Discovery at Marigot Bay has been included on the prestigious National Geographic Traveler Stay List for 2008.

Nestled on St Lucia’s scenic west coast, Discovery is one of only 150 hotels from Canada, Mexico, the United States and the Caribbean selected for the list which celebrates properties with location-inspired architecture, ambience and amenities, eco-stewardship and an ethic of giving back to the community.

To assemble the list, National Geographic Traveler put out a call for nominations to a wide number of individuals, from local travel experts to seasoned travelers.

After sending out detailed questionnaires to the over 600 properties nominated—and conducting further research—the magazine arrived at its final list published in its April 2008 edition.

In the magazine, Discovery is applauded for its clever landscaping (with plants near rooms repelling insects), its solar powered ferry for transporting guests around the bay, and its stunning location in a bay described as “the most beautiful in the Caribbean” by James A Michener.

“We are honoured and delighted to have made such a prestigious list,” said Discovery’s General Manager, Jayson Clemons.

“We have an important role to play as responsible corporate citizens and in ensuring our impact on the beautiful environment we call home is kept to a minimum. It is gratifying to see our hard work and contributions to the local community recognized in this way.”
