Elite Island Resorts, an impressive collection of beachfront resorts in the Caribbean’s most sought-after destinations, including Antigua, Grenada, Tortola and St. Vincent and the Grenadines, announces its acquisition of the former Almond Morgan Bay St. Lucia, now renamed Morgan Bay Beach Resort, St. Lucia

“The purchase of Morgan Bay presented a unique opportunity for us to expand our destinations and was the obvious next step for our ever-growing collection,” said Elite Island Resorts President Steven Heydt. “Our understanding of marketing the Caribbean will help re-launch this all-inclusive resort to a greater audience of travelers. Further, Elite’s management expertise in creating an unparalleled all-inclusive vacation will enhance the guest experience on every level. Additionally, the resort’s wealth of offerings and breathtaking surroundings are ideal for our family and value vacation markets. We are confident that we can deliver a superior vacation in St. Lucia while providing excellent value during these challenging times.”

Morgan Bay Beach Resort is set amid 25 acres of colorful hillside gardens tucked into a private cove on the northern coast of St. Lucia. The all-inclusive, beachfront resort features 345 guestrooms and suites, offering stunning ocean and tropical garden views.

The well-appointed accommodations span a variety of categories, including one bedroom suites and family suites. Each offers all the comforts of home paired with uniquely Caribbean décor and excellent, friendly service.

Morgan Bay’s comprehensive all-inclusive program includes breakfast, lunch, dinner and beverages, including all spirits, at four restaurants and five bars. Room service is also available for lunch and dinner. Snacks and refreshments are provided throughout the day while live music and shows entertain guests nightly. A wealth of water sports and land activities are also complimentary: windsurfing, sailing, kayaking, snorkeling, table tennis and more. The resort additionally features four freshwater pools, an adult supervised kids’ club, four tennis courts, a fitness center and a full-service spa, which is being expanded in late 2012.

For adventurous guests, a variety of off-property excursions can be arranged, including zip lines, jeep safari tours, rainforest treks with sky rides in open-air gondolas and nature encounters with dolphins, whales and more. With so many offerings, Morgan Bay ensures that guests will return home with a full, memorable experience in St. Lucia.
