"Clean room with large bed, peaceful nature surroundings, friendly owner and staff, and lovely breakfast in the morning"
Showering was a bit tough because you have to hold it. Would be nice if it was hanging up instead.

"The traditional things were awesome! I liked the private pool due to that privacy."
Some of the service providers attitude especially at the front desk in the kitchen. The lady was not kind at all and she behaved in haughty manner, just to hand over a bill. When I took dinner I asked for the bill with the man but it didn’t come, in the following morning I had to check out. I went to the reception in the morning and said I have a bill. The lady at the reception called to ask for my bill and it didn’t come. I went back in my room to take my luggage then the lady in the kitchen wanted me to handle the bill I couldn’t I had things in all my hands then I asked my daughter to take the bill! I found this attitude really insulting to me. Real lack of respect! Anyway…

"It is a big camping site. Clean and beautiful chalets, good activities to do around. Staff and emergency number were prompt and helpful."
Heating water in shower/kitchen issue was there, delayed our departure. Salt and pepper were not there, more coffee/tea/sugar etc would be better.

"it is just such a beautiful and unique property in a very picturesque location. they said there was a “continental” breakfast, but it was very diverse and excellently prepared"
The rooms were a little small. But that’s to be expected in this type of an accommodation.

"The view: wow. Believe me when I say it’s even more stunning in person than in the photos. The pictures don’t do it justice at all. It’s that breathtaking. The room was cozy, the staff were incredibly friendly and kind, and the location had a nice, peaceful vibe. It was a great and fun stay overall."
The only small downsides: the room could really use a mini fridge to keep water cold during the summer, and a full-length mirror would be a great addition. But aside from that, everything was fantastic.

"Ingrid always prepared delicious breakfasts. I was there for 9 days and loved the variety. I also appreciated and enjoyed the extras of fresh bottled fruit juices, the chance to experience a meal of oil down, the national dish, and a barbecue prepared fresh1 The pool is wonderful.It was also fun to be invited to add some art to the walls of the dining area!!"
Perhaps in the rooms with windows facing the afternoon sun there could be a roll down blind as it got quite hot in the room despite the fan.

"Breakfast was good and dinner even better. The location was perfect and so were the mountain views from our rooms! Hospitality was excellent, the receptionists came with their car to escort us to the hotel and back outside near the police station. Both chefs/waiters assisted us by allowing us to use their mobile phones since we did not have any SIM cards to make calls. At dinner, we were given complimentary dessert and even complimentary delicious ice cream whilst waiting for our taxi."

"The room was more better than we expected. It was clean and very back to basic as we wanted. When you walk out you are straight in the outdoors where you can go on a walking safari or hike to the execution rock as we did, what was stunning!"
The restaurant only offered buffet dinners and breakfast during our stay. We weren't that hungry and felt forced to eat there which was a bit disappointing.

"In general all were super. My family and I spent a good time in this fabulous place!"
1. There was no Iron in the room (it is written in the room facilities) 2. Noisy neighbours (they celebrated birthday and used equipment for loud music and jumped in the pool)

Que no todas las habitaciones tienen agua caliente. Pero ya lo está solucionando

"Unique stay at a unique location - with all-around friendly and welcoming staff. Would do it again :-) Such a cute little house we had - and amazing delivered to door breakfast in the morning. We also ordered some meat to prepare ourselves a barbecue one night and absolutely loved it :-)"
Mosquitos everywhere - but nothing the location can do about that :) and the pool was quite far away from our little house, but absolutely manageable.

"I always feel so safe when I stay here. The staff is always available for all your needs. Jennifer even washed our clothes for us. The owner is very professional and always makes sure our stay is comfortable. There is a hugh shopping center right down the street that has everything you could need. The price is great for how big the apartment is."

"Allejandro is amazing, as is the location. He upgraded us to the romantic and secluded treehouse where we could hear the river, it was lovely. Very private but still easy to get places with a rental car."
There was no wifi at all (which for some might be a bonus, but we needed it and had to pay for lots of extra data as a result). In addition, and this again does not apply to all travelers, there were no converters or outlets for 120V so we were unable to charge our phones). This seems like an easy fix.

"Cozy, immaculate cottage with a great view. Fabulous hosts who were very accommodating. Great location in the middle of Castries and Rodney Bay. Short walk to the beach."
Construction work going on next door but that was not the owners fault.

"We loved how close it is to nature — the view is stunning and the interiors are beautifully designed. The atmosphere feels so natural and relaxing. The staff were very helpful, especially the caretakers assigned near our room who were always attentive and kind. We also loved the common area in the middle of the property, which has a nice seating space. My daughter really enjoyed the toys and activity games available for free use."
The bathroom, particularly the toilet area, is quite outdated. For me, it feels unhygienic since its design as old and also no bidet for washing. It also had an unpleasant smell, likely because of its condition.

"We truly enjoyed the dedicated and genuine hospitality of the entire staff and the beautifully lay out of the property, made one feel not only so welcome, but relaxed by knowing one would be taking good care of. The well equipped rooms in the form of a safari camp made the stay feel like one was participating in a updated version of the legendary book Out of Africa, comfortable and yet even cozy one may say. And then to top it all, we were thrilled by the way the drives were expertly arranged to maximized the day (that somehow always flew by) with such a friendly and knowledgeable driver (we got Dennis) who not only was absolutely great with the making the search for wildlife a memorable experience, but also created a safe environment for us to relax and enjoy the admirable natural beauty of Kenya's Masai Mara!"
Leaving for sure, was the main thing we did not like, However, we encountered discrepancies between the meals that were offered in the neatly described menus and the food items that were served. Somehow there was a disconnect in communication somewhere that made the gracious wait staff seem not to be aware and only noticed it after after it was brought to their attention. The items that were missing at the different meals (this happened more than once) were eventually addressed, yet such a discrepancy or lapse in service, really felt out of place when compared to the overall attentive experience we received throughout our stay.

"The location and view into the mountains are beautiful and amazingly relaxing. The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. The fireplace in the room is fantastic and is efficient. The food is really good and tasty."
Gardens and information signs in the gardens need serious attention.
