Our stay at Ladera was absolutely amazing! The resort & view are stunning. The most beautiful view I’ve ever seen! Every person on staff we encountered treated us like royalty. They knew exactly what room we were staying in. They always welcomed us on our way to our room & told us to enjoy our day as we were headed out. It was absolutely amazing & can’t recommend the resort enough! We stayed in hilltop 4 (with an extra bedroom that had a/c!). We also requested a plush mattress topper that was divine. Everything we ate at Dashenee was phenomenal! Read less

The Dasheen Restaurant serves up amazing dishes, great views, and the best service. Their entertainment was also a treat. From the nature trails to the Rum Bar, everything was extraordinary. Their staff were fantastic. They were accommodating, fast, friendly, and helpful when looking for advice about things to do. I will recommend this to anyone who is looking for a recommendations for places to stay in St. Lucia. Read less

My husband surprised me with this trip for my 50th birthday on Oct. 31. This is one of the most magical destinations I have personally experienced! Ladera Resort is so cool with its 3-wall design, and we had a massive plunge pool in our room. From the personal attention we received upon arrival to the birthday surprises that awaited us in our suite, this vacation was PERFECTION! The grounds are immaculately maintained, and the views are unmatched! There are so many fun amenities at Ladera that we had a blast every single day! Chef Nigel's creations at Dasheene were incredibly delicious, and the cocktails and grazing boards in the Hideaway Rum Bar were so amazing. Ninus makes a very delicious and professional cocktail--he is one of the most talented Mixologists we've ever had the pleasure meeting. Where this resort really stands out is in the very personalized attention and service we received. Starting with Vianney, the very kind and professional manager of food service/in-room dining. He always made sure we were set with any room-service needs from great food and beverage recommendations. We hit him up several times throughout our stay, for in-room snacks (the grilled cheese and sweet potato fries were so delicious)--to buckets of Piton beers, wine, and/or Champagne selections, V is your guy for fast, professional, attentive service! Standouts for the best customer service also include butler Devonte, who was always so patient and mild-mannered, and he kept our mini-bar stocked every day! Our room was tended to multiple times a day and was therefore always immaculate. We stayed in a Rainbow suite, room A1, and again, the massive plunge pool did NOT disappoint! We spent so much time in our room and in our pool, indulging in wine and Champage, listening to music, and simply enjoying the most marvelous vistas! Ms. Tanisha and Ms. Abigail were also extremely kind and helpful. We booked all our excursions with Caroline, and she, too, was a true professional. Bottom line, I can not say enough great things about Ladera Resort and its AMAZINGLY TALENTED staff and top-notch service! Read less

Views that are unmatched on the island coupled with service that is the same. We expected beautiful scenery we just underestimated how wonderful the experience would be while enjoying it. It felt as if we were always the priority at the resort. Truly an amazing experience.
