Anniversary celebration

Raleigh, North Carolina

I can’t say enough about this resort’s facilities, accommodations, and staff. It was an amazing experience. The on-site restaurant was a bit pricey but not more so than anywhere else on the island and the variety on the menu was sufficient for a week’s stay. The staff was super helpful and cheery, always offering suggestions and quick to help you. I’m terrible with names so I didn’t get their names but a waitress went out of her way to purchase for me tamarinds because she heard I was looking for some. All suites have private pools, our pool guy filled our mornings with stories from the area, we learn a bit of history from him. They had a game/tv room, when asked for popcorn the staff quickly responded by getting the materials we needed for the popcorn machine. All staff we encountered were great. The views from our suite were everything we (my husband & I) had imagined...beautiful sunsets, warm breezes, moon lit nights, and because of the room’s design (the fourth wall to your room is not there) the sound of crickets/frogs & whatever else fills a St Lucian night. If you like the comforts of room service with the openness of camping out under the stars, this is definitely the place for you. The bed had a mosquito net so no bugs in the bed and for not having a fourth wall I did not see any bugs in the room. We did encounter a finch that flew to our empty food tray one day looking for left overs, my husband being the bird lover he is, gave him a piece of potato—bang instant friendship! I think it followed us to breakfast in the open air restaurant the next morning. Also want to mention the gym area, it’s small but had free weights, 2 treadmills, 2 bikes, an outdoor shower, lockers, a refrigerator with peppermint scented, rolled up towels!!! Great after a workout!!! The view from here - amazing! Lastly, the resort had a trail you could walk, it led to the top of the mountain, it will eventually have an outdoor yoga area but currently the space is cleared and the view - well you know - amazing! The resort’s concierge can plan your outings or you can go through the local agency Solar Tours & Travel. You can choose from many different adventures around the island...

Honeymoon of My Dreams

I honestly thought there was no place on earth that existed like this! It was absolutely unbelievable. My husband and I went for two nights at the end of our honeymoon in St. Lucia. The only thing we would've changed would've been a few more nights at Ladera! It's the epitome of peaceful and romantic. It's absolutely stunning. And we had the best meal of our life the last night we were there...the "catch of the day" at the restaurant, overlooking the Pitons as the sun was setting...it was unreal. I would highly recommend anybody looking for their dream honeymoon spot to go to Ladera.
