Advantages of Renting a Private Villa
Instead of staying in hotel rooms (bed, two chairs, dressing table, TV set and telephone, wardrobe, small bathroom), your family will enjoy this truly St. Lucian experience – plus much more space, more informality, more privacy, and more personalized service than any hotel can provide.
For less than you would pay for staying at a good hotel in St. Lucia (which costs from US$ 90 to more US$600 per room per person, per day) you can now enjoy the luxury of renting a beautiful private villa with air-conditioned bedrooms, spacious living and dining areas and open terraces, a lush tropical garden and trained house staff to take care of everything.
In addition to having all modern amenities, your villa will reflect Caribbean lifestyle throughout: (all the units have a beautiful decor with a tiled floor throughout and a British standard finish. The villas are located right next to a championship golf course and 10 minutes away from getting everything.) and you'll find all the residential comforts you'd expect at a private home.
Our house staff is always willing to assist you–we provide a housekeeper on the property, which you have the choice of requesting on a day to day basis. (a small fee of US$15 per day) Even though we are not a hotel you can still enjoy a variety of fun tour bookings e.g. jungle trips, golfing, tennis, scuba diving, deep sea fishing, or a day trip on a catamaran or sailing!
Expect to save between US$50.00 and US$160.00 per person compared to staying at a hotel where all "extras" (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and drinks, telephone, plus (state tax of 8% tax & 10% service charge on everything) will easily double or triple your bill. Therefore, taking all expenses of staying at a hotel into account, the "luxury" of renting a private villa through Gateway Villas will turn out to be even cheaper!
Here you can have tasty local meals or try a take away from nearby restaurants. You can buy all you favorite snacks from a nearby supermarket. Or even try cooking your own meals in our fully equipped kitchens. You'll be surprised about the low cost compared with hotel food bills, when you pay the same prices as the locals do!
