Tropical experience, a hidden beauty in St. Lucia. The rooms are a bit difficult to access with te steep stairs and heavy suitcase. Bur are very nice as was the breakfast. They make you the eggs the way you like. Tree frogs in the pod at the entrance.

Such a pleasure to stay at the Umlilo lodge, the grounds are so beautiful like a mini tropical forest. The staff were all so friendly and helpful, assisting us with booking activities. The lodge is located about 30 seconds walk from the main street in St Lucia, so it’s perfect for going out for meals and for getting picked up for trips/tours/safaris. Would definitely stay again

Wonderful jungle garden in the middle of the village with super gentle and efficient staff. Double rooms are very nice, breakfast very rich and the whole lodge is a lovely hidden corner 2 minutes walking from the centre

Umlilo lodge will definitely see us again. Hot showers any time of day, availability of water on site and secluded/private campsites. Friendly and helpful staff. Close to beautiful Kosi Bay mouth. We will be back

Our family of four spent three nights at Umlilo and loved it. The room was spacious and comfortable and having the common outdoor seating area was great. Staff is friendly and helpful and the location was great.

A beautiful peaceful tropical oasis. Spacious rooms amidst lovely gardens with very helpful and friendly owners. Just a block from main road but calm and quiet. Only issue was that bathrooms insufficiently ventilated and so were a bit humid, but AC was strong in counteracting this.

My friend and I had a great stay at Umlilo lodge. Warm welcome from the owner. We arrived in the evening and he kindly gave us information about what to do, so we could book and organise our stay efficiently. The room was big and very confortable. We enjoy a very good breakfast (we travelled 5 weeks in South Africa and this one is really at the top of the ranking ;)); and Charles cooked something special (kind of beignet) to take away when we were about to leave and this was very kind. The lodge is within a short walking distance to the main street of Santa Lucia which is handy and there is a nice restaurant with a terrace just around the corner, still in Dolfyn Avenue. I highly recommend this place!

Great stay at his beautiful lodge. Quiet, clean and everything is done with lots of passion. The breakfast and dinner are delicious. We had a very warm welcome and would always come back. (Even experienced a great birthday there). Thanks a lot!

We (family of three) had a wonderful time during our stay! The hosts are very friendly and helped with every request (e.g. Boat cruise, whale watching, restaurants,…) we had. The room was fantastic and had everything we needed. The breakfast is delicious and if possible you must try the “Traditional Dinner”.
