Castries Waterworks Forest Reserve Vacations from $1,206

Excellent location. 45 minutes transfer from UVF International Airport. 15 minutes drive to Soufrière town, Gros Pitón, Sugar Beach, Sulphur Springs. 25 minutes drive to a must see Anse Chastanet beach. Accommodation. I stayed in a hilltop shabby chic style cottage with a plunge in pool. It’s all you need and more - a deck with two lounge chairs and a couch complimented by a stunning rainforest view. The chic is getting a tard shabby - I hope the resort will renovate at some point. I don’t recall I’ve seen the plunge in pool being cleaned. The hilltop is windy and drops foliage into it - hard to catch up with cleaning, however, if the cottage was equipped with pool skimmer net, it would be helpful. Amenities - very well maintained. Beautiful territory-you don’t need a tour to Diamond Botanical Gardens, you stay in one. Customer service. Exceptional. Special thanks to the Front Desk ladies - Feresia and Albertha - for answering my numerous questions, booking all my tours and island transportation, including airport transfer. Practical tips. Standard power outlet is type G, 3-pin rectangular plug. Bring adopters if you are a non-UK visitor. Tropical rainforest comes with mosquitoes and symphony orchestra of nocturnal creatures. Mosquitoes are supposedly active at dusk and dawn. My experience- they are active 24/7. Do not step out without repellent on. Use bed mosquito screen. Bring plug in mosquito traps and after bite ointment. Check your end-tables for ear plugs, unles

Excellent staff! The property was clean and well maintained. There were always plenty of lounge chairs available and plenty of space in all the pools. The sargassum was bad but the resort arranged for transportation to a clear beach about 10 minutes away. I usually feel all inclusive food is just ok, not here. The food was great. Nice strong pours of premium liquor. If you're looking for a smaller, more relaxed resort, this is for you. The Caribbean and Cowboy theme nights were so much fun. Check the daily activity screen each morning so you don't miss anything.

Loved the workers and excursions they offer!

This property is advertised as all inclusive. It should really be advertised as food and beverage included. We arrived early and they were helpful to have the room ready with a toddler but no activities for kids other than kids club and since they had no kids mine refused to stay. There were only 3 restaurants and they were never opened at the same time. Breakfast was from 7-10…. Lunch from 12-3 and then dinner 6-10. Very weird timing for an “all inclusive”. Will not return if this is what Saint Lucians consider all inclusive. If you’re expecting Punta Cana Style all inclusive do not go.

You can control the air conditioner. Good staff.
