​Already checked off the most visited places in St. Lucia? — things to do, Volcano, Pitons, Gardens —and not sure where to go next? Enbas Saut Rainforest Trail

We want to thank Janus for a wonderful stay. This was our first international visit together as a couple and first time in St. Lucia. Driving on the ‘’wrong side’’ of the road, we didn’t end up renting a car but Janus and his team were here to help and drove us everywhere we needed to go for a fair price.

​The view from Sargas was truly majestic and the place was very clean. Janus makes vacationing convenient and affordable and luxurious. We highly recommend the mud baths at the Sulphur springs. Our skins were so nice and soft afterwards and helped alleviate my sun burn and mosquito bites.

We also recommend going to the black sandy beaches and do some snorkeling. Our driver also took us to the Tet Paul Trail which was so worth the U.S$10 entrance fee. Sugar beach is absolutely beautiful however there is a U.S $50.00 entrance fee but that gives you credit to the restaurant for food and drinks. A shuttle (free) took us to the beach once alton dropped us off.

The food was amazing at Fedos, I had the best chicken roti there, and it is quiet and affordable. The food was so fresh and not heavy and was very healthy. We are going to try to stop at Fedos on our way to the airport.

Janus was an amazing host. He made us feel welcomed and super easy to contact.

We ate at Pier 28 (amazing food and staff) The server informed us that tipping on card is more of a Hassel than it is worth. Keep cash on hand for tipping everywhere and some places don’t accept card.
We went north to Marigot Bay because it was a holiday and most places were closed. Marigot bay had some nice stores open along with restaurants. We met “Rich the party guy” water taxi captain and he took us everywhere. Sulphur Springs, snorkeling, diamond falls. Great food, places and rum distillery.

We had a rental car. It was easier to get from place to place but def. not for everyone.
​
Will for sure be back 😊 

Greetings from PA! My husband and I came here to spend our anniversary and have been pleasantly surprised. Janus and his team are terrific. They will take you everywhere and bring you anything you might need. If you are here on the weekend, you might want to head over there as they will be celebrating down there (music, food and drinks) If you need any groceries- Erolines Supermarket is only a 15 minute walk into town. Janus’s team can take you. We did the below while here-

Recommended

• Tet Paul Trail - Nice breezy hike with stunning views!
• Volcano /Sulphur springs- must see! You are staying right in the middle of it!
• Anse Chastanet – must for snorkeling (the reef is amazing and safe)
• Anse Mamin- walk up from Anse Chastanet. Neat to see.
• Hackshaw boat Cater- saw lots of Dolphins but no whales. Not sure I recommend for the drive and price
• Pigeon island National park- Beautiful! Quite the hike up the fort etc. so wear hiking shoes, beach there is very nice as well so pack a swim suite
• Sugar beach – another amazing snorkel site. This place was beautiful and relaxing (worth the $100) (which goes towards your food & gifts)

​
And if you wasn’t some good creole food, we recommend the waterfront. Right up by the docks. Pitit peak is also great with amazing views. Valelse  is also very good. Has the best cheesecakes! Can walk to all!

P.S – Janus is awesome! The best host! You are in wonderful hands! Enjoy!

Day 1- We picked up a rental car and learned we had to drive on the left side, my husband was so nervous. But he picked it up. We arrived at the Villa and was amazed with the view and villa. We had a long flight from delays so we were super hungry and Janus had a gentleman help us find food at Pitit Peak.

We just got Sandwiches and came back to villa. We weren’t able to go make groceries because it was a holiday and stored were closed. We just rested and hang out at the villa.

Day 2- woke up and went and grab some food at Fedos down the hill. It was okay but everyone was really nice. We made apt. for massage at Oja’s Spa and wellness in Rodney Bay. We didn’t know it would take us over an hour to get to that side of the Island but it was a lot to do over there. Casino’s and shops.

We came back and hung out at the pool and looked forward to our private chef Ramsey. OH MY GOD! The food was amazing. He was so pleasant and we enjoyed talking with him. You must reserve at least one night with him.

Day 3- Woke up and made some coffee and breakfast and enjoyed the view. We got with Janus and one of his drivers took us to Sulphur Springs for the tour and mud baths. We came back to the villa and it was raining so we couldn’t go to Sugar Beach.

​Stayed in Villa and enjoyed Chef Ramsey Again. The meal was amazing again. We had the creole shrimp this time.

Boucan by Hotel Chocolat- very good place to get dinner, drinks and of course dessert! Amazing place!

Soufriere Orientation Tour – we did this with Jamal it was Def. worth it!

Tet Paul Trail- amazing views and easy trail

Volcano- Really cool- we also got a tour with a guide which was very informative

Botanical Gardens- so lush and beautiful. Also pretty cook waterfall in the gardens
​
Fedo’s- for lunch, very good authentic meal!

Pitit Peak Restaurant – food was alright. Nice atmosphere on the water and pretty inexpensive.
Whispers- we came here on a tour for lunch and were given a buffet of traditional Caribbean food – very good!

Tree top adventure Park – we went ziplining and on a nature walk/hike here. Kind of a long drive to get to but great place 12 rounds of Ziplining the people who work there are super friendly

Gros Piton Hike – awesome experience! Def challenging at times but so worth it!

We decided to rent Sargas Villa for 2 nights and are so glad we did! It was a great place to hang out at. Janus and his team are amazing. Super helpful and just kind people

Oh yea, we also had chef Ramsey for dinner one night. Very good food and cool experience
Thanks St. Lucia, we love you!

So my wife and I originally scheduled to stay at Sapphire 3 (down the hill) From june 5- june 12th. We stayed at a resort in Castries from May 29th to June 5th and prior to coming to Soufriere, we decided to book here at Sargas fro 2 nights. Now don’t get me wrong, sapphire 3 is amazing (please see sapphire 3, book for review) however we are both really glad we decided to spend a couple of nights here at Sargas. The views of course are amazing, especially from the pool! Also at night
Turn all the lights off and you have the most amazing view of Soufriere at night.

As far as what we did in Soufriere. We did  not do as much while we were here at Sargas more while at Sapphire 3. However the walk into town is only 10-15 minutes to get to the main street.

Before I end, I must say Janus and his time have been amazing. Very professional & courteous 
I really hope whoever is reading this is loving Sargas as much as we did!

P.S – We did do the private chef one night and totally worth it! 

We had an awesome two days here. We came from the St. James Resort near Castries and from there we took a tour which covered mud baths, the volcano, and the waterfall. So while staying at Sapphire we relaxed and did the Botanical Gardens.

I highly recommend using Janus car service. They are really quick. Jamal the driver was awesome.
​
Hummingbird beach and the beach club was a lot of fun. Highly recommend eating and drinking at the rum bar there. Martin was an awesome bartender.

Enjoy!!!

May 5-12, 2019

What a fantastic week. There is so much to do around Soufriere that we decided not to venture more than 30 minutes away in any direction.

Highlights

• En Bas Saut Trail- we decided to take on Jefferson as our guide after he jumped off an ATV down hill and chased our car. Very enterprising 18 year old. He convinced us we weren’t too old to try a tarsan swing
• Gros Piton- you need to be fit for this trail. Our guide was lovely and slow o it was no problem. Bring a hiking pole if you have one
• Diamond Gardens – very relaxing and lovely for 1 hour- skip the mineral bath.
• New Jerusalem mineral baths – this was perfect (instead of Torille waterfall) There were only 2 others at New Jerusalem- would feel crowded if a tour bus showed up.
• Piton Falls and mineral baths- also perfect after a hike and is slow season with only a few others around
• Anse Chastanet – Kayak St. Lucia very professional tour.

 
Beaches

• Anse Mamin #1- we didn’t even go to Sugar beach as it sounds very resort dominated and the sand is imported
• Anse Chastanet – also great for diving and they have lockers for rent and non resort bathrooms. We just lay our towels down at the end of the beach
• Diving-

Tried both options and both world class

-Chester at Action Adventure at Soufriere Beach is a local guy running his own shop. We went back to the apartment with 3 lion fish that he speared.

Anse Chastanet Dive St. Lucia- very professional, great customer service, reef in wonderful condition- 5 star pad resort diving experience.

• Food- eroline has the best Basics.
• Bakery across is nice
• Fedos for a local meal is perfect.
• Zaka’s art – coffee and ice coffee
• Rubys was closed and reopening under a new name
• Orlandos- was lovely for a fancy dinner, they had live Jazz on Thursdays.

Saturday market- so much fruit and vegetables. Try the little red plums and regarding lime they were really hard to find this time of year. We asked a vendor and he slowly, reluctantly agreed to sell us a few hidden in his truck, harder than buying weed!!
​
Lastly, thank you Janus and staff for the bread and fruit and basic supplies since our flight was so late. First Class Host!!!

We feel so lucky to have found this gem and to be the second guest at this villa. The Saba villa was paradise, the views are unbelievable.

The windows in every room really help you appreciate the view. Janus was a pleasure from booking the villa to up to the very last day. He answered any of our questions along the way as well as assisted us in setting up tours.

​Our first day at Saba we went to the local food market and bought some food we could easily make such as egg, bacon, cheese, bread, hamburgers etc.

Day 2- we decided to go on the ATV tour through the rain forest. Best time ever! We were able to see the beautiful landscape on this tour. We also took some great pictures by Mt. Gimme.

Day 3 – We started our tour at Tet PAUL NATURE TRAIL. This is a must. The views of the island were incredible. We also got to learn about the farm life in St. Lucia, which was very interesting. Bring sneakers for this trail. We then went to Sulphur Springs. Jamal our driver did a wonderful job explaining to us what to do.He then helped place the black mud on us and designed our bodies with mud to take really cool pictures. Lastly we went to torille waterfall. Jamal took some really good pictures of us 😊

Now we are just enjoying this villa and taking in this view before we leave, Janus, this house is breathtaking. We had a wonderful stay at this villa with great service. We look forward to coming back again.
