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.

Ladera is a truly unique property. The setting is stunning- set between the pitons 1000 feet above sea level. You cannot beat the views. Food at Dashnee was excellent, the farm to table was apparent in every dish. There was a daily fish special and so many seafood options along with beef, chicken, pasta, risotto etc. Chicken dishes and goat dish was excellent. The chocolate mousse was the best dessert I have ever had. Wine choices were excellent and cocktails, for the most part, were great. Service was wonderful- every staff member knew our names and did whatever possible to make our stay lovely. Servers, managers, reception, drivers, cleaning staff, butlers, were all incredible. We stayed in 2 rooms- a Hilltop suite (X3) and a Heritage Suite (G). Both rooms were amazing however the Heritage Suite was STUNNING. Ladera is an open concept resort so you have to be prepared for the sound of nature, bugs in your room, particularly moths- moths bigger than you can imagine. Don't worry, the birds come in and eat them in the morning! The rooms have many fans and we found the only time it was warm was when we were getting ready for dinner. Nighttime was lovely. We did excursions, went to both beaches, to the spa, rum hideaway, hiked the trails. All were excellent. I recommend anyone looking for a unique experience to try Ladera.

The absolute most magical incredible place we have visited. I can’t properly express the beauty and incredible experience we received at Ladera. No photos or reviews will ever do it justice, you need to experience it for yourself. The rooms are absolutely BREATH TAKING. The staff is INCREDIBLE, so accommodating and ready to go above and beyond to make sure you have the best experience. It was such a unique experience we will never forget. We will dream about coming back soon. The open wall room is something you have to experience for yourself, this was truly a unique one of a kind experience. As a Floridian that sleeps with their ac set at 67 degrees evey night, I was worried about how it would feel to stay in the open wall rooms… I can’t believe how comfortable and relaxing the breeze and sounds of the nature outside was. Me and my husband both agreed we truly slept better than we do at home lol!! Thank you to our butlers Sedley and Rohan for making this an absolute dream stay for us. You both were such a huge part of making our stay perfect and going above and beyond. Thank you! We will be back

We had an amazing experience staying at Ladera this month! Pros: -Staff! Friendliest staff we’ve ever encountered on our travels. -Dasheene: Amazing food and service! The views were spectacular from the restaurant. -Room: Well cared for and very unique in design (wood carvings) -Leve Spa: Insane! Such a great couples massage. -Layout: Very intimate but super accommodating from food, to service, to amenities (treehouse was so cool!) -Security: We felt very safe and secure! The staff did an excellent job verifying when you needed to leave (and gave us a cellphone) as well as signing upon our return Cons: -If you get motion sickness, the ride from the airport can be a challenge (nothing against the resort) -Wind: The room was phenomenal and had amazing views, but being that high up in elevation brings on some crazy wind/rain. Definitely recommend Ladera to anyone considering visiting St Lucia!

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.
