Poinsettia Villa Apartments

This was not my first time to St Lucia. I am a frequent visitor and have stayed at many place but this one has been one of my best times here in St Lucia. Located in Castries the capital of the island and only 30mins drive for the most to Rodney Bay in the north, I couldn’t have been more at home. I am quite impressed with the service and the caring factor that management has and the staff make you feel so comfortable and at home compared to most of the big resorts on the island. The location is even great for seeing the rest of the island as more of the things to be done are to the south when it comes to real island adventure and this is a great set off point. Few place give you everything that they claim to have and this by far is the best I have seen for apartment type stays. Privacy is also awarded a 10 (ten) because of the way it was built. Beautiful sunset everyday with a view of the Castries Harbor and a pool for fun or relaxation. we can not forget the freshly picked mangos that we got everyday (thanks for those) and if you love mangos contact them and ask when is the season for that. I will definitely be stay at Poinsettia apartments again on my next visit to St Lucia and again a special thanks to the management and team of Pointsetta apartments for making sure that I will be back in St Lucia again. Thank you, for making me feel at home and I will see you very soon. Sonia

Clean, safe, welcoming, so well equipped for self catering. Great views of the harbour. Wonderful veranda for having a relaxing drink, breakfast, or dinner. Everyone was so amazingly helpful. The two sisters even recommended a herbalist whose assistance I needed. I would stay here again if I visited. Oh, reasonable priced lunches on the closest beach (Vigi) which is but a short walk away.

I had a really amazing stay at Poinsettia. it was just a short stay of two nights at the end of my trip but it was the perfect location. It took me less than 3 mins to get to the airport when I sadly had to leave, but it meant I had time to enjoy a bite to eat at the beach bar before boarding. The apartment was really spacious. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything I needed, especially a blender as I love to make my morning smoothies after my workout. There was enough room for me to do my morning exercise on the private verandah and what a gorgeous view!! I enjoyed working out and watching the cruise ships come in and tour boats go out, the quiet hustle and bustle of island life. The property has so many fruit trees and gorgeous colourful plants making it really tranquil to just sit and enjoy the sounds of the birds and crickets. At nights is really nice to go and sit on the open roof deck and watch the stars and moon. Altho I didn't use the pool, it's a great length to do a few laps for exercise and it's the perfect size for the kids to enjoy or to simply chill out on the sun loungers. I really felt very safe on the property and the groundsman and housekeepers were very friendly. The place was extremely clean inside the villa and on site and the owners Diane and Margaux were so welcoming and friendly. They were happy to share info on St Lucia, where to eat and what to do which is always great info to have when abroad and wanting to explore and experience all the island has to offer. I'd highly recommend these villas to anyone who is making an overnight business trip or a longer stay. It's perfect for both. Thanks again and I'll be sure to tell any friends visiting the island to come and stay and I know for sure I'll be back again soon!! Zoe

Poinsettia Villas offer a very comfortable apartment base in Castries. The team take great pride in their calm, generous and thoughtful presentation of these apartments. Everywhere was very clean. The apartment was well equipped and everything worked as it should. The welcome pack was carefully prepared and appreciated as we arrived on a Saturday evening. The location is excellent with peaceful accommodation but only a short distance to the market in town and great views from the terrace down to the cruise liner port. We enjoyed being taught how to prepare the soursop we had bought in the market. We stayed 13 nights and were very comfortable throughout. We should happily return to Poinsettia Villas on any future visit to Saint Lucia.

Spent all of January at Poinsettia Villas . The Villas are great with fantastic views of the harbor surrounded by lush tropical gardens. All the people were beyond helpful and made us feel very welcome. Very nice pool. We will definitely be visiting again.

Margaux and Diane are lovely hosts. The apartments are very comfortable with a lovely view. It is a little bit out of town but there is a "shortcut" which makes it closer. We found it easy to arrange taxi tours and the local bus stop for north to Gros Ilet/Rodney bay/Pigeon island is just a 5 min walk. The kitchen and bathroom had everything we needed and the washing machine was a handy bonus.

Upon our arrival we were warmly welcomed by Margaux (owner/manager) and a staff member who assisted us in moving our luggage to our apartment and was available throughout our stay to non-intrusively assist to any request. The apartment was very well appointed with every convenience of home, truly very relaxing and comfortable. Margaux has thought of everything from a welcoming basket to get your day started on the right foot, to laundry detergent, a very handy packet of information on local services (taxis, restaurants, sight seeing, etc) and even provides a local cell phone so you can make locals without added expense of international roaming charges! THIS is service you are not going to find at a hotel chain!! The grounds are very secure and absolutely beautiful with lush tropical, well maintained landscaping and very quiet. Beautiful view of the bay. Poinsettia Villa Apartments will be my #1 for any future visits to Castries and local area. I left feeling like I had a new dear friend in Margaux and her entire staff.

I had a wonderful stay at the Poinsettia Villa. The staff demonstrated all the features of the apartment when I arrived and were always available to help. The villa was very comfortable and large. The gardens were beautifully maintained and the view off the terrace of the harbor was amazing. The kitchen had everything you needed for cooking at home. I felt very safe there and in the city.

Thank you to the Poinsettia Villas team for helping make my first time working in St Lucia easy and enjoyable. I enjoyed having the peace and sanctuary of an apartment with the added advantage of pool and easy walk to shops and town. My only advice for improvement, create a path for access to the marina and restaurants. You will be highly recommended to my colleagues.
