We stayed for 6 nights over Christmas at La Dauphine Estate in St. Lucia. It was a hidden paradise. The staff were fantastic with my children (aged 3 and 5) and were very helpful to us. The accommodation is not a resort type place, so if you are interested in that, don't book here. The house was extremely clean. It... more

La Dauphine Estate is an amazing place to stay. Antonia the housekeeper is fantastic, will cook you up loads of yummy local creole food for a very reasonable price, and make sure you know where all of the local attractions are. The estate house itself is nestled into a bit of rain forest on a working plantation in the mountains... more

La Dauphine Estate offers visitors the unique opportunity to experience life... more

Not only can she whip up some local cuisine, she can tell you how to get anywhere on want to go, or do any activities you wish to do. The house is very nice, has everything you need. We had the whole big... more

Well it's like a jungle setting, but you can still see the road from the front porch. What a thrill, to stay in this great house from 1890. Everything suggests the great history from that era. You are surrounded by fruit trees of all kinds, grapefruit, lemon, banana, cocoa bean. The greatest is the monster grapefruit that can be picked... more
