I quickly felt at home in the uniquely designed cottages surrounded by tropical gardens. The option of daily breakfast and dinner in the 180-year-old Plantation House was unparalleled. Being able to explore the property and meet the animals added a delightful touch to my stay.

Tranquil and peaceful estate with lovely gardens and water lily ponds. Charming cottages scattered amongst trees and shrubs. Delicious breakfast presented with style. Excellent evening meals, including a huge buffet spread. Warm and welcoming hosts who provide helpful assistance. Quaint and delightful cottages with natural air conditioning. Beautiful plantation house that transports you to another era. Friendly and informative security/handyman. Immersed in nature with beautiful grounds to explore. Patient and accommodating hosts who assist with travel plans. Good internet access. Lovely dogs on the property.

We had the best time exploring the property and taking personal tours. It was so cool to learn about the history of the estate and see all the old structures. The two fishing villages nearby, Laborie and Choiseul, were also awesome. We found everything we needed there, like supermarkets, a hardware store, and even an ATM. The local vibe was so much fun!

The only thing we would have asked for is more nightlife options for young party-goers. We had a blast during the day, but it would have been even better if there were more places to hang out and dance at night.

We had the best time exploring the property, which has been in the family since forever. The beach was only a short walk away and we loved chilling there. Laborie and Choiseul were lit with supermarkets, hardware stores, and even ATMs. We felt like locals, living it up in these fishing villages and having a blast!

The only thing we would've liked is if there were more options for young party animals like us. We're always up for a good time and it would've been awesome if there were some cool clubs or bars nearby where we could have partied the night away.

Amidst the lush tropical gardens and ancient trees, our bungalow provided a serene escape. The Asian-inspired design transported us to another world, where our indoor and outdoor showers felt like a luxurious indulgence. We truly felt immersed in nature, yet with all the comfort and privacy we needed.

No nearby dining options.

The food was exceptional, utilizing fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The property provided great opportunities to connect with nature. The owners were welcoming and attentive, providing helpful information and engaging in friendly conversation. The cottages had a charming, rustic feel and were equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The overall experience left a lasting impression and a desire to return.

As trekkers and a group of friends, we absolutely loved the peaceful and tranquil atmosphere of the property. The beautiful beaches, lovely pets, and amazing hosts made our stay even more enjoyable. The whole grounds and cottage were absolutely magnificent, providing us with a true home away from home experience.

Felt super comfortable, nothing was too much trouble.

This bungalow is beautifully designed with a touch of Asian inspiration, creating a unique and tranquil atmosphere. The outdoor shower in the bathroom adds a refreshing twist to the usual indoor shower experience. The two bedrooms provide ample space for a comfortable stay, ideal for families or groups. The kitchen is well-equipped, allowing guests to prepare their meals and enjoy the convenience of a home-cooked meal. The private veranda is a lovely spot to relax and unwind, providing a peaceful and intimate setting.

Personally, I found the outdoor toilets a bit inconvenient, but some guests might enjoy the outdoor experience.

Spent an amazing Christmas at this eco-resort! Loved the delicious and healthy meals, especially the rum punches with fresh fruit. The yoga sessions in the barn were rejuvenating. The comfortable cottage had swings where I could relax and reflect. The ecological energy of the place was simply mind-blowing.

The website should have mentioned that the rooms are simply furnished and don't have air conditioning. Also, bugs can be bothersome for some guests.

Tranquil and peaceful estate with lovely gardens, ponds, and historic ruins. Individual cottages scattered amongst trees and shrubs. Enjoyable meals with fresh, local ingredients. Warm and welcoming hosts. Truly a haven of tranquility.

We did personal tours of the property which has been in the fam since forever, and it was so cool to see all the history and stuff. Then we hit up the fishing villages of Laborie and Choiseul and found everything we needed - supermarkets for snacks, a hardware store for random stuff, and even an ATM for some cash flow. It was lit!

The only thing we wished for was more nightlife options for us young party animals. We had a blast during the day, but it would've been even more awesome if there were some cool clubs or bars nearby where we could dance the night away.

I had the most incredible experience staying at this hidden gem in Laborie. The charming cottages, set amidst lush gardens, gave me a sense of stepping back in time. The estate itself is steeped in history and exudes a romantic ambiance that is hard to find elsewhere. The close proximity to a beautiful and serene beach made my stay even more idyllic. But what truly made my time at Balenbouche Estate unforgettable were the admirable and sweet women who work tirelessly to maintain its authenticity. Their dedication and warmth added an extra layer of charm to the entire experience. I hope that this place, filled with so much history, continues to be a backdrop for beautiful stories.

Stayed at Balenbouche Estate for a true St Lucian experience. Relaxing atmosphere with beautiful secluded beaches and colorful surroundings. Rustic cottages with a homey feel and fully equipped kitchen. Owners, Uta and Verena, were kind and welcoming and provided great assistance. The food was amazing, made with local ingredients. Great access to nature and a wonderful community.

Everything great.

A hidden gem with stunning grounds, friendly hosts, and a rich history. We loved exploring the ruins and enjoying breakfast on the veranda. Truly a peaceful retreat filled with photo opportunities. we highly recommend Balenbouche Estate Villa for a unique and memorable stay.

The bungalow at Balenbouche Estate was a dream come true for me as a light sleeper. The Asian-inspired design created a tranquil atmosphere that allowed me to have a peaceful and restful stay.

Personally, I found the outdoor shower at the bungalow a bit inconvenient. But hey, some people might enjoy the experience!
