Early Christmas treat at Jalousie ....

James and I were offered a night at the beautiful Jalousie hotel which is just south of the village of Soufriere, nestled between the world famous Pitons. So we packed our overnight bags and headed south.....

We always stop here to take in the great view of Soufriere and what a view....

We have arrived hooray!

Yes, even in St Lucia on a hot and sunny holiday season you get an impressive Christmas tree ... What a welcome at Jalousie

The Jalousie hotel was originally a working sugar plantation you can still see evidence of it on the grounds

For more photos and a bit more history on Jalousie check out the Jus'sail Blog

We finally got to our room .... Gorgeous!

A deep bath made for two .....

And there's more .....

We finally decided to leave the room and head down to the beach which is set between the famous Piton's

And before you hit the beach you pass the great house I just had to have a photo

Beautiful gardens with the gorgeous flowers .....

And the impressive pool area 

Ah the beach!

St lucia is one of those romantic places where couples come to get married .....

We stayed on the beach until the sun went down .....

Happy days ..... and many more to come!
