Casa Bonita GLAM

Neat, cosy place, located at Castries. Excellent host.

Nothing that I did not like

Mooie nieuwe locatie mooi schoon hele aardige gastvrouw. Gaan er zeker weer heen volgende keer

For starters, the host, Yoeli (pronounced Jolee) should be running classes on how to operate a vacation rental. From the instant I walked in, I knew I hit the lottery with her oh so tasteful attention to detail. Who leaves individual juice, water, eggs, bread, jams, coffee, tea, and small bottle of wine for the first night? Yoeli! The apartment is basically new, and even if it wasn't, Yoeli would make sure it looks new. Netflix is in the apartment and Yoeli lives in an adjacent apartment so single women can feel 100% safe. Actually, more than 100% safe, as Yoeli is also a medical doctor, which explains the travel first aid kit in the bathroom. Yoeli picked me up in Vieux Fort, where I flew in from London, and transported me across the island to Castries, where I flew out to St. Vincent. Yoeli has every intention of making her guests happy guests. The apartment is on a hill and I wasn't too keen on buying groceries and then lugging them up the hill. No problem! Yoeli drove me to the supermarket and gave me a little tour of Castries. If you want to be treated like family or a good friend, book this adorable sanctuary and walk away delighted.

Nothing at all in the apartment. Just ask Yoeli how best to get to town or the beautiful nearby white sand beach.

The host is nice and helpful. She arranged taxi for us to catch the ferry and waive the taxi charges, also 25usd deduction from the room charges. But wish we were notified slightly earlier, so we could make a different choices.

Unfortunately we didn't get stay in the unit where we booked on booking.com, four days before our arrival, we were informed that a studio was prepared for us because the other unit was in repair and renovation. It was quite confusing until we got there. We ended up staying in a small studio instead of the 2 bedroom unit. There was no night tables, but a noisy fridge right beside the bed. No stove but only single electric burner, it works very slow, takes forever to bring water to boil. The insulation is poor, you heard everything from the neighbors. We didn't have a good rest before the early morning ferry.
