Really good place, the pool and kitchen area were awesome! The reception helped us book our lake tour. Great location and good vibe!

Auriane France

The spacious and clean kitchen. The atmosphere is very nice and hospitable

Mahlomola South Africa

The staff was very nice, the common kitchen was always clean, there was enough ustensils to cook well and do barbecues in safety, the organisation was working very well, the bathroom were confortable, you could feel at home. Even thought it's a pretty young community visiting, the calm was always respected to sleep well. The restaurants in the nearby street were also nice if you want to party a little more.

Nina France

Great kitchen with all the utensils you may require. Added bonus is that they insisted on washing the dishes - I have stayed in many backpackers around the world and this is a first. Pool area well laid out with many areas to relax. Staff were helpful and friendly especially in providing advice on things to do around St Lucia . You can also book trips through them. I also liked that there were strict rules around quiet times so not really for people who want to party until late.

George South Africa
