    We have been there the second time now. The booking was a bit complicated, as the payment goes through a second website, but once that was sorted it was all pretty perfect. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, the breakfast is delicious and there was even a surprise visit by two hippos in the garden! The rooms are well maintained, comfortable and superclean.

    Breakfast area dated and tired. Breakfast limited. Would have been nice to have a platter of the fresh fruit that is sold just down the road at the market. Small bowl of chopped fruit was the only fruit there was. Some muffins and cheese etc would have been nice. No common lounge area inside to sit in the evening and too many mosquitoes to sit outside.

    Liked the pool area and garden. Liked having a view and close to forest trail.

    This is not a complaint in any way(as you can see how I rated the place), but is helpful information if you don’t have your own vehicle. Without a car you will be «stuck» at the premisses after dark cause of your own safety due to wildlife. No Ubers or taxis is found in town.

    Excellent staff, super nice and very clean room with comfy bed, lodge is at the end of the main street so it is quiet from traffic and noise. Spotted some very cute bush babies in trees by the pool in the evening.

    We would have liked access to the lounge area after 5.30pm, be better if there was a night manager enabling that to happen. Not having anyone around made us feel a bit less comfortable.

    Lovely garden, really good breakfast and very friendly, nice staff.

    The establishment is abit old albeit well kept. An upgrade of the bathroom and linen would take it to the next level.

    It's a very quiet and serene area with beautiful gardens. Its close to the town centre.

    Nellie was a great host, super helpful and friendly - just like all the rest of the staff. The rooms were very comfy and had everything you need. The breakfast was delicious. The lodge is slightly further away from the main road in St. Lucia but that was perfect as we had peace and quiet and a beautiful garden with a view.

    So far so good taking inconsideration of the general environment. They are doing their best with the tools they have at the moment.

    The place is relaxing. You are surrounded by nature itself. The green trees that surround you gives you clean oxygen all the time. There is no smoking or booze allowed which adds to the tranquility of the place.
