Been back from our second visit to Bel Jou for about 3 weeks now. So love this place and all the staff. We had a ground floor room this time near the lower pool and loved it. Hope we get this room next time we come (101 ). The hotel is just how we remember it from our last visit here including the lovely girls in the Restaurant on the veranda and in the Huming Bird Restaurant. Also the girls on reception who are very helpful. Some great entertainment and the wonderful Fire Shows and BBQ with fantastic food. Will miss it place next March 2025 as going to a different Island. But maybe back towards the end of next year, a big 0 Birthday in August ! but if not will be March 2026. ! Any news on Mam ma pussycat has she had her kittens Read less

A great find in the hills above Castries. The hotel is well equipped with tow pools - , 3 restaurants, a coffee shop and a spa ! The rooms are fab - we were on an upper floor with great views from the balcony over Castries and saw some amazing sunsets! The food is great - something for everyone no matter the time of day - the Hummingbird restaurant is the fine dining and staffed by two superb members of staff - the food is outstanding also ! The pool areas are on two different levels and cater for a quiet and a sociable atmosphere! Plenty of entertainment throughout our stay and a great BBQ night with a steel band and fire eating acrobats !! Overall an amazing stay - thank you so much for! Read less

Went on a solo birthday trip and had such a great time. My first night there, I slept like a baby. The staff were the loveliest, and they ensured that I was having a good time. I definitely enjoyed my stay at the hotel. I’ll be back soon for a longer stay.
