Jamaica vs. St. Lucia?

I looked through the board and couldn't find anything on this, but forgive me if someone's already posted on this topic. FH and I are trying to decide between Jamaica and St. Lucia. We'll probably do a Sandals resort at either one. Does anyone have any advice one way or the other? I suspect St. Lucia might be a little more expensive, but I feel like it might also be safer/nicer. Any suggestions either way would be appreciate. TIA!

Re: Jamaica vs. St. Lucia?

  • I have been to both places...Jamaica 4 x's and St. Lucia 2x's.St.Lucia WILL be more expensive, but with good reason imo. SL is absolutely amazing! If you can afford St. Lucia i would definitely go there without hesitation.I like Jamaica, love the people, do not feel unsafe there, and negril has some of the most beautiful beaches ive ben too. St. Lucia is lush and mountainous, getting around is easier because most of the activities are closer together. I prefer the southern part of the island...there are no sandals there. (im not a fan)I felt very safe in SL as well, a bit less poverty than J.Maybe because ive been to both...but the way i look at it is...jamaica is nice, but i can always go to j...st. lucia is special and i wont be able to go back as often and cheaply as i can go to j.

  • I've been to Jamaica 2x and I've never been to St. Lucia.I think Jamaica is beautiful and awesome but St. Lucia looks sooo incredible. It's more exotic and I believe it's been referred to as the Hawaii of the Caribbean b/c of the Pitons.If I had to chose, I'd just St. Lucia and not just b/c I've already been to Jamaica... I just think St. Lucia is more "honeymoon" ish...
  • I've been to both. St. Lucia is a bit more costly but well worth it.  Links to our pics and review of St. Lucia are at the bottom of my siggy pics. Here's the link to the pics from Jamaica:  http://www.kristiandkerry.com/HTML/Galleries.php?gallery_id=178That will take you to day one photos of Jamaica, once you are in you can get to the other 6 days.IMHO if you have the money got to St. Lucia..it's much nicer.
