<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6193/Chocolattt2.jpg" class="top"> We have a confession to make. Just over a year ago, while on a visit to the Fond Deux Cocoa Plantation Hotel on the Caribbean island of Saint Lucia (see those awesome pics <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/11/3/124739/527/hotels/Inside_The_Fond_Doux_Cocoa_Plantation_Hotel_In_St_Lucia">here</a>), we inadvertently trespassed on the edge of a new hotel property. Don't worrya guard stopped us after emerging from a gingerbread-looking guardhouse. Where the heck were we? As it turns out, it was the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hotel+Chocolat/local/4783">Hotel Chocolat</a>, which just opened February 28. The Hotel Chocolat isn't so named because it sounds pretty; the place is high up on the island, within the actual chocolate-producing, 18th-century Rabot cocoa estate. The hotel was constructed here because its British owners are themselves crazy for the

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6193/JakeatJade.jpg" class="top"> Last night, the 14th season of 'The Bachelor' came to an appropriately romantic end amongst the dreamlike, exotic environs of the island of Saint Lucia. Since St. Lucia is known as a seriously romantic destination, we weren't too surprised that the crew hauled Jake the pilot and his final three girls down there, but we were shocked at how much they got around the island's many luxurious hotels. Let's break them down, shall we? · <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/10/30/131233/12/hotels/Guess_the_Hotel_Revealed_Jade_Mountain_In_St_Lucia">Jade Mountain</a> This is without a doubt the most important hotel of them all, so we're starting with it. It's where Jake stayed, and it's where the pivotal decision moment happened at the end of the season. Jade Mountain is an

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6193/Bachelor3.jpg" class="top"> We don't know about you, but the ABC Show "The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love" has us falling more in love with the romantic island of St. Lucia more than the hunky pilot who stars, and his three potential mates with whom he's traveled to this tropical place. Jake Pavelka, a pilot for Atlantic Southeast Airlines, is nearing the end of his reality television search for his love, and the cast and crew of the show have flown down to St. Lucia, known as a honeymoon paradise, for the final couple episodes Amongst all the bikinis and sunset smooching, we get glimpses of Jake's fabulous "Fantasy Suite" at <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/10/30/131233/12/hotels/Guess_the_Hotel_Revealed_Jade_Mountain_In_St_Lucia">Jade Mountain Resort</a>, which we visited ourselves

If Only Our Bottom Looked Like This Every Time We Checked Out of a Hotel

Hmmm...we don't recall seeing this garden topiary during our stay at the Body Holiday LeSport in St. Lucia last fall but that's what the hotel is showing off in their print ads. If only our bottoms looked liked this after a week in a hotel. Usually, three days into a hotel stay and we're already walking around with a top button on our pants permanently loosened.

Then again, the hotel's mission statement is to combine a relaxing luxury hotel stay with fitness and wellness programs so showing off a perfect backside makes sense. After all, they couldn't use Amy Winehouse as a spokesmodel, could they?
