Sapphire 3: Reviews From Those Who’ve Lived, Shopped, Explored & Dined in St. Lucia

Janus, We truly loved our stay! It was the best St. Lucia Airbnb experience we have ever had. Your hospitality and communication were much appreciated. We would stay with you again in a heartbeat!

We drove here after spending 3 days in the north. A few of our favorite places: 

Food

• Paunty Pizza: a bit of a hidden gem. Great pizza + beer. Varied music + chill locals. 
• Aries Local Cuisine: great food and Juice. Right next to Diamond Waterfalls + Botanical Grden $80.00 Ec 2 persons (Buffett)
• Beacon: great views. Good food. Server sang a beautiful rendition of “Happy Birthday” $70.00 Ec for 2 people Buffet. 

Things to do

• Anse Chastanet – snorkeling is great – they take you to the base of the Petit Piton. $115.00 Ec for 45 minutes of snorkeling + price includes gear. The beach is beautiful – free to stay on, but the loungers cost $11 USD per seat. Definitely drive or cab there if you can. Bumpy, steep, difficult roads. Try to find Jungle + Meno from Scuba St. Lucia – if you catch them when they aren’t busy, they might be willing to take you on a quick 30 minute boat tour with views of the pitons, beaches, the bat cave, maybe even turtles if you’re lucky! We gave them 100 EC Each, they are great company. (This was under the table, not booked through scuba St. Lucia). 
• Tet Paul Nature Trail: Amazing views, you can see both petit + Gros Piton at the same time. easy to moderate, 30-45 minute hike. Locals are nice + many will try to sell you something or offer you helpful tips for a few EC. Some will try to take advantage, so be careful. For example, if someone offers to help you park or watch your car in exchange for EC. A lot of the locals know what rentals cars look like + will try to flag you down. But many will also smile + wave as you drive by. We rented our car thru the place Janus Recommend + really maximized how much we saw + did each day. Thank you, Janus!

My husband & I had very nice time here @ St. Lucia. We liked the villa apartment very much, it was a home away from home. Janus was very hospitable and wanted to make our stay here was comfortable. It definitely was an adventure, especially the driving. 

Places we visited were the Diamond Waterfalls + Botanical Gardens. Sugar Beach was very beautiful but a very long walk down – unless you take a taxi.

We also did the Sulfur bath. Something different that we wanted to try. Pigeon Island was also very nice especially the beach next to the national park.

Janus recommended a local restaurant “Fedo’s only about 5 minutes away. Food was fresh and fast service. They close at 5 pm daily so best to get there early.

People are very friendly and very helpful when it came to directions. Other places we visited were Marigot Bay + Marina – beach and restaurants really good.

​Gros Islet is a definite place to go.  Lively at night and on weekends. Music was great. Atmosphere party type. Overall it was a great experience. Vacation is over for now.  Until next time. Farewell Soufriere!
