Saint Lucia hotels

Pros: Good breakfast, good host, car was cleaned in the morning, host explained everything about city and St Lucia park.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Everything about the guesthouse was fabulous. Beautiful room, loads of wardrobe space and extremely comfortable bed. The breakfast each morning was very tasty. The gardens and the pool were well maintained and all the staff were lovely. Could not fault this place.

Cons: Nothing to dislike or improve on.

Pros: Fabulous breakfast. Danish made by ex Michelin starred pastry chef. Great quantity and variety.

Cons: The weather and view from room.

Pros: We really enjoyed our stay at St. Lucia Wetlands Guesthouse. Colin, his parents and the whole team are very friendly and helpful and ensure a beautiful stay from the first minute.

Pros: Great host/ owner who takes good care of his guests. We got lots of tips for trips/ dining etc. in and around St. Lucia and even for the route ahead of us. Breakfast is marvelous and when we went on a very early Whale watching tour we got a snack so we won’t get see sick and even a very late breakfast. We would definitely return.

Cons: Nothing- everything was perfect

Pros: This is a very good guest house indeed. Colin and his wife were extremely welcoming, helpful and friendly. The location is very convenient and the house is lovely, set in beautiful gardens with a very nice pool. Our room was excellent with a superb bathroom and the guest areas are very comfortably furnished. Breakfast was excellent. Overall we really enjoyed our one night stay and would recommend the guest house without hesitation. Very good value for money.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Location and hotel environment.

Cons: Quilt smells moldy.

Pros: Very serviceminded host!

Pros: Beautiful property a short drive from the amenities of St Lucia. On outstanding management team who hit all the right notes - welcome drink and introduction to the area, managing laundry, immediately responsive to poorly-functioning AC with the offer of changing room, towels, cool-box, snorkels and masks for outings and even washing the car overnight. Breakfast was excellent, too.

Pros: Once again we had an excellent stay. Everything was perfect: the excellent and warm hospitality, the very delicious breakfast, the cozy room and the beautiful garden. We will definitely come again and again.

Pros: Great value for money! This place is really beautiful, the design is something that we didn’t see until now on South Africa. The room is big and wonderful, the garden is so nice, the breakfast was exactly what we want - fresh and delicious. Everything was clean, and the team was so friendly- the recommendations they gave us was awesome! Really enjoyed, we will definitely return.

Pros: Warm welcome. Very large room. Great bathroom if you are staying solo (I would not suggest the king suite for a couple because the bathroom walls do not reach up to the ceiling, so your partner would hear everything). Good location on a quiet street. They really make an effort to give quality, plentiful packed breakfasts if you request one to take with you on an early morning departure. Great wifi! Probably the best housekeeping staff of anywhere that I have ever stayed...they do a phenomenal job, truly spotless rooms!! Rare, endemic chameleons can be found in the garden! Secure gated parking.

Cons: Need more charging outlets in the room (especially needed near the bed). Most uncomfortable bed I've ever experienced at a hotel...I was already in agony after the first night (but if you like extremely HARD beds then this guest house is a great choice for you). Besides housekeeping, cooking, and gardening, the manager (the owners' daughter) has to do every other job all by herself. I stayed 7 nights and never saw anyone else working there. She's very overworked, but does a great job anyway! But it would have been nice to have someone at reception in the evenings that was able to answer questions (I'd often not see anyone there after 5pm). My room was very quiet when nobody was in the room next door, but when people were there (particularly screaming kids) it was unpleasant because of the really thin wall. The manager was generally helpful and kind, but I guess she was totally fed up with me by the end of my 7 night stay. On the last day she was literally rolling her eyes at me multiple times, she could hardly control her contempt! While I saw her give genuine smiles and warm send offs to some other guests as they were leaving, she scowled at me and did not even make an attempt to fake a pleasant send off for me. Honestly, it made me feel very bad and it tainted (and essentially ruined) and otherwise nice stay. Because of this, I (sadly) do not look back on my time there fondly.

Pros: Elme at reception was outstanding & went the extra mile to make us feel welcome & comfortable

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Very clean and super quiet

Pros: Lovely property, well located, modern and clean. The family running the hotel makes the most of your stay with their hospitality and politeness.

Pros: The owners were very helpful. They even booked our safaris. The guest house was warm and cozy and our family room was more than expected, it was spacious and we have a nice view on the swimming pool.

Pros: Isabella was very friendly... we definitely come back to IGwalagwala if back in St. Lucia!

Cons: -

Pros: Lovely property, well located, modern and clean. The family running the hotel makes the most of your stay with their hospitality and politeness.

Cons: small bed and bathroomdoor

Pros: Good information about what to do and excellent assistance arranging activities.

Pros: Lovely place to stay. Safe and secure. Very friendly staff and excellent cooked-to-order breakfast. Room very comfortable with good air-conditioning. Bathroom spotless. Would have liked to have stayed longer as there's a lot to do in the area. Only a small town but it's not everywhere that you have hippos wandering around the streets at night!

Cons: Nothing to say here!

Pros: We loved our stay at the Whalesong Guest House. The Staff/Owner were very very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and the WiFi in the room was good. Breakfast was very delicious.

Pros: Rooms, breakfast and the pool was excellent and the price is reasonable. Staff is friendly

Cons: Everything was perfect nit and tidy wish to back again. But need a TV in those rooms it's boring without a TV.

Pros: Quite and friendly

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Great feel about Whalesong and St Lucia. Outstanding service from Debbie and Sophie who couldn’t have been more helpful.

Cons: Unfortunately the credit card payment system was down when checking out, which meant I had to go in search of an ATM. A minor first world problem!

Pros: Excellent guesthouse to stay in St Lucia. Neat rooms with good facilities, we only missed a fridge on our room (but there was a fridge in the lounge, which we used for some stuff). The breakfast is extraordinary! We enjoyed the wonderfully prepared dishes, served on the beautiful terrace. On our day of departure (5.00 a.m.) the owner was up as early as us, to let us out, giving us a well-stocked breakfast bag. Compliments for the staff. We visited the iSimangaliso and Hluhluwepark in the area. In our case, Hluhluwe was a better match, much more animals. A boat trip for the hippos in StLucia is a must!

Pros: Beautiful and cozy B&B. Tasty, extensive breakfast, Very kind host.

Pros: Wonderful rooms, breakfast and propriety. Staff was very friendly. Nice location and a good explanation from the host about what to do in St Lucia. Rooms were tidy and big with a lovely bed.

Cons: Only minor point was slow WiFi, but that’s almost everywhere in South Africa, so not really an accommodation issue. Besides that really no downsides I can think of.

Pros: Friendly hospitality!

Pros: Joyce was a fantastic host. Booked all our trips. Very informative.

Cons: Room was nice but a bit dark

Pros: Quiet and cosy guest house in walking distance from the main street; simple but good, freshly prepared breakfast; muffins and danish were still warm when we got them; gluten free options available; when you arrive, Joyce gives you the full information package about St Lucia and surroundings and helps you to organise your tour program if you want.

Cons: pool was not clean but actually you don't need it and it was getting winter anyway

Pros: Very clean lovely rooms and a Joyce couldn’t do enough for us! Like having our own personal travel agent!! Lovely breakfast.

Pros: Safe and close to everything. Helpfull staff and proper breakfast.

Pros: It's nice and private . The rooms are clean and the stuff is very informative regarding local excursions.

Cons: The room have no TV, it was difficult to keep the kids intertwined in the evenings.

Pros: Very friendly and helpful staff Great experience

Pros: A well run, clean and friendly place to stay. The staff are very helpful and can organise trips for you. I would highly recommend the Lodge

Pros: Comfortable clean and very friendly service.

Pros: Great location, quiet , very comfortable Friendly & helpful staff Lovely breakfast

Cons: Nil

Pros: The breakfast was delicious. Bread, pastries, jams, meats, cheeses, yoghurts, fresh fruits, cereal, eggs, bacon, sausages, tomatoes, potatoes, fresh juices, teas (including English tea) and coffees! On a couple of days we were leaving too early for breakfast, however if you inform the staff they make you up a packed breakfast and leave it in your fridge at no extra charge, thank you! There was an honesty bar which was a pleasant surprise, wines, beers, soft drinks, and snacks available at a very reasonable price. The room was spotless, the air conditioning was more like climate control fantastic! The bed was huge, so comfy and the linen was very high quality! The area does at times have short power cuts due to government load shedding, however the room is fitted with a solar light so that you are not plunged into darkness and the hotel has a generator to keep the water running. We spoke to some people who were staying in another hotel and they did not have a generator and therefore could not have showers when there was a power cut, we did not have this problem. The staff are wonderful, so friendly and genuinely interested in your stay. The communication before we arrived (and after) was fantastic. They booked all of our safari trips for us at no extra charge and gave us travel directions too. It is a very short walk from the local shops and restaurants and it is very safe to walk around also. What a gem, I definitely recommend!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: We liked absolutely everything! The rooms are located within beautiful garden, the breakfast was delicious, the staff was attentive and professional, we got a lot of worthy tips for our full satisfaction! It is only a walking distance to all other places in St. Lucia, highly recommended!

Pros: Breakfast

Cons: TV was faulty. and new one was purchased Electric shocks from reading light over bed

Pros: What a great place! We came here upon recommendation from my brother who stayed here 2 years ago - and we enjoyed every single minute! We were greeted warmly and the hostess sat down with us, served us a cooling drink and gave us great advice on the area. They were very helpful and booked us a great Hippo Safari with SHAKAbarker Tours (who picked us up at the Lodge! highly recommended!). The Lodge is wonderful! It oozes a very relaxing vibe, and it's just nice to see how lovingly everything is put together! Great eye for details, and a very helpful and wonderful staff made this an unforgettable stay! We would have loved to stay longer - but unfortunately for us, they were booked out! But I'll definitely come again and can highly recommend this Lodge for anyone who's looking for the best place to stay in St. Lucia!

Cons: If I have to criticize something about this Lodge it was the waiting staff during breakfast who were constantly hovering behind us 5 minutes before breakfast ended - with the clear intent to rush us to finally finish. This pressure does not fit with the overall great and relaxed atmosphere of this Lodge!

Pros: Perfect host, great room , good shower, great breakfast and best barbeque pit i have ever seen

Cons: Very nice stuff.. clean..nice..cool

Pros: The location and the surroundings are great. The room was spacious and clean. The owner was very helpfull with the activities and restaurants in town. She even informedus, during the breakfast, if the presence of an hippo in a park nearby so we were able to take some nice photos from our car. The breakfast was also very good. Very nice place.

Cons: The interruptor of the toilet light is the same as the room light ! So, if you have to go during the night... !!?

Pros: Very helpfull stuff and a cosy place to stay. Near to the parks in the area.

Pros: Location was great. Comfortable beds.

Cons: Poor shower pressure, poor wifi signal.

Pros: Friendly and knowledgeable staff! Always ready to give advice about excursions and arrange bookings for the guests. Good breakfast.

Cons: WiFi reception could have been better in room 4.

Pros: Lovely lady hostess provided excellent info for our stay. Delicious breakfast, so fresh and tasty. Wonderful decorated room, lovely shower. Everything was just perfect.

Pros: Very comfy bed. Friendly host and receptionist. Good breakfast. Nice quiet residential neighbourhood.

Cons: Could distinctly hear people in next room - talking, using bathroom etc. Bathroom light switch also turned on light in bedroom, disturbing partner when using bathroom at night. Lighting generally only just adequate.

Pros: The position is very good and the staff as well. The hotel has a great potential

Cons: The 2 rooms we had were closed to the breakfast area and it was very noisy in the morning (before 7 am) and we could smell the smell coming from the kitchen. Breakfast was just normal, nothing special. The hotel needs for renovation and maintenance in the rooms

Pros: Amazing place and people....home away from home...best place to stay when in St Lucia

Pros: Very nice setting and garden. Kind stuff. Liked the little river running down in front of our room.

Cons: Wifi wasn‘t very good

Pros: Amazing lodge all the staff was super The owner has been wonderful !!! Thank you

Pros: The staff was great and helped with all our concerns. The rooms were also really nice and cozy.

Cons: I don't think anything could be better. For the price, the place was perfect.

Pros: Love the jungle atmosphere; the staff and owners are great.

Cons: breakfast got a bit repetitive

Pros: It was amazing ! The staff is really nice, they gave us good advise of what to do around Saint Lucia, they booked a boat for us to see the Hippo ! The breakfast is really delicious The lodge is well located, near the main street where there are some restaurants, supermarket, near the gate to see the reserve and near the beach The lodge inside is really beautiful and the room is comfortable :) We really enjoyed our holiday here ! Thanks again for your warm welcome

Cons: Nothing !

Pros: The lodge has a really nice cosy vibe and it's located in the proximity of the city centre of St. Lucia, a walking distance from shops and restaurants.

Cons: Doors didn´t close properly.

Pros: friendly and cofortable stay

Cons: nil

Pros: location. near everything. quiet part of town. beautiful night sounds. see pic for views.

Cons: can t think of anything.

Pros: Nice place to be

Pros: Very nice and comftable rooms. People are very friendly and helpful. Nice breakfast with a beautiful view to the Indian Ocean.

Pros: Everything was good from the staff to facilities you have last but not listed breakfast was good.

Cons: If there's anything I didn't that could be the curfew of using pool but understandable so due to consideration of other visitors who needs peace.

Pros: Great place in St Lucia. Hosts made sure everything was up to our expectations. Cabana was clean, big and well maintained.

Pros: Amazing breakfast with loads of effort made to accommodate my wife’s dietary requirements - the only place in SA to manage to (or make and effort to) source GF bread!! Great location with stunning view of the estuary/Indian ocean. Easy walk into town to restaurants/bars etc, just be careful walking back at night - we encountered two hippos and had to make a hasty retreat. Pay attention to the advice if walking after dark! Loads of info and booking advice/help was provided by the great staff at Ndiza. The room was lovely with the terrace looking over the garden and sound of the ocean in the background.

Cons: Breakfast room/bar area is directly above the lodge rooms (so you get the incredible view while you eat) but it does make it noisy from about 7am if you’re in one of those rooms below. Breakfast starts from 8 and there is so much to do in St Lucia it didn’t really bother us as we wanted to be up at a similar time. They do ask guests not to go up there after 10pm though so we had no issues on an evening.

Pros: Sadly it was just a one night stay! Wish it was longer as it was the perfect bnb. We stayed in the Cabana which is your very own home away from home. Spotlessly clean too. We arrived in the afternoon and went to the upstairs patio where the bar and pool is. Luckily no one else was up there and it felt like our own private treehouse, the photos dont do it justice. Great location and felt very safe. Would 100% recommend.

Pros: We had a big and clean apartment with 2 bedrooms. The breakfast was good and the view from the restaurant quite nice. Activities could be booked via the lodge in advance.

Cons: Breakfast at 8 a.m. was a bit late for us, since we were used to eat 1-2 hours earlier in all the other lodges.

Pros: The hostess Monica was really excellent also the breakfast was outstanding!

Cons: No negative commentaar at all

Pros: Location, breakfast and staff were excellent.

Cons: Bed was not comfortable

Pros: Wow, what a lovely, peaceful place. Delightful owner. Also great breakfast.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: This was our third stay at Serene-Estate. It is well situated, the rooms are large and overlook the pool and park beyond. It will always be our first choice should we be lucky enough to return.

Cons: I do not believe there is anything not to like.

Pros: Amazing breakfast. Very friendly staff. Amazing setting.

Pros: The Best thing was the garden and the pool. Always something to see. Birds monkeys bats a hippo. Loved it. The room was spacious and the bed really good.

Pros: This was the best stay my husband & I ever had in the area and the continent really. Truely worth it. Amazing architecture, attention to detail and cleanliness cannot be faulted! I was happy! I would go back and spend the money all over again! Peaceful- PVT- all you can ask for! Zama- JHB

Cons: Can not fault it!

Pros: Clean rooms,friendly staff Breakfast was awesome Just loved everything about this place looking forward to visit again

Pros: Better than what I expected.

Cons: Gate not locked.

Pros: Everything about the place was awesome, made the booking to Hluhluwe imfolozi simple and easy, the host was excellent, staff very friendly.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The host and the staff were amazing!!!!

Pros: Nice staff: they helped us to organize the night drive in the park and the horse ride. They were able to make us stay two days instead of the only one we booked. Position is not central, but St Lucia is very small and it's maybe better to be closer to the nature than to the shops!

Cons: Price is a bit high comparing to what you get in general. Breakfast was not so rich in quality and quantity. The second room we slept in had no shower, but we knew it so it's not something bad.

Pros: Comfortable room with great breakfasts. Pleasant staff who helped us with booking activities

Cons: There was nothing we didn't like

Pros: Amazing location in St. Lucia with beautiful gardens and water features throughout. The views of the valley were spectacular, especially during the rainstorm!

Cons: The bar could have been open during more parts of the day - a cool refreshment at 3PM would have been lovely!

Pros: The staff were amazing and soooo helpful! Thanks a bunch guys, will definitely come back! :-)

Pros: Beautiful gardens.

Cons: The walkways were dangerously slippery when wet.

Pros: Great breakfast, great outdoor space!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Breakfast good. A little variation would have been nice.

Cons: A divide of some kind between the verandah's would have been nice. Very close for any privacy.

Pros: Beautiful grounds...friendly staff

Cons: Nothing to not likekp

Pros: There is a wonderful frog concert in the fountain and the garden is beautiful. The location of the restaurant terrace and the pool above the forest is splendid. The personnel was very helpful and lovely.

Cons: The kitchen and the bathroom were not very clean. There was also no detergent or sponge to clean the dishes. Also basic things like forks or big plates were missing. The mattresses were saggy. Seems like the best days of the facility are over.

Pros: Hotel restaurant is value for money although if you want choice there are 2 restaurants within a few minutes walk of the hotel.

Cons: Hotel restaurant is value for money although if you want choice there are 2 restaurants within a few minutes walk of the hotel.

Pros: Perfectly situated. Neat with clean room and great breakfast.
