We were travelling as a family in St Lucia for Christmas and New Year. Our base was Rodney Bay, we chose Marigot Beach because of its unique location. Chelsea booked us in and arranged our transfer all had to be covid certified for us to stay with the restrictions. As the little ferry took us across the water to our destination we felt special. We booked entry level accommodation which adequate for our needs had a lovely little terrace with a pretty view. We booked in for New Years Eve dinner and the hotel went to great lengths making it a memorable night with little prizes given out. Breakfast was lovely served cooked to order with plenty of choice. There is so much that is so unique about this place, it has a little track to lift guests up the steep hill in comfort. A nature track to the peak gives a superb view of the entire bay. We had fun swinging from the palm tree into the sea. On the beach are locals selling food, cold drinks and souvenirs. We had a little lunch bar b que which they cooked for us. Roosters running about which I heard from 5am. If I am next in St Lucia I imagine if money is spent on this hotel I will be priced out from staying as it will be a place only the super rich can afford to stay. The owner welcomes all to his unique hotel it was magical.

Spent a lovely relaxing 10 days here. No hesitation in recommending St Lucia. This is not really a party resort at all (although they have happy hour and live bands in the evenings) but that suited us just fine. Rooms and hotel facilities were all clean and comfortable but in need of updating. Food was generally very tasty and good but dinner / drinks were quite expensive. Most reception bar/restaurant and ground staff are super friendly, welcoming and take an unobtrusive interest in making sure you have a good time. In particular Imani, Ann and one other receptionist were delightful. Andrez, one of the groundsmen was also a very lovely guy. A couple of the other bar / restaurant staff were consistently a little miserable though! My wife and I spent an excellent day on a boat tour to Soufriere and adjacent beaches with Gilian. He was a gentleman and his boat is across the harbour (called Monica bless), just along from the food stall where locals eat. We had a couple of nice meals there too which were much cheaper than an of the restaurants. Finally would like to thank Duan Fred who drove us around and to sulphur springs / waterfall, botanical gardens and to the airport. He is a knowledgeable and safe driver who should clearly be a standup comedian part time :) Seems like everyone knows him but we booked him through the hotel reception.

Very disappointed in our accommodation on arrival .Took our concerns to Ann who responded very positively and was extremely helpful . We were moved into new accommodation that was above and beyond our expectation and certainly met the hotel 4 star rating it has. Hotel needs some tender loving care as it appears to be stuck in a bygone era . Loved breakfast , although having paid for this in advance we were disappointed to be told we were only able to have the buffet menu as opposed to freshly made omelettes etc as this would have been an extra cost . Loved the quirky ferry and the views from Marigot bay cannot be faulted . This is prime location crying out for Investment To bring it in line with the 4 star rating it is advertised as . Pool is small and again very tired we didn’t use at all. Whilst there is a Beach , it is very small , if you are looking for a beach resort this would disappoint. Due to the above we spent most of the time at another hotel and used their facilities
