WhereToStay.com's Review
La Paloma is located in the private residential section of Vigie. It is a blend of Mexican ambience and Caribbean flavor. The superb views of Martinique and Pigeon Point are not to be missed. Vigie Beach is a 20-minute walk (or two-minute car ride) from La Paloma. Rodney Bay beaches to the north are reachable with a 15-minute drive. Restaurants are also about a 15-minute drive away. The cook/housekeeper will gladly prepare breakfast and lunch daily (except for Sunday); however, you will need to purchase the groceries. Children are welcome in this gated community and ages 1-3 are free. La Paloma is the perfect setting for a wedding and/or honeymoon,
Villa Description
Ideally situated in the private residential area of Vigie, La Paloma is a 5-bedroom villa with a 1-bedroom cottage, all air-conditioned, and designed with a mix of Caribbean and Mexican ambiance.
The ocean view location boasts tranquil views of Martinique and Pigeon Point to the north, while enjoying cool Caribbean trade winds. Nestled on a cliff edge, the sound of the waves against the cliff will put you to sleep each night. The gardens are full of bougainvillea and tropical trees.
Guests will enter the villa through antique Mexican doors into a courtyard with a fountain, beautiful terra cotta tiles, and a lush garden of grape and passion fruit vines. The villa is decorated with old Mexican Mesquite and Pine furniture as well as Caribbean style furniture throughout.
La Paloma has 2 floors with a fully equipped kitchen and laundry room, and 2 verandahs with views of the Caribbean Sea. The top floor consists of a master bedroom with king-size bed and ensuite shower, a second bedroom with queen-size four-poster bed and ensuite shower, a large sitting/dining room with Cablevision TV and CD and cassette stereo, which leads onto a spacious patio with sea views.
The lower floor is linked by an interior staircase and consists of 3 additional bedrooms, one with a queen-size four-poster bed and ensuite shower, one with 2 single beds and one with a king-size bed. The latter 2 bedrooms share a bath.
A spacious patio runs the whole length of the property and into the garden and to the 20-foot x 20-foot U-shaped swimming pool that includes a small sitting pool with jets. The one bedroom air-conditioned cottage features a double bed with an ensuite shower.
The property is completely fenced (safe for small children) and is conveniently located to Vigie Airport and Vigie Beach. Vigie Beach is a 5-minute drive from the villa and 10 minutes to Castries and duty-free Pointe Seraphine.
A friendly staff will look after you on your holiday, and meals can be prepared at your request.
La Paloma is an ideal vacation for families, groups, and couples. The 13 guest maximum must include children. It can be the perfect location for your special Caribbean wedding.
