Hotel Chez Marie Alish

I got good value for what I paid but on site parking is really street side parking. Credit card machine was not working so I had to get cash from an ATM to pay. Owner is willing to assist. What you see in the pics is what you get.

The property was clean, pleasant, the hosts were

Property was just ok

Wonderful hosts very helpful arranged taxi to ferry port. Not far to a really nice beach beside Sandals resort. Great food at Chef Robbies across from Rodney bay marina about 10 minute stroll. Would definitely stay again.

Great stay in an area of Rodney Bay that is mainly where the local folk live and only a 10 minute walk to the marina, or 1 minute in a local minibus taxi. Hotel room was clean and comfortable, large bed and bath/shower and great value. Area has bakery and laundry just behind guest house, and only a few minutes walk to a prestine deserted sandy beach with a few bars, mini markets and places to eat. Beach is next to the marina entrance. The locals are very friendly and helpful and will make sure you are ok and safe. Great walk along the coast to Pidgeon Island. This is a place to chill and relax, away from the tourists and resorts.

The room cleanliness and comfort was fine. However, having booked and paid via Hotels.com app on check-in I was advised by the property that the boking had not been paid for and therefore I was asked to pay in local currency and as this was the only way to be able to stay I did so. The other issue was that the 'maid' looked in through a gap in the curtains in the morning which is inappropriate and an invasion of privacy!

Had an amazing stay. The only thing I would suggest is to have access to phones to at least make local calls.

This place was amazing. The owners treat you like family and welcome you. Close to the beach restaurant and night life. 10 mins away from Castries. Great area

brilliantly close to the action of St Lucia in a great spot

I’m almost hesitant to write this review, as I’m not sure I want the secret to get out, but I just spent 3 great weeks in January at the Hotel Chez Marie Alish in Gros Islet. I’m a budget traveler and this is the place I’ve been looking for in St. Lucia for years; don’t let the low cost make you think you have to sacrifice comfort. The apartment was kept immaculately clean by the housekeeper, and Mr. & Mrs. Louis outstanding hosts, we’ve never felt more welcome. The self-catering apartments are very well stocked with service for four and all the pots, pans and utensils you could ask for. There is a four-burner stove with oven, microwave, a full-sized refrigerator, cutting board and they restock the kitchen roll as needed. Our room had a comfortable queen bed and also a single bed, kitchen table and chairs, a desk, ironing board and iron. The wifi is strong and reliable. The outside balcony has a couple chairs and a bistro style table, where we enjoyed our breakfast each morning. It's about a 10-minute walk to the marina and 15 minutes to the local beach just north of town. I would recommend this property to other budget-minded travelers who want safe, clean, comfortable accommodations. It would also be ideal for yacht crew wanting a break from the boat or for a place to stay before or after a charter out of the base in the marina.
