    A Special Place

    I haven’t been keeping up with my TripAdvisor reviews but wanted to post one for Ladera. My husband & I have traveled to many places around the world and both agree that Ladera is a very special place. The views from the property, from your private room are unforgettable. Upon checking in, we felt as if we were on a second honeymoon. Some items to note are as follows: - Roundtrip airport transfers were complimentary. - Breakfast at Dasheene was complimentary and included a wide variety of choices. - Roundtrip shuttles to Malgretoute Beach and Sugar Beach were complimentary. - Yoga classes were complimentary. - The resort offered hiking trails on-site as well as an indoor gym and an outdoor gym. - Reservations were recommended for dinner at Dasheene, we ate there several times and enjoyed each meal, the menu rotated every other day. - We ate dinner at Hotel Chocolat one night, it was a short walk across the street from Ladera. - There was a main pool onsite, but we mostly swam in our private heated pool. - We didn’t have issues with bugs and slept great in the fresh air; the fans kept the temperature comfortable at night. We would very much recommend this resort for a honeymoon or special occasion (for those who love the outdoors) and hope to return in the future.

    A trip 10 years in the making.

    When I first learned about Ladera 10 years ago, I knew this is where I wanted to spend my 20th wedding anniversary and it was a great decision. This place is like no where on earth. I travel a bit for work and get to experience some amazing hotels and none come close to Ladera and its staff. The team here is bar none, top class. They were very helpful and everyone greeted you with a smile, from your butler to the groundskeepers. Let me address some of those standard concerns as well. The temperature was perfect. the first day we got there the pool was super cold, which during the day felt refreshing but at night, it was too cold. I let the team know and they were on it, and the second night it was a good temp all around. The bugs: we are south florida natives so bugs don't concern us too much. As far as the hotel room it wasn't a problem. The linens are very clean and the bed was super comfortable. we saw a couple of large, but amazing looking moths that happened into our room and then didn't bother us. My wife is a mosquito magnet and she did get bit a little at dinner, we feel it was more our fault for not putting on the spray and we had done the superman hike earlier that day, so the shade is a big place for mosquitos. So with that, use the provided sprays if you know mosquitos get you. Didn't have a problem with bugs in the bed area, or in the pool. The temperature in the room was great. Mid november it was lovely with the breeze and the fans. One thing that did catch me off guard was the sound of the crickets. I had never heard crickets like they have there. It sounded like a laser battle! The provided ear protection and floor fans did help to mask that sound a little bit. It woke me up a couple of times during the night, but funny enough the whole trip I never felt tired. The fresh air, fresh food, the piton beer and the view of the pitons kept me nourished. Ladera is an absolute must to put on your bucket list. We will always cherish our time there and now thanks to them, we are huge fans of jerk chicken!

We can’t wait to return! A beautiful & unique experience.

    Exceptional Service, Breathtaking Views, and the Perfect Anniversary Getaway

    Ladera Resort in St. Lucia deserves more than five stars—our entire stay was absolutely unforgettable. We celebrated our ten-year marriage anniversary here, and everyone on the team went above and beyond to make sure it was truly special. The service was top-notch from the moment we arrived, and every staff member we met was warm, friendly, and genuinely dedicated to making our experience perfect. A huge shout-out to Dayne, our driver to and from the airport—he welcomed us with such kindness, made us feel comfortable right away, and set the tone for an amazing stay. Every meal we had was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Housekeeping ensured our room was spotless every single day. And the butler service was exceptional across the board. Special recognition goes to the wonderful butlers who assisted us: Rohan, Saidely, Vianney, and especially Devonte, our main butler who took care of us most often. Their attentiveness and timing were incredible—there were moments when we weren’t expecting anything, yet a butler was already outside our room ready to assist. Our room featured a breathtaking view of the Pitons and the Caribbean Sea—waking up to that every morning felt surreal. The entire resort is incredibly peaceful and allows you to truly disconnect from technology so you can experience the island’s beauty in its purest form. The views, the nature, and the quiet serenity alone are enough to make you fall in love with this place. By the end of our stay, we genuinely felt like family, and we will absolutely be returning in the future. Overall, Ladera exceeded every expectation and made our anniversary unforgettable. If you’re looking for luxury, tranquility, and impeccable service, this resort is second to none. Highly recommend!
