Expect an Experience

Texas

We recently stayed at the Ladera Resort for 7 days and really enjoyed it. Our only complaint would be the many, many stairs on the property, We stayed in one of the Hill Top Dream Suites and there were 72 steps from the reception to the room and another 8 just inside the door. However, the height lends itself to an amazing view! There are other rooms that did not have all the steps. Ladera is an experience - there are only 3 walls, making the room open to the outside and beautiful view. I have seasonal allergies and was concerned not sleeping in an air controlled environment would be a problem, but I had absolutely no issues. We loved sleeping with the bird noises, wind blowing, fountain gurgling into the pool, not to mention the stars. It was February and the days were in the upper 70's and the nights were nice and cool with occasional brief showers that some and go very quickly.. There is always a breeze. The real gem of Ladera, besides the views, is the staff! They are extremely nice and accommodating - several of them felt like family by the time we left. I asked for a magnifying mirror prior to my arrival and it was in the room when we got there. Vianney was a favorite and all the ladies at the restaurant were so special! We booked two excurisions that were through the resort with Feel Good Water Taxis. One was to Castries for sightseeing and shopping - Kevin and Albert gave us a wonderful of the city and also made us feel safe then on the ride back lots of stops to show us where movies were filmed or celebrities houses or history of the island - loved it! Our other excursion was Fish Fridays in Gros Islet. It is a street party with lots of music where everyone sells food, liquor or handcrafted goods. We ate at Duke's Place - the wait was over 45 minutes in the line but the lobster was worth it. The restaurant at the resort, Dasheene, was fairly good. The dinner lasted 2 hours every night - so don't be in a hurry. Ladera is located in the mountains between the Pitons - they have an agreement with Sugar Beach which is directly below and a shuttle that runs a few times a day. The beach is beautiful with a oceanside bar and restaurant. We ate there once and it was very good. Be sure to bring your towels (Ladera provides towels specifically for you to take there).

Great Restaurant with Great Views to Boot!

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

We went to the Ladera Resort for lunch after hiking the Tet Nature Trail. First off, be sure to make a reservation for lunch - the parking lot is gated. Next, the food and service was outstanding, and was only eclipsed by the views of the Pitons that you get to see while dining. Our party of four was pleased with our lunches and the scenery making this one of the highlights of our trip to St. Lucia.
