Our stay was lovely. The rooms where clean and beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. The staff were friendly and efficient and very helpful. The breakfast was delicious with so many choices. It's in walking distance from the main road which also made it more appealing.

Booked a couple of nights in St Lucia at the Umlilo Lodge. The room was very comfortable, beds were amazing! It also has the only gas shower that I have ever used that actually worked and did not run out of gas or have cold water half way through - well done guys, I don't know how you managed that, but I will be back to use it again!

Tropical experience, a hidden beauty in St. Lucia. The rooms are a bit difficult to access with te steep stairs and heavy suitcase. Bur are very nice as was the breakfast. They make you the eggs the way you like. Tree frogs in the pod at the entrance.

Such a pleasure to stay at the Umlilo lodge, the grounds are so beautiful like a mini tropical forest. The staff were all so friendly and helpful, assisting us with booking activities. The lodge is located about 30 seconds walk from the main street in St Lucia, so it’s perfect for going out for meals and for getting picked up for trips/tours/safaris. Would definitely stay again
