Stayed at this resort a few years ago and loved it. They have rebranded and we were disappointed at our stay over Christmas, The resort is still very clean and beautify maintained. Garden rooms do not separate the bathroom from the bedroom, there is a path in front of ground floor rooms so there is no privacy. It previously had 3 restaurants from burgers to al la carte, now there is only one in the evening which is a la carte and only 5 options and same menus occur at regular short intervals - menu not to our liking. Lunch menu buffet style but boring, vegetables were not cooked, my husband had both chicken and pork and found both hard. One day shepards pie but no gravy.. Asked for sandwiched one evening - they were minute and the egg was cold fried egg, and the ham was hard. The desserts however were superb. Staff very friendly and helpful but it had lost its 'family' feel and it is now guest and staff. There are activities throughout the day if that is what you want; when water aerobics were on all you could hear for an hour was 'push etc'. The rebranding for me has changed this exceptional hard to find peaceful relaxing resort into one like most others. Most days we could not get a lounger on the beach. It may suit some but I will not be returning. Read less

Our first visit over New Year and what a fabulous time we had. New Years Eve was amazing food and entertainment, a great party and fireworks was enjoyed by everyone, and champagne on the beach at midnight. So lovely to see all the staff enjoying the evening as well. We stayed for 10 days and as usual food, drinks and activities were all excellent, no issues booking Malabar or Thyme for evenings. Resort wasn’t full, but was getting busier towards end of our stay, but we didn’t encounter any loud large groups over our stay, was the usual vibe we have always had in the past. Plenty of room on the beach, sea was a bit rough for a few days, but still lovely to get some winter sun, whilst drinking a cocktail served by the lovely beach servers. Shout out to all the staff, they are all amazing and so friendly, it’s like returning to family. Too many to name individually, they all really do make the place. We look forward to returning this year to the best resort in St Lucia. Read less

We had a really lovely stay at this boutique hotel. Grounds immaculate and the hotel is kept nicely maintained and attractively decorated. Our room was really nice, poolside and this was perfect for us as we had immediate easy access to the pool, swim up bar and the beach. The food and drinks available were of a very high standard and we enjoyed exceptional service from all staff on almost all times. My husband had the highest of compliments in regards to the fillet steak from The Thyme Restaurant and we particularly appreciated the level of effort that must had gone into putting on the amazing food and entertainment on New Year's Eve. It was greatly enjoyed. We liked that the hotel was more informal than envisaged and that the guests there at the same time as us (over Christmas and New Year) were friendly and relaxed and there was overall, a really nice vibe and feel to the place. It also appeared very safe and secure without having to be particularly aware of the security staff. I had read comments on previous reviews about noisy groups but this was certainly not our experience as this did not typify the type of people we came into contact with. Lots of free activities available, to join in with if wished and if you wanted to relax, then everything possible was available to make your stay as enjoyable and pleasurable as possible. Entertainment staff need a special mention as they always seemed to be enjoying whatever activity, they were putting on. So refreshing to see this. Minor gripes would be that snorkelling is not offered as a free activity and is only provided on a chargeable excursion basis and that sometimes wait times in the fabulous Malabar restaurant, were longer than we thought reasonable at lunchtimes. This did put us off a bit in using this restaurant but all in all, it is being a bit picky and we had a wonderful holiday here. Read less

The delight of Stolen Time grew on us as our week went on. The Spa is good and there are plenty of other activities going on if you want to join in with them. The gardens are particularly gorgeous. The gardeners work hard. At night the garden lights are pretty and there is one enormous tree in the centre of a pretty garden which catches everyone’s eye. We were there at Christmas and the garden was beautifully decorated. Read less

Perfect ingredients for a most peaceful and memorable relaxed vacation. Staff extremely attentive and friendly, they are happy you are there! The immediate access to the expansive beach favors this over Jade Mountain (for us). We will return for sure.
