SAINT LUCIA, West Indies, July 11, 2008. Beauty dwells in deep retreats, Wordsworth wisely noted. Find beauty, pleasure, retreat and romance at Discovery at Marigot Bay. Seven reasons to visit include:

1. Caribbean Chic. Experience this contemporary eco-friendly hotel overlooking what novelist James A Michener describes as "the most beautiful bay in the Caribbean." Rates are low through November 2 with a highly desired bay-view room for only US$378, including taxes and breakfast.

2. Bill Fish Tournament. The Marina at Marigot Bay will serve as host of the event and celebrate with BBQs and libations at Hurricane Hole, one of the Caribbean's most famous bars. The International Bill Fishing Tournament will be held September 11 to 14. Last year the winner landed a 657-pound blue marlin.

3. Caribbean Cuisine. Sample grilled pig tails, crab backs and calalloo, roasted breadfruit, green fig, saltfish and pemmies at International Creole Day (Jounen Kweyol) October 28. It kicks off the St. Lucia Food and Rum Festival October 30 to November 2. Foodies will delight in the cooking demonstrations and the food fair at Rodney Bay, while international guest chefs present special menus at various venues on the island (Oprah's chef, Art Smith, was at Discovery last year).

4. Exploration. Dive operation from Marigot Bay is one of the best in St. Lucia. Fall diving is fantastic with clear visibility and modest trade winds. Explore the adjacent Marine National Park.

5. Spa. Pamper yourself at the Lapli spa. Each treatment room features its own private deck with an open-air shower. Retreat to the Lapli Zen garden with ofuru wooden soaking tubs and massage cabanas.

6. Relaxation. While away an afternoon at the caf'e bar at neighboring Marina Village and view the yacht-filled harbor. Stroll the picturesque Caribbean-style courtyard and enjoy posh boutiques, duty-free outlets, an art gallery, French bakery and ice cream parlor.

7. Romance. Make more romance in your life. The beautiful clear skies of Marigot Bay are great for star gazing. Plan a romantic interlude with a special Discovery package which includes a sunset horseback ride, couples massage and a private dinner in our Treehouse!
