Fantastic guest house in St Lucia, a must-stay

Bhangazi Lodge is a lovely guest house in central St. Lucia. My room was large and clean with its own bathroom, a slider to the pool, TV, and a refrigerator. AC was excellent and they had power available even when the town power was out. Kettle in the room as well. They served a hot cooked-to-order breakfast which was included and delicious. Also coffee, tea and bottled water were always available. Walkable to the town and the beach, but at night you have to drive due to the hippos wandering the streets. There are a lot of restaurants very close. There is parking at the building behind a gate. Very secure. The host Simon was extremely knowledgeable about the area and what to see and do. I highly recommend staying here.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The Bhangazi Lodge is absolutely stunning for many reasons. The guest rooms are individually named, i.e. lion room, giraffe room, etc. and decorated accordingly. The rooms are spacious, with comfortable bed(s), nice furniture, luggage racks, and have individual bathrooms and patios. The common areas (living room and dining room) are meticulously staged with “safari” artwork, carved African animals, and unique decor. It truly is amazing, and makes you feel at home in St. Lucia. The breakfasts are made to order, and absolutely delicious. The portions can be small or large, and no one can complain about the never ending choices. The guests also have use of a refrigerator, which is labeled according to room, i.e. lion room! There is a common pool area with clean, warm water and plenty of room to spare along with well maintained gardens. Laundry can be done at a reasonable cost. Most of all, the staff is wonderful and deserve recognition for their attentiveness to details. Most of all, the hosts Mandy and Simon) should be awarded for offering such a wonderful experience to their guests. Mandy provides additional information on restaurants, things to do, and tours and goes out of her way to book them for you! Simon is the master chef when it comes to his famous stuffed omelettes with all the trimmings. We would not hesitate to come back again and definitely recommend staying there! Thumbs up to the Bhangazi Lodge, simply the best! Thank you for the wonderful memories!

We had a lovely room and bathroom and the whole guest house is excellent. Mandy and Simon are fabulous hosts and their only interest is that you have a good time. The cooked breakfast was one of best I have ever had. Without doubt we would choose to stay at the Bhangazi Lodge if we were visiting St Lucia again.
