We had a fantastic time in St. Lucia! I can't say enough amazing things about the views from the house, the drivers Ernest and Ollie (sp?) and the overall experience throughout the week. We enjoyed the rainforest adventure, the volcano, mud baths, waterfalls, SNUBA and throughout all of it Ernest was informative, friendly and just WAY above and beyond anything we would have imagined. Paul was also very helpful and attentive to our needs. The beds were comfy and the a/c in the bedrooms was a MUST for us. Be aware that there are no screens and there are mosquitos so spray up! The only reason I am removing one star is that there was very little in the kitchen in you wanted to cook your own meals and that the house was in need of quite a few repairs. Curtain rods were down, furniture was taped together, railings were showing rot but we didn't expect perfect for the price and it's an island home so not really a big deal! I am a seasoned cook so I made it work and thanks to Ernest, we found some AMAZING local restaurants! Just be aware that you will need to bring everything with you if you intend to cook, i.e. ALL spices, seasonings, etc. You may need additional pans as well, depending on what you want to make but again, not anything you can't work around! We would go back again in a heartbeat. Best vacation we've ever taken by far!!!
