By far the most amazing service I've ever received in my life. Friendly faces and warm greetings wherever I went. I came with my dive group from Oregon (USA) and we received top notch treatment from Felix, Errol, Kylah and the rest of the dive crew.

We had the most wonderful time at Anse Chastanet and are so happy we booked with them for our honeymoon! Upon our arrival we were greeted with welcome drinks and a cool towel, which set the tone for a great start to our trip. We were upgraded to a larger room for our honeymoon, which had the most stunning views of the Pitons and the Caribbean Sea. The beach was beautiful and all of the food was so delicious. Everyone was so kind and friendly to us and made us feel so welcomed, which made our honeymoon feel even more special. We booked a “dinner under the stars” experience and had the most incredible evening, which was made even more special by our wonderful server Vanessa! We also booked a “jazzy sunset cruise” and had such an incredible time with wonderful views and music as we watched the sun set. Anse Chastanet was the perfect place for our honeymoon and first time to St Lucia, and we would love to return back someday! Read less

What an incredible place. From the moment you arrive you are surrounded by peace, nature and tranquility. Check-in was a smooth process and the staff were extremely informative. I stayed in suite 5D, Piton Pool Suite which has a private pool. The suite is stunning with cascading views of the Pitons, ocean and resort and comes with a large terrace with sofa’s. A perfect spot to enjoy sunrise and sunset. It was hard to drag me away from the private pool and loungers and down to the beach but I’m so glad I did as the beach is just as stunning. Food is also incredible with a wide array of options and wonderful staff. This resort is something special and I have never felt so relaxed and rejuvenated. Anse Chasanet has just got everything right and from beginning to the end of my stay I felt truly relaxed. Thank you to all of the incredible staff. Read less

We had a fantastic and memorable family holiday at Anse Chastanet. My wife and I visited Jade Mountain 9 years ago and it was great to be able to take our family back to this beautiful part of St Lucia. The hotel is extremely well managed and every member of the team were keen to help us have a great experience. Nothing was too much trouble for them. We love both the beaches and the snorkeling is awesome. The food was a real highlight for us, and we all enjoyed every meal and every restaurant. Breakfast is worth getting out of bed for! We opted for all inclusive and this worked well for us. We arranged to go for dinner at Jade Mountain one evening, for a small supplement, and this was a real highlight. The menus and food have really moved on since we were last there. Back at Anse Chastanet there was good live music acts in the evening but this is not a party resort and things finish up quite early, which actually suited us. We had hillside rooms which were lovely, with beautiful views of the Pitons and Anse Chastanet Beach. We normally stay in the north when we visit St Lucia, but we will definitely be returning to Anse Chastanet or Jade Mountain. Read less
