Thank you Pascale for having us at your magical place, it truly is as beautiful and more as the property pictures on the VRBO website. We were 12 of us, 3 families and all of us had plenty of space and privacy, and still close to have a fun time at the pool together. The villa was well stocked with essentials and a short trip to Maccy’s for shopping groceries and a trip to Castries to the farmers market that supplied us with fresh fruit and vegetables for the week. The views are spectacular from the villa.
We enjoyed snorkeling with Cuthbert and his companion who gave us a tour all the way to Soufrier on their boat with lots of great information about the island. We hiked the big Piton, a must in my book, very strenuous and steep but worth the view, just gorgeous, and the Sulfur mudd bath relieved all our achy bones.
Some of us went fishing with Mike and others went horseback riding all arranged by Pascale, who couldn’t have been more helpful. We had a most delicious supper with the Barracuda and the Mackerel that was caught that day.
Marigot Bay is quaint and beautiful with plenty of little restaurants to eat at. We rented a car, the roads are very windy and narrow, but once you get used to driving on the left, we all felt almost like we were the locals speeding. For the faint hearted, hire a driver.
I recommend bringing a good amount of cash for some excursions that did not accept credit cards, and the amount of money in the ATM is often limited. All the locals were super friendly and helpful. It truly was a wonderful and memorable week for all of us. We thank Pascale and Saint Lucia!
