Umlilo Lodge is a beautiful B&B with airy rooms including soft sheets, TV, and free wifi. The landscaping is gorgeous to look at while enjoying the delicious breakfast. The staff and hosts couldn't be more helpful and caring. Umlilo Lodge is walking distance several shops and restaurants, but located in a fairly secluded and quiet area. I highly recommend it!

I recently stayed at Umlilo Lodge for 2 nights, it was awesome. We were welcomed with a friendly smile and the service was great. The best part was the "Honesty Bar", where u just write down what you take and pay at the end. Such lovely accomodation and food. Would recommend this lodge to anyone wanting to stay in St... More

We stayed at the lodge for 3 nights in March and really enjoyed it. The furniture and set up is quite nice, althought could be a little more cared for. The owners are very nice and welcoming and we would definitely recommend it. PS: To the management-please be so nice an get ridd of the holes in the mosquito nets.

A very special hotel with an extraordinary design based around a central walkway system which wound around a number of tropical trees/palms. Very welcoming and attentive hosts who go the extra mile. Bedrooms have all normal facilities but we found that due to the use of dark woods for furniture ,ceilings and doors and the limited lighting in our bedroom... More

The Umlilo lodge hosts were such friendly people who made us feel at home. We stayed at Umlilo during our 3-days Safari, and the service and rooms Umlilo offers are of a very high standard. On the final day after our check out we could even make use of their showers and fresh towels before we hit the road again.... More

If you want to have an escape from daily routine and urban civilization and have a little peaceful paradise neighboring a real African wild life- Saint Lucia/Umlilo lodge would be the right place to choose. We stayed at Umlilo lodge for 5 days and I must say it was one of the most pleasant experiences. The lodge is owned by... More

We stayed for 3 nights just after Christmas and had the family room. The owners were very helpful and friendly. They provided plenty of guidance and help for us to get the most out of the area. The breakfasts were excellent. Perhaps the only quibble was the air conditioning in the room was noisy. However this did not detract from... More

We stayed at Umlilo Lodge over Christmas 2012. Whilst it was fine, I don’t think it was anything too special and am surprised by the reviews it has. On the positive, the rooms were comfy and breakfast nice, it is also set in pleasant gardens with a good pool. On the downside I would say that the rooms could do... More
