Detailed Reviews
We recently spent 3 nights at this Guest House. We were met on arrival by Carl, who quickly got us checked in and shown to our room. Ours was on the ground floor of the main building (the guest house is divided over 2 buildings) and had a nice private little patio situated under an abundance of shady palms and trees. The room was a decent size, also containing a small fridge, with a large on suite bathroom (shower only).
We did not partake in breakfast, although that is available, served on the patio overlooking the main pool. A nice gesture is an honesty bar available from around 3pm onwards.
Very clean and well maintained premises, with off road secure parking.

We loved the peaceful pool area and room we got. The host welcomed us and we were able to check in as soon as we arrive early in the morning. We got an upgrade to a first floor room with living room and view to the pool. Everything was perfect.

We spent a peaceful stay at Avalone guest house. They went out of their way to accommodate our ever-changing plans even offering to give us a packed meal if we missed breakfast to go on a tour. We had a stunning room with a beautiful view. the breakfast was lovely a perfect way to start the day.

The host is a very personable man who is easy to talk to. Although English is not my mother tongue, we understood each other very well. In the beautiful tropical garden there are two different pools where you can relax, read and swim. The staff is very friendly and the breakfast delicious.

So clean, modern, quiet and place to relax in a city that is filled with hustle and bustle. We enjoyed chilling at one of the pools. The breakfast was so delicious and everything was done with such a great detail in mind. We can not wait to be back.

We spent two nights at Avalone and truly enjoyed this super guest house as the base for our safari and hippo trips. The owners were very kind and helpful. Would have liked to stay longer and hope to come back.

Carl, the owner couldn’t do enough for us especially during the difficult time of Covid-19. A lovely hotel and a good location for the town, safaris, hippo watching and walks along the coast. We even saw a hippo on our way back from dinner at the side of the road munching grass, you don’t see that everyday!!! Would highly recommend.

Great stay in St. Lucia. Beautiful Village with good Restaurants. Avalone Guest House was really excellent (Location, Rooms, unbelivable breakfast). Thanks to Carl. We got every support we needed. We will come again.

Thank you for your question: Stanton and Paula are absolutely right, it is safe to walk to the restaurants in the evening but you do have to keep a look out for the hippos walking in the streets. It is about 1.5 km from the guesthouse. It is advisable to drive at least on the first night to familiarise yourself with the town and streets and then you can walk with a decent flashlight and be aware of hippos and keep a safe distance away from them and take a different route if neccessary.
Dear Peter, thank you for your question. Sincere apologies for the very late reply. If your arrival time falls out of the normal check in hours it can be priorly arranged with us:) We will just have to do the check in process as quitely as possible as to not disturb the other guests. Thank you and hope to see you soon!
