Lovely stay in St Lucia

We had a lovely stay at the Sandpiper. Lovely location overlooking the garden and the reserve. Staff very friendly,the car wash was a lovely touch.My only criticism would be that the showers needs a good scrub with bleach, a bit moudly and needs attention. Will definately go back to a nicer bathroom unit.

Great experience

The host was great, she did everything she can to make our stay unforgettable. We didn't book any activity in advance, but she helped us to organise a safari to Hluluwe national park and a hippo boat tour. We would definitly recommend this place.

The place to stay

Great place, relaxed and friendly. Yvonne is a perfect host and really went the extra mile to make sure that we maximised our time in St Lucia/Cape Vidal. She couldn't do emough. It's unfortunate that Hotels.com always select the cheapest room which is small and has no veranda. They really need to give booking options. We got an upgrade for one night but that was no thanks to Hotel.com

HIPPO HAVEN

We lived this place. The breakfast was the best ever and although not on the Main Street of St Lucia it was in a beautiful setting with fantastic views. We woke early to see lots of monkeys from our room. The owner gave us great attention and our only regret was that we couldn’t stay longer. You are advised not to walk around at night because if the hippos in the street but we didn’t encounter any on our walk back from the town. We did the hippo boat trip which is a must. The rooms are cosy and welcoming. There is a lovely beach nearby too.
