Guest review

Het hotels is prachtig gelegen. Het uitzicht vanaf het terras over de wetlands en de zee is magnifiek. De ontvangst door Tammy was vriendelijk en enthousiast. Ook voor de dagen na het verblijf bij Ndiza heeft ze voor ons nog enkele excursies in St. Lucia kunnen regelen. Onze huurauto die onder een laag zand en modder zat is door de tuinman netjes gewassen.

Niets. Alles was dik in orde.

Staff (Tammy) is very friendly and good location. By day you can walk to center. Breakfast is yoghurt/fruit (very good!!). There is also english breakfast. And a beautiful view to the sea at the breakfast location.

We have stayed in one of the cabanas. The AC was not working, the van was not working so it was very cold. They did offered us an extra blanket. The wifi was not good and the bed was very hard. The curtains are very thin, a lot of light is coming through the window by Night.

Beautiful river views from the comfort of our secluded lodge. The staff could not have done more for us. They even washed our car before we left. The BBQ dinner and breakfast were delicious.

Mooi uitzicht op het woud en de oceaan. Lekker ontbijt Vriendelijk personeel (onze wagen was plotseling gewassen nadat we een selfdrive hadden gedaan) Je kan via de lodge excursies laten vastleggen.

1-Management! Amanda and her daughter Tammy run it, and run it exceptionally well! 2-Staff! Friendly & very competent 3-Rooms! large, w/both a sitting room and bedroom. Small kitchen for those who want to eat-in 4-Breakfasts! Get the omelette! 5-Tours: tell Tammy what you'd like to see and she'll arrange it 6-Location! Sit on the terrace and watch the Indian Ocean waves - and it's an easy walk there. 7-Location! An easy 10 min walk to town for food, restaurants, an evening bottle of wine and/or spirits

Leaving; I had an absolutely lovely stay!
