We stayed at Crystals in Papaya for four nights over the new year in 2011. We chose Crystals, mainly because we were looking for self catering accommodation at a reasonable price with good views of the Pitons. In this regard, it didn't disappoint. For the price, I don't think we could have gotten much better accommodation in St. Lucia, particularly... More

My fiance and I had an absolutely marvelous time at Crystals. We stayed in the Papaya Cottage with wonderful views of the Pitons and water. We opened up the cottage during the day to the breezes, but did enjoy the air conditioned bedroom at night. We enjoyed having all the space in the cottage and cooked several dinners in the... More

Hello! My Husband and I stayed here just this past week for our Honeymoon... we wanted to visit St. Lucia & be away from the all the hub-bub, and to stay somewhere as far away from a "Sandals" type place as we could. We're the adventure seeking type, and we're also the type of people who really appreciate family run... More

My wife and I could not have asked for a more romantic honeymoon during our stay at Crystals in St. Lucia. From the moment we arrived Monica was very professional and the entire staff treated us as though we were family. We stayed in the Papaya Cottage, and we would highly recommend doing so, the pool/sun deck views are absolutely... More

My wife and I spent nine days at Crystals and they were memorable this month. Crystals is a unique boutique hotel that has taken on the personality of it's owners Monica and Martin Charles.Located several miles north of Soufrieres on a hill above the Pacific, it affords great views of the Pitons and is handy to most of the islands...

Returned back from Crystals last Saturday evening. My wife and I went there for four days to celebrate our 28th anniversary. We were missing the place (and the people) halfway on our flight back!! From the moment we arrived and were greeted by Martin and Monica we felt like we were at our home away from home. Of course having... More
