Et ganske udmærket sted at overnatte en nat eller to. Der er hvad man har brug for i rene omgivelser. Møbler og senge er meget gammelt. Sengene er hårde. Meget høfligt og serviceminded personale som hjælper med hvad som helst.

Nous avons passé 2 nuits dans cet hôtel Les propriétaires sont très sympathiques Et ils nous ont réservé notre safari pour voir les crocodiles et hippopotames On y trouve une ambiance tropicale et très calme Il se situe à proximité des restaurants et petits magasins Le petit déjeuner est très bien

The Umlilo lodge is a very nice lodge. The owner is very helpful and welcoming. The grounds of the lodge are lush, clean and well kept. The pool is nice and clean but it was unheated and as we were there in the winter it was too cold to swim. Breakfast is great. Location is also very good. We were in a nice room that probably needs a little bit of updating but it was cozy and comfortable. All in all, I would certainly go back there and highly recommend it.

Mensen vriendelijk, maar basic lodge en zeker geen 4 sterren lodge. Dus prijs veel te hoog voor geleverde

Umlillo Lodge is perfect! Just a few steps from the small commercial area of St. Lucia, the lodge is beautiful, with a courtyard maintained as the areas environment of trees, etc, (with occassional monkey visits too). The room is beautiful, clean, contemporary. And delicious breakfast. We loved it here.

Logement impeccable avec très beau décor, piscine, petit-déjeuner buffet complet. Prises françaises. Très bon accueil à l'arrivée, personnel souriant (les cuisinières ...) Bonne literie, propreté, grandes chambres et salle de bain. Petit village avec station essence, un petit restaurant typique, la poste, supermarché, pharmacie, artisanat au bord de la route. Nous avons énormément apprécié cet endroit et aurions dû prévoir une nuit de plus (une seule nuit réservée). De plus, en rentrant le soir, hippopotame juste en face de l'hôtel mangeant tranquillement, que nous avons pu photographier (surtout ne pas utiliser de flash).
