The staff were wonderful, our room was so beautiful - the atmosphere was so relaxing and it really felt like we were on holiday. What was also really accommodating is the breakfast packs we got as we had to leave early.

St Lucia is a break away from a busy city life yet you're still in a town. A beautiful place to be adventurous and yet relaxed. The town is small enough to walk around in and enjoy the ambience. The boat cruise on the estuary is awesome. The many restaurants serve good food too

The place was amazing and really peaceful, we enjoyed our stay, our bad encounter was actually with the manager on site not the host. This was due to a misunderstanding. Our stay was really great, restaurants were a walking distance and so we're the shops.

Beautiful beaches and town. Boat trip on the Estuary was lovely. Best part was the drive to Cape vidal. Saw plenty of wildlife on the way including elephant, rhino, Buffalo, different types of buck and warthog.

St Lucia is clean. I was walking at night alone and felt safe. Enjoyed the cruise with Fannas to see the hippos.
Enough restaurants to eat out.
No beggars on street corners or street children.
The beaches are clean.

Expensive small tourist town in which the majority of black people are there to work but do not live there and do not own much of the local economy, except being service providers. The St Lucia Wetlands Park Authority and other entities have a lot of work to do, to ensure black investment in the tourism sector as owners rather than servants. The racial and ethnical picture in the restaurants is very deplorable and has not changed much since apartheid. This makes the town, not the best place to visit for holiday. I would not visit for a long time for leisure to spend my hard earned black cash is an economy that is refusing to change. The private sector operating here needs to enjoin government efforts for economic transformation and support the diversification of the tourist sector - not by fronting but real transformation.

ST as we call it here in Joburg is a beautiful place with plenty to see an do if you have the transport. Walking around town is not a problem because it's "short and sweet' yet full of attractions, shops and restaurants just as in any self-respectful beach destination. Full of places to rest in and dine. Beaches need transport but in our country if you have no wheels you stay home! Trust me it's well worth it! UNESCO parks, Big (4) cos' no Lions allowed ;-) 25degC ocean water and a lots of fun! Activities can be found with a short search so I'm not going to go that deep.
And, to answer Booking.com's robot:
"What would you avoid on your next visit?"
A; My mother's snoring ;-)
Come visit ST...and prove me wrong!
The hosts Adrian and Marie offered a very warm welcome. Adrian told us all about the local area, he's lived in St Lucia most of his life, and helped us put together an itinerary for our 4 days there. He then booked tours and safaris for us and even loaned us his golf clubs free of charge. The breakfast provided by Marie was fantasic and varied every day. Only 5 minutes walk and we even saw hippos in the park opposite (Marie messaged us to tell us they were there). Excellent place, lovely people, highly recommend.
We had a fantastic time staying at AmaZulu. Not only is it conveniently located, with clean, comfortable rooms, a lovely pool and delicious breakfast, but are staff were exceptional. We felt welcomed and taken care of the entire time. They generously helped us book a fairly last minute river cruise, and provided helpful recommendations for other activities, and restaurants to visit in the area. We will definitely be staying with AmaZulu the next time we visit St. Lucia.
There was no breakfast. It is a self catering cottage. The apartment catered to all our needs.
When we entered the apartment, the aircon and lights were switched on which is amazing as we arrived at night and after a long journey, the cool, welcoming, well arranged apartment felt like a home away from home!
It was quiet and nobody bothered us. We would love to stay again but for longer next time!
This was the best stay of our trip in South Africa. Henny and Ilze are such friendly hosts, did everything to make us happy (and even went outside for us to look for hippo's). The room was very big, with a small terrace to sit outside. Furthermore the garden was beautiful, with a pool and sunbeds. Breakfast was delicious! We would definitely recommend this place.
It is nice, clean, has enough room for two families. We loved the fact that everything you need is there. It is self catering and has a daily housekeeper and gardener. The location is very close to town within walking distance to town. We all felt very safe at this property. It is in a very quiet neighborhood with no distractions or disturbances.
This place is fantastic!
Esmerie and the team are extremely nice and helpful.
The room is great, clean, large and with a private patio.
Breakfast is exquisite!
The location is perfect ; close to the main street and the beach.
To top it off, they organized for us a safari tour in the game reserve nearby. One of our best memories in South Africa.
We loved the cabin we stayed in, it was spotlessly clean and ultra comfortable and the beds and pillows were spot on. Shelly the proprietor was so helpful and friendly as well as the staff. We will be returning next year and look forward to it, its the ONLY place I would stay in St Lucia.
Did not try the breakfast since I booked self catering. We will book breakfast the next time as most of the restaurants only open from 09h00, with the exception of Wimpy. After 09h00, there are plenty of options and the kitchen is well equipped.
The people who run the Guest House are super friendly and help you with everything, from reservations for excursions to helpful tips for your stay. The breakfast is delightful! We would definitely recommend a stay here when visiting St. Lucia.
I would recommend 31 The Bridge to any family looking for a self catering apartment in St Lucia. The place was very neat, secure and ideally located just outside the swimming pool. Everything mentioned on their site was provided accordingly.
On arrival, our unit was well prepared, clean and had all necessary utensils for self catering. The staff's hospitality and friendliness ensured that we felt at home....and oh, we loved the pool (given the heat in the area).
Quiet beautiful scenery, located close to the beach, beautiful town scenery,, happy cheerful staff always ready to assist,, comfy bedding, self catering facilities,, super fast wifi,, will definitely go there more often
A beautiful hotel that felt like a rainforest oasis. The owners were super helpful and friendly and the breakfasts tasty. It was just a block from the main road but totally quiet, tranquil and restful.
A great place with a warm friendly feel.Having been in St. Lucia many years ago, the memories from here will last a life time and will definitely be a draw back for another trip to the area.
The Bridge is ideally situated, walk away from the shops and restaurants. Found St Lucia to be safe to walk even at night ... kudos to their police and people running the town
There is nothing not to like about The Sandpiper - perfect location, great facilities and friendly and helpful staff. It will be the reason we go back to St Lucia!
