Derek & Elissa (Boston, Ma, USA)
Booked Sapphire 4 for our honeymoon, we stayed 6 days and are now headed to a resort up north for the reminder of our trip. Some highlighted things we did during our time here. 1. Mud Baths/Volcano- US$15PP for combo. We got a guide but she wasn’t the best, could potentially do without one but was more interesting to hear the details. 2. Hummingbird beach/Soufriere Beach Park-great spot close by if you are looking for a beach for only a short period. You can stay all day if you like. There are just SO many great beaches! 3. Sunset tour with mystic man- US$66PP, the best adventure experience we did during our time here. Stunning 4. Mineral baths / Botanical Gardens- US$15PP, very beautiful, water was hot! 5. Jade Mountain restaurant- went for a birthday lunch, amazing view. Splurge of course but this was our one ‘’Fancy meal here’’ 6. Anse Chastanet- took water taxi for US$50 and spent the day. Had lunch at the restaurant there. A bit over priced but drinks were delish. 7. Janus taking us to Saba Villa. Speechless. We know where we will be booking next time!!! Lots of advice. Lock your door while driving, we had a man jump in the back seat attempted to give us unwanted directions and then asked for money – rude! Overall, great stay! Thank you a million times Janus. You are an excellent Airbnb host ! 5 stars Ice coffee @ Zaka’s Valelse- staff is so nice! Pier 28 – very yummy Pitit Peak- not our favorite but not bad. Robin and Heather from England
12th Feb - 1st March 2019 17 beautiful nights in St Lucia. Sapphire 4 has been a great place to stay and Janus is one in a million. Very keen to please and so friendly too. We hired a car (from Janus' recommendation) and used it to see all of the island. The driving is interesting but the views are stunning. In Soufriere we can recommend the following: 1. Lunch at Anse Chastenet. A total treat and well worth the cost. Book in advance. Public beach there too. Treetop restaurant at Jade Mountain has the best view on the island, and lovely food too!! 2. Boucan Restaurant at Hotel Chocolat, Rabot Estate. 70% liquid chocolate is delicious. Book the "from pod to bean" tour and get the chance to grate your own cocoa tree. 3. Zaka's Art Cafe. Owned by a very friendly couple. Mango smoothies and real coffee recommended as well as the interesting art work. 4. Watching both the sunrise and sunset from the balcony. 5.Refreshing rain showers which usually last for a short period. 6. Cheap decent lunches at Fedo's and Deja Vu. We enjoyed out trip north to Rodney Bay and also the cross island route to Dennery. Distances are short but take longer than you would imagine because of hills and bends. Janus never sells anything so don't be taken in by anyone else. Deliveries of bread and fruit much appreciated. P.S Tet Paul Trail is amazing at 8a.m. |
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. Archives
