As part of our tour we stayed 2 nights at this hotel. It had the lowest star rating of all our 9 hotels we were to stay in, but for me I would give it 5 stars on friendliness alone. Good sized room with nice big shower. All rooms are on the ground floor with sliding glass doors out to... More

We only spent one night at this hotel on our way through St Lucia but it was quite a pleasant stay. Rooms: spacious and clean with a large modern bathroom - large shower - no bath. The ground floor rooms all have a sliding glass door which opens out onto the garden which overlooks the estuary. Dining: A full selection... More

We stayed 2 nights at this delightful little hotel and were greeted by the hotel manager who made us feel very welcome and we found that all the staff were delightful and very friendly. Set in beautiful surroundings near the estuary and we even saw a couple of hippos (non-resident) at night who came up from the river to drink... More

This hotel was situated near the estuary where the hippos live, and a couple came one evening and drank in the swimming pool! Then they saunter into town, obviously to be avoided but great to see them in their own habitat. Hotel rooms were smaller than most but very comfortable. Dining room was small but it spread out to a... More

Stayed two nights in March as part of a tour group. We were welcomed by the manager who gave us an introduction to the hotel, its facilities and surrounds. A nice personal touch. All our rooms were on the ground floor and included terraces that lead on to the garden and pool area. The rooms were light and homely. Very... More

A good hotel which seems to largely cater for bus tours. The room was a good size and comfortable but was in need of a lick of paint. A good breakfast on a nice terrace, pool and loungers in a nice garden setting. The reception staff are very helpful and will organise tours at reasonable prices. The night drive was... More

Went there last year. Rooms are lovely and clean - all with A/C. All the staff are friendly and helpful - they made our time enjoyable there. I would also suggest booking your tours and safari's through them - they're reasonable, and will take you on your tours even if the "minimum persons" isn't reached. I particularly enjoyed the inn,...

It is the only hotel big enough to accommodate tour buses. The rooms are all well furnished and air conditioned. Ground floor rooms lead to nice big swimming pool. The Staff is friendly and efficient, and the buffet breakfast is excellent. The price is good value for money

I stayed at the Elephant Lake Hotel in October 2012 with my wife while on a tour of S. Africa; St. Lucia was one of the stopover points. St. Lucia itself is a bit of a touristy location, but not at all bad, with plenty of places to eat, shop, and things to do and see. Elephant Lake Hotel is... More

I really like this older hotel. The staff is great, food is very good and the service is perfect. The hotel has CHARM! and you can eat outside. It is easy walking distance to the other shops, stores, and restaurants.
