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

We really enjoyed our stay in Soufriere – The Apartment is very clean and comfortable, and Janus and his team are very welcoming and helpful. We can’t really add to much and the great tips in here but here are the few additional bits of information:

1. Water Taxi to Anse Chastanet – we asked someone at the main jetty who called a local - his brother Rudy came with the boat. We paid E.C $100.00 for the return trip. It was worth it. The Beaches are beautiful. Especially Anse Mamin.
2. Malgretoute: it’s on the road to Sugar Beach. Lovely quiet beach, great snorkeling no facilities.
3. Enbas Saut Trail: This is a lovely rainforest walk leading down to a waterfall, where you can bathe.

You really need a 4wd for the trail stretch of the road. We paid E.C$25 per person to walk the trail. We didn’t have a guide. Keep an eye out for the crabs!

Our stay overall was very enjoyable. Nice clean apartment. Janus and Fabian were great! Very helpful, when we needed a jump (our car died) and requested to stay an hour longer to get packed up and out.
