Tranquil and delightfully quiet traditional yet modern appointed thatched chalets in neat tropical grounds. Wonderful planting. Lovely reception with cool drinks and lovely staff. Gorgeous and well lit interiors. No hot water on our first night which i meant to mention to the staff but forgot. Plenty in the morning however. Very nice breakfast. Check out is at 10am which is on the early side and there are strict warnings in the book saying that a charge of another night will be made if this is passed which seemed a little unfriendly.

A lovely and luxurious oasis
With individual, luxurious huts situated in a lush garden, Lodge Afrique felt like a luxurious resort at a rate I could afford. The breakfasts were delicious and the staff very helpful and friendly. It was a lovely oasis - I hardly wanted to leave to explore St. Lucia and the surrounding parks!

Very disappointing
First off, I can see why most people would be pleased with this property. It is nice looking, secure, and walkable to town. The rooms are also pleasant. However, I had a significant problem with management during my stay. On Night #1: 1) The air conditioning remote was broken and therefore we had no A/C. We did not learn this until after the hotel office closed (around 7pm?). It was between 25C and 30C in our room all night. 2) There were bats flying around our room all night. Hitting us in the face, bouncing from wall to wall. Management's response after Night #1: 1) We fixed the air conditioning remote today, you will be fine. 2) "Oh wow...you are so lucky you had endangered bats flying around your room! No we can't change your room because we are full" Night #2 1) The air conditioning was "on" but blowing 25C to 30C air. It was set to 17C for 20 hours. No amount of playing with it would making anything cooler come out. It was hotter inside our room than outside our room. 2) The bats made a brief visit again. Management's response after Night #2: 1) "Oh you must be wrong. We checked the A/C while you were out to dinner and your room was ice cold" (I do not like being accused of lying. It was not ice cold for the entire 20 hours it was on. I find it quite hard to believe our room was ice cold for the two hours we were at dinner) 2) I didn't even have the heart to bring up the bats again. For $120 USD/night in South Africa, I expect an air conditioned & bat-free room.

Great!
Lovely rondavels, great staff, excellent home baked treats for breakfast and much more. The cats - Mackenzie, Aiden and Lily - and tortoises were an added bonus. Beautifully maintained grounds and well decorated rooms. Would love to go back.

Hôtel très agréable, belle décoration et excellent petit déjeuner. Les bungalows sont dans un beau jardin. La propriétaire donne de bons conseils sur ce qu'il y a à voir dans les environs de St Lucie. Plusieurs restaurants dans la rue principale de St Lucie. Nous avons eu la chance de voir les hippos se balader en ville dès notre premier soir. Impressionnant! Nous étions contents d'être en voiture!

Optimale Unterkunft in St Lucia
Chefin ging flexibel u sehr unkompliziert auf unseren Wunsch ein, ein Zimmer weiter entfernt von der Frühstücksterasse zu bekommen. Zimmer und Anlage sind traumhaft gestaltet und exzellent gewartet. Frühstück sehr gepflegt und frisch, Mitarbeiter ausnehmend freundlich u engagiert. Vollste Punktzahl im Rating. Beste Location dieses Urlaubs.
