There is no fourth wall in villas at Ladera – instead, there is the jaw-dropping backdrop of the Pitons, two mountainous volcanic spires that attract adventure-seekers from across the world. A faint tropical breeze wafts from the Caribbean Sea far below through netting on a four-poster bed carved from polished tropical hardwood. Incentive to leave your room can be found in chef Nigel Mitchel's creative interpretation of traditional island fare – try the roast conch served with organic vegetables from the neighboring plantation.

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!

We stayed at Ladera resort for our babymoon and it was nothing short of perfection. The rooms are so luxurious with heated pools and a very cool 3-wall design. The staff is incredibly kind, professional, and helpful. We had butler service with Devonte who was superb; so fun and informative. The view of the Pitons from the room as well as the restaurant blew us away. There's also a ton of stuff to do both on and off the resort. I cannot recommend this resort enough.

The views are stunning. Ladera is an amazingly thoughtful resort. Everything from beautiful rooms (get the personal plunge pool) to the walking trails on the property will take your breath away.

This was the second leg of our honeymoon and we really loved it. Absolutely gorgeous view of the Pitons and the Caribbean. We spent every afternoon soaking in the view from our private pool as the sun set and it was unbelievably relaxing. Our Heritage suite was incredibly spacious and beautifully decorated with custom tiling and carvings on the wood pillars. Would definitely recommend hiking the trail on Ladera's property for more amazing views of the area. The Ladera Treehouse at the far end of the resort was a peaceful and neat spot to relax and read for a couple of hours. All of our meals from Dasheene were very, very good (we had the lava cake dessert every night) and the dinner experience felt high-level with palate cleansers and a nightly chef's special appetizer. The staff (general managers included) was very friendly and helpful to us. We did find sleeping to be difficult due to loud bird calls and the rain hitting the metal roof. However, this was not unexpected as this was our first time staying in an open-air room. Small lizards and birds were present in the room, but insects were not a major issue and overall we were mostly unbothered by nature and we were given standing fans to stay cool at night under our bed's netting as well as earplugs and eye masks. All in all, Ladera was a lovely experience. Expensive, yes, but we would absolutely consider returning in the future.

My boyfriend and I spent a week at Ladera Resort in St. Lucia, West Indies, this past October. It is a beautiful resort with incredibly attentive and friendly staff. I would like to specifically mention Chef Orlando Satchell. He made an already special stay at Ladera even more wonderful. The room we stayed in was utterly incredible. The view of the ocean flanked by the Pitons, with the moon casting a path on the sea below was magic. It was an incredibly romantic, relaxing vacation which neither one of us wanted to end.
