The village of Sourfriere has some of the best views of the Pitons and the view from here is about as good as it gets. Beyond the view it seemed like a reasonable value. We had a large room with AC, a small TV, a balcony with 2 chairs and a small table, private bath and a safe. There is a small restaurant downstairs and from there a few steps down to the beach. There's a shower to rinse when coming off the beach but no chairs to use on the beach. Saw some broken glass so wore water shoes into the ocean.
It's an easy walk into town where there's a Massy grocery, a small outdoor market by the bus station and the harbor dock.
There's no sign at the entrance so had to ask around to make sure we were in the right place. (We were driving ourselves.) We had a water issue in our room, but the staff was very friendly and did everything they could to make sure our visit was comfortable.

If you're the sort that needs the all-inclusive polish of a Sandals-like resort, Soufriere isn't for you (unless you can afford Anse Chastonet). If you want to experience St Lucian culture and it's beautiful sights and sounds, you should check it out.

We stayed at the beach resort for three nights, then headed into the hills and stayed on the Plantation for the remainder of our trip. Both had their strong points but we prefered the self-catered option of the Plantation.

*beach resort...
views: brilliant
seafood: brilliant
staff: 50/50 rude/sweet
SCUBA: unmatched (brilliant)
The fact that it's not Castaries: priceless

*plantation resort...
views: nice
food: self-catered
staff: absent (was like a ghost town in the off-season)
accomodations: great - we were pretty much left alone in the place (felt like our own cottage in the Caribean)

5 Soufriere hints:

1). Get out of dodge when the cruise ships come in. They're generally full of yobbish masses who swamp the town and beaches. Not a pretty sight in an otherwise quaint cove.

2). Hike over (or take a water taxi) to Anse Chastonet to see how the other set live. It's morbidly expensive to stay there, but we just used them for their [----] beaches

3). Black-on-White racism exists in it's purest form in Soufriere. Expect insults, slurs, expecially in "town". Let it roll off your back - these jerks spoil it for the overwhelming number of St. Lucians who are kind-hearted and welcome visitors.

4). try scuba-diving (or snorkelling). you'll be rewarded in droves.

5). Skip the dumb, smelly volcano tour.

I am very glad I chose this hotel and did not go to a resort.

It is in a beautiful location right on the beach with a view over the Pitons and just on the edge of Soufriere (which is really a village.)

The room was simple and clean with a good private balcony. Breakfast was nicely served, even if the cutlery did not always form a matching set (this is the Caribbean. St Lucia is a poor country. This is authentic.)

The staff were lovely, and kind and helpful. The locals used the beach. It is their beach. They were friendly and are nice people. They do not have easy lives. We have so much more, but we have lost something as well. Porgy organised the trips and acted as my guide. The car was owned by his uncle and driven by his cousin. He took me to the rain forest where he picked a fresh coconut and grapefruit from the trees for me and introduced me to a lovely old man who had nothing, but who had looked after him when he was a child.

The hotel is five minutes walk from Soufriere where there are chickens in the street and authentic Caribbean restaurants. Some days there is a choice of fruit juice. Other days there is not.

If you want a resort with imported sand and pampered, pristine luxury, isolated from the locals, then this hotel is not for you. I wanted a small, simple hotel in a good location away from the manufactured artificiality. This was a very good choice.

We stopped here off the local beach on a Sunday afternoon. They had a buffet as the only food option and we were looking for a drink and ceviche only. As we were walking away, Pinky (waitress) chased us down and said Chef Paul was willing to make us the dish. It was tasty, fresh and good. Pinky was amazing and so kind. Great service!

It seemed like I was the first guest after closing for COVID and reopening. I was a little hesitant to book, but my stay turned out to be excellent. There is no front desk, but the staff from the restaurant downstairs help me check in. And everything operated smoothly for my 3 night stay. I was given the WhatsApp of Shane. If I needed assistance with arranging transport general, contacted him. He was very responsive and knowledgeable. Every evening I sat out on the porch and was mesmerized by pitons, such an excellent view. It was extremely relaxing. The restaurant downstairs was excellent. And the snorkeling in the bay near the hotel was decent too! And the WiFi was some of the best in the Caribbean.

We arrived with our 3 hot and sweaty kids at the Still Plantation and asked at Reception for directions to the pool. These were given, we rushed to our rooms and changed, and then headed to the water - to find that the pool had been drained! It was to be empty for the 2-week duration of our stay. We complained bitterly and were offered a significant discount which helped - if only as a contribution to the cost of renting a car, so we could get to beaches and other pools more easily - but it never fully compensated us for the lost ability to completely relax. On the first morning we had breakfast and I then paid cash for it. After, I realised that it had been included in our 'new' offer (and the 'old' offer, for that matter). I did nothing until we left, at which point I proposed deducting it from our bill - with the receipt as evidence. No way! The manager himself began to argue in earnest with me and he genuinely seemed unable to understand that we were due back some money. All in all, the Still Plantation is a mixed bunch. The views are nice, the breakfast is nice, the staff are friendly; but the 'whole' somehow doesn't work. we moved on for a 3rd week, downmarket at La Panache at Gros Islet, and upmarket at Windjammer Landing, and we enjoyed both of these much more than the Still. It must be said, though, Soufriere is absolutely lovely and the best region to stay in - I just wish I could have afforded the Jalousie Hilton!

After a tortuous experience at Anse Chastanet (that's a whole other story) my husband and I decided to try some of the local restuarants. We should have known better when we arrived at The Still and we were the only people in the dining room. We ordered drinks and were taking video of the scenery when the waitress came back with a tray. She took off one of the drinks and did not realize that her tray was unbalanced; needless to say, a complete drink was spilt all over my husband and our video camera! Upsettingly, all of our honeymoon footage was on the tape that was inside the camera! The camera was broken and the tape was destroyed. The waitress was apologetic and David, the manager/ owner promised to compensate us for the repair of the camera. We truly believed that he would make good on his word and we trusted him to do the right thing. Upon return to the US, we had the camera fixed and we sent him a copy of the bill -- a total of $300. That was in August, 2003 and we have not heard a word from David since. We have called The Still many times to ask David when we could expect to be reimbursed. He usually refuses to come to the phone or gives us some excuse that business is slow (no wonder!) and that he'll put a check in the mail next week. After reading reviews of this establishment and the horrors that others have had to endure while at The Still, I realize that we should just cut our losses...

We stayed at the Still Beach Resort for a week in December and really enjoyed it. The rooms were clean and spacious, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The best thing is the view. It's right at the beach and we had a beautiful view of a Piton, Soufriere, and the beach. And all this for $80 a night. Since we arrived late, complimentary sandwiches were waiting for us in our room. We also had always beautiful flowers and fresh fruits in our room. We had a little problem with our hot water boiler once. They fixed it right away, although it was Sunday. We went on a great half-day diving trip with the dive master at the hotel. My husband dived on 2 different sites and I snorkeled there. We only payed $10 for me. They are very flexible about individual wishes. The food in the restaurant was very good. The patio is right at the beach with a great Piton-view.
We recommend taking a rental car so you can see the other beautiful places.
When I read some of the other reviews, I get the feeling those people are better off in a fancy 5-star all-inclusive resort.

The still beach resort is a 1-star resort with a 5 -star view. We occupied the middle room and had a wonderful view of the Pitons. Unfortunately there was a poop in the toilet when we checked in and the sliding door onto the shared balcony did not lock so there was no security! This motel (not resort) is not for the faint of heart. For that matter, the town of Soufriere takes some getting used to also. Our experience was that the locals stared at us as if we had walked off a spaceship. The grocery store in town only sold liquor and bad chocolate. We once spent an afternoon in town watching three stores in the town burn down. This was the entertainment. Our room neighbours also found the 'still' a little hard to handle and told us of their plan to move to Rodney Bay asap. Guess what? We borrowed their brochure and moved to Rodney Bay the next day. What a relief - the vacation was saved. Most resorts leave chocolate in the room...we got poop!

"Room #5 did not have the best view, but a pleasant one. The issues were: #1: it was very warm in there. The air conditioner did not work, no ceiling fans, one free-standing fan that we could move as needed. But did not spend much time in the room. #2: Being at the far end, there was no through traffic from others staying at the place. However, there was a stairway from the kitchen area below that passed by our room, and also the back side of the resort next door faced this room, with a lot of activity at times. Did not bother us much, but it might others."
