General view

To start, the Villa was blown away, gorgeous. It set the beginning of our trip off to a great start. 
The people were really friendly. Granted, most Caribbean island natives are very friendly to tourists since it’s basically their main form of income, but they seemed a little bit more genuine.

The main restaurant, The Cliff,  not only has spectacular views, but the food is really, really great. The chef definitely knows his stuff! Very tasty, healthy (or not) with a really great variety. 
The pool was beautiful and comfortable, and the idea that there were not that many people at the resort made it lovely. No cramping, crowding or loud noise and never a problem getting a great couple of chairs.  

The beach, while being small, was also very beautiful. For the most part, they do their best at trying to make it more of a private beach however, there are no private beaches on the island so they can only do so much.  

The Naked Fisherman at the beach was definitely good food. And while people say the steps down to the beach and back up from the beach are not a big deal, they really aren’t if you’re in pretty decent shape. However, I’m in pretty decent shape and going up after lying on the beach I was a bit winded and coming back down for dinner on the same night and back up the steps after drinking and eating probably wasn’t the best choice. 

We had made reservations at The Gazebo and The Rock not knowing that they were offshoots of The Cliff in just different settings. While I’m sure they’re wonderful and private, we liked the atmosphere of The Cliff itself with other people, terrific music (the piano player/ singer guy was better than most that play at The Carlisle; really good!) so we felt no need to splurge on the additional remote locations. 

We definitely weren’t on a budget and weren’t looking to cut corners. We opted for the non-all inclusive since we’re just not huge eaters or drinkers. The breakfast was so delicious and complementary and you could order anything. And we did. And by the time we finished we really weren’t hungry for lunch. For dinner, basically what we each had every night was an entree, a salad and we shared a dessert …with two drinks each. Top shelf drinks were additional on the all inclusive so I think we made the right choice. 
We were only there for five days and four nights. And being that the resort is two hours away from the airport and the flight takes about three hours, so the first day and the last day were pretty much travel days. 

That’s the only catch to traveling to St. Lucia. The airport is very far away from the resorts. That’s to be expected because of the geography of the island. And it’s the geography of the island that makes the place so remote and beautiful. But you need to travel a distance to most resorts. CapMaison is at the southern tip of the island, therefore it’s furthest from the airport. So if you can make your travel from and back to the airport more of a sightseeing day, then maybe it won’t be as taxing. It’s very cool being at the tip of the island where the Atlantic meets the Carribean and once you’re there, it’s phenomenal. We took the ferry to the resort from the airport and the views were beautiful and we took a private taxi on the way back. So we did get to see the resort from the Caribbean side on the water Atlantic side in a taxi.
For the most part, both were great options for sightseeing,.. Our taxi driver, Kimbert 1 (758) 489-1976 was noteworthy awesome. So sweet and so informative. He was savvy enough to get in touch with us to let us know we would need to leave a little earlier on Friday because it’s when the cruise boats come in, therefore we would need to take a more local route to avoid hitting the tourist traffic. It was cool. We saw some of his friends as he honked and waved. So it was really like a nice sightseeing day. Private taxi with air conditioning. And quite nice…for the first hour/ hour and a half.

So the transportation to and from the hotel is definitely long and after the first hour or an hour and a half you may wanna die, but that’s the trade-off to get to a really beautiful place!

Note, the hotel could definitely use a better gym. The equipment was old and rusty.  It would also have been nice to have a bar with appetizers that opened at around 4 PM.

But overall, this place is really beautiful. The food is delicious. And our Villa was stunning. I loved hearing the crickets and the birds at night (even through the air-conditioning and the closed doors) It’s like being in the amazon jungle. I did see someone once said there was a problem with mosquitoes. We had no problem with mosquitos or any bugs. They had mosquito repellent everywhere for you to usebut we really didn’t need it,  so I think they took care of it. When you wake up and open your doors, the little love birds come right up to you. There’s really no need to go off the resort if you’re there for a shorter time. I would think if you were there longer, you would want to venture out. 

Definitely a great trip! And we will go back!!

Soup to nuts review

For the first time ever we stayed at Cap Maison for an entire week. 

As my husband quoted , “it was a beautiful and moving experience”! 

 We had a nice villa near the courtyard pool where we had stayed before so we felt very much at home… air con in the bedroom worked well and the sitting room was cool with a nice breeze. 

It was spotlessly  clean too. We had just come from a resort that had a nasty bug  going around so the constant wiping down of surfaces in the public areas using spray plus individual antibacterial handsprays provided for the use of the guests was very reassuring . . We made full use of those! 

Fortunately the “lurgy” had not made it to the hotel so many happy families socialising and a great atmosphere particularly during the Managers Cocktail party where the GM and senior staff were present and there was a fun duo playing at the entrance to the Cliff. Generous drinks and lethal rum punch on offer . 

Due to room availability and Owners being in residence, we had to move a few times but this was well handled by Lee and his colleagues - keeping our “transfer times” to a minimum. To my amusement  we had the welcome rum punches  in each one we were transferred to - with nutmeg this time :/) 

Thank you Roger!

All the staff made us feel very welcome. It would be quite a roll call to list them here but great to see so many familiar faces, some of whom were new to the resort a few years ago and well established now. 

It was interesting ~for me to see how the hotel coped when full.  The “Relais Chateaux status” effect? 

It was very busy on the Saturday night at the Cliff but great atmosphere and lovely to hear Rob Zi entertaining everyone. Thanks Rob for his great version of “Sway” towards the end of that evening which he dedicated to my husband and me - and Krista’s  wonderful singing. People got up and danced… so he played a few  more numbers… and they still danced! 

We saw Rob and Krista the next day too when they entertained at the Naked Fisherman. The new roof there is a great improvement and keeps the rain off effectively. 

One night at the Cliff I had the sea bream with fingerling potatoes and  veg. Tasted very fresh and served hot.

My Reef fish at the Naked Fisherman also v good (no bones) as were the seafood chowders, especially at the Cliff at lunchtime. Definitely a favourite as were the shrimp clear spring rolls and the mahi mahi dish which was recommended to me. 

Breakfasts were good and I fell in love with the small creole bread rolls served in the evening. I now have the full recipe so will be trying it at home. 

Marmalade,  the restaurant cat,  would stalk our table and sit down politely waiting for tidbits. He does not like marmite but ate everything else. 

All wines good bar one which we bought in the shop but it was quickly replaced. 

Beach service very efficient and I spent one great day with a beach chair and umbrella in the shade, and took out the hobie cat in quite squally weather with Dunstan looking after me. Keeshay also stood in the sea at one point for some time keeping an eye on the guests on a very windy day and personally helping me out of the water. He did this with some other guests too. 

I didn’t like the snorkels provided (so used my own) but the masks were excellent and of high quality…

On the last day the  breakfast juice was Sorrel. The staff did not know this was my favourite juice and I make it myself when I can get fresh Sorrel.  So that made me very happy. 

Checkout was efficient and bills accurate. 

Our Taxi driver, Paul, took us down to the South of the island to the Soufriere area. Lots of milling on the road half of which was done and half not. Rough surfaces, potholes and a very steep hill at the end of our journey.. He drove very carefully and has a charming  sense of humour. He made our long drive and absolute pleasure. We would certainly use him again.

Thanks to Ross, Robinson, Harvey, Gracie, and the entire team for a wonderful stay. Our first time staying an entire week but not our last. I will have to start saving for our next stay..

Our first full week at Cap. Wonderful.

We have just returned from a weeklong stay at this beautiful hotel.

After a very underwhelming trip to St Kitts last year, we hoped that St Lucia would restore our faith in the Caribbean for winter sun and it certainly did! 

From the wonderful welcome and gorgeous room through to the two excellent restaurants and friendly staff we could not have asked for more. Cap Maison is deserving of its five stars and we will return!

Five star experience.

This truly is a place of jaw dropping beauty with world class service with a smile. What made it even better is we got upgraded to a suite with a pool for half our stay. We were on a half board package which helped us enjoy the fantastic and varied food. The seafood in particular was very enjoyable. The breakfasts are also a feast and the choice was incredible. 
The beach was a great place to relax and always managed to get a bed, but what I would say is don’t leave it too late to get a bed of choice as it gets busy. I also thought it a little disappointing that a 5 star of this quality doesn’t have a private beach and it does get busy with visitors especially at the weekend. 
This was a great place to stay, but please pay attention to the little things. The ac in our room wasn’t working and the toilet also had a leak. I would expect these types of things to be monitored and corrected before a room is occupied.
Also on our final night there was a valentines menu and on arrival I was shocked to see there was $50 extra charge per guest, despite being on a half board package. There had been no warning of this and being a resort on  Valentine’s Day it was impossible to venture elsewhere. To be fair when I complained they removed the charge, but in my mind should never have been there in the first place.
This is an exceptional hotel but please pay attention to the small points in future

Paradise with world class service, but watch the little things

Our five-night stay in mid-February at Cap Maison was fabulous.  It was our third visit in three years and we were just as impressed on this stay as we were the first one.  The cleanliness, attention to detail, service with a smile, and the outstanding food, which are the hallmarks of Cap Maison, were all present throughout our stay.  Our Valentine’s Day dinner at The Cliff was one of the finest meals ever. Exquisite would seem to be an appropriate term.  It is a unique, laid-back atmosphere, but an incredibly relaxing and beautiful environment.  The food at both The Naked Fisherman and The Cliff is outstanding.  Breakfast in the morning is one of my favorite things. Sitting there looking over the Caribbean Sea with the light breeze and selecting from an amazing array of menu items is nothing short of wonderful. While the relaxed atmosphere may not be what everyone is looking for, it is an absolutely amazing place to escape, relax, be pampered (spa is great too), and get away from it all. The small boutique model seems uncrowded, quiet and secluded.  Beautiful landscaping gives an added sense of privacy.  We are already planning our next visit. Tricia is great with reservations and making sure you have what you want and need and Ross, as manager, wants every guest to be happy.  Five stars in every category.
