Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The hotel was okay the only issue was:
They did not adhere to my request which was to combine the single beds into one.
I had to complain about it and it was attended.
Highly recommended. Hotel staff were friendly, helpful and polite. The room was great with air con. The staff refilled the complimentary in room coffee. Fresh bedding everyday. If you ask me this should not be a three star hotel. I give it five stars and I will definitely be returning next year.

Liked: Staff & service
Small rooms, no fridge and wifi only in the lobby. Was a more affordable option in the area staff was nice and breakfast was good. We could walk to restaurants and shops easily.
Great little place for a short stay. Very affordable price. Comfortable rooms. Pool access. Good breakfast included. Friendly staff. Definitely worth stopping at if in need of somewhere to stay in St Lucia whilst exploring surrounds.
Stopped 1 night whilst on safari, perfectly adequate
Shame the pool isn't maintained
Handy for all St Lucia bars, shops & restaurants.

Not so "Best Price"
Elephant Lake Inn was fine. Standard package tour accommodation with TV (few channels, no news) tea facilities and amenities. Unfortunately no fridge. Decent Wifi in lobby, though Hotels.com had it listed as in room. Only actual complaint is regarding Hortels. com price guarantee. Upon check-in, the hotel had us listed as Expedia clients with a nightly rate of 630 ZAR including breakfast. Hotels.com "Best Price Guarantee" price was 770 ZAR, a whopping 140ZAR per night difference.
The inn is in a good location, just around the corner from the eating places. Rooms were clean and comfortable. The staff were great and the breakfast was lovely. For a supposedly 3star rating it was excellent. I will definitely go back again.
