Samfi Gardens
$160-260/ notte
Prenota se Book this if you want million-dollar Piton views on a budget and don't mind trading resort amenities for a quiet, self-catered rainforest escape.
Perché piace così tanto
- Unbeatable panoramic views of the Pitons, Soufriere town, and the Caribbean Sea
- Quiet, private atmosphere away from the mega-resort crowds
- Spacious rooms with full kitchenettes and massive private balconies
In sintesi: You're paying for the view, not the luxury—expect a treacherous, pothole-filled driveway and basic room amenities, but the scenery makes it entirely worth it.
Recensito da @nataliaporelmundo: My stay at Samfi Gardens was unforgettable. The moment I walked out onto the balcony and saw the Pitons and the ocean, I was speechless. The infinity pool is just as amazing as it looks. If you want a quiet, beautiful escape in Soufriere, this is it.

FAQ e consigli nascosti
Tutto ciò che vuoi davvero sapere prima di prenotare.
Is there a restaurant on-site?
No, but they offer a pre-ordered breakfast that is highly rated, and there's a small convenience shop for basics.
Do I need to rent a car?
Yes, highly recommended. Taxis add up quickly, and the hotel is up a steep hill away from town.
Is the pool heated?
No, it's a refreshing, unheated infinity pool, which feels great after a hot day of hiking.
How bad is the drive up to the hotel?
It's notoriously rough. The last stretch is an unpaved, steep, pothole-filled track—renting a 4x4 is strongly advised.
Are the rooms air-conditioned?
Yes, the bedrooms have excellent A/C to keep you cool during the humid St. Lucia nights.
Is it walkable to the beach or town?
Technically yes, but it's a very steep, sweaty hike back up. You'll want to drive.
Suggerimenti degli Insider
- ✨
Book a table at Treetops Restaurant (just up the road) weeks before your trip—it's incredible but always booked out.
- ✨
Ask the front desk for a mosquito net for your bed if you plan on leaving the windows open for the breeze.
- ✨
Buy your groceries at the large supermarket in Soufriere before you check in so you don't have to navigate the hill twice in one day.
