Where to stay on St. Lucia?
The map below will show you some great deals on accommodations in St. Lucia for under $99 CAD/night for 2 people.
I've found that Saint Lucia is one of the few Caribbean islands with a high number of reasonably priced Airbnb accommodations.
The average price per night is still quite high ($275 CAD), but there are so many Airbnb rentals, that it's pretty easy to find well-reviewed places being offered for $50 to $85 CAD per night for 2 people.
If you were to actually book this flight, you would probably want to use the 'Instant Book' filter on Airbnb, which only shows you properties that can be booked instantly, without waiting to hear back from the host.

Update 12/20 - A few last minute 'over Christmas' flights (Dec 21-28, Dec 22-29, Dec 23-30) have dropped to $351 CAD roundtrip including taxes.
On Airbnb there are currently 36 'instant book' properties under $99 CAD/night for 2 people on these dates, although the best deal looks to be Colvin's B&B for $105 CAD/night (5 stars after 19 reviews).
