A remarkably memorable vacation!

We've been home in Chicago for a few days now and every evening we look up at the moon and comment that it is also shining over Marigot Bay. We will never forget the incredible experience of being your guests at the Inn.  As you know we are planning on coming back in 15 months and have already convinced some of our friends and family to join us. Bob just served me some pineapple which he cut exactly as Louise does.  It is not nearly as good, but brings back good memories.  We will not eat mangos or bananas for a while because we know we will be disappointed. Bob has complained since we got home because there is no one to prepare his morning coffee, muffins, and fruit!!!

We loved all the special attention and assistance you lavished on us. It was such a thrill to feel that we were part of the small community of Marigot Bay, because we were Normand's guests. You cannot imagine our pleasant surprise when Gildette at the Chateau Mygo brought our check at the end of our first visit and asked if we were ready for her to call Normand. When we asked how she knew we were staying with Normand, she replied that she saw him drop us off for dinner. We appreciated all your advice, scheduling, reservations, and the energy you invested in making our vacation perfect.

I am so pleased that we found you and trusted our instincts when we booked our stay at the Inn. You made that decision easy by your quick response to our first email which you followed up with a phone call.

I particularly appreciated the way that you fostered a spirit of community among your guests. It was fun to meet so many interesting people and share the unique experience of being your guests. One of our fondest memories is the evening that we spent with you at the Green Parrot. We highly recommend you as dinner guests to anyone.  We completely enjoyed the lively conversation, relaxing atmosphere, excellent wine and delectable offerings of Chef Harry.

PS: This was our best Honeymoon yet, (Number 11!!)

The most beautiful place on the island!

We are still laughing at your jokes Normand, and Louise, we miss your breakfasts...don't usually take the time to eat in the morning at home. If you have a chance - could you e-mail me your recipe for your cheddar cheese muffins - Michael has not stopped raving about them.

We had a simply wonderful time. Booking our stay at the Inn on the Bay was the smartest thing we ever did, and we certainly chose the most beautiful place on the island. We will highly recommend your home to anyone we know who is planning to travel to St. Lucia, and please feel free to give our email address to any potential guests who are looking for information about staying with you.

Until we meet again....

A memorable experience!

Thank you so much for your hospitality and your attentiveness to our needs. You have made our trip an enjoyable and memorable experience. 

We certainly appreciate for your suggestions on our daily activity, it sure beats thinking on vacation. We knew nothing about St. Lucia prior to the trip but we have lots of fond memories about this island, we believe the view from above at The Inn over looking Marigot Bay is worth staying here. 

We hope to return to the island in the future and we sure will stay at your home. And Louise, we love your breakfast; Normand, we appreciate your sense of humor!!!

Sincerely, 

Tim and Kristina Tran - Maryland, USA - timothyptran@msn.com 

Our little slice of heaven in paradise!

We will recommend your wonderful Inn on the Bay to all of our friends.  Needless to say, you both made us feel very much at home and comfortable!  

Our room was lovely and we can't tell you how much we appreciated arriving and seeing that the windows have screens!!  Not that your place had a single mosquito--it DID NOT--but there is something very comforting about opening the window and having a screen between oneself and the outside!  

The breeze was absolutely wonderful and we slept very well every night. Also, your Inn is perfectly located in a central position to visit all  of the sights and snorkeling spots on the island.  We really enjoyed the snorkel spot that you have at the foot of your stairs!  The water at your snorkel spot is very clear and calm.  

As we had never visited St. Lucia before, we had not a clue where to stay.  We are sure happy that we found your Inn on the Bay--our little slice of heaven in paradise!

Thanks again for all the rides you gave us and your help with everything!

Hope to see you again soon.

Marigot Bay is truly paradise!

Dear Louise and Normand... Merci beaucoup! Thank you so much for a very enjoyable vacation. We loved staying at your Inn and enjoyed your warm hospitality. We will tell all our friends about your place and your quiet little paradise!

The Inn was the perfect place to celebrate out 30th year of marriage. Perfect weather! Perfect accomodations! Great food and service! Marigot Bay is truly paradise.

We hope to return someday soon.

Best regards,

Our 2nd year in a row!

We have been wanting to get back with you and let you know what a good time we had again this year but got tied back into our work and everyday routine and let things slip.This was our 2nd year in a row and what a grand time we had, even better then last year!

This year we stayed 2 weeks which gave us the time to adventure with a 4-wheel drive on more of the back roads
on the north and east sides of the island. We tried to take every road we came upon and didn't miss many! Every day was a fun filled adventure as we headed out never knowing what to expect. The local people were very friendly and always helpful. 

The mornings at breakfast and evenings before dinner were spent with the other guests on the patio sharing their daily adventures and getting to know each other. Normand and Louise are wonderful hosts. You are in good hands here. Normand with early morning coffee and the anticipation of Lousie's chocolate bread. Superb. The weather is wonderful with comfortable tropical breezes and the occasional quick showers. Oh! don't forget steak night at the Shack in Marigot Bay. Ultimate place to relax and play.

Thanks again for a wonderful time,

Rita & Bob Sussman - Littleton, Colorado, USA - rjsussman@earthlink.net

Our second stay at the Inn On The Bay!

Mary and I loved our second stay at the Inn On The Bay. Normand and Louise were wonderful hosts as always. We enjoyed the morning breakfast consisting of coffee, fresh fruit, cheese, cereals, and homemade breads that Louise prepared every morning. Evenings were spent sitting on the deck drinking a French wine that Norman and Louise had selected for us. 

Normand is a very humorous and entertaining host. Both he and Louise cater to their guests, which provides for a wonderful and relaxing vacation. There are many possible outings, which guests can enjoy. Since we had been to the southern part of the island on our first trip to St. Lucia, this time we enjoyed a day of sailing to Rodney Bay and Pigeon Point which Norman organized for us. 

Though it is fun to see as much of the beautiful island of St. Lucia as possible, it is fantastic to return to the Inn on the Bay each evening to partake of this little bit of paradise. It is truly a very special place.

We now know what paradise looks like!  

Our holiday at Marigot Bay was undoubtedly the best ever thanks to Normand and Louise and of course, the other guests staying at The Inn on the Bay.  The views from the Inn were fantastic, and the accommodation excellent.  Our hosts hospitality, attention to our every need and the chauffeur service to the bay really made our holiday.

We will never forget morning breakfast spent talking with the other guests.  Enjoying the excellent selection of fruits, homemade bread and all the other items too numerous to mention.  But also the humour.  Normand, your jokes really set us up for the day!

We are constantly looking at the photographs of our holiday, the sailing, snorkelling and the Island trips continue to bring back very happy memories.  Also, remembering the great time we had relaxing around the pool with Sandy and Jerry, Richard and Sylvie, Dave and Sharon, Jerry and Chris.  Happy days!

Kathy and I wish you every success for the future and we look forward to returning for that promised reunion.

We are hoping to come again next year!

We arrived home safe and sound last night about 1:00 a.m.  We returned to below zero temperatures and 2" of snow. How rude!!  At least it isn't supposed to last long.

I think last week at this time, we were about 1/2 way back up the steps that goes down to the Bay.  We had to stop at all the benches.  George had some questions for Dale to ponder on. :) 

We had a most wonderful trip as we knew we would.  The view at your Inn on the Bay is unbelievably magnificient and of course, the delicious breakfasts every morning shared with Mr. and Mrs. Bullfinch, among others, power lounging and playing cards by the pool,  yours and Louise' gracious hospitality, not to mention humor, impressions, and lots of answers to almost any question one might have, made our stay even more enjoyable.  

We will miss meeting at 6:00 p.m. for the Sunset Club.  It is a great idea for the guests to "bond".  I thought George and Dale did that well, didn't you?  Thank you for all of your recommendations as to restaurants, making our reservations for the Jungle Tour, and anything else we needed.  

You and Louise made our vacation to St. Lucia even more relaxing and enjoyable because we didn't have to worry or stress about where to go, what to do, etc. --  an added feature that most B&B's don't bother with, unfortunately.

Once again, we all had a most wonderful vacation at Inn on the Bay and we are hoping to come again next year, same time, same place.  We'll keep in touch and thanks again for everything. 

Regards to you both,

Carole & Dale Pashea - St. Albans, MO, USA  

We enjoyed our stay at your beautiful place so very much.  You both made us feel so welcome and comfortable.  We have enjoyed our pictures over and over and always comment how beautiful the views are from your hilltop.  St. Lucia is indeed a paradise and we hope someday to visit you again.  Thank you for your warm hospitality, good food, rides to and from and reservations and just for a delightful time!

Our best holiday ever!

We are back in reality. It is cold and wet and we are both suffering from thermal shock.

Well what can we say other than thank you both so much for our wonderful stay at the Inn On The Bay. The setting, the standard of accommodation and your attentiveness to your guests were the major factor in us enjoying our best holiday ever. You made us feel we were staying with friends.

We are looking forward to visiting the Inn On The Bay again in the not to distant future. This is a must as I (Dave) have to visit the Green Parrot again and try that special starter.

You really do give your guests the opportunity to sample a little bit of paradise. One could be forgiven for thinking one had died and gone to heaven.

We wish you both continued success and happiness and look forward to staying with you when we next visit the island.

Best regards,

Carole and Dave White - Lavendon, UK. - dwhite@dwatech.fsnet.co.uk

We felt special with you!

Well, here we are back in cold Canada, with the wind chill bringing the temperature to -27.  That's shock treatment!!

We discovered Marigot Bay while taking a one-day catamaran tour around the coast of St. Lucia in February 2001.  It was so beautiful and peaceful, we were determined to return there for a vacation.  We noticed the buildings overlooking the bay and wondered if they were actually available as tourist accommodations.  So it was off to the internet.

We came upon the Inn on the Bay.  We looked no further.  Your website is great and gave us a wealth of information,  not only about your Inn, but about the many things to do on the island .  The testimonials were wonderful, your guests have nothing but good things to say about you - and it's all true. 

Paul & I had a wonderful week.  You are wonderful hosts.  The breakfasts on the deck overlooking the bay were fantastic.  Such a picturesque setting to accompany Louise's marvelous muffins, incredible croissants, fabulous fruits, coffee, juice etc, etc.  Now we just have a bowl of cereal and off to work we go......

Normand, you were always there to ensure we had everything we needed - arranging tours, suggesting restaurants, driving us to and from Marigot Bay, and of course those jokes - yes, those jokes..........

The tours were great  - the Jungle Tour with Kendall; Les Pitons - there's something magical about them; the north shore with Moses for a shopping and beach day; the Friday night Jump Up Party at Anse La Raye; the tour to Castries.  We did a lot in one week and we thank you for arranging all of these.  

It was a different holiday for us.  We normally take all-inclusive vacations, staying at large hotels and becoming lost in the crowds.  We felt special with you.  You pay attention to detail and treat your guests like friends.  Our vacation was so relaxing.  There was one problem, however.  It wasn't long enough!!!

We certainly plan to visit again some day and can highly recommend the Inn on the Bay.

We would love to come back one day!

Many thanks for our souvenir  - we would just like to say in our understated British way that we enjoyed our time with you both very much and would love to come back one day.

Thank you both for making our honeymoon a very special time and for feeding Alison with cheese muffins - the points that I have accumulated will be a tremendous help to me in the future!

Wishing you both the very best regards,
