Khululiwe South Africa

The staff were friendly. The tours were convenient to arrange and were worthwhile!

Divya South Africa

Location was perfect, the rooms were big enough with everything that you may need. The staff at this place were angels, especially the lady who was working at reception. She made sure my friend received help when he had an allergic reaction after touching a jellyfish and Bongani Khumalo if I remember the name well I think he works I think he works with maintenance, he accompanied us to the clinic at night when we couldn't find any open pharmacy. The breakfast was also out of this world. All in all we enjoyed our stay there. Will definitely choose it again when visiting St Lucia. Hopefully next time the stay will be longer than 2 nights.
