Leopard Tree Lodge

Leopard Tree Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"My wife and I recently spent a night at Leopard Tree Lodge in St Lucia, and it was absolutely wonderful! From the warm welcome to the peaceful atmosphere, everything exceeded our expectations. What We Loved: ✅ Beautiful Setting – The lodge is nestled in a serene, natural environment, with lush greenery and a relaxing vibe. Perfect for couples! ✅ Comfortable & Clean Room – Our accommodation was spacious, tastefully decorated, and spotlessly clean. The bed was very comfortable, ensuring a great night’s sleep. ✅ Friendly Staff – The team was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making us feel right at home. ✅ Great Location – Close enough to St Lucia’s attractions (like the estuary and restaurants) while still feeling secluded. Highlights: The tranquil ambiance—perfect for unwinding. The lodge’s charming design, blending nature with comfort. We only wish we could have stayed longer! Highly recommend Leopard Tree Lodge for anyone visiting St Lucia—whether for a romantic getaway or a peaceful retreat. We’ll definitely be back!"
