Ladera Resort

Just got back from an amazing trip to Ladera Resort. We stayed four nights at the all suite resort. The hospitality that you receive is simply amazing. Not one time when we were walking around the resort for the four days, did the staff not greet us. Every day or night they call you by name and ask how things are. Very personal touch. You feel like family there. We were meet by Melissa who took us to our room PR6 ( Paradise Ridge). Last room at the end next to were they are building new spa. Took time to go over every thing in your room . They give you a cell phone while at the resort for anything you may need, just call and they will gladly take care of it.Views from any suite from this place are amazing. Once visit and you will see why. Breathtaking. On site they have a game room, hot tub area, workout gym. yoga instructor that come once a week, plus star gazing platform. Also a hiking trail at end right next to our suite to walk thru and get a different view of the Pitons. Just to mention, our suite did not have A/C, but you really don't need it as you get a constant breeze with the rooms sitting on a mountain ridge. Only one night was a little uncomfortable, and this was Aug. This trip was one we won't forget,to many people to thank, but a few we remember are Melissa, Schoel,Jenny and Caroline,Thank you so much and hope to see you soon. Best Wishes. One more thing, they due have a spa which we used, but a new one being built. They have a restaurant, called Dasheene. little expensive as all are on island. have to expect that, but good food all around.

My wife and I have made Ladera an annual tradition, Just for US! This was actually our 7th visit to Ladera, and something we spend all year waiting for. The rooms are fantastic, and it is hard to drag my eyes away from the Pitons. The private pool and the feeling of complete privacy. It rejuvenates both of us. The staff are wonderful, and now they all greet us by name. Even the few who we don't have contact with greet us warmly and with interest, not the perfunctory way someone passing on the sidewalk would do . There are some changes happening at Ladera. There is a new spa being built at the far end of Paradise Ridge. It will look out over the jungle, and looks much more spacious. There is a new exercise room high up in the middle of the resort . It has a stunning view both out to the ocean, and to the jungle. There is a dedicated Palates room and astronomy deck being constructed. There is a new game room (in to old exercise room) and a hot tub nearby the game room. (We didn't get a chance to visit either room) . There is a new nature hike trail. It has lots of carved-in steps as you follow the backside of a ridge. Somewhere up trail is a meditation pond, and a crossover to an ocean view. (Next year perhaps, but not right after breakfast!) Ladera offers a complete experience, from fantastic rooms with a view, to a wonderful dining experience with a view at the Desheene. Many people want the experience and do everything on St Lucia. There are tours of the nearby drive-thru volcano crater, mudbaths, the beaches, snorkeling, zip lines, climbing Gros Piton, or my favorite, visiting the rum tasting room at the rum distillery. Or you can do the opposite, which in our minds, is even better. Do Nothing! Withdraw to your room, and enjoy the view and each other. Leave your room for drinks and meals. Repeat. Either way, you can't choose wrong at Ladera.

We spent one night at Ladera and had one of the greatest moments of our life. The staff was professional and friendly. Our room and heated pool made us feel really special in our own world. Waking up to the view of the Piton is indescribable! Dinner at Dasheene restaurant was delicious. We???ll definitely be going back. Ladera is an excellent resort for special celebrations
