all as well as the most unusual Cannonball tree with its mesmerizing flowers and round fruit growing along its trunk. The next morning just as we remembered the breakfast buffet was ample, diverse, and simply delicious. For breakfast, keep an eye out for the green figs and salt fish. The bakes are nice and fluffy and pair well with the cocoa tea. Our review last year last noted the extraordinary meals at Terrace, Thyme, and Malabar and this year’s review reinforces last year’s. You can’t go wrong with the catch of the day for either lunch or dinner. We chose the same type of room as last year, a beachfront room. On a clear day across the warm calm ocean you can easily see the blue-hued hilly profile of Martinique. Our return this year was guided by one fundamental objective- reconnecting with friends- both two-legged and four-legged from last year. We returned first of all to visit resort staff that we had come to know and stayed in contact throughout the year, such as Chef Kacy and wait staff Marguerita. We had very pleasant discussions with food and beverage manager Joseph and were surprised that he recognized us one year later. Although we didn’t take the brisk walk to the Vigie lighthouse with Miquel this year, he also remembered us as did Nixon from the terrace restaurant. My spouse and I have traveled throughout the Caribbean and have noted the stray cats and dogs frequently cross our paths. We now always travel with packaged dog and cat food to provide some relief and help out four-legged friends. We also returned to see how Stolen Time’s resort cats Bubbles, Midnight and Amber Mittens and the stray dog Penelope that lives right outside the resort gate in the staff parking area, were - all were doing well. Bubbles and soon after Midnight greeted us almost immediately. My spouse had treats for each. We soon found out that Amber Mitten in the past year had been adopted by a resort guest. One of the very noteworthy and admirable qualities about Stolen Time is that a considerable number of its staff cares for the strays that inevitably are abandoned, wander, and find sanctuary within its perimeter. Many resort guests form a bond with a four-legged friend during their stay and with the help of Sandra from the resort and the Bruno Project can diligently in a few days arrange the vet visits and paperwork needed for a wandering four-legged soul to become a new family member. We had met the stray dog Penelope last year on Vigie beach. My spouse and I have been working with the Bruno Project, based in Castries, to help her and other island stray dog’s welfare throughout the year. We had been in contact with the Bruno Project weeks before coming to Stolen Time and were prepared with packaged dog food for Penelope that afternoon when we first arrived. It was once again a pleasant surprise that resort security guard Albert remembered us. Just outside the guard gate in the staff area parking lot, we searched for Penelope. After calling her name a couple of times, she appeared from behind a couple of parked cars with tail wagging. To our surprise, there were two puppies in tow behind her. Penelope was spayed years before. We found that the new puppies had swollen stomach and after contacting the Bruno Project, discovered that they must have been left in the parking lot the previous evening since a local Bruno Project volunteer had fed Penelope earlier in week and had not noticed any other dogs. Penelope had become their adoptive aunt and was keeping an eye on the pups. It became our mission to feed the pups three times a day throughout our stay. We quickly ran out of our own supplies and thereafter walked the three minutes to the nearby Massy supermarket. Every morning security guards Albert and Vitoria greeted us as we brought pack provisions for Penelope and the pups. The little Massy supermarket is well stocked and a great place to also buy rum, spices, hot sauces, and cocoa sticks for cocoa tea at much lower prices than most anywhere. After the first couple of days, Penelope and the pups would come out of hiding at first call. During our stay, we also got to know all the stray cats as well as the kind Stolen Time staff that fed them. On our second evening at Stolen Time, we received an invite to a special dinner at Thyme restaurant held just for returning guests. At the special dinner, there were less than a dozen guests seated in a single rectangular table, perfectly arranged for a delightful three course special gourmet dinner that paired well with select wines served while conversing with other Stolen Time alumnae. Both my spouse and I reside in New England and had a very engaging conversation with a family trio from the UK. During most afternoons and early evenings, we were on the beach or in the warm ocean water in front of our room. Typically after a warm rain shower, a rainbow would appear floating above the resort. Sometime we would go to the cool air-conditioned gym for a mild workout. In the evenings, we would watch surreal painted sunsets as local children played in the water and young lovers walked hand-in-hand as summer slowly waned. Stolen Time is an adults only resort but St. Lucia’s beaches are for everyone, as they should be! Taking care of the local strays with the frequent visits to Massy became our vacation job. Fortunately, Stolen Time’s Spa in the Garden was there to soothe any sore muscle. The couple’s message was so relaxing that for the second year in a row, one of us snored right through the entire message session! Stolen Time has lots of scheduled activities for guests. The one we liked most was the basket weaving with talented wood sculptor Russell. Since we had been touring in the Soufriere area the previous week, we limited excursions. We went to Pointe Seraphine for shopping, great deals during low seasons, and then unexpectedly arranged for two somewhat odd excursions: once to the nearby Scotland's Veterinary Services Ltd and then to the National Diagnostic Facility in Union, Saint Lucia. Stolen Time was very helpful in providing driver Bill for both of these rather odd excursions, which were entirely due to a very emaciated and needy cat that we encountered near the gutter at the resort’s entrance gate. We named the cat LuLu (short for Lucia Lucia). Towards the end of our stay, we decided to adopt Lulu and bring her back to the States. At both the local vet and government facility, we found prompt, professional, and very courteous attention and service. Today, Lulu is thriving with us. We also found a number of staff that would help feed with Penelope and the pups until our return. Cheers to StolenTime and its wonderful staff! “Where everybody knows your name and are they’re always glad you came!”Load more
