Vieux Fort Mankote Mangrove Hotels

"Yes the ocean was and the host was charming.. a brilliant introduction to the warmth of people on St Lucia"

"It is no wonder this is such a popular resort. The staff were outstanding…too many to mention, but here are a few: Lovina buffet restaurant), Rose (housekeeping), Kershana (activities) and yoga master Vernon! Food was great, esp on the Verandah and Trattoria. Only negative was Hermina at the reservations desk…her blunt negative attitude stood out amongst everyone else’s easy, friendly demeanour. The resort did a commendable job clearing out the sargassum each morning. And it was a pleasant surprise to play on four dedicated pickleball courts. Overall, while our Adults Only section gave us the quiet relaxing vibe we wanted, it was fun to see all the kids and parents enjoying themselves in the waterpark, at the pool and around the Cove. Overall, "

"We had a great stay at Castles in Paradise. We stayed in Villa 7 which has its own private pool with a beautiful covered, shady patio as well as 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. There is a beautiful view of Savannes Bay from the villa. Bonnie, Giselle and Avril made us feel welcome and provided advice about things to see and do on the island. They really provide top notch customer service. You need a car here so you can see the island. The resort is about a 10 min drive to UVF airport. There is an amazing fine dining restaurant near the airport called Fayes Gastronomie Artisan which is not to be missed. Fayes also has a gourmet market where you can buy high quality provisions for your stay. Fayes has meats, fish, fruit, vegetables, snacks, drinks and a wine shop so you can stock your fridge at Castles in Paradise (our villia had a full kitchen) in case you don't want to eat out all the time. There are also local grocery stores. There are also beach bars/restaurants about 10-15 min away and also Kayak on the Bay about 20 min in the other direction in Praslin for a wonderful activity. This is a great place to stay in St.Lucia if you prefer a quiet peaceful property away from the more touristy crowd in the north of the island. We drove to other parts of the island but if you don't feel comfortable driving on the left on curvy roads, I think you can hire a driver for your trips away from the property. "

"My stay was amazing from start to end! The space was impeccably clean, the bed was so comfortable, the kitchen was fully equipped with everything you need if you decide to cook and the host was so so helpful especially for the first two days I was there! I have nothing negative to say — I’d stay here again and again!"

"Incredible property with incredible staff- highly recommend!!"

"The Aupicblue apartments Vieux Fort was lovely and clean. The host thought of everything to make her guests’ stay at the hotel as comfortable as possible. I would definitely recommend her apartment to friends and family and would rebook another visit anytime. Excellent value for money "

"Host was fantastic!!!!"

"Love the stay here, house was very nice, needs some ac in the common areas but besides that it is beautiful! A lil rocky to get to the actual villa but I guess no one extra would be coming either lol bedrooms are nice and big with comfy beds. The host is amazing!! Right on call for everything you need even set us up with a chef whose food was wonderful!! "

"Oma is a great host, very communicative and helpful. From restaurant and shopping suggestions to aligning us with a great guide for a day on the water. The villa is well laid out with 4 almost identical masters and is very clean. The staff is polite and attentive, the greeting meal Virginia prepared was outstanding"
