We have just returned from a two weeks stay at the Coco Palm Kreole Rooms. We travelled with our friends and the two rooms we had in the Creole building were really nice. We cannot understand why people moan about these rooms. They are advertised as budget rooms as they are all in the older buiding set in the gardens of the hotel but facing the main street of Rodnay Bay. They were spacious and very clean. The beds were spotless and the sheets were changed every couple of days and towels changed every day. We all thought it was a nice building ,had its own small reception area and a large veranndah out the back. There was a tea/coffee tray and fridge in every room. A spacious shower room (yes it was a little dated but was still immaculately clean) , plenty of wardrobe spaces,a dressing table and draws and cabinets (not too bad on storage) . The wardrobe contained a safety deposit box and ironing board and we just had to request our iron and hairdryer and they were immediately brought for us.
The staff at the hotel are friendly and keen to provide excellent service. In the Creole building there was a security guard on the front porch (facing the street) 24 hours a day and even these staff were extremely friendly and polite and loved passing the time of day with you (special mention to Sophie ). Gloria one of the cleaning staff deserves a special mention - a lovely happy lady who loved a chat with the guests and would do anything to make your stay first class . One staff member who deserves a special mention is Patricia. She is a great asset to the hotel as she does everything in her power to provide first class service to all guests. She is very friendly and efficient and will do anything to make sure your stay is special. Patricia and Gloria actually gave us a tour of Castries on their day off and we had a great day exploring the market and eating at a local cafe. They both have a great sense of humour and are always laughing and smiling !!.
All in all we would throughly recommend this hotel -yes the Creole rooms that face the street can be a little noisey but they really are not as bad as some people make out !! The location is excellent as you are a five minute walk from the beach and are in the middle of the town within easy reach of everything.
Thank you Coco Palm for a wonderful holiday.
