  Wonderful host. Very knowledgeable, organized dinner reservations and gave tips each morning after a delightful breakfast of island activities. Highly recommend 💕

  Great location with awesome rooms. Be sure to rent a jeep and drive carefully, the roads are very rough. This place is quiet and peaceful.

  Nature's Paradise was an excellent AirBnB experience!
  We are 28 & 32 traveling on our honeymoon to St. Lucia from Vermont.
  
  We chose to extend our stay in St. Lucia to experience another part of the island, and we found Nature's Paradise, and we loved staying there!
  
  Hosts: David and Wanda are excellent hosts. David set up a cab to pick us up at our resort and take us to Nature's Paradise. He was there when we arrived and welcomed us and gave us a tour of the space. David was like our own personal concierge, we booked a tour with him, he made our dinner reservations, booked taxis for us, and even helped us out with rides up and down to the bay (and also to the airport when our taxi had car trouble) They are super knowledgeable, respectful, and helpful! Plus Wanda makes a great breakfast Monday-Friday mornings of breads, cheeses, fruit, fresh juice and coffee.
  
  Accommodations: The cottage (Banana) we stayed in was lovely. A small but well equipped kitchen, comfortable bed with high quality mosquito netting (although, we really didn't need any mosquito netting, the bugs weren't bad at all - but was good to have just in case.) TV with cable, etc. The landscaping, all done by Wanda, is stunning. You feel like you're in the middle of the rain forest. The pool was private and had incredible views. We spent a good amount of time there.
  
  Overall Location: Nature's Paradise is way up on a mountain ridge, so it's a solid 15 minute downhill walk to town (uphill on the way home, remember!) So while we didn't find a car necessary, if you plan to explore, renting a car may be worth it. Marigot Bay itself is a nice location on the island. More Marina than beach, but there are a few hidden beach spots if you ask David. There is a bakery/cafe and mini market that we used to stock up.
  
  Things to do: Rainforest hideaway was a great spot for dinner. This was the best restaurant we went to our whole stay.
  David's day-long excursion to the botanical gardens, mineral baths, lunch & volcano was $125 pp + lunch and entry fee and was totally worth it.
  
  Things to Note: Bring a North American outlet adapter if you need outlets in your room - otherwise they have them in the main house.
  Bar soap is provided in the bathroom, you'll need your own shampoo & conditioner
  Taxi ride to the airport is $95 US
  
  We would totally recommend this location to those visiting St. Lucia!
  
  Thanks David and Wanda for your amazing hospitality, and please visit us when you come to VT ;)

  Wonderful view, pool, breakfasts, location for day trips & gardens!! Our cottage was very clean, spacious & private. We loved the large private deck. We loved the proximity to all of the amenities of Marigot Bay. What makes this accommodation difficult is the very rough, steep, long ride up to it. We really had to plan our days activities to avoid having to go up & down more than once or twice a day. We enjoyed our morning round tables with our hosts & other guests where we shared our days activities & received assistance in planning the next days adventures. Our hosts were very helpful with making reservations and arranging activities. We have no regrets with our stay here; however would prefer if there is a next time to stay in a less challenging to get to location.
