Tides Resort Coming to St Lucia in 2010

One door closes, another door opens: the Jalousie Plantation is going to close up in early summer 2009, but hold your breath for a year and it will reemerge as The Tides Sugar Beach in 2010. It sounds like it could be worth the wait, too.

The setting for this resort is in the Valley of the Pitons, a World Heritage listed site thanks to its many acres of rainforest and perfect white beaches. The developers will spend over $100 million on the renovation including setting up a spa complex and restaurants with locally grown food to give it that little sustainable touch.

This the first "Tides" resort in the Caribbean, but they're already operating in Mexico and Florida with the common theme of beautiful beaches. No word on room rates yet but unfortunately we remember stinging prices like the $8,000 week at the Tides Riviera Maya.
