Marlize is an amazing host that really cared that we’ll have the best time. I never met such an great host! Even before we arrived, she was helpful and responsive with questions about the drive to and from St. Lucia and provided tips for that. Upon check-in she immediately handed us maps and helped us build an itinerary. She also asked if we need help with booking activities. When she learned that we were going whale watching early in the morning she suggested that we skip breakfast before, and instead she’ll have breakfast pack waiting for us in the room’s fridge when we returned. Both evening she asked what we would like for breakfast and suggested options for us to choose. When we were in urgent need for laundry after the whale watching, she immediately came to the rescue. She was also very quick to responses. Both before and during our stay. The place itself in nice. The rooms are large. Both the regular room and the family room very quite location. Not on the busy main street, but an easy 10 minute walk that felt safe even at night.
