“Great Staff”

Coco Kreole

Jun 18, 2007
2/2 found this review helpful

When we stayed at this hotel, they were building another hotel in the grounds and the noise of diggers, dirt and dust were so terrible, they agreed that we would get refunded for some of our stay via Virgin Holidays, this never happened, despite us contacting Virgin on our return, still no refund two years later.
The works have obviously now finished and the hotel is left with a view of the new bigger hotel in the grounds.

The rooms in this hotel are very light and airy, if a little basic, they do have small en-suite bathrooms and on the ground floor have a nice balcony out to the garden, giving a real pavillion feel. Local little birds sit outside on the verandah and are very tame. The rooms are also air conditioned and have a fridge which is great , as you can store your own drinks, fruit etc in the room.

The views from the hotel are not good, at the front you have a view of the main road running through Rodney Bay Village and the back although it has a small garden, overlooks their towering sister hotel. The swimming pool is very small.

The staff are excellent,it's the real plus point of the place, extremely friendly and helpful and an early evening drink in the bar is a must, the barman will mix cocktails and happily chat away, the bar is small on the terrace but very relaxing with cushions scattered about.

Food-wise. Breakfast is toast, cereals and yoghurt in the bar, laid out buffet style from 6, it is great with lots of fresh fruit as well. You can order egg dishes at a hefty charge. The hotel does not offer lunch or dinner, but you can visit Rodney Bay where fast food , traditional Kreole cooking or smart restaurants are aplenty.
The hotel did throw a free Barbecue for the guests once a week and also a Carribean food night which you can buy tickets for, both were great.

The hotel is a 10-15 minute walk to the beach, where you can hire a sunbed in front of one of the smart hotels for a small charge. Beware the days the cruise ships are in town as the beaches get mobbed, with overloud cruisers.There are beach sellers,don't be intimidated, or let it put you off going to the beach, they are friendly locals, you can haggle them in to a realistic price for bead bracelets, coconut bird feeders etc, buy from them on the first day and then they'll leave you alone.

The hotel is a good base to go on some of the local tours, definitely go in to the rainforest and do some Island exploring, the dawn cruise that the hotel kindly arranged us is very romantic.
Avoid the Quad bike trip, it's a rip off!

If you want to explore St Lucia but aren't mega rich and don't like the Lock you in / everyone else out style Resort Hotels like Sandals, meet a few locals and experience the local bars and restaurants, don't mind not having a romantic view and a walk to the beach, then this hotel will be absolutely fine.

Overall, a small friendly family feel hotel on the edge of town, ideal if you're on a budget.

I would stay there again.

“hmmm...”

Coco Kreole

May 27, 2007
3/3 found this review helpful

I looked at both Coco Palm and Coco Kreole before deciding on here. The main difference is that Coco Kreole is more like guesthouse and Coco Palm is a hotel. Look at both properties before you make your decision cos you may look at the price and think there's no difference but the difference is HUGE! Coco Kreole is small and cosy, set up so you meet people. The location is great and there is a little pool that I didn't try and breakfast is sufficient for your needs. There's also a shared computer in the lobby with free internet, cable TV in all rooms and if you lucky enough to meet Penny (the hotel manager) you will have a great stay.

The only problem I found was I felt they tended to concentrate more on Coco Palm because it's newly opened and Coco Kreole is getting a bit neglected. We didn't have hot water in the morning and no-one was around to help, our sheets weren't clean either and we ended up having to call someone from Coco Palm who never turned up. The water came on eventually and the plus about staying here is the price is good and you can use all the facilities in Coco Palm as well as Coco Kreole. If you don't like cats stay away from Coco Kreole because they have a cat that hangs around there and if he's hungry and you're having breakfast he will chase you around till he gets something!

“Best Holiday Ever”

1/1 found this review helpful

Allan and Karen, Manchester, UK.

My wife and I have just returned from the Coco Kreole having stayed two weeks for the Cricket World Cup.Most of the other reviews were spot on. Small and friendly, the staff (special mentions to Peppy, Demitrius, Junius and Anthony) made a great holiday into something very special. All the little extras that are normally chargeable such as safe hire, internet access etc are free of charge. Lovely clean rooms, with fridge(godsend), simple but excellent breakfast, you can pay for a cooked one at Coco Palm if you wish.
It is true that it can get a little noisy at the front but this is a small inconvenience and we were not disturbed that much by having a poolside room.
Most people use the facilties at Coco Palm which has an excellent pool and bar although some days we preferred to relax on the terrace or in the garden of Kreole which is quite private.
Good location for the beach and Marina, all the shops and restaurants are in easy walking distance, what more could you want?

“Loved the CoCo Kreole”

My two friends and I spent three wonderful days at the CoCo Kreole. Let me tell you, what a place. All of the reviews are right. You could not ask for a better villa. Small and personnal without that western flair. The staff was very good and I enjoyed talking with the quests. So friendly,--- like family. I remember Juion and Como. Hey, travel to St. Lucias go to Rodney Bay and stay at the CoCo Kreole you will have a great vacation.The food at the CoCo Palm was the bomb and the attendants, Elizabeth, Myra, and the bartender Cage were great. Just wanted you guys to know that in 2007, I am going back to St. Lucia and staying at the CoCo Kreole, see you there.

“Nice Hotel, great stay”

Coco Kreole

Nov 23, 2006
2/2 found this review helpful

This is a very nice hotel with friendly staff. Super nice people. The hotel is noisy on weekend nights, as is this whole area- but in general, the rooms are nice and clean. Like anything, you get what you pay for and this is not a very high end place- but it is perfectly nice, close to Reduit beach and a number of decent restaurants, and everyone in the hotel is extremely helpful. Also, the included breakfast, while not fancy, is very good. Pool view rooms are worth a few extra bucks because they tend to be quieter.
