The only place to stay on St. Lucia!

It lives up to the expectations. Romantic, private, luxurious. You don't really need a beachfront hotel on this island, opt for Ladera your entire stay - and you won't be disappointed. If you really need the beach, you can day-trip to the water. We just didn't want to leave our room.

Ladera leaves you feeling absolutely in awe of the world - I can't believe a place like this exists!

Orlando, Florida

Our stay at Ladera was the highlight of our honeymoon! There are no words to describe the view of the Pitons from your room. When Yvonne showed us the room, I had tears in my eyes from the sheer beauty. We enjoyed all the resort had to offer--the spa, Gameroom, carpentry workshop, Monday meditation, infinity pool, sunsets, birdwatching, gardens and a trip to the Jade Mountain ancillary beach. We also enjoyed a bartending class with Jennifer who showed us how to make 3 delicious drinks and introduced us to St. Lucian rum (YUM!). As soon as we got home we eagerly recreated the drinks for our family. Chef Nigel and the staff at Dasheene are so hospitable and the flavors of the food were absolutely incredible. When you took a bite of the food you just closed your eyes and savored the taste for a moment because it was just so good. We did the "Book a Chef" experience and it was so worth it to experience more dishes than we did on a traditional evening and to get to try unique creations by Chef Nigel. It was lovely to talk to the Chef and learn more about his cooking inspriations. It was just incredible and I have to thank Unforgettable Honeymoons for booking our package to stay here! Maryann was an amazing travel agent and without her guidance we wouldn't haven't had the stay of our lives at Ladera. Can't wait to come back!
