“Never Again ! Worn and Torn !”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed February 6, 2013

If this hotel was your only place to stay in St lucia, you would never return to the island. Terrible service, horrible rooms with worn and torn bedspread, a tv that had more snow then switzerland. It is the absolute BASIC of a basic hotel. To add insult to injury once you are discovered to be a tourist you will find strange and inexplicable taxes added to your bill...that do NOT appear on local guests bills.

Room Tip: dont bother ...sleep on the beach !!

“Agreed - U Get What U Pay For”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 12, 2011

We went there just for a weekend. I cant really say anything bad because it doesn't really cost that much. When we got to the room, the remotes for the TV and AC weren't working so we had to go back downstairs to the reception desk. The bathroom was dated but clean and the room was okay. My biggest disappointment was the breakfast in the morning. The selection should never be called a selection. I was almost done with my egg when the toast came in. As stated before, if you want luxury then pay for luxury. I will not say that I wont go back.

“The staff were very friendly but we wouldnt go back.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed August 29, 2011

The hotel is up a steep hill and opposite what appears to be a young boys correction centre. We were constantly harrassed by the "inmates" every time we stepped onto the balcony. If they werent shouting at us then they were singing, yelling and fighting amongst themselves. There was no key for the safe, no tea and coffee making facilities (the website states otherwise) and only 2 of the lights in the room worked. The pool is tiny and the bar was never open in the evening. On the plus side I have to say that the staff were very friendly and the bed was extremely comfortable.

“Ocean View Night Club”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed May 31, 2011

In all fairness I have to say the staff where great, the view’s are fantastic and I think this small hotel nestled on a hillside in a lovely little neighborhood has so much potential. The hotel it’s self is a little old and worn but would be a great inexpensive place to stay. It’s close to Rodney Bay where the beaches are and where everything happens but it’s far enough away to make it what should be a great quiet location for a great getaway. However unless you only want to stay during the week beware. At the weekends the hotels turns into a very rough night club with window rattling load music and a not so pleasant clientele. When we complained we were told it was a one off private event but when we spoke to people in the local neighborhood (St Lucian’s are very friendly) we were told they do this every week and it keeps getting louder and louder. The management seem more interested in running a nightclub than a hotel.
