Never written one of these before, and I guess the tough part about being helpful is recognizing that everyone has a different idea of what an ideal vacation looks like. I’ll try to explain why Henry’s La Panache exceeded that vision for me and my boyfriend. The guesthouses are tucked away on a lush hillside that is beautifully maintained by... More

Having returned to holiday destinations before now, theres always a doubt as to whether you can reproduce the holiday of a lifetime by staying in the same place. Having returned from La Panache last week I can happily confirm paradise just gets better. Being welcomed back by Henry was like visiting family. The guest house develops on each return but... More

I stayed in the studio apartment called Sonya, and it was just wonderful. The room is cosy and it has a kitchen, a bedroom, a bathroom with a shower and, best of all, a nice balcony with a beautiful view where you can watch amazing Caribbean sunsets. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and there's free internet available. If... More

La Panache is in a great situation if you don't mind walking a bit and like living amongst the locals, rather than the tourists. We have done a lot of backpacking but never before in the Carribean. It worked out fine, the buses were very cheap and easy to use, although we were advised to use taxis at night. La... More

This small guesthouse is a real gem. Close enough to walk to Rodney Bay Marina and yet very secluded and private - just a few ghekkos and humming birds to interrupt the stunning view of the bay and mountains from your verandah. A real taste and feel of the Caribbean. Roger and Henry and the rest of their team are... More

Having stayed all over the Caribbean on numerous occassions I wanted to experience the 'real' St Lucia. I definately found that at Henry's La Panache. The guesthouse is set amounst glorious views and vegetation in a friendly, local atmosphere. The room was spacious and comfortable with all necessities catered for. We were really made to feel at home and be... More

My fiancee and I recently spent a week at Henry's La Panache guesthouse in Gros Islet. We paid a very reasonable $40/day (low season, weekly rate) for a nice furnished two-bedroom apartment, with fully equipped kitchen, bathroom and a lovely balcony with a great view over Gros Islet. No aircon (just fans), hot showers or a swimming pool, but for... More

We stayed elsewhere, but thankfully someone recommended Henry's cooking. Once a week or so they put together a wonderful Carribean meal. Very casual and fun. A great find. More

the only good thing about this place is that it's US$45 a night, but that is during the low season, so probably a bit more during high season. the room had no ventilation, no light, and certainly no view. It sleeps 4 with one bath (i wouldn't walk in there without flip-flops) has kitchen facilities, a small fridge, and 2... More
