Modern and comfortable. Needs air conditioning.

Very modern and comfortable unit. They could invest in air conditioning for the units as it gets quite uncomfortable, and you cannot leave the windows and door open due to the monkeys. Could also use better WiFi in the units as it is only available at the swimming pool.

Was okay, kon beter wees.

Eenheid het geen klein stoof gehad vir "self catering" nie. Ek moes vir lepels vra en die borde was vuil onder in die kas. Die drein was ook verstop, veral wanneer mens stort, dam die water op. WiFi was ongelooflik stadig. Die eerste dag is vir my vertel dat die WiFi in die dorp af is, maar dit was vir my gelieg. Die WiFi is beskikbaar, net op een plek naby die swembad. Dit is wat ek op die tweede dag uitgevind het by 'n ander dame wat daar werk.

Was okay, could be better.

Unit had no small stove for "self catering". I had to ask for spoons and the plates were dirty in the bottom of the cupboard. The drain was also clogged, especially when you take a shower, the water pools up. WiFi was incredibly slow. The first day I was told that the WiFi was down in town, but I was lied to. The WiFi is available, only in one place near the pool. This is what I found out on the second day from another lady who works there.

Shonalanga Lodge 's response

Liewe Ettiene

Dankie dat jy die tyd geneem het om vir ons terugvoer te gee. Ons akkommodasie beskik oor 2-slaapkamer eenhede wat tenvolle selfsorg-eenhede is. Ons 1-slaapkamer eenhede is slegs semi-selfsorg en het geen stoof in die eenheid. Ons vra neederig om verskoning vir die probleem met die eetgerei en sal onmiddellik na die situasie kyk. Rakende die WiFi, ons het ongelukkig heelwat konneksieprobleme gedurende November en Desember ondervind. Telkom het fibre kabels in St Lucia kom installeer en dit het direk ons konneksies geaffekteer.

Ons vra om verskoning vir alle ongerief gedurende u verblyf.

Vriendelike groete
Shonalanga

Not pleasant at all.

Not one room at all was right above the washing area and all the smells were drawn into the room by the shower. Traveled back for 12 hours and couldn't sleep.

Uitstekende diens ontvang.

Ek en my vriend het ingeboek by Shonalanga Lodge. Ons het dadelik uitgevind dat daar 'n skoolgroep van so ongeveer 40 kinders daar aangekom het. Shonalanga Lodge het die besluit gemaak en ons geskuif en op te gradeer na Forest Lodge. Dit was uitstekend gewees. Pragtige kamer, skoon en netjies en personeel baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Uitstekende kliëntediens ontvang vanaf Shonalanga Lodge sowel as Forest Lodge.

Excellent service received.

My friend and I checked into Shonalanga Lodge. We immediately found out that a school group of about 40 children had arrived there. Shonalanga Lodge made the decision to move and upgrade us to Forest Lodge. It had been excellent. Beautiful room, clean and tidy and staff very friendly and helpful. Excellent customer service received from Shonalanga Lodge as well as Forest Lodge.

Netjies en skoon, ligging goed kan stap na al die eetplekke en winkels toe.

Ons verblyf was in die basiese kamer met 'n badkamer, baie klein "kitchenette" met ketel, klein yskas, mikrogolf en basiese eetgerei, TV en 'n waaier. Die kamer is skoon en netjies en ruim genoeg vir jou bagasie vir 'n naweek. Die personeel is vriendelik en flink. Die parkeerarea is net genoeg vir jou voertuig, sou jy 'n sleepwa of boot bring sal jy dalk buite moet stop. Dit was baie gerieflik om na al die eetplekke en winkels te kan stap aangesien daar nie altyd parkering in die dorp is op naweke nie. Ons was baie tevrede en sal hulle beslis aanbeveel.

Neat and clean, location good can walk to all the eateries and shops.

Our accommodation was in the basic room with a bathroom, very small "kitchenette" with kettle, small fridge, microwave and basic cutlery, TV and a fan. The room is clean and tidy and spacious enough for your luggage for a weekend. The staff is friendly and nimble. The parking area is just enough for your vehicle, if you bring a trailer or boat you may have to park outside. It was very convenient to be able to walk to all the eateries and shops as there is not always parking in town on weekends. We were very satisfied and would definitely recommend them.

Eenhede was nie baie skoon nie. Drain opgestoot in die stort.

Dit was glad nie die prys werd wat ons betaal het nie. Ongelukkig moes ons hulle vra om die spinnerakke te kom verwyder. Die drain het opgestoot in die stort en hulle het net gesê hulle kan niks daaromtrent doen nie. Ons sal nie weer daar bly nie.

Units were not very clean. Drain pushed up in the shower.

It was not at all worth the price we paid. Unfortunately we had to ask them to come and remove the cobwebs. The drain backed up in the shower and they just said they couldn't do anything about it. We will not stay there again.

Heerlike wegbreek.

Die kamer was voldoende vir my en my man. Ons het nie gebruik gemaak van die kombuis nie, was meeste van die dag uit op die dorp en het sommer daar ontbyt, middag- en aandete gekry. Was heel tevrede vir wat aangebied was teenoor die prys wat ons betaal het.

Not what we expected based on what was advertised.

On the website we looked at and based on which we made our decision, the photos and the description indicated that it was a one bedroom unit with a kitchen. However, it is a single apartment with kitchen facilities tucked into the corner - very limited space to work with. I brought the fact up on Wednesday, under the auspices of Shonalanga's reception and the website's customer service. The original photos and description indicated it was a one bedroom unit with a kitchen and it was not. These are not all the photos as advertised. In general, the place was clean, but the fridge's freezer compartment was frozen over and looked like it hadn't been cleaned in months. There was also leftover barbecue meat in the fridge from previous guests. We decided to leave a day early.

Baie netjies en skoon in middel van St Lucia.

Goodness by ontvangs was baie vriendelik. Kamer was elke dag skoon en netjies as ek terugkom van my dag-ekskursies. Daar word wel handdoeke en sepies verskaf. Die lodge is loopafstand van al die winkels en restaurante.

Clean and efficient staff, but not recommended for a quiet restful holiday experience.

We arrived on the Thursday and left on the following Tuesday, every night from about 12 am and later there were cars/motorbikes arriving/leaving from the lodge. People having parties in the street, people shouting at each other and using foul language while reversing out of the lodge property, which has made us worry about drunk people crashing into our car.

Nie wat ons verwag het nie.

Ons het twee eenhede geboek, sal my terugvoering gee oor al die areas van die eenhede: Kombuis: Skottelgoed was oor die algemeen nie skoon gewas nie en ons het 'n vuil pan nog in die oond gekry, items soos die rasper het nog ou kaas ingehad en die handklitser was geroes. Meeste van eetgerei was onpare en daar was nie al die basiese items beskikbaar nie. Oond verwaarloos met sommige van die liggies wat nie werk nie, een van ons eenhede se oond het opgeblaas terwyl ons daar was. Algemene gevoel is dat jy gegril het om items te gebruik. Yskas in een van die eenhede het geen rakkies in die kant gehad nie. Badkamers: Soos met die kombuis het die storte redelik vuil gevoel. Een van die eenhede se badkamer het 'n vreeslike reuk gehad wat van buite gekom het ons het dit rapporteer hul het daarna gekyk maar die reuk het gebly. Handdoeke was voorsien, maar was goed uitgewas en was weer eens onpare, handdoeke wat gewas was het nie noodwendig terug na die eenheid gekom nie en ons moes weer vra vir dit. TV kamer: Geen dakwaaier of lugversorging nie. TV word geadverteer met 8 kanale dit het selde gewerk en daar was gereeld net 2 kanale om na te kyk en beide TVs het telkemale baie slegte sein gehad. Sal beter wees as jul adverteer met geen TV. Parkering: Beperk tot first come first serve wat veroorsaak het dat gaste voor die eenhede se vensters parkeer en ander motors toe parkeer. Ons het gaste gehad wat direk voor ons kamer parkeer het en 3 uur die oggend opgestaan het en gepak het met 'n groot geraas, natuurlik my 3 jarige dogtertjie wakker gemaak. Sekuriteit: Daar is geen sekuriteit nie, eenhede is direk op straat en motors dus ook. Swem area: Baie lekker. Braai area: Kan doen met 'n ekstra paar braaiers moes area gereeld deel met groepe wat die nomad toere doen. Ons het ook gaan op lees oor ander mense se ervarings op verskeie websites en my punte bo is al voorheen telkemale genoem in die verlede. Dit was ook baie komies dat daar net feedback gegee word op positiewe punte en niks waar besoekers kla nie. Ek dink die lodge kan soveel meer wees as iemand net weer wil aandag gee aan die klein goedjies. My persoonlike opinie is dat die lodge genoeg inkomste kry deur die nomad toere wat kom en gaan en nie rêrig die eenhede moet gebruik soos ons nie en dus nie rêrig omgee oor die algehele toestand van die plek nie. Ons het al voorheen in St. Lucia gebly en my gevoel is net dat Shonalanga Lodge nie goedkoop is nie en 'n mens dus 'n sekere gehalte kan verwag. Yskas in een van die eenhede het geen rakkies in die kant gehad nie.

Not what we expected.

We have booked two units, will give me feedback on all areas of the units: Kitchen: Dishes were generally not washed clean and we found a dirty pan still in the oven, items like the grater still have old cheese contained and the hand beater was rusted. Most of the cutlery was mismatched and not all the basic items were available. Furnace neglected with some of the lights not working, one of our units furnace blew up while we were there. Common feeling is that you grilled to use items. Refrigerator in one of the units had no shelves in the side. Bathrooms: As with the kitchen, the showers felt quite dirty. One of the units bathroom had a terrible smell coming from outside we reported it they looked into it but the smell remained. Towels were provided but were laundered well and again were mismatched, towels that were washed did not necessarily come back to the unit and we had to ask for them again. TV room: No ceiling fan or air conditioning. TV is advertised with 8 channels it rarely worked and there were often only 2 channels to watch and both TVs had very poor signal at times. Would be better if you advertise with no TV. Parking: Limited to first come first serve which has caused guests to park in front of the units' windows and other cars to park there. We had guests park directly in front of our room and get up and pack at 3 in the morning with a lot of noise, obviously waking up my 3 year old daughter. Security: There is no security, units are directly on the street and so are cars. Swimming area: Very nice. Braai area: Could do with an extra couple of braais, had to share area often with groups doing the nomad tours. We also went on to read about other people's experiences on various websites and my points above have been mentioned numerous times in the past. It was also very comical that feedback is only given on positive points and nothing where visitors complain. I think the lodge can be so much more if someone just pays attention to the little things again. My personal opinion is that the lodge gets enough income from the nomad tours that come and go and don't really have to use the units like we do and therefore don't really care about the overall condition of the place. We have been in St. Lucia and my feeling is that Shonalanga Lodge is not cheap and one can therefore expect a certain quality. Refrigerator in one of the units had no shelves in the side.

Shonalanga Lodge 's response

Goeie Dag,

Hiermee wil ek net graag terug voering gee op die klagte. Dit is altyd ontstellend om klagtes te ontvang na gaste reeds vertrek het, aangesien ons personeel op daaglikse bases na alle gaste gaan om seker te maak alles is in orde en of daar enige iets is waarmee u dalk ongelukkig is.

Baie dankie dat u dit onder ons aandag gebring het.
Kombuis, ek vra onverkoning indien ons skoon maak dame nie na julle vereistes voldoen het nie. Dit sal aangespreek word. Ons het een dame wat die eenhede vanaf kamer 1 to 4 skoonmaak. En het geen ander klagtes onvang nie. Dit is reeds onder haar aandag gebring. Soos u ongelukkig reeds weet het ons ‘n probleem ervaar met die stoof wat ‘n tegniese fout gehad het dit is ongeluukig nie iets wat mens vooraf kan voorspel nie en het dit dedelik reggestel. Dankie dat u die ander stoof en oond ook geraporteer het. Ons het reeds alles herstel.

Die sekuriteit, soos u self beleef het is St Lucia ‘n baie veilige oop natuurlike area. Ons het wel dorp sekuriteit wat patroleer en ek kan met alle eerlikeheid noem dat ons in die laaste agt plus jaar geen gevalle gehad het van inbrake by ons eenhede so ook motors nie. St Lucia is juis bekend vir sy natuurlike veilige omgewing en ons almal werk saam om dit so te hou. Weereens dankie vir u besorgheid.

Ons gaan na die lugversoring kyk in ons eenhede aangesien ons verstaan dat die hitte in St lucia baie warm word.

Ek wil u weerens bedank dat u die baie belanrike punte onder ons aandag gebring het en sal beslis aandag daaraan gee om die verblyf by ons baie aangename eenhede in St Lucia nog geriefliker te maak. Ek sou graag wou gehad het dat u die punte onder my aandag gebring het gedurende die verblyf dat u geen onsmaaklike idee oor ons gehad het nie.

Baie Dankie.

Great place!

Had a lovely stay. Place was clean, staff were friendly. Only issues were the kitchen and the shower. Kitchen wasn't fully equipped as stated, for example 1 steak knife, no pans, no cheese grater. The shower head needs replacing but other than that - superb accommodation! Would recommend to any friend or family.

We did not have the feeling that we would stay any longer than what we booked for, the place is sadly falling behind the competition.

Quite a few things wrong. Microwave turntable not turning, kettle burning out as the auto-off switch failed, refrigerator did not chill, cupboards have a very strong mouldy smell, the dressing area is half-painted, the couch looks as if it has not been cleaned in years. The staff was however very helpful to exchange the kettle and the refrigerator (which did not fit into the area provided for it). The WiFi is free but only available under the lapa by the pool so if you do not find a seat you cannot connect. The choice of TV channels is very limited. We only stayed in the unit as long as we absolutely had to - sleeping only.

Baie sentraal geleë en waarde vir geld.

Verblyf is baie goed. Baie beweging van besoekers op toer vroeg oggend in en uit. Kan nie laat slaap nie. Sekuriteit is nie goed nie aangesien dit in die hoofpad is sonder enige hek vir beheer en geen diefwering voor vensters nie.

Very central location and good value for money.

Very good accommodation. Lots of movement from visitors on tour early in the morning. So you can't sleep late. Security isn't good since there is no gate between main road and premisies for access control and windows dont' have burglar bars.

Dit was aangenaam met vriendelike diens.

Die perseel was altyd skoon en netjies. Die woonstel is netjies en gerieflik gemeubileerd.
