"Good place for one night stay. The down side is that if the neighbors in the back party, you will be in the party. The sound goes straight into your apartment."

"Breakfast was great ,the bartenders offer me great and tasty drinks"

"Stolen Times was a nice resort. There were many beautiful and wonderful aspects of it. Our room was nice and opened right to the beach, which was lovely. The beach is private and has umbrellas to sit under and the staff comes by with water or drinks. Staff is super super friendly and very accommodating (for the most part). If you are an adventurous eater, you would enjoy the food, I am not, so I did not. It was an all inclusive, but you could only get food at certain hours, and they DID NOT accommodate for any Western paletes. The worst part about the resort was the crickets. We were on a ground floor and they have large crickets that bite, but also make the LOUDEST noise- All. Night. Long!!!! It was awful. It really was too bad because we could've heard the nice ocean sounds all night, but we just heard this loud crying of the crickets. That was miserable. My tip is that if you are a non drinker, don't get the inclusive package because you are paying everyone else's alcohol. It was nice place , but I would not go there again. There is no way not to love the Caribbean. And the beach did not disappoint."

"This villa is very clean and well maintained. The owners are onsite and very responsive to your needs and quick to respond to any requests. There is a great view of the cruise ship harbour and all the action in the harbour. The pool is beautiful but was a bit on the cool side. There is very little in the area that you can walk to due to being about 160' about the harbour (steep down hill into Castries). La Toc resort is right across the street but again a challenging walk to get to the beach. You would be best to rent a car of you will need to take a Taxi everywhere. Anthony's Taxi was reasonable and always available to take you around and easily reached through Whats app. The villa is located to the side of Castries downtown so can be noisy at times.We enjoyed our month stay overall. A day trip to Rodney Bay is a must. Dinning in the area was limited, however we did enjoy the Pink Papaya Restaurant for lunch. Coal Pot is the one main restaurant in the area but tends to be expensive for what you get."

"The host (Heather) was truly amazing and did everything and more to help and make our stay even more memorable. We were greeted with two bottles of rum and also had a beautiful meal cooked by the chef for our 1st night’s stay at the villa.We felt very safe at the villa and Bryan the handyman was also very helpful and friendly.I was staying there with my family celebrating my 60th birthday.Loved the pool and the property is very close to the sea.Thanks Heather for making our stay very special Would love to return one day."

"Sea Cliff was perfect. Val was amazing. She worked with my group of 10 to accommodate our sleeping arrangement ( mostly singles). The cottage worked perfectly for 3 single ladies and 1 couple. The veiws may be the best on the island. We enjoyed watching the cruise ships come into port along with the other smaller boats.The villa is central to the island which made it easy to get to everything we wanted to do. Bompy the driver took great care of us by showing us sites from the airport to taking us to the best store for our groceries. He even helped with hooking us up with returnable beer bottles to save us money. He really was the best amenity to the house. We followed Val's recommendations and did a full day boat trip with Exodus ( A), a dinner with Chef Sara, had a lunch at Spinnakers in Rodney Bay and returned there for the Friday night street party. We spent 2 days on Vigie beach which is surprisingly beautiful. It didn't look the best driving by it. Its an easy 15-20 min walk down hill to get there but I recommend a taxi ( 10) to get back. You can easily get a taxi at the airport right across from the beach. Beach chairs are 10 to rent and umbrellas are extra. Don't let anyone rip you off. The villa is stunning from its veiws to the layout to the staff ......well, everything!Air-conditioning is only in bedrooms but the breezes on top of the hill cooled the house nicely. The pool is smaller but plenty of room to get refreshed and hang out for the afternoon. "

"Our overall stay here was lovely. The view from the balcony was excellent with loads of activities to watch in the harbour and in the air. It is quiet, clean and comfortable. The issue is the steep hill for getting back from bars, shops and restaurants but you know the property is on a slope before you go. There are passing public minibuses so you just have to wait for one to get back up the hill! John, the host, who lives on site, is very good and helpful. Would recommend. "

"We never met the host or their property manager but they seemed helpful in their communications. The neighbor who is building a house was very friendly and helpful. Nice apartment. Clean. Minimally equipped kitchen but mostly sufficient. Buns, bananas and water left for us was thoughtful as our plane was fairly late. B-b-q area is unuseable. No landscaping on property. Balcony overlooks the local beach which is clean but the buildings are in total disrepair. Interesting to watch the cruise ships go by everyday. Car rental is pretty much a necessity."

"Enjoyed the view every single day."
