He took us to Jalousie (Jah-loo-SEE) Plantation which used to be a Hilton but is now something else. The beach sits directly between the two Pitons—Gros and Petite. Their website is http://www.thejalousieplantation.com/content/42.htm

This was a great excursion and well worth $45. Cosol is very pleasant and very funny. If you book with him and have the opportunity bring him apples (he loves apples and they are very expensive (over $5 per pound) in St Lucia.

Cosol took us to a type of "private beach club" away from the ship and away from the Soufrieres area.....forgot the name....sorry! but it was nice had plenty of facilities.

Can you request a particular beach for Cosol to take you, or is it the same every time?

[cruisingrightalong]

You can request beaches...he asks..close to ship or whatever...so if you have a particular one...just ask.

i have e-mailed him several times re:location of the beach. his website says it is reduit beach, but he has assured me that it will be at the jalousie hotel. this is a great location, so i booked the tour with him for january.

Is decent snorkeling available at the beach Cosol goes to?

 

Thanks.

a few years ago my family took a tour with a taxi driver who took us to a public area to swim between the pitons. the snorkeling was great, but you had to be a strong swimmer to swim against the flow. while it was not exactly at the jalousie, i believe it was nearby. that it why i booked this tour, to return to this area. the jaloussie,itself, is supposed to be a beautiful resort with a beautiful beach. other than my own experience at the isolated beach,though,the rest is second-hand info.

Just got back last Sunday from our trip on the AOS. We toured with Cosol and the beach that he took us to was Jalousie which is between the Pitons. It's in a hotel resort and he paid for us to get in to swim. It was gorgeous and our tour was practically the only people on the beach. Well worth going with Cosol. ; )

how long did you get to spend at the resort. going to thisbeach is our main reason for choosing cosol. we have seen the other sights at least once and some twice.

1 hour...it doesn't seem long but we had plenty of time to snorkel and didn't feel rushed.
