"It started fine but on the third night as we were putting our kids to bed we found some sort of rodent droppings all over the kids beds and pillows. It must have all fallen from the overhead vents. We immediately packed and left. It ruined our trip to St Lucia. "

"Owner of cottages was helpful. Good braai area. Nice place to stay for a few days or a week."

"I have requested a quiet corner room while making the booking and upon checking in on arrival i was told to pay an extra R200 for the quiet room which i did pay to my surprise the following day I was asked again to pay an extra R200 ... which i did pay as i did not want to move to an other room...I really feel so disgusted about how people can be so so greedy when it comes to money that we will leave behind when dead...the place was even too noisy with the occupants upstairs."

"We stayed at Annemarie's place for a few days and really enjoyed it. It's a great location, central and still quiet, sheltered away with a fantastic barbecue and small flower garden outside. The large bedroom was like all other rooms well decorated and spacious, the kitchen well equipped. Our host was very friendly and helpful in all matters. We can only recommend a stay at Annemarie's place."

First Group Lake View Cabanas

10/10 Excellent

"Fit a group of 8 comfortably, great facilities, exceptional staff"

Bhangazi Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Bhangazi Lodge is a lovely guest house in central St. Lucia. My room was large and clean with its own bathroom, a slider to the pool, TV, and a refrigerator. AC was excellent and they had power available even when the town power was out. Kettle in the room as well. They served a hot cooked-to-order breakfast which was included and delicious. Also coffee, tea and bottled water were always available. Walkable to the town and the beach, but at night you have to drive due to the hippos wandering the streets. There are a lot of restaurants very close. There is parking at the building behind a gate. Very secure. The host Simon was extremely knowledgeable about the area and what to see and do. I highly recommend staying here."

Leopard Walk Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Leopard Walk Lodge: A Perfect African Retreat After a demanding business trip from the USA, Leopard Walk Lodge was the ideal place to unwind before my 30-hour flight home. With a small number of luxury lodges, each designed for complete privacy, it offers a serene escape in the heart of the African bush. The accommodations are beautifully furnished with all the amenities you could need, including excellent WiFi. However, it’s the stillness of the wilderness that truly soothes the soul, inviting relaxation and rejuvenation. The staff’s hospitality was exceptional. From the flawless check-in and check-out process to their warm Zulu smiles, they made me feel like family. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and their attention to detail ensured every need was met effortlessly. The food was outstanding, with both breakfast and dinner showcasing home-cooked quality and local flavors. Service during meals was attentive yet unobtrusive, adding to the overall sense of comfort. Whether relaxing on my private deck or exploring the nearby paths, I was immersed in the peaceful beauty of the bush. Watching the sky shift at sunrise and sunset was magical, reinforcing the lodge’s calming atmosphere. Leopard Walk Lodge offers the perfect combination of luxury, privacy, and connection with nature. For anyone seeking a true escape, it’s a place to reset, recharge, and leave feeling refreshed and ready for what’s next."
