About St.Lucia: In the eye of the tourist beholder, St Lucia is an archetypal island paradise. Its most dramatic scenery is in the south, where the twin volcanic peaks of the Pitons rise sharply from the shoreline to form distinctive landmarks. Much of the island is rural in nature: small coastal fishing villages give way to a hinterland of banana and coconut plantations folded within deep valleys topped by rich, mountainous jungle. The rugged terrain continues beneath the sea in a diving heaven of underwater mountains, caves and drop-offs and the coastline is pocketed with secluded coves and beaches made for one (or, naturally, for two at sunset). A spate of developments on St Lucia has made this high, green island one of the Caribbean's most fashionable destinations, but it's still a long way from being sanitised and overdeveloped.

Getting Around: Taxis are plentiful at the airports. Always establish the fare with the driver before you get in. St Lucia is only 44km (27mi) in length and 23km (14mi) in width, but its hilly terrain can slow you down. There are car rental agencies at the airports and at Rodney Bay. Unless you have an International Driving Permit, you'll need to purchase a local license, which can be picked up from immigration at both Hewanorra International Airport and Vigie Airport. If you don't get a license on arrival, most car rental companies will either issue one. Remember to drive on the left.

Terms and Conditions: 1. The payment procedure is 50% non-refundable deposit to confirm booking. 2. Balance 45 days before arrival 3. All payments by certified check or direct bank transfer 4. Rates include all taxes 5. Cancellation policy : The guest acknowledges that the initial payment is non-refundable. If the guest cancels the reservation after the final payment and we can rent to another party for the same dates/times/rate then 50% would be returned. However the guest understands and acknowledges that the owner has no obligation to re-reserve upon guest's cancellation. The cancellation may be cancelled by the owner in the event the property is withdrawn from rental and in that event our liability to the guest is limited to the rental paid to date and does not cover air tickets and other travel related costs,

Golf: There is an 18 hole Golf Course within minutes of the Villa. The new club house is luxurious, you have to see it to believe it and they do a reasonable lunch. Go visit, you don't have to play golf to be there. And if you do play, you get an electric golf buggy to drive yourself from hole to hole. You can rent clubs. They allow children on the Course too.
