I speak for everyone that attended when I tell you that
this was the best holiday we have ever had. Everything was wonderful.
The internet pictures
did not do your house justice.
It
was amazing. Roseline & Annette were so kind and we really enjoyed
them. They were a great help & so friendly. We have such wonderful
memories.
There is one thing I could suggest to make the trip perfect. Can
you figure out how to control the "cool Caribbean trade winds?"
We looked for them all week and they never arrived! (Just joking)
Thank you so much for everything. We will remember St. Lucia and
La Paloma fondly forever. If we ever have an opportunity to return,
we will definitely stay at La Paloma again.
All the best!

Dear
Valerie:
Just wanted to let you know that we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves
at your beautiful villa last week.
Everything
was just fabulous: the home, the views,
the weather, the food, and especially the warmth of Rosaline. It
was a magical vacation and one that we will remember for the rest
of our lives. Please accept our thanks and thank everyone who helped
make it so much fun!

When
we fist arrived a week ago we couldn’t believe we’d
be spending an entire week in such a majestic setting. From relaxing
and reading by the pool to getting drenched by rain at Jump Up,
a wonderful time was had by all.
Rosaline
was wonderful. Her warm hospitality was matched only by her fantastic
cooking. She would probably win the Cleanest Kitchen in the Caribbean
award if there was one. Annette was fabulous as her assistant, and
the gardens are ample evidence that the groundskeeper is a genius.
Marguerite was on to[ of the details the whole time.
Highlights:
-Rosaline’s rum punch, lentil salad, curried shrimp, cristophene
pie and coconut carrot cake
- Grilling fresh fish (ask Rosaline where to find the fish tree!)
- Barre de L’isle trail, lots of stairs, but beautiful
- Chillin’ at Villa La Paloma with family
Thanks
for everything everbody at Villa La Paloma. We hope to return to
St. Lucia many times.

Thank
you so much for such a delightful vacation with my children and
my parents.
Not
only was LaPaloma more than I had hoped for but your country is
absolutely beautiful. The people were friendly and the experience
priceless.
Roseline
and Annette were wonderful. They always were friendly and helpful
serving yummy food and the house was always clean. It enabled me
to have my time to spend with my loved ones and didn't have to worry
about the rest.
Working
with you has been a pleasure, I wish you all the best. Thank you
for the great book, I noticed that LaPalome is mentioned in it.
A million thanks to you and your crew for making our vacation a
memorable one forever.

Villa
La Paloma was just as pretty as the whole island. There's
lots of fun stuff to do on the island like scuba, helicopter, horse
rides, and just going to the beach. At Choc Bay we even rented water
bikes! The rainy season isn't
as bad as most say, it was really sunny. And thanks to Annette for
keeping the place clean.
P. S. It was neat when tiny birds would fly into the kitchen and
den.

Our
stay here at Villa La Paloma in St. Lucia was wonderful! My personal
favorites were the horseback, Froggie Jacks (restaurant), and the
helicopter tours! Rosaline's peanut butter cookies were delicious!
Thanks Annette for
keeping the house clean! You were very nice! Too bad our stay here
couldn't be longer!
P.S. Choc Beach & Anse Lavoutte & Smugglers Cove were awesome
beaches! (Claudius is cool!)

There
are times in our lives that we see glimpses of Heaven right here
on Earth, and St. Lucia is certainly one of them, as well as my
family for inviting me on this wonderful Holiday!

We
arrived late at night and the door was locked but being from Newcastle
we couldn't be foxed for there was the key under the mat so we let
ourselves in and that was that!
The
table was set and the food prepared red wine in the cupboard, ye,
yes, we were spared! We were all so very knackered we went
off to bed very well watered and very well fed.
On
Saturday morning Rosaline arrives
and after breakfast she goes with us to get supplies. She has cooked
and cleaned and seen to our needs "May we have a coffee, 2
teas and perhaps some water and some cake and cheese"? "By
the Pool, if that's ok?"
But a "please" we never forgot to say
As we'll need you again later today.
But
we had such a laugh when our Valerie
left her "smalls" in the linen basketry
and like the Angel she is, Rosaline
sent them all back nice and clean
"The cheek of it!" we all thought
but Rosaline made sure she wasn't caught short!
We've
had such fun, and laughed till we cried
and we're so very pleased this villa we tried.
We'll be back if you'll have us, so just let us know and we'll save
like mad to escape the British snow.
Val
(no. 2) thinks the punch is so very more sum She'll have to get
shares in Bounty Rum
The fish and the meat and the veg and the rice, the cakes and the
puddings were all very nice! We're all very relaxed and much fatter
too so we'd just like to say a very big THANK YOU!!!

Villa
La Paloma - everything we could have imagined and more! 4
single ladies coming together to renew our friendships and our spirits
- little did we know that our stomachs were included!! We couldn't
have chosen a more relaxed, peaceful, beautiful, warm environment!
Took in some of the Jazz Festival, loved the rainforest and the
Catamaran - most of all love Villa La Paloma.
After
our immersion into Roselines lovely cooking, we only ventured out
for dinner one night. In fact, we were completely content to enjoy
the pool, the verandah, the food and ambiance of Villa La Paloma.
A
venture out to the studio of Danielle Jean Baptiste is a must. We
are taking home some beaufull orginal artwork.
Loved
being pampered and taken care of by Annette's quiet magical assistance.
We totally loved being pampered and truly free to just enjoy St.
Lucia. Even the occasional rain storms were refreshing and beautiful
from the verandah.
Love
to all Villa La Paloma's folks - Val, Ross, Roseline, Annette and
Iain. From (as Rosaline puts it), The Fantastic Four.
P.S. Thanks Val for all your help and coming in setting us up with
our tours, the jeep, Danielle, Balenbouche and everything. You made
us feel so welcome and taken care of. All of your recommendations
were wonderful. We felt like family. Special thanks to Ben for his
great service with the jeep too.

Villa
La Paloma is the reason we were married yesterday in St. Lucia.
It was the perfect setting to bring our two families together
- many laughs, games, and warm discussions about our lives together.
Roseline is a great example of the warmth and happiness we experienced
with the St. Lucians. Your country is beautiful and we feel our
wedding here is a good omen for a marriage filled with years of
happiness.
Thank
you for your wonderful hospitality at Villa La Paloma. We look forward
to spending many anniversaries here!
Warm regards,
Mr.

What
a great holiday! We have really been spoilt by Roseline
& Annette taking care of everything (especially us!). This is
certainly one of the best villas that we have stayed at anywhere
in the world and the view is without compare. Thanks for letting
us stay here and once again for looking after us so well.

WEDDING
IN PARADISE = VILLA LA PALOMA.
When
we decided to get married in St. Lucia we never imagined that we
would find such a picture perfect place for our wedding. The ceremony
was performed as the sun set on the patio by the pool. It was indescribably
beautiful. The sound of the surf and chirping birds provided the
music and the sky turned into a backdrop of blue purple & pink.
I never imagined that I would get married in such gorgeous surroundings.
Our
wedding guests remained at Villa La Paloma with us for the whole
week. Roseline and Annette were exceptionally gracious. They made
everyone feel welcome and comfortable. We will surely return to
Villa La Paloma on our anniversary again & again!!
