Excellent place to stay in St Lucia. Staff very friendly and could not do enough to help. Debbie helped so much with helping us arrange trips and came to our aid when a taxi to Durban was required at relatively short notice. Very clean and pleasant place to stay with great facilities.

Very dated décor (TV can only be seen from one side of bed) and poor parking facilities.
However, reasonably good value for money and an OK breakfast.
Wont get my BnB of the year award, but reasonable for those on a tight budget compared to other, better but more expensive options.

A weekend in St Lucia

Fantastic friendly helpful staff. Room was a good size but the sound insulation could be a little better. Shower was a good size and hot. Breakfast is limited but they do good omelettes. I saw someone had made a comment about lack of TV channels- if that's important, you'll have no complaints as the full DSTV range was available. Easy walking distance to shops, bars and restaurants

good stay but limited tv

I was quite happy with the condition of the room. My only complaint was an excellent flat screen tv but with only 3 channels. Surely you could have a bigger tv package. The bathroom is very cramped including the bath tub for kids only.

Quiet stay in St Lucia

Had an enjoyable 2 night stay in St Lucia. Accommodation is on the main road, but nice and quiet. Easy to access and close to many restaurants.
The accommodation did also offer a pool and eating facilities but we did not get round to trying them.

Gute Unterkunft zu einem prima Preis

Der Aufenthalt in der der Lucia Safari Lodge hat uns gut gefallen, da die Unterbringung geräumig und sauber und schön angelegt war. wir sind leider nur 1 Nacht geblieben und haben die Flusspferd- und Krokodilsafari gemacht, die uns gut gefallen hat. Leider konnten wir nicht mehr Zeit hier verbringen und uns noch Cape Vidal und die Umgebung genauer angucken.
Für eine Nacht auf jeden Fall ein super Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Gerne wieder !
