SERRANA VILLA JOURNAL

​Explore all the Trailblazers. They’ll put you on the right path.  

This villa was the absolute perfect slice of paradise for our honeymoon. We had the greatest time, and three weeks flew by just way to fast! Thanks again Janus!

2/5/2017

 
​Thank you, Janus, for being an amazing host! The abundance of fresh grapefruits and fresh local bread was one of the best parts of our trip! Serrana Villa made the absolute perfect place for our honeymoon, and we had so much fun exploring Soufriere during the last three weeks. Here were a few of our favorite things to do + places to eat. 
Things to do/see
  • Tet Paul Nature Trail – Beautiful easy walk. Only takes like 30-45 minutes and has super beautiful views. 
  • Diamond Botanical Gardens/Falls – easy walk there from the villa. Beautiful flowers and nature, worth a visit. 
  • Saturday Morning Market – This is the best place to get some of the local produce. Market is between whispers and cemetery. Be there early! (like 7:30) because they run out quick. 
  • Sugar Beach – Nice snorkeling, nice beach. Need to get something at the restaurant so you can get their free shuttle up. Be there early (by 9:30) if you want to get a chair on the free side of the beach, otherwise all the boats from cruises all start rolling in. 
  • Mystic Man Sunset Cruise – Cost 360ec for two people but it was really fun! Delicious rum punch haha. It includes all alcohol and some finger foods. 
  • Anse Chastanet/Mamin – we got one of Janus’s driver’s to take us there because it was cheaper than a water taxi, but the road is pretty sketchy. Walked to Anse Mamin (10 min walk north of anse chastanet) water was a lot more wavey than sugar beach but still nice. Super Delicious burger at Anse Mamin! 
  • L’essence Soufriere – if you are lucky enough to be here on the last Saturday of the month, this is a mus. A big street party of the waterfront with music + food and drinks and so much fun! Last Saturday of the month. Don’t go before 7pm. 
  • Volcano+Sulphur/mud bath: really fun. We went at 5pm and it was really nice. The baths are actually quite hot, so it was nice to go in the evening when it was a bit cooler out. So much fun covering ourselves with mud. 
  • Gros Piton Hike: kicked our asses but was well worth it! We started around 8am. I definitely would not recommend going later. The heat would have made it so much harder. You get a guide when you pay your admission and they go all the way up with you. Took us about 3.5 hours round trip. Apparently average is 4 hours. 
Restaurants
  • Fedo’s – close by only open for lunch. Call in the morning and order wht you want because they run out. 
  • Happy – Good place for some easy food to bring home on the way into town, near the soccer field. 
  • Whispers – has a big barbecue on Friday nights. Tasty meat and super cheap. Also, best burger in town for sure! 
  • Dasheen: Definitely $$ but worth the money. Beautiful view and the food was super tasty. 
  • SA Nov Iration – Vegetarian food truck down on the water front. So delicious and cheap! Only problem is she only seems to start serving food around 11 or noon, but if you are down there definitely try it out! 
  • Pouty’s Pizza – This was our fvorite little hungout. It’s a teeny little bar on bridge street, right across from the cemetery. Bartender’s name is Chrisa and she is super nice. Also, on Friday + Saturday nights they make pizza and it is so so so good. Best food we had the whole time we were here! 
  • Ruby’s  - Was ok. Decently close which is nice, but we felt like it was pretty expensive for what it was. Pouty’s Pizza was way better. 
  • Purity Bakery – Near grocery store. Coconut bread/cake is super tasty. 
  • Pier 28 – good food, decent prices, right near waterfront. 
The most important thing that we cannot emphasize enough is go into town and explore!! Don’t be intimidated by the walk or anything, even at night it is always find and we never felt unsafe! That was the best part of our trip was getting to know the locals and getting familiar with the area. And it’s only about a 15-20 min walk from the villa all the way down to the waterfront. 

*also, side note, if you need cash, there is a CIBC near excelsior plaza. Their TM works with our debit card. The Bank of St. Lucia ATMs didn’t work for us. 

If you are looking for Souvenirs there is a little place called lifestyles with some decent stuff. And right next door to lifestyles there is a lady who also sells some souvenirs if you are looking for soaps or spices or small things, she’s your lady. Her stuff is way cheaper.

This villa was the absolute perfect slice of paradise for our honeymoon. We had the greatest time, and three weeks flew by just way to fast! Thanks again Janus! Wishing you and your family all the best! Future guests, we hope you love it as much as we did!

    WEATHER IN SAINT LUCIA
    ​While most places in the world have four well-defined seasons, its proximity to the equator means that this is not really the case for the island of St. Lucia.
