St Lucia is clean.
St Lucia is clean. I was walking at night alone and felt safe. Enjoyed the cruise with Fannas to see the hippos.
Enough restaurants to eat out.
No beggars on street corners or street children.
The beaches are clean.

Expensive small tourist town in which the majority of black people are there to work but do not live there and do not own much of the local economy, except being service providers. The St Lucia Wetlands Park Authority and other entities have a lot of work to do, to ensure black investment in the tourism sector as owners rather than servants. The racial and ethnical picture in the restaurants is very deplorable and has not changed much since apartheid. This makes the town, not the best place to visit for holiday. I would not visit for a long time for leisure to spend my hard earned black cash is an economy that is refusing to change. The private sector operating here needs to enjoin government efforts for economic transformation and support the diversification of the tourist sector - not by fronting but real transformation.

ST as we call it here in Joburg is a beautiful place with plenty to see an do if you have the transport. Walking around town is not a problem because it's "short and sweet' yet full of attractions, shops and restaurants just as in any self-respectful beach destination. Full of places to rest in and dine. Beaches need transport but in our country if you have no wheels you stay home! Trust me it's well worth it! UNESCO parks, Big (4) cos' no Lions allowed ;-) 25degC ocean water and a lots of fun! Activities can be found with a short search so I'm not going to go that deep.
And, to answer Booking.com's robot:
"What would you avoid on your next visit?"
A; My mother's snoring ;-)
Come visit ST...and prove me wrong!

St Lucia must certainly be one of the best small towns in South Africa. The character and charm is unbeatable. The locals are welcoming, helpful and just fantastic people. The choice of restaurants, curios shops, art and craft shops, the village market, wildlife in the town is amazing and simply wonderful!

St Lucia was just the perfect place to get away from reality... we booked a breakfast boat cruise with ShakaBarker which was awesome. And in the 3 full days we were there we were able to visit 3 nature reserves. Isimangaliso Wetlands East had the sea and bush and a quick dip in the sea at cape Vidal was perfect. We were there for half a day and saw most of the park but could have been there longer or taken a full or 2nd day. We then did the Isimangaliso Wetlands west side and saw lots of animals.
Make sure you pack a picnic basket and cooldrinks as there are no shops in the park until you get to cape vidals camp site. And you cant leave the park and come back in as the entrance fee is for one visit not one day...
Then an early morning drive to Hluhluwe Imfolosi Nature Reserves which was just over 1 hr away is well worth doing. Enter at memorial gate on the Hluhluwe side and take the dirt roads to find some treasures. The dirt roads are all accessable for a normal car so no need for 4x4. Could also do with 2 or more days to really enjoy the park and spend time with the animals.
St Lucia is still nice and wild and well worth a visit.
Charming lodge in a perfect location in St Lucia. Comfortable self catering rooms with all the amenities provided for a wonderful stay. The place lives up to its name, the sunsets are incredibly spectacular. The hosts Richard and Shelley were attentive and even helped us with tour bookings. Walking distance to all the shops and restaurants on the main street. Zac the friendly dog and some resident cats made our stay memorable. The pool is inviting and gardens are well kept.
A must stay place when you in St Lucia.

Very nice place to stay in the area of St Lucia. We got an free upgrade of the room! The staff was very kind and helpful. The bungalow we got was very spacious and the private pool is a real plus. WiFi worked great. The lodge is situated in a private and gated area with lots of security so we had a very safe feeling. There are animals on the property which made the stay even better! Keep in mind that the lodge is located about 25 minutes driving from St Lucia. Will definitely come back.
There was no breakfast. It is a self catering cottage. The apartment catered to all our needs.
When we entered the apartment, the aircon and lights were switched on which is amazing as we arrived at night and after a long journey, the cool, welcoming, well arranged apartment felt like a home away from home!
It was quiet and nobody bothered us. We would love to stay again but for longer next time!
There is no better place to stay in South Africa than this magic guest house where Collin is the host. Everything is perfect: breakfast is outstanding, everything is clean, the bed is big and the rooms are spacious. Also, great recommendations and a welcome drink on arrival. You feel treated as a royalty for good prices. highly recommended!!
Everything. Marlize was a wonderful host who really helped us organize everything we needed for our stay including helping us book some activities. The guest house is stunning, very clean and quiet but is still very close to everything that we needed. We will definitely be back next time we are in St Lucia.
I liked the rooms were clean and and freshly organized👍. The self catering kitchen is unique and amazing 🤏🤏you find everything you need in that kitchen we were able to make our food in the way we wanted. The outside pool view is so relaxing and actually we enjoyed our stay at the Lodge
Got a very good deal for 4 days stay at the property. I had stayed in the other places in St. Lucia in the previous visits. The place is definitely worth its value, especially travel as a group. The rooms are clean and spacious, the kitench has everything you need.
Did not try the breakfast since I booked self catering. We will book breakfast the next time as most of the restaurants only open from 09h00, with the exception of Wimpy. After 09h00, there are plenty of options and the kitchen is well equipped.
Breakfast was fresh with excellent cappuccino and options. Most importantly the hosts at this location are amazing and personable. The room and place are BEAUTIFUL and clean. Nice Pool. Staying here really made our stay in St. Lucia wonderful.
Quiet beautiful scenery, located close to the beach, beautiful town scenery,, happy cheerful staff always ready to assist,, comfy bedding, self catering facilities,, super fast wifi,, will definitely go there more often
Staff was very welcoming and loving. enjoyed the breakfast. The ladies at the kitchen were very friendly. they made sure we feel comfortable. gave us directions , around ST lucia. Hotel close to shop's.
Fantastic hotel!the owner such a lovely lady. She gave us lots of tips about St Lucia, so you get a nice hotel and a fantastic guide for the same price. Tasty breakfast with lots of options!
The Bridge is ideally situated, walk away from the shops and restaurants. Found St Lucia to be safe to walk even at night ... kudos to their police and people running the town
