Fiona and Jan are friendly and welcoming. Mine was a business trip, but the area is beautiful and if you are into sea fishing - Jan is your man. Within easy walking distance of the local restaurants, but watch out for wandering hippos - they always have right-of-way!

Turtle Bay Lodge is lovely! One street back from the main road so it is quiet yet still right in town, close to everything. Incredibly friendly with a terrific breakfast, more than you can possibly eat. Wonderful place to stay in St Lucia. Thank you Fiona & Jann!

Great place to stay. I had to be up early, which was no problem for the owners, Jan and Fiona, who made me a tasty bacon and cheese based packed breakfast. The lack of a tv in my room wasn't an issue as I had to write reports (next to the sparkling pool with pub too enticingly close) and I would stay again in a heart beat.

Great value for money
Great service and experience. Wonderful facilities. The option of a well-priced upgrade was happily received. Consider this a rave review about the bedding, linen and breakfast as well.

Séjour à st lucia
Emplacement nickel pour visiter la région. Estuaire, cap vidal et hluhluwe. Les hôtes sont au top et plein de bon conseils. On a eu la chance de pouvoir déguster un poisson péché et préparé par le gérant. Un vrai régal. Super séjour on conseille sans hésiter.
