We will without question be back. If you are considering a trip to Saint Lucia I can’t recommend Anse Chastanet enough. You may find another place that will be less costly but Anse Chastanet is worth every penny. They say when we leave this world our lives pass before our eyes, like a highlight movie. Anse Chastanet will be in my highlight movie and it’ll be in your’s also. Read less

Just returned from a 6 day couple’s holiday to Anse Chastanet on St. Lucia. Beautiful spot. Loved it and Would definitely return. It is important for Visitor’s expectations to understand the Pros and Cons. First example is that unlike the sister property Jade Mountain, Anse Chastanet has an old-world vibe to it. Low key, no glitz and glamour. Sort of traditional Caribbean in terms of decor etc. the room we stayed in (3D) was not fancy but was perched up along the hillside, making you feel like you were in the jungle. There was an outer room completely open to nature which acted as a living room/lounge. Quite lovely. No windows. The inner bedroom was four poster with mosquito netting around it and a fan overhead. There are some mosquitoes around but not a ton and the staff lights a coil at night to keep them away. The fan is important because there is no AC. This may be a deterrent for some as nighttime temps did not go much below 78F. I believe the beachfront cottages do have AC but nowhere else. Apart from this, everything is top notch starting with the great service from all staff. It is a small resort and it never felt busy. You always got a beachfront palapa without delay. I used the scuba shop each day-it is super convenient, located right next to the beach bar and many of my dives were just me and the Divemaster. It is a particularly great resort for scuba divers due to the convenient location, and the fact that most of the dives were only a 10 minute boat ride away. Food was terrific. I recommend the MAP plan with breakfast and dinner included. There is no real great need to go into the town of Soufrière to eat. Besides, the road into town is terrible and it takes almost 30 minutes to go just a few miles. We paid extra for the convenience of helicopter service to and from the airport and were very glad we did. The resort is small and boutique-y, but there is plenty to do and fun excursions. Jungle cycling, plantation walking tour. Whale watching, scuba and of course the gorgeous beach and lovely, warm sea. One other point to emphasize: there are about 100 stairs from the main area of the resort down to the beach. So make sure you are mobile enough to handle that, although I believe they have a shuttle if you are not. I also learned about and got to know a little about St. Lucian culture and that was a positive influence on my appreciation. Bottom Line. Make sure you understand the part about the stairs, lack of AC and traditional decor, but if you are OK with that, you will absolutely love this place. Read less

Excellent stay for us at Anse! Fabulous staff and gorgeous hotel and collection of restaurants. Special thanks to Ruban Kumar at Apsara for going an extra mile to make us feel special. He is an amazing chef. Also, thanks to chef Frank and his staff for all the menu they have been able to create. Hope to be able to make to Jade next time.

I could carry on with a super long raving review about literally every aspect of staying at this resort or you can go see for yourself! In addition to excellent food and a variety of options from which to choose, the accommodations and resort activities are a-plenty while the staff and customer service is unparalleled. I will be back!
