St. Lucia experience

Keith and Sabine were marvelous hosts. They gave us directions to go exploring to all kinds of wonderful secluded places that we enjoyed. The first morning of ours day they took us and all the other people staying at their property out for breakfast at Marjorie's, which was on the beach. And we got to eat breakfast local Style. The little apartment that we had was very very very clean. It contained everything you would need to prepare your food including a very nice refrigerator with a freezer and a beautiful microwave and coffee pot and toaster. The bed was too hard for my liking. As I like the softest bed you can get. They provided all your towels and kitchen towels and beach towels. The pool was nice and the property was only a 2 minute walk to the beach and is between two resorts so you have a lot of beachfront to use. We took a nice walk one day and discovered a beautiful snorkeling Beach that we had all to ourselves. Ask for directions. The Gardens at espoir are absolutely gorgeous. Quaint little walking paths run through the property. Our little apartment had its own balcony and there were wash line provided with clothespins to hang your wet things from. I can't say enough nice things about this place if you are thinking about booking this it is very good value for the price. And if you ask a day ahead of time they will make you a continental breakfast in the morning and serve it to you in their beautiful balcony space.

We just returned last night from staying at Hotel Espoir for 25 days. The property is set in a very beautiful garden on a hillside. The patio from our studio had a view of this tropical oasis and the aqua colored Caribbean sea with St Lucia's town of Castries in the distance. Our morning coffee every day had this view and it was priceless. Added to this was a small pool to dip in if you got too hot and an ocean as warm as your bathtub you could swim in less than 5 min walk away down steps and a hill. The clean room and kitchen in the studio was well stocked with necessary utensils and we were able to cook anything we wanted. Small grocery store was within a 15-20 min walk away down a hill then level most of the way. The property owners, Keith and Sabine, were warm and friendly. They were willing to help you out with whatever came up! I will miss their open friendliness and many kindnesses! So if you decide to go, go with a spirit of adventure and do explore using the local transportation which was easy to get around in to local areas.

The hillside position of Apartment Espoir over looking the Caribbean Sea provides stunning views however for travellers with mobility issues it should be noted the postion could be challenging both on the grounds and walking to and from the beaches below. A rental vehicle or willingness to hire taxis to get around would be strongly recommended. The local "mini-busses" are numerous and very inexpensive. Finally the proprietors are very knowledgeable, extremely helpful and ; like all St. Lucians; warm and friendly. Two thumbs up.

Great place to stay in St Lucia. Indeed a short 3 min walk to the local beach and a small but nice pool on the property. It’s an apartment so don’t expect high end luxury. Terrain around is steep and rocky so I recommend sneakers. But it’s lovely, clean, and well kept. The service is beyond amazing. Keith is awesome. I already promised I’d come back and stay here!

Property is fantastic, the use of space is incredible, not overly fancy, but definitely charming. You get to feel right at home! LOCATION! WOW! easy walk to a breathtaking beach! Staff is not only friendly, but sincerely adorable! They will give you your space if you prefer privacy, but will be willing to share some time with you and chat if you want a little immersion in the local culture. I couldn't ask for anything better.

Apartment Espior is in a beautiful and safe location. Your view from the patio is breathtaking overlooking the sea, beautiful tropical trees and flowers, you watch the cruise ships pass by, it’s stunning! You can walk down to the beach or use their bus system, call a taxi or rent a car. I recommend either renting a car or calling a taxi. While you have a stunning view, a private pool, fire pit, and the property is beautiful it is a bit of a hike up and down all the stairs to get to the beach or a bit of a walk up hill if you walk from the street so if you can’t do that everyday I suggest renting a car. I would definitely stay there again! S & R Clark

Great apartment with glorious views

Amazing place to stay and Keith makes the place even more special with his, nothing is a problem attitude. He arranged everything for us and always has a smile on his face. The local people are friendly and accommodating. Our apartment had everything you could need and was immaculately clean with the most stunning views. The terrain is a little steep in parts but didn’t cause us a problem.

Property was very clean and tidy. Keith was very friendly and welcoming. Great view of Castries. Be aware that there is no restaurant on site. The closest is a 10 minute walk away and with breakfast from a reasonable US$12. There are also no groceries within walking distance. Wifi is good but drops occasionally. If you are looking for a couples getaway and have rented a car, this is the perfect place.

The appartment is comfortable, with a fully equipped kitchen, access to pool and 5 minutes from the beach. It has a wonderful view of the sea. It is clean, comfortable and quiet. The owner Keith is most hospitable and eager to help: he arranged airport pickup and checked me in early. I had most pleasant 2 days in Espoir, relaxing and carefree. Note to future guests: the Windjammer Resort next doors has restaurants where one can eat, but if you are lazy to get out, stock up on groceries on your way from the airport. Peter, the taxi driver, will take you to the supermarket to get your groceries

Exactly as described and thoughtfully decorated space. Plenty of room to spread out not only in the apartments and patio, but around the entire garden/property. Keith was a terrific host.  He helped with my luggage, provided a wealth of knowledge about the island and went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay at Apartment E’spoir.
