Jetsetter "This hotel unassumingly blends into its rain forest surroundings as a tiered enclave of 14 modernist cottages." Full review
Frommer's "A stay at the Boucan is much more than just high-thread-count sheets; it's a big dip in a vat of silky St. Lucian chocolate, almost literally." Full review

Frommer's "This two-story, 1990s-era, concrete-sided building painted cerulean blue and white is a 15-minute walk from Vigie Beach, overlooking the marina and the harbor of Castries." Full review
DK Eyewitness "An elegant, intimate getaway, Seraphine overlooks Vigie Cove and the marina and is only 5 minutes from Castries."
Fodor's "This small inn is a good choice for those looking for convenient accommodations who don't require a beachfront location, activities, or special amenities." Full review
Lonely Planet "This inn has a heavy focus on regional businesspeople, so it’s not exactly a vacation environment, but it’s convenient to downtown Castries and the airport." Full review
