It was our Honeymoon (we come from Paris) St Lucia is the perfect spot for such an occasion. We were off the Kruger Park and already experienced a luxury lodge safari theme style. So we wanted something different and found out Serene. The place is absolutely fabulous, we had the gigantic Blue Room, all modern, the furniture are all made... More

This beautiful house offers luxurious and spacious rooms, alle connect to a swimming pool that looks over the park. In the morning a nice breakfast is served and the Dutch couple (owners) is more than willing to help to make the most out of your stay. An absolute recommendation!

Not only the beautiful architecture of the house and garden makes you oh and ah, but also the perfect service. Olga and Hans, as well as Jacky, the manager, were extremely nice and helped us with all our questions. The... More

This guest house is among many tucked away on the back streets of St Lucia. The photos of the place are terrific conjuring up an image of a very modern bright structure with lots of light. We arrived into a well lit reception area beautifully decorated with charming staff. However, when we were shown our room, we were very disappointed.... More

Comment on review: As owner/manager, it is always difficult to have a discussion with anonymous guests regarding a negative experience, sent to Tripadvisor. Via internet, we finally have traced the guests, coming from the US and as couple they have stayed with us for 2 nights in July 2012, mid-winter. First of all, we haven’t received any complaints or negative... More
