TORONTO — Bay Gardens Resorts is expanding its portfolio to four hotels on the island of Saint Lucia.

The hotel group has announced its acquisition of the 35-room Palm Haven Hotel, to be renamed Bay Gardens Marina Haven.

“The hotel is in an incredible location,” says Sanovnik Destang, Executive Director of Bay Gardens Resorts. “It’s now our closest hotel to the Rodney Bay Marina, which is an exceptional facility for yachties as well as those looking to take advantage of numerous activities in the marina, from restaurants and bars to shopping.”

The newest addition to the Bay Gardens family of hotels will re-open in mid-July after undergoing a soft renovation and staff training to align service delivery at the property with Bay Gardens’ standards.

Located in St. Lucia’s Rodney Bay area, Bay Gardens Resorts currently consists of three hotels: Bay Gardens Inn, Bay Gardens Hotel and Bay Gardens Beach Resort & Spa.

There is no reduction in staffing levels planned for Bay Gardens Marina Haven either during the period of renovation or upon its anticipated reopening in July, said Destang assured.

The hotel is within a five-minute drive of Bay Gardens Inn and Bay Gardens Hotel and 10 minutes from the Beach Resort.

Destang says Marina Haven guests will get the full benefits of a Bay Gardens experience, including six complimentary one-hour passes to Splash Island Water Park, the use of beach chairs, the ability to charge consumption across properties to their rooms, and free non-motorized water sports. Complimentary shuttle service will be provided between all Bay Gardens Resorts facilities.
