"Has been amazing since the moment I clicked reserved on Airbnb....We wish we could stay here forever! "

11/2/2016

 
First off, Janus has been amazing since the moment I clicked reserved on Airbnb. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Eating: We made breakfast here every day because it’s the off-season and nothing is open. Restaurants close early (8:00pm).
Soufriere Area
​
Pitit Peak: Good food, nice location and good service.
Hamming bird: Not where google map says. Food was ok but not worth the cost. Nice view but slow service.

Boucan by Hotel Chocolat: Seriously thinking of coming back solely for their food. I’m not a fan of chocolate so I wasn’t excited, but the food blew me away. Worth every penny. Go before sunset as the restaurant will have a perfect view over the pitons. Service was great and there’s honestly not a bad thing to say.

Pier 28: Americanized menu, slow service (1 ½ hour) and orders were off. Food was so-so.
Anse Chastanet Beach Bar: $50.00 for a burger, roti and a soda. It was good but not $50.00 good.

Castries Area

Cheff Robby’s: Great view, food and service, prices were decent to.
Reduit Beach Bar: (Bar by inflatable obstacles): Ok food, slow service, great view.
 
Our first day we went to Castries. Roads are crazy!  But drivable. We hit up the duty-free shops. Not really, much there in way of tourism but a huge city. The market looked neat but we did not have the time to stop.

We did Sulphur Springs, Botanical Gardens and Volcano Baths
​
Garden Springs: About $38 for 2 people. Pretty and relaxing, Flowers we not in season but I’d still recommend.
​Volcano Bath: Smell is terrible, but amazing experience , definitely worth checking both out.
Gros-Islet

Wit-Bit Aquatic Park: U.S $13 per person for 1 hr, more than enough time and seriously fun for all. We quickly found children can manage it better. We’re both military and struggle but it was a blast. Comparable to the show ‘WIPE OUT’ definitely would go again.

Pigeon Island: Very Nice. U.S $7.00 and a very quiet walk that ends with and incredible view that extends to Martinique,. Quiet, private beach and history and jumped in. Definitely worth a trip.

Rodney Bay Mall: Very Large compared to the other shopping areas. A lot of more American restaurants and a few duty free stores

Gros Piton: U.S $35.00 per person. Hydrate. Pay  before and bring at least 2 bottles of cold water. Tough but definitely worth the view.
 
Beaches
Anse Chastanet -Rocky beach but easy to get to by car! Just a dicey road, Pay attention for other drivers. We rented snorkeling gear (U.S $22.00 for both) and we weren’t disappointed. Very calm waters and probably my favorite.

Sugar Beach – about a 10 minute walk from an incredibly ridiculous hill for a ‘white’ sandy beach to pay U.S $50.00 for 1 beach chair that we didn’t use. Water was nice and sand was better than the rocks. We found out after we paid for the chairs that there were complementary ones to the right by the rental shop. You can get a ride back up the hill on the ‘trolley’.

Reduit Beach – Busy beach but very calm and nice. Only down side was no rinse off station. There was a lot of water activities offered. Clear sandy water.
Water Taxi – we used ‘feel good’ our last day. The water was rough and it didn’t make for a good snorkeling day. About U.S $160.00, good experience.
​
I hope you find our notes helpful! We wish we could stay here forever! This has been one of the best experience ever!
​We recommend downloading directions on your phone, but after a few times driving you shouldn’t need it.

Have fun!!
Ricky & Bethany
P.S – Thanks again for everything Janus!

    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.
