Sunsets, swimming & cocktails!
This was such a magical week in St.Lucia! The views from our room were just stunning. The room itself was very comfortable, beautiful pool, well stocked mini fridge and bathroom. We hiked the steep trail to the yoga platform 2X, the panoramic views were beautiful. We enjoyed morning yoga on the pool deck (shout out to the instructor, he was great and funny), every breakfast was as fabulous, delish cocktails, room service dinner in our room at sunset between swimming and was perfect. The entire staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. We took several excursions- highlight was the ATV tour! Check out The Chocolate Project across the street. Google it. Fun spot with yummy unique milkshakes. *mosquitoes are no joke here! Wear bug spray!

Better than Perfect
Nothing can beat the view from the rooms. The free shuttle to Malgrétoute Beach and Sugar Beach make it easy to enjoy the ocean and beach within a 5-10 minute ride. If you want simple and just want to go to the sulfur springs and get in the mud without a big tour it’s only $15 to taxi there and back and $10 per person to get in. The hotel gives you a cell phone to take with you anywhere you go so if you do get a taxi anywhere you just call the hotel and tell them when you’re ready to come back. Everyone was so friendly and had a smile on their face and made it so welcoming and some even called us by our names the entire time. The rooms were clean and it felt like every time I left the room I came back to everything refreshed and replaced. Soda, beer and mineral water always stocked in the fridge and a Nespresso machine with full water for every morning. Not a single person pressured or hinted at any type of tip but of course we always tipped very well because everyone always did a fantastic job. All meals were delicious and fresh and the cocktails and smoothies very vibrant. Definitely walk the property and the trails to the tree house it took us around 2 hours but we went slow and looked at all the plants, fruit trees, outdoor gym, the 300 year old mango tree, the greenhouse and garden. It never felt packed or busy and we were always quick to be served but enjoy that slow island time you are meant to enjoy everything and that means slowing down. We were nervous about not having A/C and it being too warm but there was a ceiling fan and an additional standing fan and I actually used a comforter every night it was perfect. They light two slow burning mosquito repellent incense for you every night in your room when you’re at dinner so when you get back there’s no bugs and then a net around the bed for while you sleep. If I could rate Ladera any higher than perfect I would.

The most amazing trip, we cannot wait to return! The best all around resort experience!
Ladera has it all! The grounds are beautifully kept and the views are gorgeous! We hiked to the yoga platform with a view of the Pitons most days and spent time relaxing at the tree house. The Thursday night fish fry is a must!! Get the Lobster - thank me later! The staff at Ladera are warm and welcoming. The moment we arrived and loaded up in the Moke, Schol showed us around the property and to our room. Schol along with Darrel checked in each day and took great care to ensure we had an amazing trip. We spent 2 fun nights at The Hideaway hanging out with Hilarious and had the best time. He had great recommendations for rum and snacks to try. Everyone is so friendly and ensures that you enjoy your time while you are at Ladera. Our room was absolutely incredible and we loved the open air experience. The incense at night kept the bugs away and I enjoyed my early mornings as sunlight crept in. We had breakfast each day in the room and it was always delivered on time and warm, with delicious breads and pastries. Dasheene, the resort restaurant is where we ate dinner every evening. The food is excellent and we had something new at every meal. Friday night of our trip there was also a great local band playing. The concierge at the resort helped us set up all of our reservations including a sunset catamaran cruise and the Soufriere Experience, I highly recommend both. Go to the mud baths early- they will be less crowded before the cruise ship passengers arrive and it is so calm and actually relaxing. The Botanical gardens were lovely and the cold waterfall is a great experience. The spa at Ladera was one of my favorite mornings. The facilities are brand new and gorgeous. I had a coconut scrub and massage treatment followed by a relaxing time at the beautiful pool. While we found so many fun things to do, the pool and lounge chairs in the room provided a great hang out spot and perfect view every afternoon as the sun set. Ladera is such a special place and we cannot wait to be back!

Amazing once in a lifetime resort
We stayed at Ladera over Christmas which also included our 25th wedding anniversary with our daughters. Will say it’s breathtaking. The boutique resort of about 30-35 rooms provides a great laid back vibe with best of the best views, amenities, people and overall experience. We travel a lot and this was different than anything else you would consider 5 star. Open air concept to the rainforest which gets 160” of rain annually. You have 2 solid walls, 1 wall closed off with open slat windows for the breeze and 1 side fully open to the rain forest that is nestled between the two pitons and the Caribbean ocean. Postcards do the view no justice. That’s how spectacular the view is. You sleep in a plush bed with mosquito netting surrounding the bed. True “glamping” at its best. Wake up to the rain forest and the pitons was out of this world. Oh and no AC and I will say it wasn’t needed during our stay. Rooms were great, bathrooms very well done with amazing wood work and a private pool in our room which was slightly heated to the perfect temp and views to die for!! Sunsets amazing, food was great and excursions were all booked at the resort with great travel arrangements they handled for us. The rum bar/ speak easy layout was a gem. Chef Nigel and the food staff were on point. Breakfast, lunch poolside and dinner we did at the resort many of our days and all delicious. The spa was facing the volcano side of the island so the view was different but all so good and spectacular. Staff and services at the spa from hello was top notch. Spend the day at the spa, it is easy to do. For our anniversary we did the couples harmony spa day and it was spectacular with the massage time, our own private pool served with champagne and chocolate strawberries was amazing. The main spa pool was great to spend an afternoon and the food was amazing. The spa staff was great. They have a nature trail walk which is a great climb and amazing views once you reach the top. Great yoga platform overlooking the pitons was pretty cool. So food, spa, rooms, amenities, and excursions all covered and amazing! Now to the staff. So many to name and I actually had a lot of the departments write down names so I could call them all out but the list is too long. I will say this. They know your name during your stay and they all from the gardeners and ground guys to the head managers all truly want to make your stay amazing. The ladies at the front desk day and night made our trip 5 star. Handled all our requests and needs. They will take amazing care of you. To all the staff, thank you! Our trip was everything we had hoped. And the whole staff will know who wrote this review because they took the time to know us and I wanted to know about them also. Can’t wait to come back. From the guests in room O and P we can’t wait to see you all again.

Amazing, romantic honeymoon location. The view from the room is breathtaking! Very intimate with wonderful workers
My husband and I went here for our honeymoon. We did the peak to beach package. When you walk into your room and see that amazing view of the pitons, it doesn’t even feel real! The whole stay, the view was just out of this world! We felt this was the perfect, romantic, intimate stay we needed for our honeymoon. This was our first time in an open air room and we enjoyed it! The hotel does offer insect repellent to use during your stay there. If you are a light sleeper, bring some ear plugs as some nights the tree frogs were very loud. Other nights it was just regular nature noises! The service was outstanding. Our butler would call and check on us to make sure we were doing okay. He was great at helping get excursions booked and very prompt! The restaurant was amazing as well and me and my husband enjoyed the food (he is a picky eater). We enjoyed the nature walk that the resort offers! We also loved our couple massage! The heated pool was perfect for us and we were in and out of it all day! All the staff was so friendly! I can’t say enough good things about our stay there! We would definitely come back!
