“Wonderful relaxing holiday”

What a wonderful holiday at Stolentime! This was our second visit, having been there originally 2 years ago, and we were hoping it would be as good as we remembered and it certainly was.

What a wonderful holiday at Stolentime! This was our second visit, having been there originally 2 years ago, and we were hoping it would be as good as we remembered and it certainly was. It was great to see so many familiar faces and that is a credit to the hotel that staff retention is so high. Everyone at the hotel, in all departments, want to make sure that the guests are happy and enjoying themselves. The ethos of great customer service comes directly from the General Manager, Lisa and her team, who were very visible around the hotel and engaging with guests. The quality of the food in all three restaurants was excellent and always beautifully presented. A very wide range of drinks was available and having the champagne hour was an added bonus. The bar staff were excellent & quickly remembered your drink preference. In addition to the 3 restaurants, afternoon tea was served daily. So there was certainly no shortage of delicious food or drinks. So many staff really made our stay memorable including Dean (watersports), Joachim, Darren, Denzel, Miquel (entertainment team), Jacy, Matilda (restaurants) and so many more. During our stay we celebrated our wedding anniversary and it was made extra special with a specially decorated breakfast table and a bottle of champagne in our room. The hotel is situated on a beautiful sandy beach and having the watersports available was great. There was always something to do if you wanted to (Pilates, yoga, cookery demonstrations, archery….) but there was no pressure to do anything apart from relax and enjoy. Thank you to Lisa and all the staff - we will be back for visit number 3!!

“Not really our cup of tea!”

The grounds (loved the lazy river) and food were lovely. The room was nice and had a veranda overlooking the ocean. Unfortunately we were unaware that the day we arrived was the same day St Lucia Carabana started. The music began blaring and vibrating our room that same evening. We spoke to the manager and they allowed us to move to another room to sleep further away from the field next door where the event was taking place. The music played almost 24/7 for 3 days. We were never so happy to see it end, since we came with the understanding it was a quiet resort. We enjoyed the cats and dogs on the property and had no problem with it being a public beach, and getting a seat was never a problem. It was also great to see a no alcohol drink menu, but drinks in the fridge (besides water would have been nice). A tv in the room would have been a bonus if you didn’t want to attend the evening entertainment. We will likely not return to this resort as it didn’t really suite us. Many of the activities were directed towards younger physically active participants and we were looking for quiet and relaxation.

“A relaxing 72 hours”

Stolentime resort is at the northern end of Saint Lucia, about 1hr and 20mins from the main international airport, along a winding road, the upside is you get to see most of the Islands interior. Very lush rainforest set among the steep slopes. The resort mirrors the rainforest theme, with a lovely stream winding through established vegetation, creating a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. There is also a formal pool and of course the stretch of sandy beach, which was litter free with shady spots to linger. The are several areas to eat, being all inclusive the choice is yours. The food was lovely, reasonably portioned on the Al a Carte days, but on the buffet days there was a huge selection of local and international dishes. The staff were very friendly and attentive, always smiling 🙂. My room was lovely and cool, a great retreat from the warmth, with a large balcony, bath and shower. There seems to be a huge selection of activities for the so minded, but if a walk in the morning is your thing, then a jaunt to the lighthouse is a must. If you’re missing a little retail therapy, Massey supermarket is a short walk, and they stock Waitrose goods (a British staple brand) for home sick guests. The one downside is the resort is located very close to the regional airport which has the odd early morning departure which flies over head on occasions. In summary, a great place for a stay long or short, and I am sure I will return soon.
