In this review of Villa 7, on the rooftop terrace, Ronda and John say that it is “A great place to stay in Castries”. “With cable TV, AC and ceiling fans, washer, dryer, iron, and board – it is easy to just settle right in and feel at home.” And they loved the welcome basket of organic fruit and veg fro poinsettia own garden. “Most important for us, as this was a working trip, they also have very good and fast wireless! On our downtime, we loved the pool and the great views from the huge terrace overlooking Vigie Cove.”

Villa 7 is called the executive suite as its idea for business travel, close to the George F L Charles airport in Vigie and a step away from Castries, Government offices, and the business center.

The Executive suite, is one of the newer addition to the Poinsettia Resort family. It was originally kept aside for a community facility and was later made into the one-bedroom unit. It is popular with people on business trips, as noted above, and also with couples as it is quite charming and romantic. The walls between the bedroom and sitting area do not quite reach the ceiling giving it an open, airy, and funky feel.

Reviews

“It feels like home – Poinsettia apartment is for me the best place to stay in St. Lucia.”

“Amazing view of the bay and very close to the small airport George F Charles. It’s close to the city and the beach and everything. A very quiet place.”

“The unexpected extra was the lovely fresh fruit and vegetable from the garden.”

“The apartment was very relaxing and spacious with all the necessary amenities (swimming pool, air conditioning) Poinsettia is a peaceful haven.

It is very easy to walk to downtown Castries, and back. The management and staff were very friendly, and emailed me before my arrival with advice on things to do and arranged for someone to pick me up at the ferry terminal from Martinique. Before I left, they organized a taxi service to take me to the international airport and do a short tour on the way.”
