Soco House Saint Lucia

We stayed at Soco house for 10 nights, we were welcomed with a fresh towel and a glass of fix. Check in very efficient. Rooms - very spacious and bright with plenty of storage, mini fridge , safe, tea and coffee facilities and a hairdryer. A big thank you to Frances for keeping our room spotless and clean towels when requested. Pool area-clean , with good bar service, comfortable sunbeds and plenty available every day. Also plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas on beach added bonus the cool box supplied with drinks in what a great idea ! Restaurant- staff always welcoming and food was of a high standard, we chose this hotel for the A la carte dinning and we were not disappointed. This is a game changer no buffets in sight ! All meals cooked to order using fresh local produce and this made our evening. Special mention to a few lovely ladies, Nadia, Precious, Stacy, Yolanda plus Lana, Cleophi, Jane, Shania, who looked after us Some of the furniture in the bedrooms could be replaced as a little worn but sleep quality very good as beds very comfortable A small clothes rail may help to dry swimwear over night. To sum up, the Soco house is a small boutique hotel that delivers quality all round . We would recommend this hotel to all and keep making those holidays special , a big thanks to Vlad and his team .

First thing first. The question I always want to see on any review is, would you go back? Answer, yes in a hearbeat. You can gnit pick hotels apart anywhere but honestly we had amazing value for money. Food was excelent, staff were friendly and came with a brilliant local sense of humour perhaps lost on some guests? Our room and the whole hotel was very clean and tidy. There is a new general manager (only 4 weeks in), he is very attentive and clearly here to move the hotel forward. Nothing bad to say. Thank you all at Soco.

We stayed at this hotel after switching holiday due to the crisis in Iraq. We would certainly not have chosen as a preferred location but were limited in our options. Having been forced to pay an additional substantial amount by the travel operator for a “Superior Suite “ we were shown to a basic room with no outside balcony which we demanded to be changed. We were then given a room on the ground floor with a small sitting area outside. To review this hotel it is important to remember the old saying “ you get what you pay for “ Room :- Extremely basic, no pictures on walls, TV didn’t function for 2 days, safe broken with no replacement available so they gave us the key to operate it manually which meant we had to hide the key with the responsibility on us to manage our own room security. Room was cleaned daily but needs redecorating and improving. Food and Restaurant:- Where to start ! It’s all served with no buffet with limited choice and inconsistent quality. Was often served cold and/or on cold plates. Service of both food and drinks was painfully slow and often we had to go to the bar to get our own drinks. Too many supervisors doing very little and not enough serving staff actually working. We ended up eating out on a number of occasions although we were all inclusive. Pool and Bar :- Pool was adequate but needs repairs to tiles and surrounding area. It is claustrophobic as fully enclosed.. no sea view. Beds are adequate but not enough umbrellas. Bar service ok but I did observe several items being watered down by staff prior to service. They have a ridiculous policy of limiting you to one towel per guest per day which you sign for. My wife had a medical condition which meant she required additional towels for comfort. It took intervention from a manager to resolve this after being refused by reception staff. At this point I would mention ( as others have ) one particular female receptionist who was particularly rude and remained grumpy and unfriendly when we made any request. Beach :- There is no beach front but beach is only a short walk away. However the beds owned by the hotel are really tatty and need replacing. You get pestered by the usual beach sellers and on cruise ship days the beach is rammed. To sum up :- This hotel is in Special Measures to the extent the owners recently installed a new General Manager To be fair Vladimir listened to us and was very approachable and helpful. He has a huge job on his hands to turn this hotel around and the owners will need to put their hands deep in their pockets to supply him with the revenue that is needed to turn this place around. Unfortunately We cannot recommend this hotel as a destination at present You get what you pay for 2 star at best and if you remember Faulty Towers you will relate to how it presents itself 😂

There were some positives to this hotel. Vibe, pool area, most of the staff, and location. Front desk person was not very friendly. Bar and dining room staff excellent. Rose and Gavin served us up great drinks and were charming and professional. Negatives are rooms are extremely loud. Meaning they all back up to the pool area and the music and talking reverberates off the cement and is obnoxious. The rooms also have no power outlet in bathroom nor by a mirror so blow drying and styling hair is not easy. Rooms need a deep cleaning and some updating. But mainly the bar area needs to close before 10 and needs baffles on the ceiling to absorb noise. And perhaps a big outdoor rug. And most hotels have quiet hours. Time for this hotel to have them. Food was very inconsistent. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served. There is no grab and go option to take to the beach. Menu changes once in our 5 night stay. There were some people who were there for two weeks and they went out most nights. We went out twice in the five nights because of this. Yes there are beach chairs and umbrellas that are provided at the beautiful beach, BUT they are tattered and need to be replaced. Proximity to the ferry and smaller airport was great. Easy walk to town and the bank made our stay without a car doable. Our only regret is we didn't tour much of the island because our beach was so nice!
