A clean and nice hotel in a cool location by the harbour. The hotel doesn't have much of a soul but there isn't much to complain about. Our second stay there. The swimming pool can get quite cool in autumn but it's nice and rather large. Be aware that when the wind blows the sailboats in the harbour turn into whistling sirens and can get quite loud but it allows you imagining spending a night out in the sea without beeing sea sick! 😃

Our stay at this hotel was truly wonderful! We spent 3 nights here and everything exceeded our expectations. The building is elegant, the service impeccable, and when we first entered our room we were welcomed by the soothing scent of lavender—it immediately made us feel cared for. Cleanliness was outstanding, which was especially important to us since we were traveling with our cat. The location, right in Port Saint Lucia, is perfect: surrounded by restaurants, shops, and unforgettable sunsets. The beach and city center are just a pleasant 15-minute walk along the sea promenade. I highly recommend this hotel and we will definitely be returning!

Stayed one night in a single but very spacious room. Very comfortable with good amenities. Used the sauna. All clean. Good staff. Supper and breakfast were delicious. Good location a little out of town.
