    Could do with a bathmat in the room to stop the bathroom floor getting wet from the shower.

    Comfortable and well located accommodation in St Lucia, 5min drive from the beach/estuary and 10min walk to the main bars/restaurants/shops. It is not luxury accommodation but it is clean, tidy, good value for money, friendly staff and well located. Buffet breakfast is decent but not amazing, but included in the room rate.

    We could here everything I neighbors were doing next door. My husband could not sleep as they were up late talking and up early at 5am for early breakfast and tour. The door had a glass panel and passers by could see in.

    Beautiful pool area and great breakfast.

    What a breathtaking place, lovely ambiance, beautiful Rooms. The front lawn is lovely. Unfortunately didn't get to see the wandering hippos, but we truly enjoyed the place. Very friendly staff, owner referred us to a lovely restaurant where we had great food. The place is every bit as it appears on the Internet. Thank you for a beautiful holiday experience.

    The breakfast looked good however it did not accommodate for halal. Neither did we see a section for vegetarians or labeled so. However they were accommodating to use our pan and oil to cook us eggs. Pool towels/ extra towels should also be made available. There is no phone in the rooms for room service. Carry an insect repellent and some meds.. Did get bitten by a a tick/mosquitos {it's unforseen/comes with the surroundings. )

    The staff was really accommodating. The pool was clean, warm and inviting. There was a lit up braai area {we could use their dishes} and an outdoor leisure lounge. The receptionist was so caring, helpful and friendly. They helped with our trailer and allowed us to use their power supply to power up our mini freezer(for our braai meats) There was a bar fridge, hair dryer In the rooms. The air conditioner is fantastic. The security guard was always visible and we felt safe. You are greeted by a small forest. The aesthetics was nature filled.

    The walls are not so sound proof, especially when you’re in the bathroom. The kids next door were super noisy and running up and down the corridor at night. Our towels had a musty smell.

    Beautiful place surrounded by trees. It had a lovely pool with many lounge chairs. The room was simple, neat and just what we needed for a 2-nights stay. Good aircon, nice bedding, honesty bar and spacious shower. Breakfast as great and the owner/managers were all very friendly and helpful.
