All I can say is everything great that has been said about the Pomme D'Amour is absolutely true. I had reservations about taking my family with two teenagers to the Caribbean in July...too much rain, too hot, too many mosquitoes, not enough to do? Josee was so open and helpful with my questions and put me completely at ease. By the time we arrived we all had high expectations of an adventurous trip and those expectations were truly exceeded.
July turned out to be a great time to visit St. Lucia. We felt like visitors, not tourists...didn't even see many of them. There were mosquitoes but no more than at home. The fans kept us cool in the evening and the water kept us cool in the daytime. We rented a car with the help of Josee and Pierre (a must for the driving was a fun adventure in itself). In 5 days we traveled all over the island, visited many beaches, snorkled, jumped off the rock in the cove, went horseback riding, had lunch at Ladera, covered ourelves with volcanic mud at the hot springs, did the zip lines, the fish fry, boarded a private sunset cruise, ate with the locals, enjoyed the Pitons and Piton beer. It rains, the sun comes out and life is GOOD. Who doesn't love a rainbow in a tropical paradise?
Josee and Pierre were there whenever we needed them, anxious to help and so interesting to talk to, yet they were perfectly appropriate hosts who seemed to have our needs figured out on day one. They made our reservations and pointed us in the right direction. We couldn't wait to tell them about our days when we returned. THEY ARE VERY SPECIAL PEOPLE!
The villa is off the beaten path but very centrally located as far as the island adventures go. We loved the open air living and appreciated having just the right ammenities. No fluff, just a wonderfully well designed villa with just what you need for a perfectly wonderful getaway. Take me back!
