A Step Up from Backpackers

Urban Glamping has great service and great amenities. They helped book tours for us and the staff were very helpful and accommodating. The kitchen area was clean and well-equipped and the pool area was a wonderful place to relax. Tents in the budget village are extremely close together and there is almost no privacy unless locked in your tent. Stairs are steep and suited to a much younger crowd. Bathrooms need servicing.

Lovely Stay

A very clean and well organized place. We stayed in the backpacking section in large tents with 2 twin beds which was very comfortable. It was not busy when we stayed so it may be noisy when they are fully occupied though there is a 10 pm to 6 am quiet time that is enforced. There is a large kitchen that is available to use and the staff keep this very clean as well as a pool. There is also larger private tents with a communal kitchen and pool on the other side that is available. The only downside is that some of the male staff took it upon themselves to use the backpacking section to play there loud music, watch loud TV or play billiards without consideration of the guests.

Very comfortable stay at Monzi Safaris Backpackers

Monzi Safaris Backpackers was a very pleasant surprise on how it was managed, the cleanliness and the friendly staff. We were also very impressed with the communal bathrooms, especially that each cubicle had its own toilet, shower and basin. The communal kitchen area was also kept tidy and clean. Their 'No Noise' Policy was very welcomed by us. It is also well situated in St. Lucia, within walking distance of shops and restaurants. The free muffin, coffee and fruit for breakfast was an added bonus.

Nice Stay in St Lucia

Great location, close to all the shops and restaurants. The best value for money in St Lucia for sure. The tents are small and you can feel a bit cramped after staying a while plus it is a bit annoying to walk downstairs to go to the bathroom so maybe consider upgrading.. They do have a very nice swimming pool, kitchen & lounge area.. It was perfect for what we needed.

Un backpackers original avec des double tent positionnées les unes à côté des autres sous un toit en hauteur, comme si des dortoirs avaient été remplacés par des tentes. Par conséquent, il peut y avoir du bruit le soir jusque tard et dès 6h le matin, comme ce fut notre cas. Mise à part le bruit, l’endroit est vraiment top et le personnel agréable. Un grand espace cuisine et un frigidaire sont à notre disposition ainsi qu’une grande piscine et des coins canapés. Enfin, le backpackers propose des activités !
