Sanovnik, who also serves as the St. Lucia Hotel and
Tourism Association’s (SLHTA’s) 1st Vice President,
wants to see all three properties continue to grow and
expand, which will create more employment opportu-
nities for St. Lucians, while offering more amenities for
their guests. For example, he’d like to upgrade both
the Inn and Hotel to three and a half stars and see
them continue to be the premier choices for the busi-
ness, corporate, and conference markets, as well as
for budget conscious, leisure travelers. Regarding the
Beach Resort, he says, “We have the capacity and abil-
ity and the desire to expand the property.” With some
empty land available, he hopes to double the size of
the Resort to 150 rooms and add additional restau-
rants, as well.
For the Destangs of St. Lucia, as well as for their
guests, the future looks bright: “We’re definitely going
to be the most modern place, along with the best ser-
vice and the best food – all of those different experi-
ences that people are used to from Bay Gardens.”
