So intimate and romantic!
We had such an amazing time at ladera for the first few days of our honeymoon! The room was absolutely incredible, even more beautiful than the photos. The staff were all so sweet and attentive. The butler service was such an awesome addition that we haven’t experienced before. We went in off season so it was very quiet, not many other people there, which was great for the intimate/romantic vibe. The spa was 10/10. One of the best massages I’ve had and the room for it was out of this world with the open views and infinity pool. The bugs and heat were also not bad at all with the open 4th wall. If you don’t mind being in the elements a little, it was a really cool stay!

Amazing St.Lucia getaway!
Ladera Resort was even better than we imagined. Our suite was incredible-the best view & amenities. The entire resort staff was extremely kind and helpful (special shout outs to Vianney, Felix & Ariella for exceptional service/ hospitality) Highly recommend booking a meal package because all the food is incredible. We were so happy to stay active utilizing the outdoor gym, fitness center & hiking trails with incredible views. Highly recommend Ladera for your honeymoon or any special occasion!

Dream Vacation at Ladera Resort
My husband and I love Soufriere, St Lucia! We started going there in 2004 and this was our 7th trip to St Lucia. We splurged this year and finally got to stay up in the mountain top at Ladera Resort! It was even more magical than we ever dreamed it would be to stay at Ladera! From the moment you arrive, the staff treated us so special….always going above & beyond making sure we were happy with everything! We were booked into a Rainbow Suite and we were so excited to get upgraded into a Hilltop Suite! We never got tired of the views between the two Pitons while looking down at boats along Sugar Beach! This was our first time staying in an open-air suite with only 3 walls. I was worried about the Heat in August with only ceiling fans and standing fans by our bedside, but the cool mountain breezes made it very comfortable. If we got hot, we just went for a swim in our plunge pool or jump in main pool which was kept at an even cooler temperature and was very refreshing swim! We Loved to listen to the waterfall water running into our pool, such a calming white noise. We enjoyed all the free amenities that Ladera had to offer - Garden Tour, Discovery Tour, Nature Hike & the Manager’s Happy Hour! We also went to the new spa at Ladera Resort- Leve Spa (only opened last year) . We had an amazing St Lucian Spice massage, which was followed by a special lunch at Dasheene, which was the most delicious lunch we had in the 10 days we were in St Lucia! Loved that they also provided free transportation down to Malgretoute Beach and Sugar Beach. They both have chairs & umbrellas you can rent as well as beachside restaurants for drinks & lunch. We love the snorkeling at Malgretoute Beach. We saw so many different fish - barracudas, needle nose, scuttle fish, Sargent Majors, parrot fish and even a yellow fin tuna! On our last day we even saw a really cool spotted water snake swimming around the rocks along the beach, which I was told was not poisonous. Breakfast was included and it had such a nice variety of choices - fresh fruit plate, coffees, smoothies, fresh baked warm pastries, egg dishes, pancakes, waffles, crepes and so much more….pretty much anything you’d ever want! We ate lunches and dinners at Ladera most days….food was always so delicious and the staff were all so sweet…they made our stay so memorable! Thank you to all Ladera staff for taking such good care of us - reception, the spa, restaurant, housekeeping and Butlers… YOU ALL ROCK!

Amazing Resort
Absolutely amazing views and service! My husband and I stayed at Ladera for 3 nights at the start of our St. Lucian vacation and we both fell in love with this beautiful resort! Everyone that works there is so kind and helpful. They all seem to know your names after the first day! The views from the room is almost unbelievable and something I will cherish forever! Waking up to the sunrise and the birds chirping was amazing. I was worried about being hot with no A/C, but we both slept like babies and had to use the covers. The only time I was warm was while getting ready in the bathroom. I think it might help if they put a fan in the bathroom. The only other issue we had we made the mistake of leaving bathroom light on the first night and the bugs were crazy outside of our bed netting, but once the light was off there was no issues! The food at Dasheene was incredible. The breakfast was included and you had so many choices. We chose to eat our lunches around the pool and the service was top notch. The evening meals at Dasheene had the most amazing views but the only downside was shortly after sunset the bugs were crazy. I actually had to cover my shoulders with a napkin because they were so bothersome. I’m not sure why they were so bad here because we ate dinner at Hotel Chocolat across the street one night and had zero bug issues! We booked the volcano and mud bath experience with the resort and had the best time! Benton was our private driver for the day and I highly recommend! We also went to the spa while we were there and had a couples massage. It was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend. We hiked 2 of the trails there and although they are a bit challenging the views at the top are worth it! We felt very safe the entire time we were there and the security seems very attentive. If you are on the fence about booking Ladera… don’t!! It’s an amazing place that I will never forget and we would love to return one day to experience it again!!
