Description from owner

Description

BAMAMA COTTAGE is the perfect romantic getaway. The Cottage offers a private and relaxing retreat surrounded by Rain-forest trees and flowers. In the midst of this forest, at the edge of the cliff, is Paradise Pool.

BANANA'S 4-Poster Bed is draped in netting from Thailand and faces the ocean. The Sliding Glass Door opens onto the large balcony with those fabulous Sea Views. Large ceiling & standing fans guarantee your comfort. Constant trade winds make air-conditioning unnecessary. The bathroom features a Glass Block Shower, soft Cotton towels, and an In-Wall Hair Dryer.

BANANA COTTAGE overlooks the Caribbean Sea.

THE SEA VIEWS are unique and the Sunsets behind the pool are famous for their Green Flash sightings. The Waterfall fed "Paradise Pool" is 30ft long & 400ft above sea level. OUR TROPICAL BREAKFAST (optional, but delicious) is served Mon-Fri in the Palm-Villa and is $8/p. Our Breakfast is powered by strong coffee (& tea) and great food. We prepare the healthy fruits, bread & juices Caribbean Style.

BANANA COTTAGE is set within the largest Tropical Garden in Marigot Bay.

MARIGOT BAY has 2 Beaches & 4 Waterside Restaurants. We are on the west coast perfectly centered in the middle of the island. The writer James Michener famously called Marigot Bay "The most beautiful bay in the Caribbean".

ARRIVING AT NATURE'S PARADISE: We need to know your airline and arrival time. Anthony (Taxi) can pick you up at the airport. He will have that sign with your name on it. You will be arriving at Hewanorra Airport in the south of the island; the fare is $95 and takes 80 minutes. As you drive up the East Coast of St Lucia, the scenery is often stunning.

We will greet you on arrival.

Relaxation - Adventure - Romance ...and great local food!

Getting around

RENTING A JEEP style car is the best way to get around the island. We can arrange to have a car-rental company deliver the jeep at about 9 am the next morning. It’s not just a vacation; it’s an adventure. You will need a jeep, and the desire to explore. Let us know what Jeep you want & we will arrange for its delivery. For those who don't wish to drive, we can arrange affordable transportation.

Interaction with guest

WE ARRANGE Rain-Forest tours & Volcano hot baths, recommend the best beaches for swimming & snorkeling; and we point you to trails where you can hike by yourself in the Rain-Forest. NATURE'S PARADISE IS set high on a hill with great views. Walking to the beach is about 15 mins. The famous La Bas Beach is on the north side of Marigot Bay. You access La Bas Beach by Captain Bravo's ferry, which runs 24/7. WE ENCOURAGE tasting and enjoying new foods. There are four great restaurants on Marigot Bay
