The still beach house was a great stay. The amenities are basic but it has everything you need. Michelle was nice and helpful and seashells was the best price for great food we found in all of Soufriere. The views were amazing, the wifi was fast for working remotely, and the house keeping staff was so sweet. Captain Peter provided us with awesome excursions. Definitely recommend staying here.

The Still Beach House probably has the best view in Soufriere, just stunning! Location is right on the beach at the west end of Soufriere, and most restaurants and some smaller shops are in walking distance. Michelle was great and very helpful with anything we needed.

The still Beach house is very close to shopping and a lil bar right next door. If you’re looking for a quiet place, this is not it! Tables and chairs are being moved around in the restaurant before 7 am. I don’t mind music but if you are an early to bed kind of person, loud music from bar and boats at least until 10p and mostly til midnight! I didn’t mind. Loved the staff but didn’t appreciate waking up to no breakfast before a 6hrs tour. No apologies or suggestions either. Restaurant and hotel are not affiliated so no room charges, no lounge chairs on beach and sand is hot. The beach in front of the still is beautiful, clear and refreshing! I enjoyed my stay. Annette, the housekeeper, is the best and a fountain of information. Other than Annette and security there are no other hotel employees ☺️ would I go back to the Still? I would but would better prepared!

Vacation Getaway
We loved our stay at the Still Beach House the location was in walking distance to downtown and a lovely beach bar. We had dinner at Seashells a few times as it was right down stairs. The view was amazing we loved sitting out on the deck. The room was clean and the air worked great. The shower hook ups were interesting but didn't keep you from getting a shower so not a issue for us. The beds were harder than I prefer but that is always a thing with travel. I would totally stay here again! Sorry about the photos I only had a video so had to screen capture.

Dated room with some issues
Quite a strange place. We'd apparently been moved to a larger room with a kitchen but the toilet didn't flush and the tap didn't work in the bathroom. The netting round the bed was very old and discoloured and everything was very dated. The (I presume) owner was very friendly though and introduced himself at breakfast then arranged a taxi for us to the airport. Just feels like these rooms which are above a restaurant are a bit neglected, which is a shame because the view from the balcony is stunning. A little tlc and updating would go a long way.

View was top, swimmable beach. Good restaurant there for Soufriere i think, but not cheap, bed was nice...firm but soft. It was fine for our first nite in St Lucia. Arrived in dark, hard to find but locals provide direction. Restaurant was good atmosphere, food acceptable, saved us having to go to an unfamiliar town place. Walk to Soufriere main area, all services there. Perhaps the only decent breakfast in town. Overall a good choice to experience authentic Soufriere town.

Anicia and the entire staff were so friendly and helpful, The breakfast they served us on our balcony every morning was absolutely incredible! WiFi did not work. We occasionally ran out of hot water.

The hotel is built into the side of a mountain and the parking lot is on top so it's a 3-story stairs to the bottom level (no provisions for the handicapped). At the beach level is a small bar and an open eating area. On the second level are 5 2-room suites which reminded me of a lake cabin in northern Minnesota - very basic. A large combination kitchcen/living room and a bedroom separated by the bathroom. The facility could use some upgrades. The lighting was inadequate; shelves were missing from the fridge; the balcony furniture was uncomfortable and worn. But it was clean and the bed was comfortable. Even thou it was clean, we did see two cockroaches which were almost dead so the must me some type of control. The 'included' breakfast was very limited - some fruit and bread which had been passed over the top of a toaster and a small serving of scrambled eggs (which were pretty good). Lunch was buffet style and not bad. Lots of variety and tasted fine. The eating area gets quite crowded because tour groups stop there for lunch. Can't comment on dinner because the chef had quit and dinner was not served.

We paid in full in November 2018. We spoke to David to arrange transport from the airport two days before arrival in Feb 2019. It was left to the taxi driver from the airport to break the news that we were being dumped to the Hummingbird, and the hotel was overbooked. So we never got to see the facilities, the room or the restaurant despite paying for a 3 night stay. The Hummingbird though was, adjacent, excellent and very accommodating. Their restaurant was excellent. I will always book the Hummingbird in preference, and if our experience is anything to go by, if you book the Still Beach House you risk having paid for nothing and being dumped into adjoining accommodation with no notice.

We try to be environmentally friendly and in the tropics most homes have solar panel hot water systems but in order for the hot water to get to your faucet in the room the water has to be running for about a minute plus. Nonetheless, we apologize for the inconvenience.

Breathtaking view of Petit Piton. Right at the beach. When we arrived, no one was there to check us in. There is no reception desk. Tried to call the number shown on the reservation confirmation email but no one answered. Our taxi driver noticed a sign outside with the phone number (different from what we indicated on the confirmation email) and phoned that number. Only then did a housekeeping staff and security showed up and let us in one of the rooms. The plumbing made noise at interims throughout the day and night. The TV was broken and did not work.

Although the location is stunning, it is quite a run down B&B where you see signs of neglect in the upkeep of rooms. The staff (very limited) tries very hard to be helpful but is constrained by having non management on premises. With a little bit of TLC this could be an amazing place to stay.

Awesome view of Petit Piton. Beach front with amazing snorkelling. Welcoming staff that made you feel like family. It was hard to leave after 10 days. We were mainly interested in the hiking and snorkelling but the Tour of the plantation with Thomas was an unexpected highlight of our trip. David’s (the owner) hospitality and willingness to share history of the island. Short walk to town to grocery store pharmacy bank and restaurants. Waliking dustance to Anse Manin. The hill is steep. Easy access via water taxi to other snorkelling areas.

We stayed at Still Beach House for our week long honeymoon and absolutely loved it. Our room had an amazing view of the Petit Piton and the Soufriere harbor. We had a two room suite with the bedroom being well air-conditioned and the other offering a nice breeze from the balcony. The main room had a full kitchenette which we were able to make breakfast and even a dinner on. The balcony had a gorgeous view and we enjoyed eating breakfast with a mountain view every morning. There is a lunch buffet and bar downstairs. We had some of our best times in St. Lucia at that bar with the amazing staff of the Still Beach House. We truly felt like family and really enjoyed talking to Jackie, Frederick, Kinnion, and several others. Our room keeper whose name I unfortunately can't recall right now was AMAZING!!! She not only did a spectacular job at keeping the room but brought us a basket of local fruits, always had fresh picked tropical flowers and vegetation around our room and even indulged us with the islands renowned hot chocolate tea on two separate evenings which we felt was so special to us. The location of The Still is central to all area activities and you can walk a short distance into town to visit the bank. The next door Hummingbird in offers cocktails after the Still Beach bar closes and also dinner/dessert for the evening cravings. I reccommend The Still Beach House to independent travelers who want a real experience, not a "Sandals" or "Sugar Beach Plantation" curated one.

Pros: I didn't get robbed The room was clean had 4 walls and the room ceiling didn't leak Directly on the ocean could hear the waves Great view of one of the two Pitons Cons: Challenging area (public beach very busy with locals) No running water in the day time Spotty hot water had ac but no way to close windows so ac went right out Lots of mosquitos Restaurant was a disaster, no real waitstaff just who was ever there served you? totally unmanaged In room safe was literally opened by a skeleton key? Any food order took a solid 1 hour, (but true of all restaurants on the island) The restaurant bar doubled as the front desk, 90% of the time abandoned Could not ever figure out who was in charge of anything

Not quite boutique luxury, but lovely
Arrived by taxi at night from airport. Driver had been given my room key so I just settled in - and never yet checked in at reception. I don't think there even is a front desk. The place is so laid back and the position on the beach opposite the Pitons hills is stunning. Soufriere is quite small and you can walk into town in 5 minutes. Be prepared to be approached on the way by locals wanting to sell you something, but they aren't persistent. Found it quieter not going directly along the beach and taking main road into town. The usual calm of the place is often disturbed at lunchtime by noisy parties of cruise ship passengers on an excursion, and there is some noise at night from the resort next door. But you learn to live with it and the view from room 1 compensates a great deal. Friendly chambermaid, but she didn't do her rounds till about 4 p.m. And the place is built on a hill with 2 flights of steep stairs from car park to ground floor (bedrooms on first floor) so no good at all for anyone with mobility issues.

Lacking in management and meals at the attached restaurant, run by brother & sister. But VERY pleasant. Rm 1 best view of the beach & Mt. We stayed a few days and loved it! Nearby outings great. Beach & harbor with wooden boats fishing and sailing vessels coming & going...great to watch. Petite Piton (& it's hidden twin) magical, setting the mood. Flowers & hummingbirds. Fruit from their nearby plantation (ask for a tour). Historical family, this was the grandmother's house, and the family did run a Still.

Great location for independent travellers
The location is relaly fantastic. It is a guesthouse not a hotel- I think we over-estimated the level of service to expect. We hardly saw anyone, other than breakfast or lunchtime and even one day we came down and there was no breakfast. Certainly there is limited management- more cooks and housekeeping- so dont expect a front desk or readily availble advice on eating, tours etc. It was, however, off-peak and the place quiet. If you are looking for independency and have a car or know what you want to do and experience local culture, then the location is relaly fantastic with Soufriere offering some great places to eat and drink and very easy to mix with locals in some of the bars- some helped us with travel arrangements etc for really good deals.

Fabulous view of the Pitons but...
My colleague and I stayed at this hotel which on business in that part of St. Lucia. There was no light (blown bulb) outside my colleague's front door. After we checked in, it seems as though all staff had vacated the property. My room was okay but there was no soap in the bathroom. The bed was very high as such I almost needed a ladder to get up. Breakfast was included in the room but was served too late for a business traveler. The hotel is located a very far distance from the airport in Castries so transport would cost a lot.

Should have done more research before choosing this place. Definitely a great view but it has to be balanced versus this being a very quaint, quirky 5 room guest house. Met folks in rooms other rooms and each complained of poor hot water pressure during bathing. Ours was fine. One of the guests has been returning here for years. So they must like the place. Restaurant is managed by a nice woman who is the sibling of the guest house manager. Food is good. But the guests house folks were the only diners when we are there.

Good for the price
The best part about the still beach house is the location, view, price. I wasn't pleased with the staff, checking in was very mixed up and confusing. Every morning I was woken up at 6:45am - 7am by the noise the staff would make while cleaning the restaurant (right below our room). I get that they have a job to do, but they would very noisily drag chairs on the tile floor which create an annoying loud sound, this went on for a good half hour every morning. Shower was iffy, sometime it had hot water, other times it didn't. The toilet kept running, couldn't seem to stop it. Housekeeping came and went but the toilet still ran wasting water. We had one dinner at the restaurant, it was great. The continental breakfast (Fruit and toast) took a really long time. another morning ,the breakfast wasn't an option because they were setting up for a wedding, so they were going to shuttle all the guests over to the plantation(?) to have breakfast. but we had to wait for the driver and it would be another 10 minute drive to the plantation. All this for toast and fruit, no thanks. we went to the market and got muffins. Again if it wasn't for the location, view, and price I would have been more upset with the situation.
