Independent hotels in Castries Waterworks Forest Reserve, St. Lucia

I went on honeymoon in May 2011 to this resort. We were collected by a lovely driver who's name escapes me and were transferred to the resort- The road down to the resort is very rough and as everyone says, do not let this put you off. There is method to this, so that locals do not use this road to the beach, and it works as the beach purely used by hotel guests. On arrival we were met by the manager and received a gorgeous rum cocktail and were shown to our private cabin. On arrival the we were...

Quaint locally run resort. Stayed in one of the hillside cottages with a superb balcony and a spectacular view into the jungle. The room was spacious and comfortable. The plunge pool on the deck was great however there was bird excrement surrounding it. The resort it self was great. The restaurant was tasty and the staff were very friendly. Three tiered pool was awesome. Wifi was excellent

There is no way I could find any sort of fault with this property. I met people who have stayed at Windjammer on multiple occasions and it's easy to see why. The staff are truly wonderful, can't do enough for you and always remember your name. If I'm to be picky maybe some restaurant menus could be a tad more expensive but really that's only finding fault where there is none. Maybe a little quiet at night but I put that down to the fact mid May is out of season. If hopefully I'm out this way...

We loved the Honeymoon Suite at Samfi Gardens. The view was absolutely incredible and the room was spacious and clean. We got water in the rooms which was helpful. There is no restaurant at the hotel but that didn't matter to us, as there was a kitchen in the room and also it's 5 mins from the town of Soufriere. The surroundings were lush and green. Overall it was an incredible stay!

Big apartments, quiet, super friendly staff, luscious gardens by the sea
