We just wrapped up a two week stay at Plantation House, our 2nd. Obviously, we love it there! Both times we have stayed in St. Lucia (one of the penthouse suites with beautiful ocean views and gorgeous sunrises). We have peeked inside all six apartments at Plantation House. All look comfortable, inviting and are well equipped. We wouldn't hesitate to stay in any of them. We chose the penthouse for the ocean view, 2nd bathroom, and a wash machine. The stairs for us are a plus... a way to sneak in a little extra exercise. (A lift is available to bring up luggage.) Joe and Francoise are wonderful hosts, quick to resolve any issues and they provide great suggestions - out of the way restaurants, bakeries, beaches, Pilates classes. Hakima's massages are amazing. She teaches Pilates at a nearby boutique gym. Plantation house is close to the beach and Avenida Quinta, yet tucked away in a cute little neighborhood. We think it's the best spot in Playa. It's a short walk to hundreds of restaurants, beach clubs and even the town square. There are a few night clubs down the street, yet noise was minimal. I used earplugs just a couple of times and if we opted to close the windows and turn on the air, I would not have needed them.
