The perfect Caribbean Christmas
We have just returned from a wonderful 10 day stay at C'est la Vie. The house is amazing: plenty of communal space, beautiful bedrooms (such comfy beds), bar area, dining, and all set in a tropical garden. We spent a lot of time playing in the beautiful pool and sunbathing on the loungers. The stars of our stay were the staff. Sherma, the manager, arranged everything for us: taxis, reservations, supermarket opening times, meals at home, and even a pass to the beach at Windjammer (definitely a highlight). Louise was a super housekeeper, Garvin served us a delicious breakfast (combination of local and European as we requested- at the time we requested!) and opened the gate for our multiple trips out and about. We also had Steve on security overnight, which made us feel very safe. We ate out at Big Chef, Jaques, Amici, Spice of Life, Naked Fisherman, Buzz, and 5* lobster at Flavours of the Grill, which were all fantastic. We also saw pods of dolphins on a boat trip and the boys played golf. I read two books which is evidence of how relaxed the holiday was! It was an experience of a lifetime! Thank you

Weeklong summer trip with kids
I can't speak more highly of C'est La Vie villa and staff. We spend a week during Covid with our 4 kids (one newborn) and from all meals customized to what we like, walking proximity to snorkeling and a swimming beach, easy car rental, and bringing us a crib, it was such a memorable family vacation for us. Highly recommended!

A Slice Of Paradise
A wonderful place that exudes luxury from the staff, the facility, and the lush grounds. The chef offered numerous vegan dishes just for me (the rest of my group were carnivores. The hospitality was incredible and I highly recommend it as a great place to relax, recuperate and become inspired.

The best hospitality on the Island
Where do I even begin.... first of all let me say that C'est La Vie Villa is such a beautiful and magical place, the pictures don't even capture the half of how special this property is. It was absolutely the perfect place for me and 5 of my best girlfriends to have a retreat. There are so many nooks and comfortable spaces to sit and talk, we really didn't even use them all. The pool is absolutely fabulous, especially on a hot Caribbean day. The rooms were spacious and so comfortable. But the jewel of C'est La Vie is most definitely the staff. Sherma, the house manager was an absolutely wonderful hostess to us. She was on top of every detail and everything she did for our group was done with such love and care. The food was truly exquisite; better than the food at many of the well known restaurants in the area. We became quite spoiled with the delicious food the chef prepared for us every day. I have traveled quite extensively, and hands down this was the best hospitality I have ever received. All of my guest raved about staying here, and even shed a few tears saying goodbye. This was my first visit to St. Lucia, but after such a great experience staying at C'est La Vie, it certainly won't be my last. C'est La Vie truly lives up to it's name because it truly gave our entire group "Life". Our stay was absolutely amazing!!

My wife's birthday celebration activity
It has a very relaxing atmosphere and environment. The minute you walk into the place, it gives a sense of relaxation. The staff and manager are very friendly and warm hearted. The manager is an extremely great host, one of the best. It has both modern amenities and attractively unusual quaint furniture and other features. The rooms are luxurious and lovely. The grounds are beautiful and full of beautiful flower plants, fruit trees, active local birds and biodiversity. There are vanished benches at strategic points to observe some wildlife and nature doing it things. It is an environmentalist's paradise. The attached beach is gorgeous with white sand that affectionately and softly hugs your feet. The pool has an attractive waterfall. The pool makes you feel like you are in a very clean tropical river flowing through the Garden of Eden. And the unveiling of the mystical beehive as a farewell note, is jaw dropping feature.

Wonderful Villa - Amazing Staff
My family and I stayed at this villa and it was amazing. The pictures on their website does not do it any justice. The place is beautiful and it is kept very well by their amazing staff. The team at the villa took very good care of us. We had complimentary and delicious breakfast every morning. On days we wanted to eat dinner, they were accommodating and made fantastic meals. Since we went during COVID, they followed all protocols. We felt safe staying there. I highly recommend this place.

Spa Treatment
We went here for the day to relax and get pampered. The staff was excellent, the food delicious, and the drinks cold. We received a massage, manicure, and pedicure while we where here and it felt amazing. Thank you to everybody there for making our day memorable.

In a word: PARADISE!
After having this Villa experience, how do I go back to hotel living when vacationing?There are so many areas to escape to for a nap, or just to take in the beauty of nature. All 5 bedrooms have wonderful views of the tropical scenery. The sounds of the nature are soothing-you could listen to it all day. The grounds are immaculate and the rooms are pristinely kept. The staff was awesome and moved in a ninji fashion, yet were always available to assist with requests. They were extremely warm and welcoming and concerned about our safety, yet making sure we had an excellent stay. The private pool was beautiful and ample, and having an outdoor bathroom was very convenient. We needed more time to enjoy the Villa, and we are looking at our calendars to determine when we can return to C'est la Vie! It was one of the best vacations ever!

A stunning retreat!
We had a glorious 10 days at Villa C'est la Vie, the villa is spacious and very well decorated and with exquisite fixtures and fittings. Huge comfy beds and the circular relaxation chair on the balcony is the perfect spot for a quiet time in the sunshine. The pool is quite beautiful, as are the gardens. You can walk to a small beach and watch the sun go down - stunning! We were very well looked after by the villa staff and the owners of the villa welcomed us with genuine warmth. The food was excellent. We hope to travel back to Villa C'est la Vie in the future! Go, you will not be disappointed!
