Trappe, Pennsylvania

What a wonderful 4 days my wife and I just spent at Ladera. The setting is breathtaking as is the view from any location on the property. The room was very spacious(we stayed in the heritage suite room c) and filled with beautiful carvings and furniture which is made on site. We ate most meals at Dasheen restaurant and were never disappointed! Even though this was a bad time to travel because of the Corona virus, the hotel still made us feel safe and welcome. The staff were among the friendliest and warmest people we ever had the pleasure of staying with. We already miss everyone and can't wait to go back!!

Brooklyn, New York

My husband and I spent 5 days at Ladera to celebrate our anniversary, and it exceeded our every expectation. We stayed in a Gros Piton suite and the views were absolutely breathtaking. We loved the heated private plunge pool and spent time in it every day of our trip! All the staff were so kind and accommodating, and it was really easy to book all the activities we wanted to do. The trip was wonderfully relaxing and restorative. The open air room was comfortable and well-appointed, and we were delighted to get a bottle of sparkling wine and a fruit platter to welcome us. I had been a little worried about bugs at night but we had no issues at all. We wish we could have stayed longer and would absolutely love to go back!

Nashville, Tennessee

We have just returned from a -too short- trip to Ladera where we stayed in one of the paradise ridge suites. The views from everywhere are stunning, the staff is friendly, caring and attentive. It felt like staying with family member. Our suite came with butler service which provided an even higher level of service. We booked Ladera because we saw the pictures online and thought this would be a wonderful place to visit to disconnect and relax. As with everything on the internet we were wondering how genuine they were. Well it is as real as can be. The bed was very comfortable and high enough to get the view as soon as we woke up. The suite is large and well furnished with resort made furniture and wood carvings. The floors and massive shower room have mosaic details tying it to the view and surroundings. There are beach towels and a shuttle taking you to the beach 3 times a day. The airport transfer was done in private comfortable vehicles. The night sounds can be turned off by the water noise from the cascade in the pool or enjoyed by turning the water pump off. The same for the bird songs at sun rise. It felt wonderful to be so in tune with nature. The pool was also heated and deep enough to stand up in the hot water whilst looking out to the Caribbean Sea. The night sky is full of stars as we had not seen in a while and the star map provided was fun to use and figure what was what. The room has a coffee maker so you can enjoy the view with a nice cup of espresso before getting your breakfast delivered or heading out to get it at the restaurant. The fridge is stocked up every day with water, coke, sprite, beer. The restaurant enjoys the views and has a fresh menu with local fresh fruits and vegetable. We will get back as soon as we can and this time for a longer stay to make the most of the extra experience they offer. We are also excited about the larger spa they are building up. The pictures attached here are standard iPhone pictures.
