We stayed for ten days in October 2009 and have been congratulating ourselves on that particular choice from the moment we drove through the gates. When we arrived we were greeted by the wonderful staff who immediately made us feel welcome and began our transition from travelers to revellers. Our rooms were wonderful. Walking through them, the one thing that caught our eye from the way they were prepared for us was the view from the balcony. The sight of the Pitons and the ocean, from a position you feel is just yours, has to be seen to be believed. The spectacle of the Pitons and the view of the ocean disappearing away to the horizon could be seen from almost everywhere in and around the house. The sunrises and sunsets were breathtaking and should not be missed. Every one that you are lucky enough to watch takes you another step into a holiday to remember. The pool and deck area is a very special place to begin to unwind and ease into the St. Lucia pace of life - whether you want to lounge in the sun, read, swim, eat drink or just chat. It's a tough choice, but beware the Rum Punches, they can sneak up on you. If you want to go to somewhere spectacular where you can really unwind at whatever pace that suits; with options to be more active if you feel the need; and to wake each day to a view that will stay with you forever, the Le Gallerie gets a massive tick in the box from us. |

I just got back from a seven-night stay at Crystals. It was memorable and pleasant. My husband and I stayed in the the Calabash Cottage for five nights, and the other two were spent in the Papaya Cottage. The two rooms were different in so many ways. Each room had a different perfect monochromatic harmony. It was rather surprising that Monica did the decorating. We honestly thought it was done by some professional. The rooms both were exquisite. Honestly, I preferred the Calabash Cottage. Reason being, it was very romantic. The colors were vibrant and appealing, and the view was a "must see". What I really liked about the cottages was that you have your own private pool. In the Calabash, you have your own little private waterfall. The Papaya Cottage had an enormous deck, a magnificent view of the pitons, and a barbeque grill. The setting was really calm and relaxing. The staff was so friendly, too. As for the sight seeing in St. Lucia, the waterfall and the Botanical Gardens were simply breathtaking. The sulphur springs is a must. In terms of food, the best restaurant was Hummingbird. Also, if you are looking for a casual, home cooked meal, the Bamboo in Soufriere will keep you coming back for more. Oh, and if you're looking for drink to remember, try one of Martin and Monica's rum-punch. If you don't have Crystals as first on your consideration list, maybe you should. |

I just got back from an amazing trip to St. Lucia for the wedding of our dear friends Ken and Teri. (This trip also included a wedding anniversary and proposal) The entire staff at Le Gallerie was nothing if not flawless in their services. Charmaine's cooking was hands down the best. Coming from New Orleans where I know cooking and creole, she is simply amazing. Catherine and Paulia were a daily dose of smiles and fun, too! Paulia helped navigate our daily trips to the market (which is a unique experience in and of itself). I found the locals very hospitable, friendly and eager to make any tourist's stay an enjoyable one. I recommend using the local beach at Anse Chastanet resort, and then have dinner at their restaurant on the beach. It was amazing, with superb food and service! Also, for one of the best meals I have had anywhere, try Dashene. It's as good as it gets! |

Wow! What a wonderful meal and view nestled between the Pitons. If only I could figure out how to replicate the Shrimp Dasheene now that we're back in the USA. Dasheene Restaurant and Bar provided great service and excellent food! |

Our visit to Le Gallerie Villa was great! The villa flows nicely from room to room with fantastic views of the Pitons (although I would suggest some pruning of trees to open the view even more). I cannot begin to say just how great the staff was at the villa. The attention to detail with cleaning and food preparation was flawless. Fresh flowers were arranged on the beds every day, and I'm still craving the meals. If there's one suggestion I would make for future guests it would be to let Shermaine cook for you. I promise you better meals than you will eat out at any resturant. A+++ |

| Villa Beach Cottages is a special delight. Visited: February 2009 |

Once again, when we arrived we were greeted with warm, open arms welcome by staff and management. This time, they went overboard with their welcome because it was our 20th anniversary. They added a parade of balloons, banners and petals. They also included an upgrade to one of Villa Beach's stunning new and elegant suites overlooking beautiful Choc Bay with its gorgeous sunsets. Villa Beach Cottages offers everything one could ask for and more. Here you'll find a warm and relaxing environment. You'll also have immediate access to the beach, and can enjoy a swimming pool and splash pool among manicured lawns and beautiful flower beds. It also provides easy access to any outdoor experience one would expect on the island with so much to see and do - shopping, golf, day tours, great restaurants, to name a few. The suites come fully equipped with kitchenettes, living and dining rooms, TV, Internet, phone and access to the beach, and verandas or balconies. Laundry facilities and car rental and taxi service are available on site, too. What sets Villa Beach Cottages apart from all others is the warm and personal attention provided by all staff and management. Every need is met, and every detail is attended to. The Suites are clean and tidy by conscientious housekeepers on a daily basis. We are booked to return again next year. We will be bringing family and friends with us to enjoy the warmth and hospitality of our home away from home. |

My wife and I just returned from our honeymoon at Crystals. It was wonderful. We stayed in the Sugar Cane Cottage. It was very open to a great view. We could also close it up and have the air conditioning on great for very hot days. Our cottage was immaculate, from the marble white floors in the bedroom to the rustic style kitchen. It was very well equipped. Apart from the wonderful cottage, we loved the owners and staff at Crystals. They made us feel like family. The zip line is a must. If you are like us and are active, try the Gros Piton Trail. The views at the top are amazing. Our guide, Gilda, was great. We did the rainofrest walk with Rass. Again, a must do. Our best day was spent just relaxing in our pool and enjoying a rum punch. We plan to come back with friends in two years. Thanks Monica, Christine, Arlette and Rass, Martin, and all who looked after us at Crystals. |

We stayed here for one week in the Advocado Cottage. We had a wonderful time! The view of the sea, the pool with a sea view, the exotic flowers in the garden, and the quiet and remoteness of the cottage were all excellent. The apartment was clean and comfortable, and the bed was good. Dave and Wanda made us feel very welcomed. We enjoyed the daily tropical breakfast, and Dave's eco-tour was a good introduction for getting around on the island. |

My husband and I have stayed in many resorts, and found Almond Morgan Bay to be one of the best. The grounds were immaculate, the food was delicious, staff was gracious, and the entertainment was fun - especially Disco nite! We are planning another trip here for 2010, and we can't wait! |

You could not ask for a better place to stay. My wife and I were looking for something outside the standard resort/all-inclusive style accommodation, and Nature's Paradise delivered that and more. David and Wanda are wonderful people. From David's expansive knowledge of the island, to Wanda's amazing breakfast and baking (the muffins are to die for), you could not find more accommodating hosts. As others have mentioned, you definitely should rent a vehicle for your stay. Nature's Paradise is nestled at the top of the hill in Marigot, and you definitely don't want to have to hike that every day. But that also affords you a ton of privacy, and the grounds and views are spectacular. Having a vehicle also allows you to explore the island which if you're staying for more than a few days you'll definitely want to do. Some of the highlights: * David's tour down to Soufriere. * Breakfast. * The view from the cottages and the pool. * Dinner at the Rainforest Hideaway. * Pigeon Island As others have mentioned, if you are looking for a truly relaxing holiday, Natures Paradise provides a wonderful base to explore the island. |

The Cadasse Villa was a wonderful place for our visit to St. Lucia. We had a fantastic time and loved the breathtaking views we got every day from the veranda. Sherma was awesome, and made us feel at home. Brian was great as well. We wouldn't stay anywhere else on our visits to St. Lucia. |

We have just arrived home relaxed and rejuvenated after a wonderful two-week stay in Banana cottage at Nature's Paradise. After reading reviews on here, we had high expectations. We certainly weren't disappointed. Here are our highlights that made our holiday so special. We were impressed with the friendliness, hospitality and warmth of our lovely hosts David and Wanda. Nothing was too much trouble for them. We also enjoyed the company over Wanda's brilliant breakfasts. We especially liked the delicious the mangos and banana bread. Also, Wanda's lush gardens were beautiful. David's Soufriere Tour was a fabulous day - intimate and informative. Lunch at Ladera was amazing, too, with spectacular view of the Pitons. Fisherman's Cove was a nice treat. It was so close to Natures Paradise, and was a lovely secluded bay. Pigeon Point was peaceful with great views. The deserted and desolate Grand Anse beach on the Atlantic coast, was nice, too. Anse Cochon Beach was great for snorkeling, and lunch at Ti Kaye Resort beach bar was fun. Anse de Sables Beach near the Hewanorra Airport was a good find, as well. We liked having lunch at the Fox Grove Inn on the East Coast with views over to the ocean. 'Friday Fish Fry' at Anse La Raye, offered a friendly, fun atmosphere with some interesting dishes! Lunch at the inexpensive Bread Basket at Rodney Bay Marina was nice, too. Our dinner at the 'Mango Tree' Stonefield Estate was special. We arrived just in time for a stunning sunset. Other memorable activities were visiting the Roseau Dam and completing the Millet trail; lazing by the pool with a good book and the occasional dip; listening to a live Jazz musician at the Hurricane Hole, and drinking cool pints of Piton Beer; and an exhilarating Skyride and Zipwire adventure. The friendly, laid back St. Lucians, were also so helpful when we were lost! We loved the evening meals at Razmataz and Delirious, in Rodney Bay, and enjoyed getting to know the wildlife on our balcony. Beautiful Marigot Bay was just at the bottom of the hill. While you're here, you should also visit Balenbouche Estate. The hosts were lovely and it is in a rustic, atmospheric and historical setting. We also dined at Rainforest Hideaway. It offered a romantic setting, delicious meal, and great service. It was the perfect last night treat, and is not to be missed. Looking through the photos now that we are back home, we are reminded of the spectacular scenery - rainforests, mountains, waterfalls, seascapes, dramatic skies, wildlife, exotic flowers, beaches, and sunsets, etc. They are all precious reminders to keep forever. When you go, don't forget your camera! We enjoyed the freedom and flexibility that Natures Paradise and our 4-wheel drive gave us. We experienced a perfect mix of romance and adventure, and we loved it! We hope to return one day. Thanks David and Wanda! |

We just had my daughter's wedding reception here. Peter and his wife were fantastic; and the cook was amazing. We had the best time of our lives! Thank you Peter for everything. I've never had food as amazing as we had here, and we live in Las Vegas, Nevada! |

My family (wife, mother, two sisters and their husbands) and I could not have asked for a better introduction to the West Indies than the wonderful island and people of St. Lucia, especially the people of Villa Gina. Cosmos and his wife Gina (for whom the villa is named) were kind and friendly people who more than adequately represented the island country of St. Lucia. And Merlin, with her quick smile, mad our vacation complete. If you go, you need to ask Merlin to cook you an authentic St. Lucian meal. As for the villa itself, you will not find a prettier view anywhere. The accommodations were beyond our expectations. Although, if it weren't for the steady breeze, the lack of air conditioning could cause some from the northern climates to pause. But, oh, the open-air shower...what a refresher! I heartily endorse Villa Gina. I want to go back now! |

"We have once again not long returned from another wonderful trip to the beautiful island of St Lucia and our home from home there Villa Beach Cottages. Since our last trip there had been many beautiful changes including a number of very lovely new villas and we were treated to an upgrade to enjoy the comfortable and elegant new amenities. We were awakened each morning by the singing of the birds and the gentle surf on the beach outside our bedroom window, The view of the bay is stunning. The whimsical gingerbread architecture and gardens are beautiful, a tranquil oasis in which to laze away the days. Once again we have great praise for the management and staff who are all truly delightful and efficient. All is accomplished with warm St Lucia smiles and together they supply a fountain of knowledge and excellent service in all things to help make one's visit truly memorable. We have the greatest pleasure in recommending Villa Beach Cottages and look forward happily to our next visit " |

We loved having a pool and villa maintained by Doreen and Dragon-they were great! Everything was kept very clean. There were six women on this trip, and we felt very safe at this facility. Each bedroom had an air conditioner-some worked better than others. We enjoyed our time at the Wild Orchid Villa. |

My wife and I recently stayed at this hotel in Soufriere just to get away for some alone time with each other. We had an incredible time. This was an excellent small property with a very personalized setting. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, which made us feel right at home. The surroundings were clean with a breathtaking view of the ocean and the majestic pitons. Talk about trying to catch the final "green flash" from the sun as it disappears in the horizon. The rooms were clean and spacious with a very comfortable bed (I must say). There were also very few distractions, which was ideal for our getaway. The food was delicious. A must is the local breakfast with local bread with coco tea and codfish. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who really wants to get away from it all and just relax and enjoy a peaceful moment with friends or family. |

I came to St. Lucia with my husband and daughter, and we stayed at St. Lucian by rex resorts. The resort was perfect for us. It was right on the beautiful Reduit Beach, and they had friendly staff and nice food. The hotel offered great value for our money. I would definitely recommend it. |
