Wedding? Vow Renewal? Honeymoon? Book here. Jan & Tony have not only been our hosts. They have been our weddingplaner and we could not have been in better hands. We had the most wonderful caribbean wedding ceremony on the beach in front of their house...and you really just step out of their property and you are on the beach under palmtrees. It is not a private beach like within these hotels & resorts...but this makes it even better: instead of hotel guests watching your special moment, you have the local kids playing in the water & some fishermen nearby. Jan & Tony are so active & dedicated to the little village that everyone simply loves them and their guests. We couldn't feel more welcomed and the atmosphere was wonderful. Jan & Tony organized the whole stay & wedding. They took care of every little extra wish regarding our ceremony and even came up with their own wonderful ideas: our arch was handmade from driftwood, we could chose the color of all flowers/bouquet, our rings were carried in a conch from Laborie beach, the local steelpan band played, we set some white doves free to fly, we had a beautyful wedding cake at the Balenbouch Estate and 2nd location session with Frank the fotographer, we had a private chef preparing lobster for us in the evening. Everything was more than perfect. Perfect Location with perfect hosts for the perfect day!!! Thank you so much!!!
My travel partner and I had the pleasure of staying at Mango Splash not once, but TWICE during our St. Lucian holiday. We booked our trip to spend the first 4 days in Laborie, then moved North to Rodney Bay for the remainder of our stay. Within the first 3 days up North we realized just how much we missed how quiet and uncomplicated things are at Mango Splash and in Laborie. Thankfully the Apt. was available so we could come "home" again. :)
Jan and Tony are WONDERFUL hosts. They were a pleasure to work with throughout the entire experience; from booking through to airport drop offs as we departed. They charge very reasonable rates for airport transport and are more than willing to provide transportation for other necessities (groceries, drivers permits, etc...). We also loved that they had a vehicle we could rent to explore the island ourselves. They provided us excellent advice from where to eat, to attractions to explore. Every recommendation was spot on!
The Apt. itself was perfect for the two of us. It was very clean and set up appropriately for two people to stay. We loved that the beach was just around the backside of the house and we could take advantage of it whenever we wanted!
Laborie is a very quiet, fishing village - which is what we loved the most about it! Despite it being quiet, you can easily walk to find whatever you need; food, light groceries and of course beer! We also appreciated that the locals were very polite and did not hassle us as we hung on the beach or walked through the village.
Cannot recommend Mango Splash enough for those looking for a quiet, lovely place to call home while visiting St. Lucia!

This was the last place my wife and I stayed on our honeymoon. After 11 days exploring the island, we wanted to relax before we had to fly home. This place hit the mark perfectly for that. If you are looking for a place to escape for a few days and experience some real St Lucia, I would recommend it without reservations. Tony was an incredible host, making sure we had everything we needed and also joining us on our first walk into town for dinner (at Mama Tilly's, which was great!). Located right next to the playing fields, you can always find some action. We happened to be there right as a local cricket tournament was finishing up and got to watch some 20/20. My only complaint is, as a tall person, that the bed is on the small side, but not enough to ruin anything at all. Make sure you get a chicken and bake from Zoe's (the blue house across the playing fields) for lunch. Please note that the owners live on site and have a number of very friendly dogs, so if you dont like animals this might not be the place for you.

This is the place to stay if you want to have a spotless apartment in an almost unspoiled fisher village with very friendly people. Tony was a gorgeous host and we enjoyed each minute of our stay. It felt so good arriving at this place and getting a warm welcome. Spending some time with Tony was very interesting and a lot of fun. Located directly at the beach we were able to use this one, too.
We felt very safe during our stay.

Tony and Jan were fantastic hosts, who were very knowledgeable and very helpful. The accommodation was spotless and well presented. The house opens directly onto a beautiful beach, which is unspoiled. Laborie is a fantastic non-touristic fishing village, with wonderfully friendly locals. It is a short distance to the main airport, and is a good base to visit the rest of the island from. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mango Splash and would highly recommend it!

Only good things to say about this place - first class helpful landlord, first class location, really friendly village. This was a great introduction to St Lucia and I can thoroughly recommend it. If you are expecting five star luxury with super restaurants in the village this is not the place for you. If you are expecting a super clean apartment right on the edge of a fantastic beach and access to a friendly village with bars and basic food outlets - then go for it!

My husband and I spent three wonderful days and two nights at Mango Splash. Our ground floor room was just the right size, complete with walk-in shower, small fridge and basic cooking appliances and utensils and a table for two. The wi-fi reception was excellent, and the room comes with an air conditioner though we didn't need it because the windows open to a refreshing sea breeze. The unit is located right on the embankment of the main beach in Laborie. Quiet at night, we slept like babes. There's an outdoor shower to wash off sand (the spout come out of a fanciful lion’s head!), beach chairs and a picnic table and barbecue. Security is excellent, as heavy imported doors are secured with a punch-in lock and there's a built in combination safe in the room. And there's space for secure parking inside their gate.
This is our second time visiting Laborie, one of our favorite towns in St. Lucia. The town folks are so friendly and the pace of life and local culture is a throwback to how much of St. Lucia was decades ago. Just step through their gate for a swim in the Caribbean Sea or stroll on the beach and chat with friendly fishermen descaling their catch on the shore. And no need to drive anywhere, as all shops and restaurants in town are within walking distance.
Owners Jan and Tony are wonderful hosts. They responded quickly to all our email inquiries before our visit. They are very friendly and helpful, and they've obviously bonded closely with local town folks, who greet them warmly on the street. And their recommendations for restaurants serving authentic Caribbean cuisine hit our pallets perfectly. They offered to pick us up at nearby Hewanorra Airport for an affordable price and even had a car for rent, though we needed neither as we drove down from Castries. Since we were arriving late Sunday and the shops were closed they were kind enough to offer to purchase food items for us, the cost of which they just added to the bill.
We recommend highly Mango Splash for those wishing to avoid the congestion of Castries and Rodney Bay and the commercialism of all-inclusive resorts.
