  • Maran and Richard, We would like to thank you very much for helping make our vacation to St. Lucia such a wonderful and memorable time. Chateau Devaux was absolutely a wonderful place to stay! With all the amenities coupled with the picturesque views and the phenomenal sunsets we could not ask for a more perfect spot. Most importantly we would like to thank you for all of your kindness and hospitality. You made us feel completely at home and like members of the family. We would also like to thank you for all your assistance with helping us set up our excursions and activities on the island. You definitely went the extra mile to ensure we had the best time possible. So once again we would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to you and your family for making our vacation experience on St. Lucia absolutely top notch! We have already shared our experiences with many family and friends and have highly recommended Chateau Devaux as a wonderful place to stay and enjoy their time on the island. I just hope we will beat them all to it! Thank you again for everything and we look forward to seeing you again soon! Sincerely, Linnea and Jeff Loserth

  • Maran and Richard, We would like to thank you for making our first visit to St Lucia something we will always treasure. There are so many things to thank you both for but we’ll start with your beautiful home. The villa speaks for itself and it’s certainly understandable why you miss Chateau Devaux now and again. The views were absolutely amazing! From the sunsets to the lights of Martinique to the early morning sunrises; just breathtaking. Aside from the gorgeous views, the villa was definitely more than we expected, the pictures hardly do the place justice. The kitchen was perfect having all the pots, pans, utensils, and china we needed. We spent most of our mealtime eating outside enjoying the breeze and of course the dining and sitting rooms indoors were just as pleasant. Having stayed in the master suite, which was very romantic, made our stay even more enjoyable. Falling asleep to the waves after big dinners a couple of Pitons was so relaxing ? For anyone that stays at the villa, they will know just how nice it is the minute they walk in the door. But what they won’t know is how lovely you both were. From the very beginning, before we had even decided to stay at your villa, you answered so many emails full of countless question for us. You were so welcoming when we had arrived, with Pitons cooling in the refrigerator!! It felt like we were visiting family and not just escaping our busy lives. Helping us find our way down to Rodney Bay, making great restaurant suggestions, and setting up our activities was much appreciated. We have both traveled all over the world and you both showed us more kindness than we would have ever expected. Your thoughtfulness, even after we had returned home, will never be forgotten. Again, Maran and Richard, we thank you for everything you did for us. We send our love to you and your beautiful children and hope to be back very soon!! Dianne and Mike

    Dear Mike and Dianne,You're very welcome...Thank you for your lovely comments and for choosing Chateau Devaux. It was indeed a pleasure meeting you both. Mike,it was great to put a face to all the emails;and Dianne you must be one of the warmest,most pleasant people I've ever met. You guys are true travellers and organising your activities was very exciting for us.We certainly hope this is not the end of the road and we'll see more of you in the future.Take care of yourselves and do keep in touch. Love,Richard,Maran and the kids

  • To compliment the beautiful island that is St Lucia, with its warm and friendly people and no journey too far, a stay on the Cap Estate at Maran and Richard's wonderfully appointed villa is a must for any visitor. The moment we arrived at Chateau DeVaux, we were made to feel most welcome with Richard and Maran making sure our holiday was going to be an unforgettable one. Having breakfasts of mango and banana on the veranda overlooking the St Lucia Channel, made for a perfect start to every day. We were fortunate that we visited during the Carnival season which was a very enjoyable experience, but there are so many other sights to take in within easy reach of the villa and you can do it at whatever pace suits - just like the locals! You could of course always stay and sunbathe by the lovely inviting pool taking numerous dips and drinking plenty of iced drinks - yes even the ice cubes are safe. We stayed for three weeks but so wished it could have been three months. St Lucia and the villa are paradise. Thank you Maran and Richard for everything. Look forward to seeing you again soon Graham, Jan and Family, Hertfordshire,England

  • The views here really are spectacular whether it happens to be sunny or rainy. The air is silky - there's no other way to describe it! It was amazing waking up to beautiful sunrises or standing on the verandah, watching the sun go down, or watching the rain clouds move in across the ocean (weather watchers will love it). One of my favourite places was the gazebo, where I spent a few lazy afternoons just relaxing in the hammock listening to music, enjoying the tropical breezes and the view. What more do you need on holiday?! Just perfect.

  • This is such a beautiful villa - it's spacious, comfortable, private and the location is stunning! The really special part is how warm and welcoming it is - it feels like home. It broke our hearts to leave...we both loved staying here. Thank you both so much for everything. We would not hesitate to recommend staying here to all our friends back in the UK (they're all very envious!)and would love to come back again. P.S. I loved that the kitchen is so well equipped - useful for those with allergies or on special diets. We made good use of it, supplemented with trips to the tasty Rodney Bay restaurants and bars!

  • Dear Maran and Richard Thank you both so much for letting us stay in your beautiful home on St Lucia. We say 'home' not house because we know that it was your home before you moved on, and to us it has that homely feel. The position is perfect, fantastic views across the straits to Martinique and aligned to catch the north easterly breezes to make the hottest days bearable. We lived outside as you know, but the clever design means that the inside still gives great views. We loved having the pool too for pre-breakfast or late evening dips. The outdoor bar was a real bonus and the stunningly positioned gazebo with its hammock...... aah! The area is about as quiet as you can get on the island yet the golf club and Rodney Bay with its wonderful choice of restaurants, Smugglers Cove and Secret Beach are all only a few minutes away. Oh, and we've not even mentioned the wonderful St Lucian family living next door - the Devaux - who made sure we had everything we needed. We believe it is the best house on the island and would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone thinking of a vacation on our favourite Caribbean island. They had better get in quick though because we are on our way back! With love and best wishes. Gaynor and Paul Aspin
