Zamaca' Bed and Breakfast

Ellen and John are fabulous hosts and made us feel very welcome after a long flight from the UK which included welcome drinks! The frittata breakfast in the morning was spot on and we enjoyed chatting to Ellen and John about the origins of the building and the surrounding area. Our room was spacious and clean with fabulous views to the sea. We will recommend Zamaca to friends and family.

For some the location may be challenging however the roads leading to the property are perfectly passable for competent drivers and the property is well signposted. Our taxi driver found the property easily even in the dark.

We liked everything about this place. Zamaca is far enough out of Micoud to feel remote, with amazing views from our room overlooking Fond Bay and the rainforest and valley, and very peaceful. Also no mosquitoes!! John and Ellen are lovely hosts and were so helpful! E.g. giving us a packed lunch to take down to the beach and getting a neighbour to give us a lift down to Sandy beach. Breakfast was great and Ellen also did 2 evening meals which were outstanding. It made our time here so special. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend it and felt sad to leave such a wonderful and unique place. We would love to return here and see our hosts again.

Nothing we disliked at all. It's easier staying here if you have a car as it is out of the way, but we were fine and Ellen had a reliable taxi service she arranged for us.

Great location coming from the airport. Very clean. Wonderful hosts and a delicious breakfast.

Stay here if you are looking for off-the-beaten path accomodations, a cultural exprience and amazing hosts, Ellen & John. They made us feel right at home in their beautiful home on a hill side with views of the dramatic Fond Bay. It litterally feels like your the only place in this hidden gem of an area. If you want to be right in the action of tourists and night-lifers this may not be the spot for you. One the otherhand, it was the perfect location to go on day trips and return to a very comfortable inviting place/family. The Pitons are about an hour drive as well as Castries and Rodney Bay and if your into nature and hiking, there is plenty to do right in the local area. Nicki, Ellen's daughter, was kind enough to bring us to an amazing the "majestic uncharted" Sault River waterfalls.

Was surprised that there was no airconditioning, but because of the homes perch high on the hillside, the room had constant breezes keeping us very comfortable. (so not really a negative, just info for those who absolutely need AC.

Wonderful traditional bed-and-breakfast, run by a lovely couple, located on a tranquil hillside on the less-touristy side of the island. My room was super comfortable and came with a huge private terrace that offered great views of the beach and ocean. The hosts' hospitality is truly unsurpassed.

I booked late on a Monday evening following flight cancellation and received confirmation of the booking. However, the property was difficult to find and when we arrived (by taxi) the gates were all chained and locked shut and it appeared that no-one was there. There was no reply on the given telephone number (just an ansaphone). Therefore, we were effectively stranded....saved only by the fact that our taxi driver stayed whilst we tried to gain access/make contact with someone. We had to abort and were extremely fortunate to find someone at the north of the island (1.5 hours drive) who could put us up for the night in their private home. Totally unacceptable.

View and private balcony. Breakfast was great, non pork options were available!

Perhaps I am spoiled here in the states with air conditioning. But air conditioning was advertised for the stay, however it was not available in the room, St Lucia happens to be very windy, which is good because it ends up keeping you cool, fan over bed was also nice.
