What more could you want?
Review Submitted: 12 September 2012
Date of Stay: June 2012
A clean and large apartment set-up for living comfortably, a pool a step away, a nice porch to sit outside and enjoy the day and evening, two very friendly and responsible hosts and three dogs to keep you company, or not depending upon your pet needs. The pluses, make sure you have Simon or Francine pick you up at the airport. Cooler with cold beverages and a bit of local info on the 90 minute drive to the apartment. Very much appreciated the orientation the following day to get a feel of the layout. A short 10 or 15 minute walk to the supermarket or go further to town about a 1/2 hr from Blue Skies. If you don't want to walk and Simon or Francine aren't available call Alie the Cabbie! HE IS FABULOUS! Timely, clean, safe drive and knows so much about everything happening on the island. Plus he's a chef you want him to cook at your apt. It is a bit far for beach enjoyment but that wasn't a problem for us as we were busy with different tours and places of interests. Simon and Francine are as friendly to visitors if you wish or if it's privacy they give you that. I appreciated that aspect of staying at Blue Skies. All in all, I highly recommend Blue Skies. Jerry and June

Superb!!
Review Submitted: 28 April 2010
Date of Stay: November 2009
We have been to St Lucia three times and Blue Skieds is definately one of the best places we have stayed.
Francine and Simon the owners, could not have been more helpful. They provide and orientation trip on the day after your arrival, even though we were not new to the island, they showed us things we had not sen before or plaaces we had not been to.
The apartment was superb (1 bed), very spacious and clean and in a lovely setting, with a lovely pool and jacuzzi. Because there are only two apartments there was plenty of room in the pool. The welcome pack in the fridge was very good as we didn't have to venture out to the shops when we arrived.
The location of the apartments was excellent, a 10 minute walk to the marina and about twenty minutes to bars and restaurants in Rodney Bay. I would recommend a taxi back at night, but Simon has the details of a local taxi driver that they recommend.
Blue Skies is a real find and we have already booked to go back again next year. The only problem is if everybody gets to know about it we may not be able to get booked in!!!!!
Excellent!!

Next to our honeymoon this has been our best holiday ever. Thank you Simon & Francine for being such wonderful hosts. Thank you Ellie & Ziggy for befriending and entertaining us! The pool & hot tub are fantastic. Pigeon Island is beautifully relaxing. Our day trips around the island were informative, educational and so much fun. We would not change a thing of the past 3 weeks. We will miss you! Thank you for everything.

An Awesome place to be on Vacation
Review Submitted: 20 April 2010
Date of Stay: February 2010
We have enjoyed hours of photography in your garden,and time in the pool. Francine & Simon you are wonderful hosts & your personal touch is very appreciated. Don't ever change! The apartment is setup to make it easy to feel at home - tasteful, comfortable and well equipped - awesome blender for Pina Coladas. We hope to return and will definately recommend Blus Skies to all our friends. It's been great and we're sad to leave.

Wonderful holiday
Review Submitted: 21 February 2010
Date of Stay: January 2010
Francine and Simon were so welcoming and from the time Simon picked us up at the airport we felt at ease and the stresses of England just disappeared. Property was very spacious, comfortable and well maintained. Spent a few days without a car and enjoyed the walking but Simon and Francine always happy to offer a lift. They also arranged car hire for us which made our organisation of the holiday much easier - it arrived at the appartment and we dropped it off at the airport. Simon and Francine's tour of the local area on our first day was a superb introduction to the Rodney Bay/Pigeon Island/Gros Islet area. Just want to thank them again for making our stay special. Will recommend to friends and family and would love to return.

We spent two weeks at Blue Skies after looking at a few others on the internet, and we where not disappointed at all - such a great find ! Francine and Simon were superb hosts and couldn’t have done more to make our stay feel at home. Great apartment (we were in the 1 bedroom) – it’s really spacious and has all the mod cons you need. The pool is fab and is lit at night. We hired a jeep for a week and explored the island - got lost a number of times in those small villages which was interesting ! – you definitely need a jeep - a car will be wrecked as some of the roads aren’t great. We went on a boat trip - Mango Tango - this was great fun and also a rainforest canopy ride which was very interesting. Francine and Simon were great in being able to show us all the best places to go, and when we had to give the jeep back, being able to drop us down into Rodney bay area . Pigeon Island is a must to go and see by the way - great beach. There are some great restaurants down in the strip area - Fire Grill being our favourite. There is so much we could write as we had such a fab time ( I forgot to mention the helicopter transfer - well worth the money !) we will definitely go back again soon. St Lucia is a very lush island, so different to the others we had visited in the past - well recommended ! Thanks Francine and Simon - See you again Soon !!!

Accommodation and facilities are fantastic 1st class. Simon and Francine were very kind and were always at hand to assist. You definitely need a car as property is about 20 mins walk to Reduit Beach.
Would recommend this property for couples. Would NOT recommend this property to travellers who want to have fun. We are ladies in our forties and we were treated like school children and was told off for bringing our friends from England over for a cup of coffee one sunday morning at 10;30am...... You have to ask Simon/Francine for permission to have a guest come over!
