The staff was great and helped with all our concerns. The rooms were also really nice and cozy.
United States of AmericaWell designed, garden beautiful, more suitable for overseas tourists. Nice welcome from owners.
South AfricaI liked the surroundings, you can sit on your porch and listen to the water flowing in the steam and the frogs croaking. Very unique!
United States of AmericaWe had a perfect stay at Umlilo Lodge! Everything was perfect. Staff is super friendly, they arranged the hippo river boat tour and a safari for us. Room was nice with good airco, big comfortable bed, good shower. Breakfast was good as well; delicious omelet with cheese, onion, tomato and peppers, muesli with fresh fruits and yoghurt. We loved the jungle vibe with all the trees! We enjoyed relaxing at the pool in the afternoon while the monkeys were running around and climbing in the trees. The location is great, very close (3 min walk) to the restaurants. You don’t have to go by car if you want to have dinner. If we ever go back to St Lucia we would stay here again. Highly recommended!
NetherlandsThe lodge has a really nice cosy vibe and it's located in the proximity of the city centre of St. Lucia, a walking distance from shops and restaurants.
NetherlandsLove the jungle atmosphere; the staff and owners are great.
