Complexe Santa Lucia Douala — Attraction in Communauté urbaine de Douala

The service is good and really classic, you're not coerced to buy something just because it's a supermarket or at least a mini one like you'll see elsewhere. You can freely move explore and ask your questions to be better informed about the products and where to find them. And with moderate prices for a high class shop.

Location: It's easily reachable as it is located not far from the business square of Ndokoti and the University of Douala. There's good parking space and bikes readily waiting outside to get to you home. So you won't have to stress yourself in trying to carry your groceries.

Products: You'll find a great variety of products and services (particularly culinary services) ranging from body care products to fresh vegetables and fruits through African cuisine spices, toilet and washing supplies, electronic appliances etc. There's a bakery with diverse delicacies.

After Purchase Control: I personally found the strict after purchase control a little bit of strange experience. You pay for your purchase then you take your receipt out to someone who will cross check the content of the bag to the list on receipt. This is surely to combat theft, an added line of security to the existing security cameras and agents. However it was good though it can be a little embarrassing for someone who isn't expecting it and may have bought some very "personal items". The check happens outside just by the entrance door and relax your items don't leave your plastic bag (lol) so only the agent checking will see.

Food: if you feel hunger while shopping, relax they got you got your covered with a bakery and a barbecue area for meat lovers.

I liked the place, its grandeur is fitting for all to visit even just for eye shopping lol. You can develop your attitude by walking in places like coz your mind is pushed beyond its limits.

Four (4) stars because I like the place and was satisfied with the service. I only had a challenge finding my way cuz there are not labels on the sections where you can each category of product. It's bad if you're in a hurry but fun if you have all the time and don't mind getting lost lol! PS: I tried taking a DISCRETE video of my tour in there, you'll get an idea of how some things happen particularly the after purchase check. And don't expect quality - this is not Hollywood 😂 Santa Lucia...

Apart from the rude waiters at the food section,today Monday the 22nd of March 2021 carries the worse experience I have ever had in any of the branches. I bought chicken and spaghetti and I asked them to warm the food,they said the microwave is bad.I took the food home,after a a few bites,I discovered house fly maggots on the chicken. I think these waiters and chefs should be given proper training on food safety and...

Qui n'aime pas Santa Lucia? Trop beau trop propre et beaucoup plein de petits parfums et odeurs délicieux, attirants et très très tentant surtout pour les amoureux des petits délices. Entre glace et prêt à emporter, vous trouverez de variétés de vin , de nécessité ménagère, des outils de bureau, accessoires et jouets pour enfin , fruits et légumes, bref un marché dans un marché quoi. Non loin du dit lieu nous avons le fameux STADE CICAM suivie de ANGE RAPHAËL. Toujours non loin du complexe on trouve le fast food nouvellement opérationnel KMC et si l'on chemin avant Santa Lucia, l'on pourrait apercevoir le complexe ou l'usine de GUINNESS CAMEROUN( juste avant Santa Lucia pour ceux venant de ndokoti et après Santa Lucia pour ceux venant de Bepanda,deido). Un super marché encore plus beau durant la nuit dû au différents éclairage et l'ambiance qui y mène. Sans oublier les différents snack bars qui peuplent les environs...
