An Adventure a la 'The Amazing Race' at The Landings St. Lucia

Where: Rodney Bay 1, Castries, Saint Lucia

Surely you've been following Season 14 of "The Amazing Race." But if your Sunday evenings are spent watching or doing other things, then surely you've been following Jaunted's extensive, detailed and on-the-money coverage of the series, right?

Surely. Then you know that the “pit stop prize” that (spoiler alert!) Margie and Luke snagged on last night's episode of the 'round-the-world competition was a five night vacay at the swanky Landings at St. Lucia.

Lucky them. But you don't have to be an Amazing Race contestant to get the same sort of experience: today, the hotel has introduced the "One Amazing Adventure" package to coincide with the airing of last night's eppy, which offers major savings and cool activities during your stay.

Score a Deal Before That Last Nail is Hammered

Where: Rodney Bay, Castries, Saint Lucia, British West Indies

There’s a lot that sucks about staying at a resort that opens in phases: construction noise, the smell of paint, not being able to indulge in the spa. But there is one distinct advantage to staying at an in-limbo property: deep discounts.

The Landings St. Lucia, A RockResort, currently is one of those hotels, unveiling the second of its four-phase construction this December. Then, the hotel will debut another restaurant, two tennis courts and two pools, as well as an additional 60 one-, two- and three-bedroom villa suites, featuring kitchens, balconies and some with heated, jetted plunge pools.

Which all sounds too lovely to be able to afford!

Which is why you should take advantage of the hotel’s discounts before the whole thing is complete and The Landings starts asking full price. Check out for instance, the Fourth Night Free promotion, which also includes a $100 resort credit, or the Endless Summer Special that gives 32 percent off.

So as long as you don’t mind construction noise and the smell of paint, sounds like you’ve got a nice inexpensive vacation planned.

Party of Four: St. Lucia Girlfriend Getaway

Where: Rodney Bay, Castries, Saint Lucia

With the "Sex and the City" movie right around the corner (it opens May 30), you might be reminiscing about all those Sunday nights in college when you and three of your girlfriends made cosmos, watched the show and the spent the remainder of the evening debating who was the real-life Carrie in your little clan. Lucky for you, you don't need to just reminisce, now that you're older and (hypothetically) can afford to live the glamorous lifestyle upheld by the show.

Gather up the BFFs for a getaway to The Landings St. Lucia, A RockResort, with the property's "Girls Rock" package. Available through December 19, it includes accommodations in a two-bedroom suite; a one-hour sailing lesson and unlimited sailboat rentals; private cooking class and wine tasting with the hotel's executive chef; a 50-minute massage treatment each day; an in-room make-your-own-drinks bar; and a CD from a local steel drum band.

The package requires a five-night minimum stay, with room rates starting at $257 per person, per night, based on quadruple occupancy. Although we're pretty sure Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha didn't share rooms that time they want to Atlantic City, but whatevs.  Worth noting is that the hotel is currently in stage two of a four-stage development, which won't be complete until September 2010.
