    FYI, there are mosquitoes 24/7. Watch out not to keep your balcony door open . Need to go in and out quickly. They also get more intense starting at 6:00 pm. Bring calamine lotion w you . If you do not have it, I used fresh lime wedges on my legs 2-3 x a day for comfort and anti itch. It helped me cope. I understand we are in the mountains and rainforest but I have been to other Caribbean islands and I have never experienced so many bites. I just want to let anyone know, because I , by the end of my trip wanted to get back home. Please use repellent or a Vaseline type repellent , you can purchase it at the mini Massey store or the larger Massey store. When we arrived, I asked if and when about mosquitoes and I was told there are none , not to worry. Unfortunately, I was not very cautious and by the time I saw all my bites it was too late. St Lucia is a beautiful place , but just a heads up re : mosquitoes. They are also in soufriere and everywhere - Sun flys, and sand flys. They like to bite at bottom parts of your legs. I spoke to another tourist, she mentioned she forgot to rub her legs w baby oil on the day we both felt we were getting bit( you can not see some kinds of mosquitoes, they are really small). I never tried , I had none . So research , what natural repellent might work as well. I asked a room keeper, what can be done in the room, she offered to spray some repellent around bottom of bed and washroom areas in the room. I felt more at ease once that was done. Keep your self covered with sheets at night when sleeping, I woke with New bites in the morning. Maybe a mesh over bed would help. However, my husband had far less then I . When I was there , I researched online and I found out that they are attracted to different kinds and types of scents. I am just giving a heads up, that is all. I hope this information helps and enjoy St Lucia! 😁

    The electricity went out several times (the breaker tripped) because of a faulty toaster or electrical outlet. Loud talking and laughing from a room nearby.

    The breakfast was not the best, although you can't fault the effort. Just before aware finding dining options in the evening in the region is difficult so make use of the cooker!

    The hotel is situated in a very beautiful spot above the town of Soufrier. If you have a car then it is a perfect location with beautiful views of the Pitons and is small and peaceful.

    Our first ever visit to Soufrière (and St Lucia!) so we took a gamble on Samfi Gardens - we did not regret it! Check-in was easy. We hired a car, but there's space to park. The room was very spacious and had everything we needed. The bed was massive and very comfy. You could hear a lot of wildlife noise at night, which was beautiful. The view from the room, balcony and pool are phenomenal. You can see the beautiful coloured rooftops of the buildings of Soufrière, the beach, the sulphur spring, the two Pitons... everything. Felt very blessed to see such beauty. The staff we dealt with with all lovely as well. I can't recommend this place enough.

    Honestly not a thing, my only regret is not staying for longer.

    Absolutely everything, from start to finish! Finding the property was easy, the location & view was breathtaking! The room was spacious, clean, good kitchen facilities, comfy bed & hot shower along with a good sized balcony. I requested a Birthday surprise for my partner & the staff went above & beyond to accommodate this & my partner felt very special, even lighting candles when we arrived. The location & view of the hotel exceeded my expectations! I noticed others had commented about parking & although there are only a couple of spaces, we managed to find space parking to the side with plenty of space for other cars to do the same. This did not bother us, we understand the geography cannot be changed so easily & is part of the island. I can’t wait to return to this hotel & throughly enjoy it!

    The very best views of the Pitons 😁 in the whole of St Lucia

    Some have written negatively that you need a car to stay at Samfi Gardens, this is quite true but it is also quite obvious from the listing so shouldn't be a negative 😂 The short road into the hotel is very rough and is the only thing I thing the owners should attend to, it really doesn't need to be this rough. Like the whole of St Lucia if you are hiring a car make sure it is a 4x4 you will need it.

    Pretty much everything, our Honeymoon Suite was larger than it looks in the photos, the bed was huge, good wardrobe space, nice spacious kitchen and a decent sized bathroom. The main attraction though is the view from the balcony and all rooms of the Pitons, Amazing. All the staff were happy smiling and helpful, especially Brian the security guard who was always in evidence and had something nice to say when we arrived back from dinner, you got the impression that he had eyes on everything and you would be very safe at night. The ladies in the office were also very happy and friendly and suggested our favourite beach, Paradise Beach, we wouldn't have found it without them. Samfi Gardens is not a 5* AI resort and doesn't claim to be and you will not be paying 1,000's of £ a night to stay there but it certainly have the very best view of the Pitons in St Lucia and everything it does do it does very well

    Bed didn't support you enough. Sagged into it. The track up to the property, could do with some repair.

    One of the best views in the World. Stunning! Infinity pool was lovely to use with the same stunning views. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good sized room and facilities. Great shower and bathroom. Good kitchenette with free tea, coffee, milk.
