The view of the Pitons and the relaxing atmosphere.
The Crystals is exactly what it advertizes itself to be. For those you who are a little more independantly minded, quite and private in nature, who prefer to venture off and explore on their own and who enjoy a 4-5 star experience with million dollar views; than this off the beaten track gem is for you. The Owners and staff are very accomodating and respectful. They offer an array of services including a partnership with one of the cheapest (and friendliest) vehicle rental companies on the island. But what why the crystals truly justifies a 5 star rating (my only one consiquently) it its price. I honestly doen't kn ow how they manage such a low price point. Thank you Monica!!!
My wife and I stayed here on our honeymoon 10 years ago! We were looking online to see if they were still in business and were happy to see that they are. What a great experience!!! Can't say enough good things about our stay. It was perfect for us. Not your typical resort, but that's what we loved about it. We are hoping to make a return trip someday.
Such an amazing place. The villas are gorgeous and the staff are so friendly and welcoming I just had to give it 5 stars!
Crystals is built into the hillside, above the historic town of soufriere and offers eco-elegant, one of a kind cottages and villas, world class hospitality and gourmet, continental cuisine. All cottages have their own private pools, bbqs, full kitchens and AC rooms.
Visit Crystals for an enchanting stay, bask beneath the island sun, experience rich culture, wine and dine in excellent company and take home memories that will last a life time.
Another return trip to my favourite place. Crystals gets better and better. The ambiance, peace and fabulous views from each cottage are wonderful and the owners Monica and Martin are the perfect hosts. One couldn't ask for more. Thank you Crystals for your hospitality and making my holiday complete.
Crystals is a whimsical paradise. You will not find a place like it any where else. The staff is beyond helpful and friendly. Jessica will plan out a vacation that is perfectly suited for your personality. Monica will dazzle with her charming personality and honest suggestions. Martin will make you smile with a song and a cocktail.
We did not go here for our honeymoon though I wish we would have. Crystals is very romantic, exotic, and secluded. There are many different styles of villa, each with its own unique traits. Crystals has many different options to fit your budget or to fill the need for ultimate luxury.
Food is made from scratch and will be the best you have on the island. You pick your own breakfast time, and they deliver it right to your door with a smile.
Why settle for the cookie-cutter resorts when you can have a real Lucian experience at Crystals?! You will not be disappointed!
Crystals is an absolute dream..from the beautiful and tasteful decorated villas to the magnificent and breathtaking views and everything in between. We had the pleasure of staying in both the Papaya and Calabash Villa's. Each had their own unique character, personality and vibe. However, I must say the Calabash is very sexy and romantic perhaps its because of its deepened velvet red decor.
Not only are the villas beautiful and fantastic, so is the cocktail lounge, dining area and the various tree top lounging areas. There is such a warm, inviting and peaceful serenity surrounding Crystals, it is very hard not to feel a strong sense of comfort self peace.
Monica, Martin and Jessica are exceptional people.The connection was immediate because of their openness, sincerity, infectious laughter, and their true authentic and genuine character. My husband and I very much enjoyed spending time with each of them, and look forward to spending more time with them again one day, God-willing

We had dinner one evening during our stay, and to be truthful we wish we would have done many more. The food was fantastic. It was cooked perfectly, it was fresh and had an incredible amount of flavour. We thoroughly enjoyed the communal dining experience, it gave us an opportunity to meet other folks, and to hear about their St Lucia experiences, but at the same time we never felt like were committed.
Every member of Crystals staff that we had interaction with was fantastic. We were greeted with smiles, salutations and an overall feeling of being welcome.
We knew what we were getting into when we booked Crystals, because we did our research and so should you. What we got that we didn't expect, a renewed faith in people, in customer service, and a few new friends.
Just so folks know in case you overlooked these facts, the villas are located outside in the rain-forest, where it rains on occasion or a lot. Therefore, the forecast cannot be controlled, there is no on/off switch for the rain or wind or bugs or insects or frog noises..or anything else related to nature.
Despite the over overwhelmingly beautiful photos of Crystals, and the fact it exudes luxury and expenseThis place is not pre·ten·tious , so keep that in mind if you are expecting to behave or be treated like a royal (bleep).
It runs on rain water. It is not hard to figure out the pros and cons on that, and what, if any preparations you should make.
Wifi-if this is important to you while on vacation-(better you than me I guess.) However, Crystals has Wifi, but like any other island, any other resort it may from time to time have challenges, especially considering this beautiful and unique location, there is however, free community Wifi access in town if you really need it.
There is no need to lock your doors here.Enough saidI can't even do that in Canada..
If you don't know ask!! My experience with sending a list of questions prior to arrival was exceptional, thorough and timely.
We chose Crystals for the location to celebrate a very special and important milestone in our lives, our 25th wedding anniversary..and I would choose it over again. It was everything and more than we expected. All thanks to the Monica, Martin, Jessica and all the staff at Crystals.
