    The pool was very dirt in such a way that we could not swim, whereas the sun was too hot. I was very disappointed about that.

    The linen was very clean

    The breakfast at Santa Lucia was very limited, and the food was oily. Adding a variety of dishes to the menu can enhance one's choices.

    ILanga Lodge is neat and clean and nearer to the beaches and the supermarkets. The staff is friendly and efficient. We arrived very late at night but there was someone available to welcome to complete admin and to welcome us. It was really nice staying at the lodge.

    It's an established concern so the paving around the tree is broken up Nothing can be done, but I personally, wish there were no monkeys

    Breakfast was good. Part of the reason for selecting iLanga. Our accommodation was enjoyable because the staff accepted our request for a place without stairs. Which we appreciated very much The grounds were cleaned and swept every day. Thank you

    I feel the pictures oversold the place. It was my families first time in St Lucia and thought the place was appealing as its pictures made it out to be.

    The staff were friendly and assisted in all aspects in us enjoying our stay at St Lucia. The restaurant in partnership with iLanga was great. Cleanliness was spot on.

    I did my check in just before 5pm. It was supposed to be the end of the loadshedding stage, but it seems that the whole town was without power. I went out hopping that it would have been solved when back, but no... I prepared myself to go to bed, but when I was about to rince my teeth, no water... I had to use my bottled sparkling water to rince... When I woke up in the morning, still no electricity, nor water... I had to leave for the day, hoping that when I am back , the issue would be sorted. Back at 5pm, still no electricity - but water was back... Very upset, I went to the lady asking for my kettle to be boiled. You can hear the generator, but you are not the one who benefit from it... I had a shower - but cold... Thanks for the cold shower in July! Another night without being able to charge my phones, watch TV if I wanted, get free wifi, or just read a book with normal lighting... Halleluya!, When I woke up the second morning, there was power and water... I could finally have a hot shower - only a few hours before to check out... It was worse than camping... I must say the the bedding is very nice, and the breakfast options are diverse and good. They are also flexible for those who have to be away during the breakfast slots. Disapointed, but maybe it was just bad luck...

    The bed was 2 single beds pushed together. The one was in very poor condition and the matrass was worn out.

    Perfect location. All shops and restaurants is within easy walking distance. The vehicle was parked in a very safe spot. The room is the perfect size with a lot of space.

    Obvious that Covit19 did a lot of damage. Lots of maintenance required. Gym was locked. No water during load shedding - they should invest in a solar pump for the borehole.

    Illanga breakfast included in the booking states egg ommelette with cheese or tomato or mushrooms.Were told to pay extra R29 for mushrooms.Otherwise the breakfast was nice. Staff moved us to another ground floor unit as we could hardly manage the stairs.
