The place was amazing and really peaceful, we enjoyed our stay, our bad encounter was actually with the manager on site not the host. This was due to a misunderstanding. Our stay was really great, restaurants were a walking distance and so we're the shops.

Beautiful beaches and town.
Beautiful beaches and town. Boat trip on the Estuary was lovely. Best part was the drive to Cape vidal. Saw plenty of wildlife on the way including elephant, rhino, Buffalo, different types of buck and warthog.

St Lucia is clean. I was walking at night alone and felt safe. Enjoyed the cruise with Fannas to see the hippos.
Enough restaurants to eat out.
No beggars on street corners or street children.
The beaches are clean.

Expensive small tourist town in which the majority of black people are there to work but do not live there and do not own much of the local economy, except being service providers. The St Lucia Wetlands Park Authority and other entities have a lot of work to do, to ensure black investment in the tourism sector as owners rather than servants. The racial and ethnical picture in the restaurants is very deplorable and has not changed much since apartheid. This makes the town, not the best place to visit for holiday. I would not visit for a long time for leisure to spend my hard earned black cash is an economy that is refusing to change. The private sector operating here needs to enjoin government efforts for economic transformation and support the diversification of the tourist sector - not by fronting but real transformation.

ST as we call it here in Joburg is a beautiful place with plenty to see an do if you have the transport. Walking around town is not a problem because it's "short and sweet' yet full of attractions, shops and restaurants just as in any self-respectful beach destination. Full of places to rest in and dine. Beaches need transport but in our country if you have no wheels you stay home! Trust me it's well worth it! UNESCO parks, Big (4) cos' no Lions allowed ;-) 25degC ocean water and a lots of fun! Activities can be found with a short search so I'm not going to go that deep.
And, to answer Booking.com's robot:
"What would you avoid on your next visit?"

Come visit ST...and prove me wrong!

St Lucia must certainly be one of the best small towns in South Africa. The character and charm is unbeatable. The locals are welcoming, helpful and just fantastic people. The choice of restaurants, curios shops, art and craft shops, the village market, wildlife in the town is amazing and simply wonderful!
We loved everything about it. An elegant guesthouse run by Don. Don was most helpfull from the moment we stepped in. From welcome drinks to literally planning our short holiday in st lucia.
Rooms are really neat and and well kept.
Breakfast was great and Don managed to get us some halaal meat options.
It really felt like home, a much fancier home lol.
Overall, it was an amazing stay.
It is nice, clean, has enough room for two families. We loved the fact that everything you need is there. It is self catering and has a daily housekeeper and gardener. The location is very close to town within walking distance to town. We all felt very safe at this property. It is in a very quiet neighborhood with no distractions or disturbances.
Adrian went out of his way to help us with a great itinerary for our stay in St Lucia and was extremely helpful, even lending us equipment to enjoy a day on the beach. The room was very comfortable and nicely furnished, and breakfast was excellent. The surrounding area is very interesting and incredibly beautiful.
The place is cool. They manage both flamingo and st lucia palms, personally i like more flamingo. When we arrived to palms there were a group making really loud noise and the manager changed us to flamingo instead. There were not their fault these clients were really annoying and they even had to call the security
Everything was perfect. Colin and Natalie were perfect hosts and so welcoming and helpful. All the staff were friendly and super helpful and kind. Breakfast was the best ever! Simply delicious and plentiful. The location was perfectly for exploring St Lucia and very peaceful with beautiful gardens and pool.
I liked the rooms were clean and and freshly organized👍. The self catering kitchen is unique and amazing 🤏🤏you find everything you need in that kitchen we were able to make our food in the way we wanted. The outside pool view is so relaxing and actually we enjoyed our stay at the Lodge
Got a very good deal for 4 days stay at the property. I had stayed in the other places in St. Lucia in the previous visits. The place is definitely worth its value, especially travel as a group. The rooms are clean and spacious, the kitench has everything you need.
Great location, warm, kind hosts, ever helpful staff who are customer oriented and one of the cleanest showers I've been in. The place is generally very clean. Enjoyed the generous breakfast (delicious!) and relaxing South African music in the background.
Everything far exceeds what is advertised. Very comfortable and clean... stunning kitchens. This is a 5 star place. The staff is very friendly and thoughtful.
The best place to stay with family in St Lucia.
Will definately be staying here again.
Did not try the breakfast since I booked self catering. We will book breakfast the next time as most of the restaurants only open from 09h00, with the exception of Wimpy. After 09h00, there are plenty of options and the kitchen is well equipped.
Breakfast was fresh with excellent cappuccino and options. Most importantly the hosts at this location are amazing and personable. The room and place are BEAUTIFUL and clean. Nice Pool. Staying here really made our stay in St. Lucia wonderful.
I would recommend 31 The Bridge to any family looking for a self catering apartment in St Lucia. The place was very neat, secure and ideally located just outside the swimming pool. Everything mentioned on their site was provided accordingly.
Quiet beautiful scenery, located close to the beach, beautiful town scenery,, happy cheerful staff always ready to assist,, comfy bedding, self catering facilities,, super fast wifi,, will definitely go there more often
Staff was very welcoming and loving. enjoyed the breakfast. The ladies at the kitchen were very friendly. they made sure we feel comfortable. gave us directions , around ST lucia. Hotel close to shop's.
The Bridge is ideally situated, walk away from the shops and restaurants. Found St Lucia to be safe to walk even at night ... kudos to their police and people running the town
