Apartment Espoir

We just returned last night from staying at Hotel Espoir for 25 days. The property is set in a very beautiful garden on a hillside. The patio from our studio had a view of this tropical oasis and the aqua colored Caribbean sea with St Lucia's town of Castries in the distance. Our morning coffee every day had this view and it was priceless. Added to this was a small pool to dip in if you got too hot and an ocean as warm as your bathtub you could swim in less than 5 min walk away down steps and a hill. The clean room and kitchen in the studio was well stocked with necessary utensils and we were able to cook anything we wanted. Small grocery store was within a 15-20 min walk away down a hill then level most of the way. The property owners, Keith and Sabine, were warm and friendly. They were willing to help you out with whatever came up! I will miss their open friendliness and many kindnesses! So if you decide to go, go with a spirit of adventure and do explore using the local transportation which was easy to get around in to local areas.

The hillside position of Apartment Espoir over looking the Caribbean Sea provides stunning views however for travellers with mobility issues it should be noted the postion could be challenging both on the grounds and walking to and from the beaches below. A rental vehicle or willingness to hire taxis to get around would be strongly recommended. The local "mini-busses" are numerous and very inexpensive. Finally the proprietors are very knowledgeable, extremely helpful and ; like all St. Lucians; warm and friendly. Two thumbs up.

Great place to stay in St Lucia. Indeed a short 3 min walk to the local beach and a small but nice pool on the property. It’s an apartment so don’t expect high end luxury. Terrain around is steep and rocky so I recommend sneakers. But it’s lovely, clean, and well kept. The service is beyond amazing. Keith is awesome. I already promised I’d come back and stay here!

Great value

The views are spectacular.The room was simple but very clean and had everything we needed, Keith and Sabina are great hosts. We got delayed on our way from the airport due to an accident, They not only waited for us but tried help in any way they could.

Lovely tropical gardens very close to beach nice apartments and great hosts.

Property is fantastic, the use of space is incredible, not overly fancy, but definitely charming. You get to feel right at home! LOCATION! WOW! easy walk to a breathtaking beach! Staff is not only friendly, but sincerely adorable! They will give you your space if you prefer privacy, but will be willing to share some time with you and chat if you want a little immersion in the local culture. I couldn't ask for anything better.

Apartment Espior is in a beautiful and safe location. Your view from the patio is breathtaking overlooking the sea, beautiful tropical trees and flowers, you watch the cruise ships pass by, it’s stunning! You can walk down to the beach or use their bus system, call a taxi or rent a car. I recommend either renting a car or calling a taxi. While you have a stunning view, a private pool, fire pit, and the property is beautiful it is a bit of a hike up and down all the stairs to get to the beach or a bit of a walk up hill if you walk from the street so if you can’t do that everyday I suggest renting a car. I would definitely stay there again! S & R Clark

Amazing place to stay and Keith makes the place even more special with his, nothing is a problem attitude. He arranged everything for us and always has a smile on his face. The local people are friendly and accommodating. Our apartment had everything you could need and was immaculately clean with the most stunning views. The terrain is a little steep in parts but didn’t cause us a problem.
