On a recent visit there on P&O Cruises Britannia I went on one of their excursions to the beautiful Reduit Beach in the Rodney Bay area of the island. Take a look at the video I made to see the soft sand and crystal-clear Caribbean water. Watch my video of Reduit Beach in St Lucia …

But overall, it is not a very handy destination for tourists as far from the shopping areas and Central Park etc. Overall, I liked the room a lot but the noise of construction did wake me up earlier…
