    Lovely Stay at Hornbill
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Traditional Suite
    • Stayed 4 nights

    Nothing major - just that the Pool table in the games room downstairs is a little big for the room and its difficult to play comfortably.

    Host was very helpful and explained everything we needed to know about St. Lucia including suggestions of good eateries and restaurants. Accommodation is quite new, spacious and very clean, with cleaners available every day. Nice bbq area and pool area. Well located accommodation in St. Lucia.

    100% amazing, so worth it.
    • Leisure trip

    • Traditional Suite
    • Stayed 3 nights

    I didn't like the pool table room as we had excess to it but didn't feel it was a good idea to use it because we felt it was located right in front of another apartments bedroom window.

    The host Esmarie is an incredible person, super helpful and informative, extremely caring about all members of my family and went the extra mile to assist me even before I could book the accommodation. The employees are great too, very polite and great at the jobs. Jabu the caretaker of the property was so on the ball my shower had a slight leak under the door so we mentioned it to him on our way out for the day, by the time we got back to the property that evening the shower was all fixed and not leaking. The rooms and bathrooms are huge, spacious and super clean. the linen was fresh top quality and amazing too. Really 5 star.

    Excellent quality, great decor, very responsive host.
    • Leisure trip
    • Group
    • Traditional Suite
    • Stayed 4 nights

    The only thing I would add is if the suites had a washing machine. However, there are a couple of laundrettes in town, that Esmerie recommended, which are well priced and efficient.

    We are a family of 5 adults and the 3 bedrooms (all with en-suite) were very spacious, extremely well decorated, the beds large and comfortable. The bathrooms were excellent and the communal open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting room was a perfect area for us. Overall the decor in the whole suite was top notch. Our host, Esmerie, was particularly responsive and helpful, our pre-communication ensuring that the activities we were looking for were all booked, saving us a great deal of effort when we arrived. Lovely pool area to relax, safe parking. Really loved it and would highly recommend the suites. Easy walking access to the town shops and restaurants in the day, or 3 minute drive in the evening if you want to avoid the local Hippos who come into town to graze. Got some fantastic videos from the car!!

    We were welcomed by Esmiery (I hope I spell that correctly..) with a very big smile and we felt home right away. She gave us great tips for our stay in St Lucia. The appartment was very clean and very comfortable. It is brand new and very spacious and complete in many ways. I would recommend this place to everyone!

    Well equipped super comfortable 3-bed place in St Lucia
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Traditional Suite
    • Stayed 3 nights

    The huge dining table- only because it was too big to play card and board games around and the chairs were very heavy for the children to move in and out but that is literally the only small thing I can think of!!

    Amazing, newly refurb'ed property. Very spacious, kitchen extremely well-equipped with everything you could need for living there full-time nevermind a holiday! Rooms an en-suites large and beds very comfortable. Kids loved the private snooker table (only with the 3-bed family unit). Close proximity to everything in St Lucia (you do need a car wherever you stay in St Lucia). We were met by the wonderful Esmerie who had already been so good at communicating prior to our arrival on What's App, she even sent the load shedding schedule and the weather forecast! Tours booked for us were excellent. We will definitely come back and stay again.

    Nothing.

    The unit was impeccably clean and very comfortable! Well appointed unit (two rooms, each with en-suite bathroom) with high quality finishes. Location is within easy walking distance from the town attractions. The inverters helped to ensure there was power without the noise associated with a generator. Esmarie was very welcoming and ensured we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay.

    perfect location for a family stay

    Only caveat is that there’s a shared billiards room immediately under the three bedroom suite (with no locking door in between). It is locked at night but could be disconcerting if not expected to have shared space.

    Beautifully appointed and recently remodeled, incredibly kind and friendly staff, easy walk to town. We booked adjoining suites 1 and 2. One two bedroom and one three bedroom (with perfect open floor plan and indoor braai). There’s a shared outdoor pool area and each suite has its own outdoor braai.
