The only unfortunate thing about our stay at Serrana Villa was that we could only stay for one night. It was our first day we arrived in St Lucia & it was my beloved's 40th birthday. Janus coordinated a very nice car to pick us up from the airport & we got dropped off at the Viceroy Sugar Beach Hotel to enjoy the Jungle Spa while we waited for check-in. The spa was incredible. A must fro romantics seeking a bit of Rn'R. Our bags were brought to the house & Janus coordinated another pick up for us. We met him back at the house and he found us admiring all the beautiful fruit trees on the property. He invited us to come check out his other properties and new construction. It was very cool to see the bts' of his vacation villa concepts. I surprised my love with the private chef that evening for dinner who was phenomenal! He even made a special cake which was the cherry on top of a magical first night in stunning St Lucia. We couldn't have asked for a better host or a better experience here. We will be back and hope to stay in one of Janus' new villas! Tips 1)Hire the chef! 2)Go to the Sugar Beach spa ($300 for couples massage) 3)Pick fruit from the trees ( ask Janus about the cocoa) 4)Skinny dip in the pool XX I hope you enjoy your stay! We certainly did. -Shelby & Joe We have loved our time in St Lucia. We stayed north of the island for the first two days and PIgeon Island was definitely worth a visit. The south is where it's at though! We began our south stay in Sapphire 3 but I asked for our last night and my birthday be spent at Serrana which Janus made happen, no problem! Walk around town, it's beautiful. Snorkel Sugar Beach! Literally do everything others have suggested, it's all great! We didn't rent a car but Jermal picked us up and took us anywhere we needed to go! It was great! Sorry for sloppy writing but I want to drink more rum by the pool! Fedos & waterfront De Bellvue are great places to eat. We did hike Gros Piton which was HARD but so worth it! We love Janus and his team, shout out to Jermal for being the best! Have fun, travel Everywhere! Devin & Justin Austin, TX Instagram: @rabas4 @devin_elysia Serrana Villa- such a slice of heaven! We came to Seranna from the northern part of the island after staying in a resort and we have absolutely LOVED our time at Serrana as it has allowed us to truly experience St. Lucia. Highlights of our stay: .Coffee & breakfast at Serrana while taking in the magnificent view. .Sugar Beach-we parked at the top of the hill outside the gate and walked down to the public side of the beach. Gergeous beach!! We spent 4 hours there sunbathing, walking the beach, swimming & snorkeling (rent for US$10). We had a delicious lunch at the beachside restaurant. We saved our receipt from lunch to catch a free shuttle back up the hill to our car (paid the parking attendant $20ECD). .Anse Mamin- we arrived at Anse Chastenet at 8:45am to catch a 9:00am boat from the scuba center to Anse Mamin. It is so secluded, peaceful & beautiful. We paid $12USD each for a large chair & put towels on our chair to reserve while we went off & did our Jungle Biking excursion. We cannot recommend Jungle Biking enough!!! We had a blast! We paid $130USD total for the two of us but it includes the boat ride to Anse Mamin, cannondale bikes, helmaets and a guide to take you through the trails before letting you loose and riding as long as you like. After biking, we changed into our suits and enjoyed the beach! Beachside Grill at Anse Mamin- our favorite lunch yet! A must! .Tet Paul Nature Trail- stunning views & only took us about 30 minutes. We were there around 2:30pm & luckily there wereonly a few other people there at the time. I imagine it can get crowded. .Poolside at Serrana- we loved lounging by & in the pool in the afternoons. Very peaceful! .Dasheene Restaurant at Ladera Resort- What an experience this was! The views and food can't be beat! Get there at 5:00 for cocktails and appetizers (which they pass around) and enjoy the view. At 6:00 they begin seating people for dinner, so be sure to make a 6:00 reservation so you don't miss the sunset. Janus arranged for Fabian to drive us to and from dinner and Fabian was excellent. Very professional and courteous. Thank you Fabian! We are sad to leave Serrana today. Janus, thank you for a truly unforgettable stay! You have been extremely accomodating & helpful (we loved the Netflix:) ) and we hope to be back again one day. Crolyn & Will Driscoll Saratoga Springs, NY After reading all the previous and informative entries, we didn't think we could add to the restaurant reviews or activity reviews. They are quite comprehensive.
We would like to compliment you on your venture: Serrana Villa. Excellent! Thank you also for the tours of Sargas and Saba, both amazing properties. They carry your signature of excellence. Sometimes while in the Caribbean there is a time constraint to get everything done (beaches, tours,culture etc) but at Serrana, the villa is so comfortable it is easy to just realx, jump in the pool and enjoy cocktails on the deck. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will recommend your properties to an aquaintance with virtuoso. RB Gardiner Susie Hill *Helena, Mt *Leaving St Lucia in the 80's and returning home to minus 10 |
