Rendezvous is the first holiday in St. Lucia dedicated to the idea that great couples deserve a special place in the sun they can call their own. On this storybook island, Rendezvous is the storybook escape exclusively for the man and woman who happily choose to share their lives. http://www.caribbeanmag.com/search/hotels/St_Lucia/rendezvous/hotel/1162/12/ en-us Copyright 1998 e-TravelMedia.com/CaribbeanMag.com Mon, 6 Oct 2008 11:43:48 EST We provide everything you need to create an idyllic time in an idyllic place. Without the distraction of children or singles or the noisy hubbub of your every-day life putting pressure on the relationship, you find every opportunity to nourish your unique bond. We even liberate you from concern for money because just about everything is included. Rendezvous is, above all, an Eden -- a tropical garden by the sea where you can rediscover what made you a great couple in the first place. Other couples-only holidays offer you the frenetic pace of what feels like a singles bar! If you like music blaring on the beach all day, if you like being prodded into doing what the staff thinks is holiday-camp fun and games, Rendezvous is not for you. Rendezvous is a holiday created by romantics for romantics. We don't have lots of restaurants and noisy crowds that stifle intimacy, but we do offer the finest candlelit dining you will ever experience together. It is a truly intimate, gentle, tranquil escape from all that jars you and separates you in the real world. Everything you do (and if you choose, there is lots to do) is geared to your desires, your preferences, your special wants and needs as a couple in the company of other like-minded couples. In a word, Rendezvous gets in your heart, not in your face! All 100 rooms and suites at this resort are air-conditioned and furnished in Caribbean style, with bright colors and natural rattan or hardwood furniture. Private balconies and terraces face the sea and feature hammocks or steamer chairs. Guestrooms have four-poster beds, sometimes accompanied by soft mosquito netting. Marble accents in the bathrooms, adjustable lighting, CD players, and ceiling fans can be found in most rooms.
