Where: Saint Lucia

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?

· Jade Mountain
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 architectural, organic masterpieces, and it's consistently ranked as the top Caribbean resort, with room rates (starting from $1,200 a night) to reflect its pedigree. Infinity pools, open-air sanctuary suites and ridiculously awesome views complete the package. It was up on it's Celestial Terrace that Jake chose his final girl.

· BodyHoliday LeSPORT
For dinner with Tenley on their final date, Jake took her to this resort known for its attention to healthy and fresh cuisine, which also happens to have stunning views of the sunset. We stayed here only a few weeks prior to The Bachelor's arrival, care of the St. Lucia Tourism Board, and we are not surprised they chose this remote resort that intoxicates with its beauty.

· Anse Chastanet
A sister resort of Jade Mountain, it sits a little closer to the beach but still claims stunning views of the Pitons from the open-air suites. It was here, in a suite, that Jake and Vienna had their "fantasy suite card" night.

· Cap Maison
As the site of the last few rose ceremonies, Cap Maison claimed a lot of screen time. It's a small boutique hotel, and just up from the BodyHoliday LeSPORT resort, but it seems miles away from everything for Jake, since this is where his most important decisions take place. To celebrate the show, Cap Maison has devised a "Proposal Package," should you wish to get down on one knee, Jake and Vienna-style. More info on that here.

· Arc En Ciel
This 5-room ultra-boutique property served as a home-away-from-home for Jake's family, who came to St. Lucia to meet his final few and give (or withhold) their blessings. It's more villa rental than hotel, but the fact that it's located between the Piton mountains and it has a swim-in cave pool might make you forget that fact.

· La Jalousie Plantation
This was the scintillating setting for Jake's "fantasy suite card" night with Tenley. Even though she didn't win the man, Jalousie isn't going to look at the negative; instead, they've launched their own Bachelor package for couples to milk a little island magic for themselves. More info on that here.
