Gros Islet, St. Lucia hotel rooms at the Independent

"I was upgraded to a luxury suite and it was amazing! The view of the Marina was unmatched.. "

"My stay at Soco House in St. Lucia was nothing short of amazing. As a solo female traveler, feeling safe, comfortable, and genuinely welcomed is extremely important to me—and Soco House exceeded every expectation. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was warm, stylish, and relaxing. The property is beautifully maintained, intimate, and perfectly located near Rodney Bay, making it easy to explore while still feeling like a peaceful retreat. I want to give a special thank you to Eloise, who truly made my stay unforgettable. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and professional, always checking in to ensure I was comfortable and enjoying my experience. Her energy and care made me feel seen, supported, and completely at ease—something that means a lot when traveling alone. The food was delicious (I’m currently still thinking about the blackened tuna and bread and butter pudding), the rooms were clean and modern, and the overall vibe of the hotel was calm yet social enough if you want to connect with others. I felt safe at all times, and the staff went above and beyond to create a welcoming environment. I would highly recommend Soco House to solo travelers, especially women looking for a luxurious yet comfortable all-inclusive experience in St. Lucia. I’m already looking forward to returning!

"We loved this property because it was small, never had a problem getting lounger on the beach. Sand and water so beautiful. Tamara was often our server at breakfast and at the beach bar. Very nice young girl , very efficient and friendly. Mem the bar tender at the main bldg was also very nice and friendly. Two of the breakfast omelette makers were also so nice but I didn’t get their names.Actually all staff were very friendly but those stood out to us. The property is worth over 1.5 million dollars US and we would suggest they buy new furniture for the living room to make this 5 star.Extremely, extremely uncomfortable. We brought in the cushions from the deck but resorted to putting the cushions from the inside chairs on the couch. Even then so uncomfortable to sit and TV. Would not recommend the butler service. We had them make a reservation at the Cliff but when we got there they didn’t have our reservation. Luckily they were not busy so we were able get a nice table. Dishwasher leaked and called butler number, left a message but they never came. Called back to front desk and they sent housekeeping to look at it. We felt the butlers were more of an annoyance than helpful. If we wanted a reservation in the complex they would phone the restaurant and then they would get back to us when we could simply have made the one call. Suggest the owners leave instructions for the operating the stove. Taxis are very expensive. All in all, loved St Lucia and the resort. "

"This resort was very nice. The staff were amazing!! The food was mediocre but better than most all inclusive resorts. The night time entertainment was fun but didn’t last long. Pools were beautiful and the beach was out of this world. I would definitely recommend this to resort. "
