Package
I visited Bay Gardens Marina Haven with my partner in December to celebrate his birthday. This was my second time visiting Bay Gardens Marina Haven but this was my first time spending the night.
We had called to make the reservation over the telephone and selected an all-inclusive package. We both love to eat so we wanted access to unlimited drinks and food.
The friendly receptionist informed us over the telephone that we were not allowed to visit the other Bay Gardens resorts due to the current coronavirus disease pandemic.
Ordinarily guests would have access to the Bay Gardens Family inclusive of Bay Gardens Inn, Bay Gardens Hotel and Bay Gardens Resort & Spa. Could you imagine that guests with an all-inclusive package have access to some of the services provided at all of the Bay Gardens Family!
What a great deal! We really missed out on that deal due to the pandemic! Guests could enjoy all the services provided at the Bay Gardens Family by simply charging services to their room.
Plus you get access to Splash Island Water Park. Book at the front desk and ask about hopping at the Bay Gardens Family!
Splash Island Water Park
Splash Island Water Park is a water sports park located on Reduit Beach. It is filled with water slides almost like an obstacle course. It is a fun experience! It reminded me of the American television show “WipeOut” the first time I tried it!
Heartbeat
Bay Gardens Marina Haven is in a perfect location. It is located in the heart of the entertainment zone in Rodney Bay. Bay Gardens Marina Haven is directly opposite the Rodney Bay Marina!
Bay Gardens Marina Haven is about a 5 minute drive from the Reduit Beach and all the other popular amenities in the area. The hotel is located about 20 minutes from the City of Castries and 90 minutes from Vieux Fort.
We are here
We parked at the free parking area and headed to the hotel. We went through security as he checked our temperature and ensured we sanitized our hands.
We confirmed our reservations through the front desk and was then taken to our room by the security guard. He ensured that all the electronics were functional.
Checked in
We checked in at 4 p.m. on the Saturday and had to check out at 5 p.m. on the Sunday. Check out is usually at 11 a.m. but you could do a late checkout depending on the availability of the room. Check with the front desk!
Our room
The air conditioned room included a closet with a safe, ironing board and iron. There was a telephone, cable television, coffee marker, refrigerator, kitchen utensils and an assortment of tea.
The bathroom contained a hair dryer, towels and rags. The soap, shower gel, shampoo, conditioner and lotion were in a wall dispenser so you press and release to receive.
View from the room!
Our room had a balcony with a view of the pool and hotel, it was really unique. The sky, pool and the painting of the hotel seemed like one. My sight was pleased and I felt like I was in a baby blue world. The balcony had lots of cool breeze.
The room also had a garden view because it was towards the back of the hotel close to a garden.
?
As we explored the three story hotel, I realized that the only area to relax was at the poolside or in the balcony.
On first impression I wondered what we would do for fun and what activities were available. It made me feel a bit disappointed because I felt like the package was not worth the price.
We tried!
We decided to go for a swim in the pool about after 6 p.m. Who were we kidding!? The water was extremely cold so the attempt was unsuccessful. It was actually funny so we had a good laugh at ourselves.
Day light view
Anchor restaurant
Anchor Restaurant is the only restaurant to dine in at Bay Gardens Marina Haven. It is small and cozy! Anchor Restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.
We were not provided with a food menu but the waiter clearly outlined the options available. There is a bar in the restaurant so you could have a drink at the bar and watch soccer.
The way to my heart!
After eating the food, I said I saw the reason the hotel is more on the pricy side. Words cannot describe the taste, smell and presentation of the food because it was so well done.
Arrival food
Chicken burger and fries were served with fruits. The tartar sauce on the fries was perfect! The fries were crunchy and well done. We asked for a burger to take to the room because it was that good! I was impressed with the food for the first attempt.
Dinner
The area was decorated with birthday decorations and the staff sung happy birthday. It was a really lovely gesture on their part. My partner was really excited and surprised. I felt like it was my birthday during the singing because I was excited too.
Shrimp cocktail
The shrimp cocktail included fried shrimp, honey dew, cantaloupe, bell peppers and lettuce served with a sweet sauce. The shrimps were jumbo and the mixture of the vegetables and sauce was too delicious. The sweetness of the bell peppers and honey dew gave the salad an extra special taste.
BBQ chicken
The dinner menu included chicken or fish with the available sides and of course we chose barbeque chicken! The barbeque chicken had a pinch of ginger that gave it extra flavouring along with the honey barbeque sauce.
The food made me dance! The mashed potato was creamy and thick! Yum Yum Yom yom! I told the waiter to give the compliments to the chef and inform him that the presentation was A+.
Rich chocolate cake
Dessert included chocolate cake served with vanilla ice cream. The chocolate cake was rich, chocolatey and not too sweet. It was tasty!
Banana bread was wrapped and given to us, how thoughtful. That was unexpected! The staff for the night were tremendously friendly and helpful.
Later during the night, I craved the chocolate cake. I should have asked for some to take to the room!
Breakfast
Breakfast started off with yoghurt and fruits. We then ordered croissant, pancakes, sausage, bacon, salad, eggs and chocolate cake.
I ordered my eggs filled with peppers, onions, ham, mushrooms and cheese! I love food!
Lunch
We opted for the chicken stir fry, shrimp stir fry and salad for lunch.
I had the shrimp stir fry which I really enjoyed and my partner took the chicken stir fry. The texture of the spaghetti was prepared just how I love it. It was not too soft nor too firm.
Dessert
Pizza
We also ordered a pizza, chocolate cake and chocolate ice cream to seal lunch!
Blue paradise
If you are looking for a quiet, small and intimate hotel to relax then this is the spot. The poolside is heart melting.
You are barely able to differentiate the colour of the pool from the painting on the hotel and even from the sky. They really formed one uniform master piece.
Relaxing on a pool chair keeps you at ease as you enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and picture perfect scenery.
Interesting fact
Bay Gardens Inn, Bay Gardens Hotel and Bay Gardens Resort & Spa are all within close range. If you want a beach bath then Bay Gardens Marina Haven is a mere 20 minute walk from the beach. Even closer if you drive!
Bay Gardens Resorts offer many options so you could have a Bay Gardens experience by choosing to stay on the Reduit Beachfront, within the Rodney Bay Village or The Rodney Bay Marina!
Take your pick.
Tropical island experience
I enjoyed watching the sun set over the yachts. The view of the marina was breath taking. It gives you a tropical island experience. You see the beautiful wavy mountains, the green trees and the sea.
Enjoyable
I had an enjoyable stay. I loved the unique shape of the pool. I loved that the hotel was not too crowded as it was mostly quiet. I loved the food and drinks so my palate was fully satisfied from the moment I arrived.I loved it all!
Free Wi-Fi was available throughout the hotel with no interruptions in connection.
The hotel is wheelchair friendly for persons confined to a wheelchair and there is an elevator available although it was out of use during our stay.
Room service was available until 9 p.m.
Yes you can!
Book a night stay or a day pass to chill by the pool, enjoy the food and relax!

Great read Rema . After this raving review, I am definitely going to spend a night for my birthday. I heard that they offer some affordable all inclusive packages. Thank you for sharing 💓💓💓
Thank you for reading Candilia! Do have a wonderful time and happy birthday in advance 😊
I just got back from spending a night there, the food was tasty, my only problem is that the door facing the back yard was so noisy all night long but I am not complaining since it was my only issue. The experience was awesome. Thank you Bay gardens.
Nice to hear you had an awesome experience Dan!
