Ladera Resort

Ladera Resort in St. Lucia deserves more than five stars—our entire stay was absolutely unforgettable. We celebrated our ten-year marriage anniversary here, and everyone on the team went above and beyond to make sure it was truly special. The service was top-notch from the moment we arrived, and every staff member we met was warm, friendly, and genuinely dedicated to making our experience perfect. A huge shout-out to Dayne, our driver to and from the airport—he welcomed us with such kindness, made us feel comfortable right away, and set the tone for an amazing stay. Every meal we had was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Housekeeping ensured our room was spotless every single day. And the butler service was exceptional across the board. Special recognition goes to the wonderful butlers who assisted us: Rohan, Saidely, Vianney, and especially Devonte, our main butler who took care of us most often. Their attentiveness and timing were incredible—there were moments when we weren’t expecting anything, yet a butler was already outside our room ready to assist. Our room featured a breathtaking view of the Pitons and the Caribbean Sea—waking up to that every morning felt surreal. The entire resort is incredibly peaceful and allows you to truly disconnect from technology so you can experience the island’s beauty in its purest form. The views, the nature, and the quiet serenity alone are enough to make you fall in love with this place. By the end of our stay, we genuinely felt like family, and we will absolutely be returning in the future. Overall, Ladera exceeded every expectation and made our anniversary unforgettable. If you’re looking for luxury, tranquility, and impeccable service, this resort is second to none. Highly recommend!

Our stay at Ladera Resort was nothing short of magical! The property itself is breathtaking—perched high above the Pitons with open-air suites that make you feel like we were living in a dream. The views are beyond anything we’ve ever seen! Every staff member we encountered went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional. Our butler, Devonte, and Vianney with room service were especially incredible—both were kind, attentive, and consistently thoughtful! Both remembered our preferences, anticipated our needs, and made us feel personally cared for throughout our stay. We were sad to say goodbye bye to them at the end of our stay. The housekeeping team kept everything immaculate, and the front desk staff greeted us with genuine warmth each time we passed by. They took care of helping us to get cash when we couldn’t get to an ATM, made sure we had towels when we left the property (even realizing for us and bringing them out to our taxi one day that we forgot to stop by and pick them up!) The concierge was also extremely helpful and was able to book us wonderful experiences even though we left some of our planning till the last moment. The bar and restaurant staff were friendly and I often felt I was talking with friends rather than staff members. We felt completely at home while still wrapped in luxury. Ladera isn’t just a resort—it’s an experience. It blends natural beauty, outstanding service, and pure relaxation in a way that feels effortless and unforgettable. We left feeling refreshed, inspired, and already dreaming of our next visit. While the open air experience may not be for everyone, if you are considering it, it was 100% worth it. The mosquito nets were effective and the breeze and fans made sleeping comfortable. I even used the comforter for the last half of our stay! If you’re looking for a uniquely intimate and extraordinary escape, Ladera Resort is absolute perfection. Highly, highly recommend!

Our stay at Ladera Resort was fantastic. The property is stunning. Our “room”, like every room at Ladera, had an expansive, open-air view of the Pitons beyond our personal plunge pool. When I stuttered, “oh my goodness” upon walking in, Caroline mentioned that many people say the same upon arriving! It’s one of the most beautiful and unique resorts we’ve ever visited. What really made our experience unique was the genuine personal interactions with the entire team. Christian and Sonya were a pleasure to interact with throughout our stay. Their care and friendliness made us feel instantly familiar. Anson’s morning yoga classes were a great way to start each beautiful day and Caroline’s welcome at the beginning of our stay and assistance throughout as concierge was very warm and personal. Absolute highlight - Alexander the Great (Jr)’s impromptu tour of the flowers and fruits that beautifully cover the Ladera property. The generosity with which he shared his knowledge and enthusiasm was awesome! I was also fortunate to spend time at Ladera as an artist in residence, which was an incredible experience. The studio itself is inspiring, and I enjoyed and appreciated working alongside Boniface. Cindy’s guidance and coordination were also invaluable, and I’m grateful for her support. Ladera is the perfect combination of natural beauty, exceptional service, and genuine hospitality. We left feeling refreshed, inspired, and ready to return. If you visit St. Lucia, stay at Ladera. In fact, visit St Lucia in order to stay at Ladera!

We recently returned from a four night five day stay at Ladera and it was incredible. First off, the rooms are like no where else we have ever stayed. Three walls with incredible views and privacy. Every room has a waterfall feature that drowns out any other rooms noise and also you can tell the resort is well designed that rooms are spaced appropriately. As for bugs/nature in the rooms- I was a bit nervous about this but it didn’t end up being an issue. We didn’t find the need to use bug spray while there and came home with no bites. I would tuck our mosquito netting into the underside of the bed at night and that seemed to keep any unwanted bugs out. I enjoyed the included morning yoga one AM and it was like my own private yoga/stretch session. I would highly recommend! I visited the new spa which was amazing and also did a workout in the gym and hiking trails. The service here is next level. It seems as though they have 5 workers to every 1 guest. It’s incredible. I left wondering how this hotel is only ranked as 4 stars. I’ve stayed at many five star hotels and this one knocks those out of the park. We know we will return again some day. It was truly one of the best trips we’ve ever had.

My wife and I had an amazing visit to Ladera. It was our first time to St Lucia, and we were looking to have a quiet, laid back, private few days together. Ladera and their amazing staff catered to our every need. We stayed in the Petit LeFleur suite which had spectacular views of the Pitons and was completely private. The Concierge service help us setup a few excursions, visiting the Volcano, mud baths, waterfalls and mineral spring baths was awesome, and they setup me up with a great Scuba guide just a 15 min car ride away from the hotel. We also took the shuttle to Sugar beach which was clean and private. We ordered room service for breakfast and lunch each day, and ate on-site at the Dasheene restaurant each of our 4 nights. The food was delicious and small changes to the menu each day kept it interesting. It was one of our favorite trips, and we will certainly be visiting again. Thank you Ladera team!
