My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary in St Lucia, staying at Samfi Gardens, and could not have been happier or more delighted! While the drive up, (on the wrong side for us Canadians) was a tiny bit challenging, and you need to take care on the road heading into the property, the stunning view of the Pitons once there is worth it!! Add to that the fact that the staff are absolutely lovely and very kind, that there are wonderful activities to enjoy nearby, and that Samfi Gardens itself is a peaceful haven, and you have the recipe for a wonderful vacation. We were so grateful to spend time in beautiful St Lucia at Samfi Gardens, and hope to return!!

It is not safe to walk the main roads in St Lucia- no sidewalks and cars fly around blind hairpin turns. Roads are poor leading to property though passable if driving slow (as they are in lots of areas in St Lucia). Shop before coming to use the full kitchen. Parking is available on the property.

We had a great stay at Samfi Gardens. The view of Soufriere and Pitons was incredible. It was quiet and peaceful. At times, you could have the pool to yourself. The king size bed room with the view had a great balcony for coffee. The room was well cleaned every day, and the shower was large. The staff were very kind. Overall, it was a terrific value for a stay in St. Lucia.

Awesome stay with the best view in St. Lucia
Samfi Gardens exceeded all of our expectations for our stay in St, Lucia. The whole property was well kept and clean. The entire staff was incredible, everyone bent over backwards to make sure our stay was perfect. The room was exactly as depicted in the pictures and fit our needs perfectly. Samfi Gardens has the most spectacular view on the island, better then the much more expensive hotels and is close to most of the must see attractions. We could not be happier with our decision to stay at Samfi Gardens.

My husband and I traveled all around St. Lucia in a rental car and visited MANY all-inclusive resorts. Not a single one comes close to the view you get at Samfi Gardens. We absolutely loved it. We loved having a room with a kitchenette, a/c, a television to stream on, great WiFi connection, and a balcony with a view. You are also within walking distance of one of the BEST restaurants on the island (Tree Top). We spent an entire week at Samfi. The workers are so kind and so happy to help, the pool was perfect to cool off in, and the tree frogs can lull you to sleep every night. We cannot say enough good things about Samfi. Hope to return soon!

Best view from a hotel room balcony I have ever seen. Got it a little late and was greeted at the entrance to the property by their night security who made sure we had found the right place. Entry road is a bit bumpy but not usually for St Lucia. Recommend for a peaceful stay with an awesome view of the Pitons and Soufriere.

The Best View on St. Lucia
We stayed at Samfi Gardens for 5 nights in May. The view is incredible!! We had a car rental and drove around most of the island and couldn't see a better location. We were a very short drive to town, to beaches, to our Piton hike and other attractions. In addition you could walk to at least 2 restaurants. The beds were comfortable, the AC worked amazing and the pool was so great to have after a big hike. We were in room 7 which had a great unobstructed view of the Pitons and town. The only issue was the fridge made a "bang" sound whenever it turned on (every hour). I saw a review from a couple years ago where someone said the same thing. They really need to get that fixed. I haven't let this affect my rating because everything else was so great.

Samfi Gardens was a lovely little find in the mountains of Soufriere. We spent the last two days of our St. Lucia vacation here to get a different perspective of the island and to be closer to the airport. We had stayed at Bay Gardens Beach Resort for a week and took a catamaran to Soufriere with our luggage to stay 2 nights at Samfi Gardens. The views are spectacular as mentioned in all the reviews. We had the honeymoon suite since we were celebrating our 40th year anniversary. The balcony overlooked the Piton and the water and was private. The room was lovely with a small kitchenette that had a small refrigerator and a propane gas stove. A lovely little table was in the room for small meals. The pool on property was small, cold and not immaculate but had a great view. If you want to hike or enjoy the landscape this was a good spot. Things that would be helpful for travelers to know would be that the restaurants in town you will need a cab to get to unless you want to make a long journey by foot. There are two restaurants on the mountain, one very very cool called the Treehouse--you must secure a reservation and the Beacon with amazing views and good food but you need CASH as they do not accept credit cards.

Stunningly beautiful setting and the local beaches are good. The access to plant life, the forest etc. is very good and staff at Samfi can recommend good guides. Simple accommodation, not too expensive, could keep cool. Friendly, helpful staff. Very comfortable bed. Kitchenette was useful though (as usual) the knives could have been sharper. Cheering tree frogs. Slightly pesky cats. Close to Treetops Restaurant and the Beacon Cafe. Possible to walk into Soufriere but never walked back, partly because our neighbours and people in the area kept giving us rides--much appreciated. Do need a ride up the hill from Soufriere. It would have been useful if the Samfi shop had some bread and milk to get us started. Dripping hot tap needs fixing and a small bedside table on both sides of bed would be an improvement. Pool small but perfectly formed.

Samfi Gardens was exactly what we were looking for in our stay in Soufriere. The view was breathtaking, the photos don't do it justice! Having the pool was great as well as ability to cook meals. The air conditioner was well powered. The staff were friendly. Would easily recommend this accommodation!

Rooms were clean and attractive, the bed was comfortable enough and the kitchen area was well supplied and worked as it should. By far the selling point is the view from the balcony over Soufriere. It is stunning. The hotel is farther from town than can be easily walked (and I walk alot) but this wasn't a problem for us as we rented a car. There is no restaurant on site so you'll want to go to a grocery store and stock up. There is a restaurant that does breakfast and lunch about 10 minutes walk up the hill though. Staff are friendly and will help you book taxis, guides for the walking trails, etc. If i had one comment for the owners it's that we had a really tough time getting up to date information about local activities (how much they cost, when are they open, do we need a guide? The information on the internet was usually badly outdated and the concierge often couldn't answer our questions). That said, i would not hesitate to recommend this hotel. We really enjoyed it.

Stunning view and beautiful rooms in a lush mountainous rainforest environment. Very ecological-minded hotel with solar thermal heaters. This also means that sometimes they will run out of hot water, especially in the morning. There are beautiful nature sounds from the surrounding ecosystem. The windows have wooden shutters which means you will hear people talking and other sounds as there is no sound barrier.

Property is nicely located in the Soufriere area. If you like snorkeling, beach, hiking …outdoor activities, then this is the spot. You are about 10-15 minutes away from everything, supermarket, gas station, banking, restaurants and town. The view from the property is among the best you can find in St. Lucia. Samfi Gardens is a great place for people who like their independence, want to discover St. Lucia on their own, and don’t want to be trapped in a resort. Make sure you rent a car if you are planning to stay at Samfi Gardens.
