My wife and I stayed 1 night with a Hotels.com reservation. After an 50 minute night flight from Antigua, we waited for our confirmed hotel pickup. After 15 minutes, I called and the owner apologized and came immediately (driver was sick and there would be no US $10 charge) for the 1.2 km west to this hotel. Her nice granddaughter took our Visa payment, provided WiFi code, then showed us down to our ground floor Studio A. (Our confirmed Studio D had been given away by mistake to a late arriving group). We entered a small private patio to a simple but spacious room with a firm queen, 2 side closets, small wall TV with English cable channels, AC, fan and only one of the 3 lights worked. To the side was a small kitchen with table and 2 chairs, and further down, the bathroom with an odd vented bi-fold door and bare stall shower. We asked for toilet paper, a hand towel and 2 coffee mugs. The AC quit running during the night and we put on the fan which did not control the no see-ums. Our morning shower had no hot and very slow cold water. Our 7:30 AM patio breakfast included scrambled eggs with cheese, salad, 2 types of bread and coffee with a delightful view over the bay surrounded by tropical gardens. We could hear the waves gently hitting the shore and saw a plane coming in to land. At 8:15 AM, the owner kindly dropped us at the bus station on her way to town at no charge. We found this quiet friendly hotel a convenient stay for our after dark flight and a decent value at US$84 per night.

We are two young backpackers on a budget and Casa Del Vega was just perfect. The host was incredibly helpful and really cared about our safety, she drove us around when we needed it and helped us find contact information to other guesthouses on the island. We had the beautiful beach to ourselves with very good snorkeling. Also, the best place to see the sunset.

This hotel was absolutely incredible. It is in a gorgeous spot overlooking the beautiful sea. It was so peaceful. We just loved it. It was an amazing part of our trip to St Lucia. The staff was also so helpful with planning our tours. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful accommodation.

Casa Del Vega was recommended to us by another traveller. My fiance and I decided to try it out for one night and ending up extending our stay for 4 nights. If we had known of this property earlier we would have booked it for our entire stay in St. Lucia.
The location is great. You will probably need to rent a car because the property is on a hill however, we'd recommend renting a car anyway since the cab fares in St. Lucia are atrocious. There is a beach for snorkleing right at the property and Vigie beach is a 1 mintue drive away. This hotel is an ideal location if you want to travel all over the island. It's near the market in Castries, a quick drive to Rodney Bay or Gros Islet and very accessible to all the beautiful beaches between Marigot Bay and Soufriere.
The rooms were clean and nicely air conditioned which is rare to find under 100 USD/night. Our room was very large with a private washroom and large closet. In fact, we were the only ones renting in that area so we had the kitchen, living space and AMAZING patio all to ourselves. The view there was so beautiful that my fiance actually proposed to me on that patio... There was a common kitchen that we used to cook 1 - 2 meals a day which saved us a lot of money. We'd often cook breakfast and/or luch and enjoy it on the patio watching cruise ships come into dock. Luckily for us no one else was in this area so we used the kitchen and living space for ourselves. Evenings we usually went out of dinner. The toilets were a little finicky.
The ladies who worked there were so friendly and very helpful. At other properties we felt the owners were just trying to get as much money as possible out of us, however the Casa Del Vega staff were wonderful and helped make our stay that much better.
To give you some insight as to what kind of travellers we are: I'm 26 and my partner is 35 and we've travelled all around the world. We've outgrown hostels and we've done the all-inclusives many times before. We always felt like we never truly experienced the country and its culture at all all-inclusive. In St. Lucia, we were looking for activities and adventures not a fancy hotel with a medi-ocre buffet that you get bored of after two days. We wanted to meet real locals and fit into the culture there. To entertain ourselves at night we would either go out for dinner at a locale restaurant or just play Yahtzee and drink Rum on the patio - It was really great!
We highly recommend thisproperty to couples, families or singles looking to travel around St. Lucia. It's not an experience to be compared to an all-inclusive but it is perfect for those looking to experience the island and have access to lots of different activities - without breaking the bank.

My bf and I stayed here at the end of July to the beginning of August. We were celebrating our birthdays and our 1yr anniversary. I'm going to go ahead and get the hiccups out of the way. Ok, so I arrived at Hewanorra airport which is 1hr 15min away from the hotel location which is actually in Vigie NOT Castries as stated on hotels.com where I booked this stay and I let the owner know about this. The hotel is up the hill from Vigie airport. Speaking of being on a hill, sometimes it was difficult to obtain a bus ride into town as buses don't pass through there as frequently, one would have to walk down the hill and into town. Also, the description of our room was a little bit off from the pictures posted on hotels.com and I wanted to stay in studio B which is the larger studio. I can't tell you much about the property because I was only there mainly to sleep, but the owners were doing some repairs over our studio which was annoying sometimes and one day we returned in the evening and they turned off the water without giving us a warning. The owner's daughter gave us some explanation for this, but some notification would have been nice since the water pressure was already low at this facility. The room that we had could use remodeling. *NOTE: If you are from the U.S or other countries that use the two prong plug outlets you may need to bring adaptors as they still have the old outlets and there was only one adaptor in our room.* Now, St. Lucia is beautiful and I only stayed at this location because my bf stayed here a few years ago. Next time I think that I will either get the larger room here, but I will most likely try another places closer to Gros Islet or Rodney Bay because this is where most things are happening and we liked going to the casino in Rodney Bay and due to the fact that you have easier access to transportation. We ate at The Spice of India in Rodney Bay and the food was really good!

We stayed up on a hill at the outskirts of the city at Casa Del Vega, the cheapest guest house we could find online, at $70 USD. After getting a good lay of the land, I’m convinced that this is the only place in Castries to stay, and with good reason—It’s cheaper than your other options, there’s a beach ( locals) only a 15 minute walk away, the rooms are clean and have a common kitchen stocked with basic cooking utensils, there is a small and rocky (but lovely and secluded) beach behind the house where the snorkeling is good, and the service by Mrs. Compton and her assistant Paula is excellent.
Mrs. Compton provides a simple breakfast and dinner in the common area, for those who request it ($3 USD/$4 USD, respectively) and her cooking is pleasant. If you rent a car during your trip (check your life insurance policy), her guesthouse is a perfect midway point for your travels to Rodney Bay and Gros Islet (to the north) and Marigot Bay and Soufriere (to the South).
Mrs. Compton and Paula were so kind to us. I have very pleasant memories of this place. It is also a great location for meeting fellow travelers…the kind of people who don’t limit themselves to the borders of all-inclusive resorts.

Nice hotel, with an inspiring view. Clean and open. Marlyn, the owner was very kind and drove me to Castries for a meeting I had. The personnel was very friendly. Would stay there again. Close to the Castries Airport and the beach is walking distance.

I’m travelling for a month, mainly in the Caribbean. In all my travels this has been the worst experience. The welcome we got was hostile to say the least, clearly we were an inconvenience to the lady that runs the place. The room ....oh my.....there are no words. It looked like it hadn’t been redecorated since the early 1970s, the aircon didn’t work very well, the toilet was not clean and there was hair in the shower. We only had to stay one night before getting a ferry but otherwise I wouldn’t have stayed. If they charged half the price for these rooms it would still be overpriced. Get your view elsewhere!

Casa Del Vega is a beautifully located guest house that sits on sloping land on the Vigie peninsular overlooking the entrance to Castries Harbour. This gives you a view of fishing boats, yachts, ferries, cargo ships and cruise liners coming and going.The grounds are planted in a variety of local fruit trees and you access the sand and pebble beach via a stone staircase through this garden. The rocky underwater features should interest snorklers.
This is a family guest house developed and added to over the years so the rooms vary in size and 'here and there' location within the property. There are three small standard rooms that open out onto a passage/verandah facing inland without views. But guests here can use the main lounge and beautiful communial porch overlooking the bay and each one has a TV, a small fridge and electric kettle. There is a convenient cold water fountain in the main lounge.There are also four studios with kitchenettes and three apartments of two, three and five rooms each with kitchens.
I came for the weekend from a neighbouring island and had a good time. It was nice to start the day with a hearty breakfast with a choice of eggs, coffee, juice, meats and salad and cereal, prepared on one of the open dining areas by the charming hostess Marvlyn Compton who is a font of island information and advice.
Being in an up-market housing area it is quiet and peaceful with easy walks to the historic barracks and gun emplacements nearby and to the scenic Vigie lighthouse up on the hill. It may be too quet and out of the way for some, but you can easily order a taxi or rent a car to go to the more active spots if that's what you want. Or if you want an action-packed party time this simply may not be the place for you and you should be at Rodney Bay!
Walk about 400 meters to the French and Venezuelan Embassies and there is 'Friends Cafe' which serves great snack lunches and sandwiches. At my request they wrapped an order for me to have as dinner later on. A little further down the hill and you get to the airport terminal facilities and bar or try out the beach bars and swim on lovely Vigie beach.I actually did not go beyong this peninsular for the whole weekend, but then again I wanted peaceful relaxation!
Remember in your assessment that this is a family guest house, not a four star resort, and naturally the amenities are the simple essentials but they are clean and the small number of staff are polite and keen to help.

Pros: A/C excellent Shower excellent comfortable bed kind and accommodating owner value for money
Cons: possibly a little out of the way if you are in St. Lucia to sightsee (though a beautiful beach just down the road and pretty ruins, makes up for it in my opinion) WIFI doesn't work very well
I found this to perfectly fit what i needed. I was transitting in St. Lucia and needed a comfortable place to stay close to the airport. The room was comfortable and the A/C was wonderful. I did not have any problems with the water pressure or temperature in the shower, even when I took a shower in the middle of the night. The owner was a very kind lady who drove my partner and I to dinner and the airport the next morning. The view from the lounge was stunning though I am not sure that you can get a room with a view.

Hi Franca
There is no pool. Although it is beachfront its not really possible to bathe there as it is very stony...... maybe if you swim out a bit. There is a sandy beach within walking distance. It is the stretch opposite the Vigie Airport.
There is no microwave. You get a stove with oven, coffee maker and toaster
The owner will kindly take you to the supermarket if you need to go.
